Derry or Salihorsk will play Zulte Waregem of Belgium or Zawisza Bydgoszcz of Poland. Dundalk would play Shakter Karagandy of Kazakhstan or FK Atlantas of Lithuania if they can manage to over-turn the first-leg deficit.

Would imagine it's the end of the road for Derry and Dundalk, but you never know what can happen once you get an early goal.
Massive games next week for Pats and for Sligo. Would love to head down to both games, but alas, will have to hope for some sort of live coverage, however unlikely to happen that is.
Twas Rosenborg that ran the stream last night. Would like to see Sligo run their own stream though for those who can't make it. The stadium will be a sellout regardless, so won't be losing any revenue over it, in fact, if they ran a stream and charged a few quid like Rosenborg did, they'd soon make a heap of money from Norwegian viewers.
Was it? Fair enough. They were charging for it; would have expected some graphics or something beyond a guy with a camera if they were charging.
Yeah it was Rosenborg. They do it for all their home games if they're not on Norwegian TV apparently (well when I say all they did it for their league game at the weekend as well so am presuming so). In fairness they advertised it as one camera, standard definition and no replays.
Don't know if we'll do a stream. We did one a few years ago for one of the games but didn't charge for it.
Ah yes I do recall now but the crazy match that was going on in Tranmere could have convinced anyone they were blind drunk on water! The great memory of that evening still stands though no matter how foggy and that was the utter disbelief by so many around that LoI clubs were really putting it up to Scotlands big two at the time before Shels imploded. (didnt they concede late the previous season against Kilmarnock....a regular issue for Loi sides in Europe it seems).
There's highlights of our game http://www.tv2.no/v/829833/
If (as is likely) it turned out to be the Kazakh team, then Dundalk dodged a potential big financial loss bullet. It has to be the pits to draw a Kazakh team then just lose out in ET or penalties after travelling half way around the world and back, inside 6 days. The ultimate european adventure romance killer if ever there was one.
Best they just take their current winnings and go on and win the league.
I definitely wouldn't rule out Derry winning in Belarus. They stopped us playing but don't think they'll mark our forwards as tight next week.
if Pats could get through..IF, id fancy them to put up a good display against Celtic, i watch a lot of Celtic as prob a lot on here and there an average side, no real top quality. Forrester in goal, Van Dijk at the back and Commons to me are the 3 best players, no world beaters after that. Scott Brown been out long term would help St Pats as he drives them IMO. There playing there 2nd leg in Murrayfield, would they be back at Celtic Park,not sure?
I watched bits of the game fleetingly and Celtic seemed fairly comfortable the other night despite only winning 1-0. The chances of Reykjavík over-turning that in Scotland are extremely slim. Is the second leg in Murrayfield due to the Commonwealth Games or what?
For anyone who didn't have the pleasure of seeing it first time, Christy Fagan's goal against Legia here:

Just watching it all unfold again, it's such a fantastic, well-worked goal. Some beautiful and purposeful play from Pat's deep in Legia's half.
It's not exactly prize money until all costs are covered :)
I had thought Europa league money was about Eur80k per tie.
What would it cost to charter a commercial jet for a 10500km round trip, on short notice in high season?
(including the Kazakh danger surcharge)
