Congrats Pats - a well deserved success after a number of less-than-proud moments in Europe. I'm happy for you and my Dad's old club he followed in college :D
The only sad moment is that it wasn't on RTE, so that maybe a few more people could have been converted to the cause. RTE always choose the glorious losses :)
well done pats...ex drog scores first one....delighted, hope they can play next game in dublin cos i read somewhere that they might have to use rds and its ready for rugby that weekend or something
Great to read some of Pat's ****ed fans comments! Hope you have a sore head :D
Is the draw today? I remember the craic we had trying to organise travel straight after the draw for Paris, especially the will we or wont we be playing at home first malarkey, with the internet on, multiple tabs open, credit cards at the ready, friends and family on the phone. Aahhh the memories. Enjoy it lads. Milan would be the tie I would want.
great result last night and overall...bit of good news for the league...hope ye get a decent draw that gives a chance to progress..motherwell etc
We can ony get one of these 5
AC Milan (ITA)
Beşiktaş JK (TUR)
FC Spartak Moskva (RUS)
Hertha BSC Berlin (GER)
FK Partizan (SRB)
I heard it on the radio, sounded great but I couldn't make out the commentary in the last 5 minutes, there was just a loud noise coming through.
A few hangovers this morning:D
Local Swedish report says that Pats tactics were unexpected,
the first 20 minutes was a dramatic reversal of their away tactics.
Paid credit to " the great Mark Quigley ruled"
and Pats backed by 3k noisy enthusiastic fans.
Delighted for all the Pat's fans. Great result for every League of Ireland supporter. Caught the end on the radio after training and it sounded incredible, I think it was Eoin Hand on the radio that compared it to the roar in Dalymount when Ireland beat France. Would have loved to be there, stupid training getting in the way.
Outside of AC Milan Pat's should be at least competitive against the teams in that section. I'm sure if you asked the players they'd want Milan though, would be some experience walking out in the San Siro to face Kaka and co.

Dammit - was hoping (selfishly) for Aston Villa - so I could go 20 miles up the road to watch the away leg at Villa Park... :DQuote:

Given the constant negative news about the League over the last few months, I can only assume those people are jealous and bitter.
There's no feeling like seeing your team's name come out of the (electronic) hat beside names like Milan, Herthan Berlin etc.
The summer of 2006 and Derry's Euro adventure was the best of my life and I imagine Pats fans feel the same way.
Enjoy it.

The draw is live on Eurosport and will be streaming live on the Eurosport website here from 12pm.
I was at the match last night. It was a great occasion, got nothing but good wishes from anyone who spotted my Dundalk jacket. Well done to St. Pat's! Best of luck in the next round..
If we lost, it'd have been different :pQuote:
