Really don't like this habit on the forum as painting everything as the best or the worst with no middle ground

Greatest post in the history of the internet.

Delighted Fingal lost, pity about Shams getting the draw

Good effort by our lads tonight. Pity about conceding the last minute winner. Ah well. I would have taken that before the match.

Congrats to Rovers for getting back level. Hard luck to Dundalk fans. Hopefully yous still come out in force for the home game and get a positive result on the night.

Why do LOI fans have to be so negative towards other clubs.

Completely agree. 3-2 defeat away in the first leg to opposition from a far better league is a decent result in Europe. It gives you every chance of achieving a win at home and going through. Considering Dundalk were hammered 6-0 Fingal achieved a good result. Well done to them.

Well done to Fingal and Rovers. Those results set you up nicely for the second legs. Pity about our result but hopefully we can at least get a draw in the return leg to add something to the national co-efficient. Getting through one round was always the aim for us. I can't say I'm that surprised by our result tonight but it still hurts as hell to lose 6-0. Was shocked at myself when a Rovers goal put a bit of a smile on my face at the end of the evening!

Everybody scores this year.
Good result from Shamrock Rovers and Sporting Fingal. Dundalk can still get something from their fourth game in Europe this year.

Next fixture: Champions League Draw 12:00 (11:00 am Irish Time)
Europa League 13:30 CET (12:30 Irish Time)
Friday 16th July

I thought fans supported football clubs rather than leagues?

I might be crazy when I say this but I for one hate to see rival clubs and clubs I hate winning any match, who'da thunk that!

we've slipped two places to 31st in the uefa cofficient ranking after tonight's matches.

however we only need a draw to move up one again and a win will put us back where we were before tonight.

The day I take joy in a league of Ireland team getting hammered in Europe is the day I give up on following football.

Leaves us where we are (down a place), no? Allowing for whatever the countries around us do.

**DaveyPats** · 15/07/2010, 9:39 PM

Many Dundalk fans in Sofia?

Any Fingal fans in Portugal?

Leave us with 0.000 points for the night every coefficient points keeps us up high on the coefficient table giving us seeding and starts of off further in the 2 European competitions.
We would need maybe 1.000 points to stay where we are. Its complicated.

Why should they be positive about them?

Because maybe next season it'll be their club in Europe and good results this season might mean their club gets to skip a round. It's fairly simple stuff really but I fully understand that some people just can't be happy for their rivals.

I can see why people would be reluctant to voice support for other teams but it is true what one poster said about a rising tide. It does the dignity of the league good when teams do well in Europe, as Bohs, Pat's and Drogs have in recent years. I just like to see the teams do well - gives you a little bit of pride even when your own team hasn't done so well.
