0-0 at half time. Shels doing very well. Jason Byrne missed sitter in injury time of first half. Depor haven't shown much in the way of attack.
Shels:4-1-4-1: Williams, Heary, Harris, Rogers, Crawley, S.Byrne, J.Byrne, Hoolahan, Moore, Cahill, Fitzpatrick.
Depor:4-2-3-1: Molina(Manua 35ish), Manuel Pablo, Cesar, Andrade, Romero, Mauro Silva, Sergio, Victor, Valeron, Luque, Pandiani.
anyone near a tv, would be gateful for updates as to how shels are playing.
0-0 seems good, but is it a backs against the wall or are they playing well?
playing well, doing a fair bit of attacking and giving it a good go. Certainly not backs-against-the-wall at all.
thanks for the info.
Alan Moore just had a glancing header turned round the post. Almost 1-0 Shels!
Full-time 0-0, great performance from Shels.
good on them :)
hope they nick it in two weeks time

100/1 that they don't? I'll a tenner on that. ;)Quote:

Pretty even, neither side created much of note.
Draw was a fair result, fair play to Shels though, could have nicked it and they've matched the fifth ranked team in Europe.
Very good performance,good support and great result ,shels did the league proud wes was my man of the match :) :) :) :)
Firstly.....well done Shels. good result.
Secondly........Depor didnt attack Shels at all i fear for them in Spain
Thirdly..........we'll remind you what a tackle is on Saturday ;)
Finally...........good crowd good support and an over all good advert for the EL, so i'll give Shels their due
The half time announcer:
"I hope to see some, if not all, of you in Tolka park for the next league game."
very good. 30 mins each so!Quote:

Which would be huge for the UEFA Rankings.
Great to see the pubs (or at least the one I was in) showing Shels on two screens and not showing United! :D
My bro (librarian at UCD btw ;) ) has no real interest in football, particularly Irish football, but even he was talking about this game. Said that on his way home tonight, every takeaway/pub/establishment with a TV was showing the Shels game.Quote:

I think that Shels just might conceivably do it :eek:
With Manuel Pablo and Romero presumably pushing on, Cahill and Byrne/Ndo might be able to get around the back of Depor, and both are dangerous in that situation. Even if Depor retain their cautious approach, a 0-0 draw still puts Shels within a penalty shoot-out of the CL.
BTW, something just occurred to me. If (IF) Shels get through, where would they play their games? Renting Lansdowne for three further games would surely be logistically impossible and/or ruinously expensive.
If you gave 100/1 that they do overturn Depor that means if I put £1 and Shels won then I get £100 back. Put the "Don't" in and its the opposite. ;)Quote:

Can I stick twenty on that one please.Quote:

i think they could be made pay for that.i feel in "my waters" a 1-1 draw
in spain :eek: .
depor looked very rusty and shels were on top of their game so there is still hope for shels :)
as "the giller" said on the radio "this tie is far from over"
Well done to Shelbourne, good result last night ......is it ok for a Celitc supporter to congratulate a team from a different league ?....lol
Why? If they made money on tonight, which they must have, why would it be ruinously expensive? Logistically it wouldn't be a problem at all really - mid week so no clashes with any rugby....Quote:

One word on the officials, thought they gave Depor a lot of soft free's, but fair play for not falling for the Depor play acting second half.
If, and it's a big if, Depor play as poor in the second leg, Shels have the chance to nick it. Can't see it though.
It was important for them to keep the tie alive, to garantee a gate in the second leg ;)Quote:

How can for instance Cork fans cheer them on last night but then on Saturday shout against them

no idea myself but i did spy a shamrock flag and a bray flag in the east stand
Ole Ole Ole
Go figure
Fitzpatrick was septic
shels failure to win last nite proves once and for all that irish league teams are crap ;)
Hope you were messing! if not would you go away and FCUK OFF! what are you smoking? Shur they're only champions league semi-finalists with a far superior squad and better training facilities, better stadium etc need i say anymore :rolleyes: . THE REASON DEPOR PLAYED MEDIOCRE WAS BECAUSE SHELBOURNE PLAYED AMAZINGLY AND WERE UNLUCKY NOT TO SCORE! saying that as a CCFC fan really hurt :eek: !!!!!!!Quote:

Luque very dangerous in 1st half & will be real threat with wider pitch in La Coruna. Valeron made to look like mug & almost nothing from him.
Moment of the match of Hoolahan skinning midfielder in first half & jersey dragged so yellow card to spanaird.
Always funny to be at game surrounded by part-time football supporters or people who barely ever seen a game live. ;)
Hopefully 1-0 or 0-0 & then penalty win for Depotivo in 2 weeks time cos group stages really would mean end of competitive eL for next 3 years at least.
who are they is rightQuote:

Yeah, I found that quite amusing aswell. I was in the upper east stand and there were very few hardcore Shels fans around there, a few of them didn't seem to know what to do and seemed quite distressed at the lack of an action replay! Thought it was hilarious to see two blokes in Liverpool jerseys a few rows in front of me trying to join in the Shels chants and making a complete mess of it! :DQuote:

If the players needed any motivation to beat Shels on Saturday and go on to win the league, bringing them to last nights game would have got them really fired up and showed them that this time next year it could be the Rebel Army in the Champions league.
Hoolahan was motm, Ndo was class when he came on but Fitzpatrick was shocking. We could take Shels on Saturday but it ain't going to be easy. I'd say a big TV audience is assured for the clash of Ireland's two Euro giants.
btw, I felt guilty buying a programme last night.... an extra 4 quid for Ollie Byrne's pockets. :(
Maybe you can sell it to a collector & cleanse yourself at the same time.Quote:
