Ah, that's interesting - hadn't seen that.
Has the look of a club whose money has run out.

Soligorsk beat Derry 6-1 on aggregate
Agree I don't see this being an Aberystwyth style result, but if Riteriai have run out of cash and that explains why they suddenly have 1 win from 16 in the league, then it does change things in Derry's favour. Still would never "expect" an LoI win in Europe though!
Yeah I don’t see it being an Aberystwyth style walkover myself either but Derry should defo be winning this. It’s not that I see the Lithuanian league as weak (far from it) it’s the fact that Riteriai are in horrendous form and rock bottom of it. If Derry were up against someone like Zalgiris then I wouldn’t be optimistic at all of them going through
Best of luck to Derry tonight - the league does need a win in Europe! ... and soon!
Trying to log on the DCFC website for the game... looks like it’s crashed... not good start
Any stream? I can't login to the Derry stream or even make a payment.
I get a connection timeout
Tis working fine for me lads, took a solid minute to get onto the page initially however.
This is a direct link to the Derry City stream, bypasses their slow website: https://page.inplayer.com/DerryCityFC/
Got it working eventually.
1-0 Derry. Good start!
Lovely
Super stuff, these one off games certainly make every goal vital...
great start,
Has the commentator mentioned a vital away goal yet?
Very comfortable up to this point, they're a fairly poor team.
Poor goal to give away by the sounds of it.
Didn't see that coming, back to square one so!
Actually, I mocked away goals before - but a 1-1 draw means extra time and penalties here I presume?
Every time you post, they score :eek:
Would ya shut up! :)
2-1 down now
Awful
No wonder there’s a Quarantine in Lithuania if they’re sponsored by Ecoli
A bit of composure in the last 3rd and they should get chances to win it. These don't look much worse than the clunge team who beat dundalk but Derry are making a better fist of it anyway.
3-2 Riteriai
This would be a really tough one to take Riteriai have offered next to nothing.
Not quite the LSL Div 2 effort that Dundalk put in, but still disappointing. Derry despite having most of the ball in extra time, just coldn't find a moment of quality after going 3-2 behind, which is a shame as they finished the regular 90 on top. Would have fancied them to turn it around in the second leg, in a normal world. Beaten by a team most Lithuanians have never heard of.
So that's two seeded clubs knocked out already? lovely.
Dundalk was seeded but Derry wasn't seeded I don't think, rovers are and bohs are not.
2-2 away would be a good result in a 2 legged affair. However, looking at that match as a whole they blew it.
Hope Conor is okay.
Bad defending for the 3 goals.
For the coefficient nerds btw, it looks like the (unplayed) second leg is deemed to have been a draw. I think games scratched due to covid are given as a draw and a loss, but not entirely sure on that.
Blew it to say the least. Couldn’t ask for a handier European tie than that crowd. For 10 mins after first goal we all thought could be a fair few.
Devine to blame for first two. The team easing off and making basic basic mistakes as is becoming all too common. That is a managerial issue. Cherrie pathetic for the extra time winner. Type of misjudgement he has always made.
Pathetic to be beat by that crowd who were a very poor team. Half mil down the drain, simple as that.
Very dissapointing, chances missed.
U get one chance a year at this u have to be ready.
Feel sorry for Derry, I've had plenty of those if onlys.
On the very very rare times I actually want Derry to do well they fail horribly... This was a dreadful result
