Anyone uneducated in football would think dundalk were the team who have been CL group stage regulars the last few years based on that. Absolutely ridiculous performance I'm buzzing for them. Europa league at least, but a favourable draw and we could have our first ever Irish team in the champions league groups.
Hopefully we can pull off a similar result on Thursday now.
On this night we are all League of Ireland fans.
Just leave this here. :)Quote:

Seeded teams so far -
APOEL Nicosia (who scored three times in injury time today to knock out Rosenborg)
Viktoria Plzen (who scored late on to squeak past Garabag Agdam on away goals)
Dinamo Zagreb might be seeded or unseeded.
Ludogorets will probably be unseeded. As will Dundalk.
Other matches tomorrow, and too tight to call at this stage. But maybe Copenhagen, Celtic and Olympiakos seeded?
Nothing hugely daunting yet for a side who've just thumped BATE. No Depor, for example
I assumed as much. But given the timeframe between now and the Europa groups and the fact that they have guaranteed cash now...Quote:

Are you sure? I get worried when you start being optimistic.Quote:

Who gives a flying ****!Quote:

The club seems to be well run, I hope they keep their heads now and move the club to the next level.
Its an example to other clubs that success can be achieved sustainably if the right foundation is put in place.
Look forward to seeing them in Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday.
Well done to Dundalk. All the rest of us LOI fans can only dream of nights like this with our own clubs. Continued success lads.
They are in group stage of Europa now worst case. If they lost tonight would have been play offs for EuropaQuote:

Bit confused, I thought Kenny said that Dundalk take BATEs seed?
