What a goal..3 nil rovers
Virtus of San Marino go 1-0 up against Milsami of Moldova - 3-3 on aggregate. This is the tie they lost in the last minute last week despite playing against nine men for the last 10 minutes.
Would obviously be unprecedented for a Sammarinese side to reach the playoff rounds.
Edit - they go 2-0 up!
4-0 Rovers now
But you never know - Uni Craiova were 4-0 up on aggregate against Trnava after half an hour tonight, and the tie's now gone to extra time
Good for us if the Moldovans go out.Quote:

Poor technically, not great in the air, slow. He's great at last ditch tackles (not tonight!) cos he's always out of position. Pats fan btw, sick of ****ing away money on bang average playersQuote:

Linfield win 2-0 and play Shels now. So Shels just need to beat Linfield twice to make the groups. Some difference from having to beat Hajduk and Depor
Linfield will be harder to beat this time but you got to hope Shels are battle hardened by their game to-date.Quote:

Really professional performance and Bradley deserves credit for building such a big squad.
Really looking forward to see how they fair against Santa Clara. Would be great if that tie is alive all the way to the end of the second leg.
Yeah, I called myself out of that one alright.Quote:

It would be strange to beat a side in Europe and then lose to them and fail to make the groups as a resultQuote:

Surprised UEFA didn't rule it out tbh
I know it's a step up for Rovers but I don't think it's the foregone thing that some people think.Quote:

Dinamo City of Albania currently doing to Hajduk what Shels hoped to do last night. 4-3 on Agg with 4 minutes of ET left. No easy ties.

You may say you’re a Pats fan but a search of your posts on foot.ie shows diddley squat evidence of that. There are two possibilities here - either you’re a football genius who knows more than all the pundits and supporters who consistently have Redmond on their team of the year - or you’re a sad clown getting your kicks from provoking people on the Internet.Quote:

Do you not think the third possibility - that's **** all posts to go off - is worth considering?
Can only take positives from that performance tonight. Hopefully we can carry that into Sunday and the remaining games and have more European magic nights next season.
That injury time free kick on the edge of the box would have been very interesting if there was an outfield player in goal which there would have been if the ref didn’t bottle the clear red card for handing outside the box and denying Melia a goal scoring opportunity. I guess the big boys always get the big decisions in the end.
I’d imagine that, tonight of all nights, a genuine Pats fan would have found something more positive to post about.Quote:

Whatever he is, you certainly won’t find many Pats fans who agree with him.
