Pristina, this is only their second year in the Europa league, also got an away 0-0 draw, albeit against Luxembourg opposition (Fola technically have a higher coeffecient than well any of the irish teams bar Dundalk)
Can never get over the fact that Irish League clubs allow their players to go on holidays while the club is playing in Europe. Utterly mind boggling and baffling.Quote:

Wonder how long till Gjirokaster get banned for match rigging?
Anyone know how Dundalk have been doing so far? Just joined a stream of it now, 30 mins in 0-0
Levadia have been the better team so far.
Cheers.That electronic scoreboard is something else
damn, Benson way over when he should have slotted it home, tsk
Levadia df blocked him perfectly just as it looked he was about to score.Quote:

Derry's Euro campaign over inside the first 5 minutes two years in a row.
Dylan ****in Connolly ya boy!!
excellent goal by Dundalk, well worked, great, Dundalk can get another one I think
Ah here.Quote:

Also Luxembourg team one nil up against the seeded Azerbajan team...
Common denominator?!Quote:

Why are so few Irish teams unseeded when 3 teams from Azerbajan were seeded? why cant irish clubs show some of the consistency required for seeding in QR1?
Progres the crowd Rovers beat won 2-0 away against Gabala. Weren’t they in the EL within the last couple seasons? Luxembourg football clubs seem to be getting decent results in Europe the last 4-5 years. Are clubs now full time there?
1-0 Dundalk. Missed two very good chances to add to the score, but they'll be happy enough.
14 wins in a row in all competitions. Could have put the tie to bed though.
The bits of the game I managed to see, levadia looked good. Just caught dundalks goal, great ball in and a nice simple finish by Connolly. Expect Dundalk to be comfortable in the return leg
Levadia improved on last years’ side so very impressive result for Dundalk. Nothing silly at home and it should be on to the 2nd round.
Derry 2 down and down to 10 men.
How have they improved from last season?Quote:

Gornik Zabrze playing Zaria from Ukraine I see.
Only their second time in Europe since beating Rovers 7-0 in the mid 90s
Thought there had to be money in that League. Must be private funding. Goes to show,that there are few easy Leagues now. Even clubs from Malta and Northern Ireland are winning games in EL the last couple of seasons. The Macedonia League is another one that has improved a lot in recent years.Quote:

Rovers losing now. So looks like one win - and one goal - from the four games. Not unexpected though with the difficult draw
Rovers one down I see.
Bad start for the coefficient thoughQuote:
