2-0 still leaves it somewhat interesting. Like if Pat's can get an early goal, you never know.
**** sake, he should have controlled that and he would have been in.

Tie is over if Pats don't get an away goal.

why is this man paid as a profesional footballer.
all over now.
Coleman for Ireland
Only caught the last 40 minutes or so but was reminded of Ireland playing a side like Germany or Holland - bags of effort and the odd half-chance but lacking in the quality up front to break through.
All credit to them however, they seemed to be able to rattle Hertha. Living in England and not having Sky its practically impossible to see LOI football but was impressed with the individual ability of several players. Tie all over unless St Pats get an early goal and have the RDS absolutely rocking for 90 minutes.
Think his wages are paid by the government's budget allocation to the equastrian sector. Couldn't be sure though.
Fair enough result. 1-0 or 2-1 would not have flattered Pats. Age old problem of Irish team sin Europe than don;t have 11 quality players so carrying a few passengers. The tie is over as Berlin have the clean sheet at home & know that can attack away from home with the knowledge than one away goal gets them into the next round.
The flags & mascot are celebrating. Any one know what the attendance was?
8000 or so.
Were the Pats lads wearing the wrong studs? Loads of players kept slipping. 2-0 isn't the end of the world, but I was disappointed that Pats never really tested the keeper; and they seemed to never actually want to put in a cross.
Yes, thats Pats out but lets get out to support these players in the 2nd leg at the RDS. These players deserve a big crowd and an even bigger atmosphere in the 2nd leg.

Unlucky St. Pat's. From what I saw they seemed to playing alright. Pity about that 2nd goal. Hopefuly yee can do it at home.
More than once by the sounds of it, someone get that man a swear-jar.did McDonnell just scream "F*** off" at one of his players?
"We didn't underestimate them. They were just a lot better than we thought."
Tie over. Pats can now concentrate on the FAI Cup and finishing second in the league. Frustrating game as Pats could easily have nicked one as easily as the germans did.
2-1 would have been a better reflection on the game imo
I thought that too. Was reminded of lots of Ireland away games in the 70's/ 80s v the likes of France. We did well I thought, remember the German league is still quite a level above the LOI. Passed the ball well at times, and it wasn't 90 minutes under the cosh by any means. We just lacked the extra bit of quality up front to really create something. Both goals were a bit unlucky I thought, and 1-0 might have been a fairer result. Can't see us doing it at the RDS, but hope we have a real good go at them.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Good performance and a lot better effort than what Derry put up against the French side PSG. Herta are a better team then PSG having an ex Liverpool like Andriy Voronin so playing against the likes of him they can hold their heads up igh.
Voronin didnt really threaten except for puting 1 shot well wide and setting up the second goal.
Coleman for Ireland
We do have eyes. He was saying that the team have good players like Voronin, not that he had a good game.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Pats put up a decent show, but the Germans totally ran the show in the second half and coulda scored more ... but the tie is over ... if the Germans score once in the RDS which Id expect them probably to do then Pats will need to score 4 to win the tie and theyll never do that against a bunch of well drilled germans.
bhs
At final whistle that is exactly what i said....but if Hertha come to Dublin thinking "Job done" they may be in for shock. job only half done and if Pats can at them early the whole tie changes. Yes if they get away goal it over but Pats need to get in their faces right away and make it a war.
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional
You're not supposed to mention that!
yeah way better just cause they have a clown who tried to play for Liverpool.
They can try and concentrate, but we're really focused on both and intend on doing the business in the Setanta too
