    sad to see some negatie comments

    Any result for any LOI team away from is great be it against a team from Lux , Andorra , England Scot or where-ever.
    M'on the lillywhites.

    the object of playing europe is to get to the next round ,
    we have 3 away goals , a home tie next week....I think we are in pretty decent shape(barring a disaster),
    Roll on next week

  3. Thanks From:

    Burns was out aswell, the defence just don't seem to play well when he's not there and Melligan is 99% leaving the club.

    Conceding 3 against a Luxembourg team isn't great but as long as Dundalk get through, it's job done and they should manage that without much difficulty.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    With the confidence of some on here that Dundalk would have walked tonights game then it could be seen as a slip by Dundalk. The truth is that they were playing a team they knew little about and still came away with 3 away goals. Its still game on for both sides but it will be easier on Dundalk to get a result at home and i see them going through easy enough next week. ( It is next week ye? ).

    Is it a good thing that people are disappointed with an LOI side getting a draw away from Home ?

    Teams from Ireland have always struggled away from home, despite 2/3 very good performances over the years. It seems some people set the standard of LOI teams when they perform beyond their means on one-off occassions and I think it is unfair to expect very game to be perfect.

    Thats mainly why I'm so dissapointed with tonights result. We've seen over the years how difficult it is to get results away from home and tonight Dundalk had an away win and progression to the next round in their grasp and they let it slip. Ok they are still in control of the tie but its a very tentative advantage.

    The result is symptomatic of our poor current form. Disappointing but far from a disaster. The only consideration has to be getting through the round, if we don't it will be extremely disappointing. A pity not to pick up an extra fraction of a coefficient point too.

    It's only the fifth time Dundalk have avoided defeat in the away leg in 21 games in Europe.

    In fairness, as much as this game isn't a sad day for the league or an embarrassment as some have made out, it's hardly comparable to a draw away to an English side either. You can't equate a draw away to a side from the worst league in Europe to one from the best side in Europe (according to the UEFA rankings).

    It is a bad result, but that's all it is. Dundalk are still favourites to go through. Move on from there.

    Given the usual comments from a few posters on here I'd say our 'european campaign' is going pretty well this year, 2 defeats away from home, thank you.

    You seemed to be replying to calls for perspective by saying, oh the other Luxembourg team got beaten 6-1. My point was the team that beat them would still be expected to beat bohs, should they meet. So yours is hardly a fair comparison, if one exists.

    Dundalk should reasonably be expected to win a tie against opposition from Luxembourg.

    Randers, no matter where they finished in their league, should expect to win both legs.

    I don't think there're many countries LOI teams should have high expectations of winning both legs. They may well fancy their chances

    Rubbish, got 3 away goals in first game in Europe comps for years. Dundalk should do the business in the home leg. No problem

They could have saved themselves a lot of hassle and perhaps have rested some key players in the latter stages of the game next week by winning tonight and lets face it Dundalk need to take advantage of any chance to use their squad as it doesn't have the same strength in depth of others. I didn't see one second tonight but the fact the (2) Luxembourg side scored three goals in under 15 minutes suggests they could cause Dundalk problems.
    (1) an early goal by Dundalk will almost certainly finish the tie. With three away goals the risk of an away goals loss is very unlikely.
    (2) bad for Dundalk to lose a two goal lead but good to come from behind so late in the game.

    Overall Dundalk still in pole position to progress AFTER the away leg - a good result for any LOI team.

    I don't think it's a bad result. A few posters on here were saying before the game that a score draw would do nicely, and that's what Dundalk got.

    Certainlt, it's disappointing not to get the away win from a position of 2-0 up, but the second leg will see Dundalk only needing a draw against a team they seem to have been better than for much of the game.

    Overall, nothing to be ahamed about.

    What are you basing that on? Because the commentary I was listening to(the Dundalk one), Dundalk were under pressure for a lot of the game and Grevenmacher created a lot more chances than Dundalk. Sounds like they were lucky to get the draw.

    I still think they'll go through though, winning handy enough at home.

    I could be wrong, but I think a team from Luxembourg (Kaerjeng) beat Lillestrom over two legs recently. A 3-3 draw in Luxembourg is not a bad result at all for Dundalk, if you take that into consideration.

    Basically it means that if Dundalk get an early goal at home the game's all but over.

    They did, yeah, in 2008. Differdang won a first-leg game against Rijeka last year too. Between those two, there were eight consecutive double-leg defeats. Luxembourg sides in Europe here.

    I was only basing it on the fact that they went 2-0 up to be honest.

    10 years ago we were hoping that one of our euro representatives could possibly do well in their tie & in a good year get through one round.

    Now, we have 3 teams starting in the second rounds of their competitions (one seeded) & the 4th are seeded in the 1st round. We expect teams to progress & are complaining when Dundalk get a good score draw result away from home.

    We have progressed


    Or, to put it another way, the league has progressed, but our national moaning attitude hasn't.
