Pats 1-2 Zalgiris FT

[geysir]

That was careless of Pats to throw away the tie, after much of the hard work was done with a very good away performance. On the other hand, Drogheda were certainly not weighed down by expectations I suppose the best that can be said is that they were in with a chance until injury time in the 2nd leg.

As predicted, 3/3 of the Iceland teams through to the 2nd round, but hey, let's not rub it in at this sensitive time.

[nigel-harps1954]

A bad night for Irish football it has to be said.

[Charlie Darwin]

Terrible result for Pats after doing all the hard work in Lithuania.

All be it against Northern & Faroes opposition in 2 of the ties, I'd have fancied similar results for any LOI teams drawn against those 2 teams. I'll give you the Finnish result, which was impressive.

But a fantastic result for Sean South.

[Sean South]

How's that then?

[gufcfan]

So Pats fans, how weird was it sweating your balls off at a Europa League match in Richemond, in the evening.

[DannyInvincible]

Sounds like Drogs gave it a good effort but for Pat's to throw their tie away is bitterly disappointing.

[dong]

How's that then?

Because you're not emptying your heart in disappointment about coefficients and the state of Irish football

[Mad Moose]

Thoroughly enjoying the commentary on Pats ustream channel. I feel like shouting at them at times to concentrate more on the match however.

I always enjoy that commentary too. It never fails to make me smile and like you Nigel often think 'would ya tell us where play is at in the game'.

For what? Flares?

[Dalymountrower]

It was like a home game for the Lithuanians, they must have outnumbered the Pats fans by three to one, the Pats support didnt get going until Killers peno.
Disappointing night, naieve tactics from Buckley.

ha ha, seriously ??? two sections of the stand and a third of the shed ? ridiculous !!

also, naieve tactics ? explain that one and what tactics you would have gone with ??

a few people seem like they are delighted to stick the boot in

[Ezeikial]

Mixed feelings about Pats going out

Positives
They don't earn an extra bundle of cash from more Euro rounds to bolster their squad for next season

Negatives
They don't have the demands of extra games that go with Euro progression

Couldn't Care less......
Coefficients, league profile blah blah

In short, it increases their chances of league success this season, but not for future seasons

[paul_oshea]

I think Pats sounded too confident going into the game, I think they thought they had done all the hard work in Lithuainia and that Zalgiris hadn't anything more to offer. They were caught with their pants down. Another learning experience.

[Gather round]

First year since around 2002 I think that no Irish side will progress through even one round

Ahem...

[Sean South]

For what? Flares?

Over crowding. A few hundred standing on the terrace beside the shed.
