Shamrock Rovers made up for their rivals poor showing.
Fingal did well enough for their first time.
Dundalk's small squad caught up with them.

In co-efficient terms Dundalk and Rovers got the same

Were there 3 teams playing in europe?!

I jest, I jest...

In terms of the co-efficient it was pretty bad. I think Fingals performance against madeira and Rovers against bnei yehuda/juventus were very positive, even if the score did go the right way in some of them.

rubbish.

The point being that Moldovans are refugees.....?

The point being he's a Pats fan and he used the term other fans use to slag us off over the result

I missed having our resident drama queen around! I assume you're around long enough to remember that was the chant at Pats?

Worst year since Ten Nil to the Refugees.

In fairness if there's ever a worse year than Zimbru Chisinau from Moldova winning 10-0 against the dominant side of that age in the LOI, very few of us will be alive to see it...

In fact I'd hazard a safe guess that there's more chance of a game between Sporting Fingal and Salthill Devon filling Lansdowne Road..

[pineapple stu]

I'd seriously reckon TNS beating Bohs - the dominant side of this era - rivals it. I don't think you'll see teams from Wales in the UEFA Cup group stages in the next few years; Sherriff 9different side, I know) just qualified for the second year in a row.

Anyways, Bohs gave me a good belly-laugh, Rovers did well - about time we got a really big club in the draws; I think some of the sides since the Depor game had chances of much bigger clubs than they ended up drawing - Dundalk did what was really expected of them, even if they did it in about the worst possible way and in the cold light of day, I was more happy than sad about Fingal's results.

On the subject of Irish clubs, the nordy clubs did well too; Portadown and Climville both getting through a round - shame about who they drew in the next round though - while Linfield and Glens got a decent and merely ok draw. Maybe they'll start to take it a bit more seriously now?

[Straightstory]

Rovers - good.
Fingal - solid.
Bohs - embarrassing
Dundalk - poor
I see TNS lost 6-1 to Anderlecht on aggregate, so actually, despite what some people have said, they're not that great.
Maritimo beat Bangor 10-2 (or was it 3?) on aggregate. Good show by Fingal - and they played the right way too. Well suited to European football.

In my time supporting the LOI, the 4 biggest embaressments were Rovers losing 7-0 in the first leg to the POlish side, Pats losing 10-0 on Agg to the Zimbru, SHels being knocked out by Hibs of Malta and Bohs being hammered in Wales this year.

For me, what makes Bohs worse than the others is that they were full time. Rovers and Pats were all part time. Shels had a couple of full timers.

BTW that Zimbru team were terrific. They won in the next round too, before losing to PSV 2-0 away after drawing at home. They also got a draw at home to Spurs in the UEFA cup (having transferred over). Obviously 10-0 was embaressing. Still is. But people way, way underestimate that Zimbru team

Shels was embaressing as they should've easily progressed and it was on live TV. ROvers could've lost any score if the POlish wanted it but none go near the level of Bohs IMO

Luckily the only people who remember these defeats are LOI geeks like us. No one outside the LOI cares enough to remember.

[Straightstory]

I was at the Shels game. They did everything but score and the Maltese keeper was outstanding. By contrast, Bohs went out with a whimper.

Well that makes it ok then.....
