PartySaint with the tactical jinx there.
Hopefully not, I want them to get through a few rounds.Quote:

Esch now have Ibrahimovic and Suarez on the pitch!
F/T Esch 0-2 Dundalk
Mightened as well book your tickets to Split lads.
Well done Dundalk.
UEFA updates were pretty good.
Good result for Dundalk. Sounds a better performance than their last trip to Luxembourg. I still reckon they can make an impact on Europe this season.
Great result from Dundalk. Well done.
Great to get an away win. Hopefully derry, Sligo and pats can get some good results too.
Jim Murphy stat on OrielWeb.
Quote:
First away win in Europe since Linfield 1979 (also 2-0) and Towell got the first double since Cathal Muckians two in the same match.
A Few other minor stats:
First LOI win since July 2012, when Pats beat Siroki Brijeg.
First 2 goal win since July 2011, when Pats again beat Shakhter Karagandy.
First Away win since Shamrock Rovers beat Partizan Belgrade in August 2011 (13 matches between both wins).
40th time that a LOI team has scored 2 or more goals in an Away match, 33rd time with 2 goals only.
3rd time that a LOI team has won 2-0 Away.
Well done to Dundalk. Hopefully they can win the home leg as well. They've come a long way since Sean McCaffrey.
Well to be fair Hajuck Split (baring a major collapse) will be a massive test and unless we can get something out of the away leg that will be as far as we'll go.Quote:

Very happy with the result tonight though, I had a mate at the game, said we dominated 2nd half, should have got a 3rd, but still a brilliant win.
Great result, congrats and well done!
those coefficient points won't go astray.

Thats an understated description of what happened that night in Dundalk!Quote:

I think that still should be considered an away game, I wouldn't agree it meant nothing, was a very important win as it put the club into the last 32 of the EC as it was at the time to play Hibs Malta next, then we lost 3-2 on agg to Celtic in the last 16.
I agree with that. But that's exactly what Shels did a few years back. And are they that different to Partizan, who Rovers beat?Quote:

That damn Oriel pitch again!
I saw a photo at the time of Liam Devine (rip) celebrating scoring for Dlk and in the background two fans are on the pitch fighting, one was on the ground. The home match in Oriel Park that summer in 1979 was definitely up there with the most violent crowd disturbances ever at a sporting event in the country.
Keely mentions other mad stuff during the match on the report that was posted.
Thats mad stuff, great read.Quote:

Well done Dundalk - 0.25 in the co-efficient bag already - same as last year!
A brief clip from the Banga-Sligo press conference is on the Banga site here: http://www.fkbanga.lt/index.php/medi...14-banga140702
Forward to about 02:50 for Sligo.
Had to check that, wow last year was really that bad.Quote:

Will this happen do you think?Quote:

It's looking like our home leg is going to be moved to tallaght, the Gardai have decided this not the club.
A small bit of a disaster for Pats really to surrender the home advantage. Maybe the RDS would be a better option? Maximise a bit of a crowd and make a big event of it? Or is that crazy talk?Quote:
