I'm not sure I understand? :) all I mean is there have been times down both flanks but more on the rb side that Larnaka are looking to exploit. Dundalk are doing very well so far.Quote:

They had to puts tonnes of extra rubber pellets on the pitch to satisfy some eufa regulation about bounce height. Never heard of that before. Was wondering if anyone else ever heard of that before? I know plenty of clubs in Russia and the like play on astro even in the CL proper. Do they also have to add extra pellets for their CL matches?
That ref is blowing for every little thing.
This will be a nerve shredding last 30 mins
Shiels is a colossus though
Some interesting results floating around tonight. Valur lost away to an Andorran side.
Santa Coloma 1-0 Valur in tonight's main upset. Valur - who were 60 seconds from knocking out Rosenborg last week - were shocking and deserved nothing tonight. Funny aul game!
I’m not watching the match. How are Dundalk doing? UEFA gives the impression of a very even game.
That ref is poor i say again
Dundalk doing v well. It's very even in terms of chances, possession, most things really. Duffy hit post in 1st half.
Excellent strike from Duffy again. Well saved by the keeper
Hoban sent off. And then not sent off.
Only seen this half but Larnaca better team from what I’ve seen.
Shields has become a better player the last few years. improved a lot. Type of player that does not get noticed. Played well tonight.
Larnaca seemed to raise their game for about 10 mins in the 2nd half and it looked like a goal was coming but Dundalk weathered the storm and are back in it the last 15 mins
Massively improved on the ball in recent years!Quote:

I would settle for that, didn't let in that dreaded away goal, and on a better pitch against a team still in pre season mode they have a good chance.
Hard to know what to make of that result. Clean sheet at home and if they score out there, they’d have a good chance. Having not seen the game, I don’t know how good Larnaca are and if they have a few more gears they can go up.
That's a very good result for Dundalk. They might have won it even, and crucially, the dreaded away goal was avoided. As the game wore on, Dundalk's high pressing out wide on the touchlines was excellent. Shiels was magnificent. Duffy was trying to be fancy in the first half when he should have blasted it, also, there was plenty of space to the goalies right, but still, they can score out there. A positive result I would say.
