Terrible goals to concede.
Erm, if it wasn't for the national co-efficient, Sligo wouldn't be starting out in the third qualifying round of the Europa League.Quote:

They wouldn't be seeded in the second either.Quote:

oh and rovers did score 2 good goals so leave Kirby alone
By the sounds of things, you'd be happy if Sligo scraped a 1-0 victory over Ballymote Celtic's under-12s.Quote:

It's great to have disappointment for not winning a game rather than what Pat's fans must be going through now after the defensive hames they made for both goals.
also Harley, language elsewhere. DI is hardly an enemy of Irish football.
he biggest problem with the first was rogers being a pussy and not committing himself to it. Absoloutely no excuse, almost grobbleresque on the make. The second he should be coming down on that ball and saving it into his chest any rebound he dives straight down on. Very poor goalkeeping.Quote:

I Wouldn't have thought so, because i wouldn't expect St Johns athletic u12s to make these mistakes.
the ***** stands for idiot but you can make what you want of it . On the ROVERS forum everyone is delighted with that result but here its not good enough cos of the coefficiant.
btw no way should Rovers have won comfortably or really at all. A draw was a good and fair result.
I wasn't dismissing Sligo's result tonight with my remark. Sligo got a great result (even if they could and should have won) and I commend their performance. We'd all have accepted a 0-0 away from home in Ukraine before kick-off. Did the league proud on that front. I wasn't referring to tonight though. I was referring to your non-support for Irish clubs in Europe in general and your failing to see the overall benefits of Irish clubs doing well or even acknowledging the merits in bettering the overall standard of the league. What I can't understand is what I see as your general "minnowist" attitude in the long run. You're admittedly happy to wallow in mediocrity, just so long as Sligo are winning something; anything. If it was the Mickey Mouse™ Connacht Championship, it seems you'd be content. Why not strive for better? You fail to see the bigger picture. You can only measure your own level of success by contrasting it with the level of your opposition.Quote:

I would be disappointed with the result if I was a Sligo fan. Same way I was disappointed with the 0-0 with Deportivo in 2004.
Oh. :(Quote:

Two frozen frames from the second Karpaty Lviv goal against Pat's here:
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/c...e85/stpats.png
The first is fractions of a second before the Karpaty player kicks it and the second is fractions of a second after. Rogers goes on to save that effort before the chap, who is clearly standing in an offside position in both, volleys it into the roof of the net. Bad decision to let that stand.
Nice work DI. Completely missed that.
cos STU pulls me on everything so playing it safe.Quote:

You said they werent any great shakes all along though? You were making out ye would beat them. Ye still can at home, but you seemed to have come near full circle!Quote:

im not offended just pointing out Rovers fans are happy with the result you probably wouldnt like it if they started telling you how bad your results were in the first division if you were happy with them.Quote:

Yes - second goal against Pat definitely offside. Well spotted.
Kirby's miss for Sligo still unbelievable. I think they may have cause to regret it.
Have to say, following Irish clubs in Europe has become great fun. (Thanks in large part to the internet). Hope both Rovers get through. Pats are gone, I'm afraid.
Next Thursday, I see Setanta Ireland are to broadcast Hajduk Split-Stoke City...
I was switching between the two streams today and i missed Kirbys so called "bloomer" !! Was it on the RTE sports news earlier or is it on Youtube yet???Quote:

So far this season, Vorskla lie in 3rd position in the Ukrainian league after three games and Karpaty are in 14th with one point. Tonight was Karpaty's first competitive win of the season. I don't rate Vorskla at all from what I've seen - their keeper is ridiculously suspect - and think Sligo have the beating of them, but I don't think St. Pat's should be too dejected either. If they give it a good go in Tallaght, who knows what might happen. Bohs looked like a comeback might have been on against Olimpija Ljubljana in Dalymount until that horrible defensive error.
I also came across this on Wikipedia:
Hadn't been aware of that.Quote:
On 12 August 2010, the Football Federation of Ukraine punished Metalist Kharkiv and Karpaty Lviv for fixing a match in 2008; both teams were handed a fine and deducted nine points each. The FFU then released a statement on 19 October 2010 that the point deductions will be applied for the 2011–12 season. However, Karpaty Lviv have indicated that they will take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport at Lausanne; the table will hence not include the deductions until a final verdict has been made.
Cheers lad.Quote:
