That seems to be the annual phrase when it comes to Europe for LoI clubs.

Guard of honour for the Pat's players as they were going off the pitch.

Getting points for the co-efficient

And generally not getting humped at home like some 'big' british team

Yeah, its a disgrace that we aren't making any progress over the last decade.

We should be at least getting to the League stages, what with the domestic league being in such great shape......

Its Steau Bucharest ffs.

Did you throw your TV through the window in digust when Derval O'Rourke only came 4th last night?

**kingdomkerry** · 20/08/2009, 7:53 PM

The break through is coming

even though i agree with your point, is that not a bit melodramatic...?

LoI did very well this year all in all. Progress is all we can ask for given the state of our league.

Hard luck Pats but Stena are a good team. No shame in that result.

**Boo_Boy** · 20/08/2009, 7:57 PM

I don't think Kildare_Lad meant it like that lads.

You've misread me!

I think we're punching above our weight in Europe.

no, no, i get ya. And agree.

I just thought that your response to the kildare fella was a bit harsh!!

**elroy** · 20/08/2009, 8:09 PM

This seems to be the level for LOI teams at the moment. Although no shame in losing to Steaua, they looked a very good side and are always in european competitions at the turn of the year. The key is to be consistently hitting this level for a few years and hopefully a breakthrough will come. Pats and Drogs werent a million miles off last year.

**irishultra** · 20/08/2009, 8:51 PM

in a way, I think Bohs were closer than any team has ever been despite going out really early, when you see Ventiplis(sp?) from Latvia assured of Europa Group stages despite being beaten 3-0 at home by Zurich, it really could have been us.
