League of Ireland in Europe 2014

Drive105 saying James McClean in the middle of the Derry crowd joining in the singing.

Him and Danny Lafferty made it down just in time for the second half. Joining in with the European dance and le Grek, ha. Fair play!

[pineapple stu]

4-0 Derry
2-0 Dundalk
Would still like a second in Sligo

[Terry]

2 team through at this stage, Sligo could do with killing their game off asap.

[pineapple stu]

Bloody hell. Penalty Derry.

Imagine if Derry were any good.

[pineapple stu]

5-0 Derry

Banga down to ten men

All looking amazingly good.

[DannyInvincible]

Patterson scores a penalty to get his hat-trick and makes it 5-0 to Derry.

[pineapple stu]

Banga only have four subs for some reason.

Apparently LoI teams have never had three ties on the same night and won them all, or kept a clean sheet in all, or (as TheBoss noted earlier) won through in them all.

[pineapple stu]

2-0 Sligo!

All over there. 3-0 Dundalk too. Amazing night.

[DannyInvincible]

Sligo score another. And Dundalk. It's raining goals.

[Stuttgart88]

Them's the ones.

(Fram, not Farm - presume that's a mobile phone typo!

yep, it was auto correct

[ger121]

2nd for Sligo. It's like the good old days tonight!

[DannyInvincible]

5-0 is the biggest ever away win for a LOI team in Europe.

[pineapple stu]

So Rosenborg, Shakhtar Soligorsk and Hajduk Split. Does the law of averages call for one team to win through?

Sligo should have no chance. Would have thought Derry's opposition is easier than Dundalk's, but then Dundalk are the form team.

Don't know if these results mean LoI teams are more likely to be seeded next season (depending on which teams get through of course)

Edit - sure two of the teams were seeded this season. Duh...

[pineapple stu]

3-0 Sligo.

Dundalk talking about their record win, against the same Fram as before.

11-0 on aggregate tonight for the LoI.

Someone confirm this for me: with the Derry result, if things stay the same for Sligo and Dundalk, do we have a higher co-officient already this year than three of the last four years? (1.375, compared to 0.250 last year, 1.000 the year before, less than the 1.500 the year before that, 1.000 the year before that again.)

That'd be right, yep

3-0 Sligo.

Dundalk talking about their record win, against the same Fram as before.

11-0 on aggregate tonight for the LoI.

17-0 overall. This is fantastic.

[pineapple stu]

18-0 now.

4-0 Sligo

As were Linfield.

Amazing result for the Hatchetmen- from 3-9 to 5-2 in a year,admittedly Rosenborg were a bit better than Ekranas
