Did not see enough to comment too much but Hertha did not impress.
Don't know how new system affects but under the old system the 1 ranking club point would probably ensure Pats seeded in 1st qualifying round for 5 years.
Berlin were there for the taking, unfortunately Pat's couldn't take them, terrible finishing really cost them.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

pat's were incredibly lucky over 2 legs. a better left back and a proper finisher and they could have progressed. even roddy can't deny the obvious progress the league has made in the last 5 years. will fahey be playing in the bundesliga next year?

Well done Pats. Great performance but ye really have to take those chances that came yer way. If ye got one I think ye would have got another.
Did everything possible but score, but thats is what it is about. They really needed a box striker in there to move the centre backs around, making space for midfield runners to enter the box and they lacked crossing the ball also, but what they did, they did very well.
Pats could have easily gone through this evening.
Dempsey could/should have had 2 (header straight at keeper and shot off post)
Murphy should have done better with his 2 attempts.
Fahey could have had one.
Lynch scuffed a decent opportunity.
All in all though they gave a good account of themselves. Dempsey and Fahey controlled the game with Guy and Kirby playing well out wide. Rogers actually done well and put in an excellent cross that, only for Siminic' touch, Fitzpatrick had a free header on goal.
Now, lets hope they are fooked and we can get a point or 3 out of them on Friday
Just back in the car after the game. F*ckin robbed.
Gutted No doubt they deserved to win.
Simply just a real pity. Have to wait another year now.
Great atmosphere.
Thought Pats were excellent - Fahey in particular immense - would not be surprised if the germans try and sign him
DB Cooper is alive !
Rubbish refereeing and poor finishing cost Pats a place in the Group stages. Same old hard luck story Im afraid.
Will we ever get to the promised land?

Having lived out of Ireland the last year I'd be out of the loop entirely bit for fantastic RTE Radio coverage and the dulcet tones of the legendary Eoin Hand. Sadly I didn't get to see the game online so relied on the old faithful radio online. Now I consider Eoin Hand a mellow devil, he's a great and experienced voice on the Irish game and I've never really known Eoin to get heated but I'm not sure if anybody else heard the exchanges between Eoin Hand and Eamon Collins. I have to say I enjoyed it. In a nutshell Eamon Collins did underestimate the St Pats performance by commenting that Hertha Berlin are not a good side. Eoin wasn't having that and there was a nice heated exchange of words on what each had to say.
Entertaining radio as ever.
Hes an incredible player. He has more class than the whole Irish international team put together.Originally Posted by Angus

well done pats - done the league proud. was watching (a bit) and listening (mostly) to the game. Should have put them away but i feel that success is just around the corner for irish teams.
And if/when it happens i hope everyone in this forum will say i told you so to the really "soccer mad" fans in this country.
Sorry about the (short) rant. Well done Pats.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
heard it HB - and loved it!!

It definetely was heated and Eoin's been a bit flustered. Not quite sure what he was talking about there but came out with a very choice word in describing certain people in talking about the state of the game. 'Bull****ters' was his language of choice. What a man hi.
I think we can all be proud! Saints played a brilliant second half. Only the goal lacked. Pats had deserve the win and was so much better than Hertha BSC. It was a great performance with a lot of passion and figthing spirit. I think this was good advertising for irish soccer.
Fahey was fantastic again! He showed that he is a player on a high level. I had a lot of fun to watch him today and also befor two weeks in Berlin.
Thank you St. Pats for the great footballgames in europe this year.This were unbelievable moments and a big success to beat Elfsborg and play two good games against Hertha BSC!
yeah it was along the lines of...
and im sick of the bullshi*tters in... ah sorry, i shouldnt have said that word... but i am, im sick of them!" class.

I can see it happening within 2-3 years, I would confident of that.
how annoying seeing dunphy rattle on about manchester united on rte now!!!!
well done pat's...such an improvement on those shels matches in 2004(no disrespect) when they could hardly keep the ball against teams like Lille. Pat's owened Hertha Berlin, and looked better all over.

On another night Pats,would have scored 3 or 4,shows again that Irish football is better than,what the Oirish ole fans think.Arseholes,
Also i think we LOI football fans underestimate how good are league is,anytime we do well people always go its because they other team were crap,its because we were good simple as.

Overall, Berlin showed what they are, a poor side, clinging onto a 0-0 draw for dear life to a LOI side. Pats were the better side over the two legs, and with a bit of luck would have won the tie, as Drogheda would have last month.
Bar Cork, a very good year for our teams in Europe, and we got another bit of a coefficient point tonight, following Pats' result.
