If it's pedantry you're after, the report didn't mention anything about being victorious in the game.

Well done Pats. Wouldn't say too many on here expected that. Hope you get the draw you deserve tomorrow. Now for the Candystripes.....

No way, are you?

What a result. Well done to Pats.

**cheifo** · 06/08/2009, 4:35 PM

Absolutley fantastic. Well done Pats.

Media please do your job, shut up about the EPL and give this the airtime and column inches it deserves.

By not specifying that it was an away goals aggregate win, indirectly infers that they were on about the game being played today. They didnt claim a famous victory, well they did at home, what they claimed was an away goals aggregate win i.e. they won on away goals. Did they "victory on away goals?!"

Cheers.

I thought last year Pats could only have been drawn against one of five teams? Has it changed this year?

**pineapple stu** · 06/08/2009, 4:39 PM

Should be the same, but those five teams won't be drawn until everyone's in the next round. Obviously Pat's are the first to go through from this round (everyone else either enters at this stage or has lost in the CL). Won't know the five (assuming it happens that way) till 11am tomorrow or so; that post was just a taster.

**longfordjames** · 06/08/2009, 4:40 PM

So they could get a CL team?

**pineapple stu** · 06/08/2009, 4:41 PM

Yup..

Someone like Shels.

**carrickharp** · 06/08/2009, 4:48 PM

Well done Pats great result.

Will the second stand be done? Otherwise its only 3k or so tickets...

**Tony Soprano** · 06/08/2009, 4:51 PM

I think this is the most impressive win ever by an irish side over two legs aberdeen, belenenses (1960s), hajduk split - beats all of these am i forgetting anyone else ?

**SMorgan** · 06/08/2009, 4:52 PM

It would be great if Derry could do it this evening.

It will mean that both St. Pats and Derry would have done the league proud this season in Europe.

but how frustrating if both had to play the play off matches in stadiums limited to 3k maybe both can play in limerick
