Is Geysir a LOI fan now? You pluralised it...just bl8w him off and get it over with BS :P
But back to Dundalk I agree. Well done, I wonder will there be much celebrating in dundalk tonight :)
Time to split, Paul.
2011 is no longer a one hit wonder for the league. UEFA Group stage football is clearly a realistic target for LoI clubs.
Best of luck to Cork on Thursday night. Already a sellout. Massive ask. Hopefully they can progress further too.
Anyone know the prize money for the qualifying rounds? Every where I've looked only has the group stage onwards.
I'd imagine if they drew Celtic it would easily be a sell out at the Aviva, even if Dundalk managed to bring about 15,000 there.
Right people, someone needs to bring it up
Play Bate at home on the AstroTurf. 0-0.
Rent out a council grass pitch. 3-0
Let that be the end of it.
You arrive in the LOI in Europe thread every year like a bad smell Paul. :monkey:
would I be correct in thinking that Dundalk are not that far off getting an automatic seeding for next year, that is if they win the league again? 4.94? Need Dodge for this
Even though I'm not sure what is being argued by who anymore, this statement is correct. All the Croats I know are Hajduk fans and they never, ever refer to Split when talking about Hajduk. In the same way as neither United nor City are referred to as Manchester.Quote:

With 8 games left, you hope that their co-efficient would increase enough to guarantee that they are seeded I'm QR2 should they win the League. Would want minimum of 5 points to be in with a chance of that, based on this years' seedings.
in case you missed it

looking back at that, sun in their eyes in first half, peeing rain late second, got to love Irish weather
That as it may be Stu. The issue at hand was not that Paul was right but that he bothered to "correct" geysir so needlessly on this great night for LOI football.Quote:

Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.
Back to the Ireland forum with ya.Quote:

Best second half performance in Europe I have seen from an Irish side.O'Donnell was immense..
Cmon Cork go for it.
The 2 points are already added. They aren't far off, and are already seeded for the EL First round which we hope to put them in yet. If they win the next round and reach the CL group stages they would almost certainly be seeded.Quote:

What a joyous night to be a League of Ireland fan.
This is huge.
I wonder what's the chance of them strengthening the squad somewhat now? Richie Towell back on loan? Aiden McGeady as mentioned above, would he come on loan? Stiliyan Petrov wasn't offered a contract by Aston Villa. Stephen Hunt still has no club. Is that the sort of player they would look to? 6.5 million is a lot of money to blow on a few players..
A goalkeeper is needed there for definite.
He really was superb. The rain cleary affected BATE too. Dundalk played the conditions much more effectively.Quote:

Lastest team ranking has Dundalk up to 4.640. I assume that includes tonight's results.

I'm too long out of the loop to remember exactly but I think only actually winning and drawing matches could boost that further? Plus then there is bonus points for reaching CL/Europa Group stages and subsequent rounds.
Not inconceivable now that there could be an LOI team in the EL and CL group stages at the same time now.
What a time to be alive ;)Quote:
