LOI in Europe Quiz

I'll add to this,

Which team has lost ALL their European games EXCEPT for the one they did NOT score in?

UCD? 0-0 V everton 84-85

[pineapple stu]

I thought that too, but the question implies that the team scored in the game(s) they lost. And also, we drew 3-3 and 0-0 against Velbzahd Kyustendil in 2000 in the InterToto.

Thought Home Farm too, but checking it shows they drew 1-1 and lost 6-0, which is no good.

Dundalk weren't the first side in the Europa league

UCD? 0-0 V everton 84-85

UCD played 2 European games in the 90's drawing both of them against a Bulgarian side too, but good shout. Wrong however.

[pineapple stu]

I think we have 3 at this stage (UCD v Everton, Waterford v Kiev, Rovers v Bayern, Drogheda v Spurs).

I thought it might have been us, but our game against Trabzonspor was a score draw. While I was looking that up, google thought it would be hilarious to suggest I watch this video:

Google, I am not impressed!

Anyone?

[Dodge]

Pats and Shels both played in Britain on the same night in 1998 (Shels at home to Rongers in Birkinhead)

In 63/64 2 Irish clubs drew Spanish opposition bu the games in Spain were 5 days apart. That’s the closest AFAIK

[Dodge]

Which team has lost ALL their European games EXCEPT for the one they did NOT score in?

I don't think there is one like this. Harps' only draw in 0-0 but they have lost games without scoring

[bluemovie]

10) How many ties have been won by Irish sides in Europe? 50 – including the three this year

As a matter of interest, how many of those 50 have been since the switch to summer soccer? Must be about 20?

[Dodge]

28 since 2003

1999 was the last year without an irish side winning a tie
