The moral being, if you pay enough money you will get a seat in 1st class, although next year barcelona fc won't be able to afford even a seat in economy and will have to get to their destination on a pushbike.:)Quote:

Unfortunately two injury time goals have put paid to that it seems. Bit of a sickener for them.
Astana also through, having turned around a 2-0 deficit at home to Brann in the last 30 minutes - 60, 81 and 90+1 minutes the goal times there. And FC Noah hanging on - they'll be the first Armenian side in the groups if they hold their 3-0 first leg lead against Ruzemberok of Slovakia, but they're 2-0 down with 25 to go...
RFS of Latvia - Conference League last year - heading for the Europa League groups this year. Beating APOEL home and away.
Plenty of drama so far! Not expecting much in Tallaght really given the first-leg scoreline. A dead-rubber draw about the best we can hope for I'd say.
3 nil down now PS and a man down. Armenia could end the night with no clubs in the League stage.
Nope - 88th minute goal and it's 4-3 Noah!
TNS make it to half-time scoreless against the Lithuanians - 3-0 up on aggregate and 45 minutes from the groups.
Killie 1-0 Copenhagen is a bit unexpected, though plenty of time yet.
And a weird tie in Belgium - Cercle Brugge won 6-1 away to Wisla Krakow, but they're 2-0 down at home after 20 minutes.
3-1 now. Crazy stuff. Don’t think they had a sniff at goal for most of the 2nd half. Not good news for the top 33 race.Quote:

Conference in the back pocket, 4-0 down from the first leg, this is truly a free shot. For 43 minutes last week, everything looked somewhat manageable, and then Agent Cleary arrived on the scene to sabotage the mission. Less of that tonight please. So go and put on a bit of a show, and not get hammered. Hopefully a decent crowd turns up.
We'll see how Pat's do against Drogheda, the Euro game being on Wednesday might give them a fighting chance of taking it seriously. If they play to the level they have in Europe they could go on a very strong run for the rest of the season, lot's of IF's but it's a lot more likely than it seemed pre Vaduz and no one has really pushed on and taken a strong hold of 3rd or 4th yet, everyone is dropping points and will continue to do so imo. I think this Euro run and the way the fixtures have fallen has been more or less perfect for Kenny to build team spirit and get some confidence in to an already very talented bunch.
S Rovers coming 3rd and Pat's finding a way to finish 4th, with Derry/Shels winning the cup wouldn't surprise me as well as Waterford/Galway/Sligo have done so far.
Probably could do with Rovers getting some Co-efficient points later.
Celje 1 up to Pyunik and the Armenians down to 10. Could do with the Slovenians winning that tie after Noah scraping home.
2 nil to Celje.Quote:

Larne kicking off just now as well, 2-1 down from the away leg in Gibraltar against Lincoln Red Imps, but with every chance of making it through to the groups to be the first Nordy team through.
Still remember Linfield's incredible collapse a couple of years ago against the Latvians. Up there with Liverpool v Arsenal 1989 as an argument for running for the corner in the very last minute...
Would want Legia to still win that match so no extra points for Kosovo before they bow out.Quote:

Very poor from Lopes there with that pass, and it almost cost them. Pohls again as last week making good saves early on.
Larne go 1-0 down - so 3-1 now. Disaster there.
Result in Wales though - there'll be dancing on the streets of TNS tonight!

But those stats suggest one-way traffic.
