Thanks for the stream BooBoy/sligofella
Hard Luck Lads
From what ive read on justin, Albanian fans are downright rude,arrogant,ignorant and pathetic. Someone goes to the trouble of putting up a live stream and thats the thanks he gets ? jesus some of the worst fans ive ever come across. We had plenty of shots but it was the first leg all over again really :(. Ah well Boco was more lively and dangerous but atleast we didnt get hammered like some people have mentioned (not on these boards) I couldnt beleive Conor O' Grady's stupidity with that sending off but it looks like the frustration got to him. Lets just put this behind us and roll on Sunday. But atleast Rovers can leave this game with dignity knowing they put a on a decent performance.
Enough chances to get it to extra time at least, if Feeney had knocked it in from 3 yards before we did score it could have been so different.......coulda woulda shoulda, over the two legs a great opportunity lost.
As said earlier if only we had a striker.
Now back to getting away from the bottom of the table!!
Anyone else gonna lump on Rapid Vienna?
Have to agree with above,Conor was silly wasted up the last 2/3 minutes for us.thought they played well enough,still no fire power up front and its costing us.thought their goal was soft enough.They had time wasting down to a fine art even the ballboys stop throwing in the footballs towards the end.Thats what I hate about the contenential game the diving the rolling around and the refs still fall for it.Quote:

Can you not see the stickied 5 page long thread?
Credit to all who travelled too, ye created a great atmosphere and could be heard throughout the game.
Fair play to anyone that travelled and it took nearly nine hours to travel from Croatia to Albania. They were cat but scored the same goal as the Showgrounds running and no tackles. Jaysus but I thought they would never score, it could of been ten two and Keane had great chance to sidefoot an opener at the end. Feeneys miss was worse though from two yards.
Well done to the travelling supporters.
We blew it in the first leg,hard to believe that they won with about three or four shots on goal in the two matches combined.
the important thing now is to refocus on the league. We also have the league cup and the FAI cup. Come on the bit o red
Just wanted to say well done to all the lads who travelled over to the game. Sang all game and done the club proud, my brother watching at home could hear you all game he said.
Never usually stand amongst the singing crowd until today.
On the game, it was there for the taking. We had enough chances but just couldn't convert, can't help but think if Morrison was on the pitch longer it would have been a different result. He was great when he came on and got a good few crosses in while on the pitch. Have to focus on the league now.
Had a bit of trouble leaving the ground, got spat at outside the place they call a stadium and my girlfriend got grabbed and pushed by a guy in a baseball cap for no reason at all. If we weren't in fecking Albania i would have laid the bitch out.
I am gutted tonight. I genuinely thought we would get through this tie. Nothing that I saw of the Albanians will convince me that they are any better than us. This is a missed opportunity to progress and make a bit of money for the club.
Am I only one beginning to feel that Cookie is an unlucky manager when it comes to cup competitions, missed penalties, OG's, crap penalty shoot outs, injuries to players at key times....I could go on.
Onwards to Sunday, a win against Cork really would be a good tonic.

The boys sounded great. I was watching it online and you could hear them singing up the whole way through.
As I said after the first leg, they are sh*te but the harsh reality is the result and that doesn't lie. We came up short and it's a pity.
The performance from the players was very good, just lacked that killer touch up front, if Sligo could have a decent front man, they could have won that game quite easily.
The game might have been much different, if that Albanian defender was sent off early in the game and ref gives a free out !, shocking ref, up there with the worst decisions ever imo. Not only that, he fails to give clear free kicks for either side through the whole game.
Those Albanians like hitting out at players, first the goalie, than that defender and the striker late in the game, dirty dirty side.
gutted after a 7 hour trip to a dump!we should have bet these they were poor,and people complain our ground is bad,this place is a state!1 toilet for men and women no shop,fair play to the team who gave us a case of water,the seats were falling apart,police every where had to get a police escort out of the dump.you wouldn't put animals in the place.
