That is a truely amazing result!

Despite all my reservations about the negative ramifications should Bohemains progress, I can only applaud the Bohs players and manager (Christ, that hurt!) for an outstanding result.

You deserve all the plaudits possible.

Great result. I didn't think they'd do it, fair play.

Feeling your pain.

its nights like these that make supporting my local team in favour of an english team so worthwhile.

Ive had a couple of drinks and made myself some fajitas and the feeling just keeps getting better and better.

11 heroes.

Bohs played as they've been playing away from home all season. I've actually backed against them for playing negatively away from home domestically (allowing weaker opposition too much of the ball) but it looks like it's well suited for playing in Europe. Now they just have to go out and play their game in Dalymount. They're more than good enough to win it.

i still have some reservations, with last years match against riga still in the memory.

the swedish keeper for salzburg looked dodgy so hopefully this can be capitalised on next week. they need to show conviction and belieft next week in order to make it through. they must believe in themselves after containing salzburg away from home. it must be difficult for them when it comes to how to dealing with the match next week. a away goal and a draw as well as being the underdog would probably lead to a more defensive minded approach but i think they need to just play their own game, not all out attack but don't give salzburg any more respect than they deserve.

From what i have been able to find, there are 8 channels in Latvia. And none are set to show the game.

That one takes the biscuit for funniest LOI European debacle ahead of the Zimbru and Carmarthen games. I think it's because of Trevor Molloy, landing at Tolka Park just long enough to screw up Shels' season by helping what would have been the winning goal over the line from an offside position.

Weather latest:

Pitch should be a bit wet but playable. But the changing rooms and parts of the stand are flooded, as is some of the areas in and around the stadium, so could still be off due to health and safety.
