I know my foot.ie ...

Clarke has to do better.

[Colbert Report]

Forgive my ignorance, but are St. Pat's full-time professionals?

[BonnieShels]

Just back to the apt and saw that they had equalised. BAWLLS!

Away goal will be crucial.

[Real ale Madrid]

Bloody Brilliant result. Well done Pats- ye can do this next week now.

[Charlie Darwin]

Most of them would be.

I blame Setanta for the Legia goal - on 89 they were blathering about how 1-1 would be fine...

[paul_oshea]

OK thats it, fahey clearly very disappointed.

Warsaw were lacking that cutting edge, i hope that's down to just inability rather than match practice. Still they cant do a whole lot in a week.

Pats in a smaller pitch at "home" might not suit them as well from an attacking sense but defensively should help. Hopefully tallaght is packed for the return.

I told a few lads who would never watch LOI to turn it on, watched the ****tier bits with pats playing kick and hope but hopefully they saw some good bits.

I see less and less of the stupid mistakes happening that you saw 5 6 7 years ago. Bar not clearing the ball and caught in feet pats made no mistakes, no brain farts or head rushes or lack of concentration. very well done.

[nigel-harps1954]

A fantastic result for them.

[DannyInvincible]

Really disappointing to have thrown a victory away having had so many great chances. Still, a 0-0 draw in Tallaght will see Pat's through. Legia were shambolic at the back at times and gave Pat's a lot of space. Pat's looked very tired towards the end. Thought Fahey was terrific though.

[Sheridan]

Only saw the second half, but Pat's must have been amazing in the first, because bar defending their eighteen-yard line well, they were pretty poor. It was quintessential clueless LOI-on-tour stuff, far too many touches in the defensive third, far too many first-time flicks in the attacking third. Still, terrific result.

[Stuttgart88]

Well done Pats. Watched second half on Danny's stream. Legia only had two shots on target all game I think.

They looked very composed at times and trusted their footballing ability. Nice to see.

[legendz]

Shame they tired but was going to be hard to maintain it. Pat's once again have excelled when representing themselves, our league and country in Europe.

[Ezeikial]

Whose the fastest player in the LOI?

Kenny Browne -by a country mile

[BonnieShels]

Problem being they took one of them. I fear a 2-0 to Legia next time out given they now have an idea and will be less complacent.

Excellent results for Pats, more than anyone could have hoped for. They are well in contention going into the 2nd leg. It'd be fantastic if they finished the job. However, what is it with Irish teams (club and international) away from home on the verge of achieving significant victories, late equalisers seem almost inevitable.

Anyway good start to the week, best of luck to Sligo, Derry and Dundalk tomorrow. Its a major step up on the first round but lets hope all 3 can give themselves a chance ahead of the 2nd leg.

[geysir]

I just knew something bad was going to happen when Birmingham made that tired clearance, which led to the move, which led to the goal. Them's the breaks.
That does take away some of the gloss, but the overall effort remains untainted and proud. Now to finish off the tie at home, even if it's a borrowed home for the evening.

[Fester]

Disappointed in the end but what a great performance. Well done the lads.

Did you two watch different games?

Well done Pats - coming home unhappy to only get a score draw away - that's the attitude we need in the LOI
