QuoteAt times it was nearly as good as watching Dundalk.
It was somewhere in between they sat back and let warsaw go at them but at times showed food counter attacking ability and good one touch and passing.

IT's a strange one to be feeling disappointed after a result like that.. before the game it would have been a great result to imagine for Pat's, I'd say Legia will do the business in Dublin.
Yep, even if Pats won 1-0 I'd still fancy Legia to get their act together. As well at Pats played particularly in the first half, you could tell Legia didn't respect them at all.

In the first half particularly, Pat's looked very composed on the ball and were all over Legia at times. Some very nice passing in midfield. Disappointing to see the equaliser go in, the big pitch didn't help with fatigue.
Hopefully Pat's see that Legia are beatable and don't set out too defensively at home.
What's your problem, dude?

So what did that do for the co-efficient? Roughly even?
Tallaght pitch to be watered using a special system next week.

Well done Pat's, despite the late equaliser. Least they're still in the tie. Friday's draw should add extra incentive to what should aready be a confident group of players.
It's just funny that anytime I see a comment from you it's negative. And the comment didn't even make sense - playing the ball in your own half and little flicks in attacking areas is precisely what they stopped down, and wound up conceding as a result.
The Legia fans here in work with me, whilst very dissappointed, believe that they are in for a very rough season, and are not very hopeful for next week. They lost the Polish super cup last weekend to an average mid-table polish team and they have the opening league game of the season this saturday evening before then travelling over to dublin. Henning Bergs management skills are just not good enough in their eyes.
Buckley talked of being "predominantly part-time" in the build up to this game.
Think a draw was the 'fair' result. Both teams created chances throughout and all told it was an exciting one to watch. Huge game at Tallaght next week.
End Apartheid Now! One Team in Ireland!
They gave away the ball constantly in the second half with glib little one-touch round-the-corners. And watch the equaliser back, the move starts with someone (Lynch I think) taking too many touches forty yards from goal and Legia breaking centrally, four-on-three, as a result. But that's been the pattern of League of Ireland teams in Europe for decades, they just don't get enough practice at this level to realise you can't play that way against teams that are physically stronger and can keep the ball better. So in that sense, the second half performance was poor, but offset against a result that was amazing for a middling League of Ireland side in desperate form.
That balanced and nuanced enough for you, Captain Positivity?

Amazing performance from a team carrying Oman, Chambers and Quigley..Legia obviously prepared by watching Pats last two games!
Great result mind you would say pats players and management must be dissapointed not to win. If home leg was in Richmond would be very hopeful for pats to go through. In tallaght I would not be as hopeful. Fair play to pats! Great European record
Can someone please explain to me in this day and age regardless of professionalism or semi-professionalism how players can still be not as physically strong. I can understand that they may be fatter in order to be stronger but there is no reason why they should not be as strong.regardless of whether they are fit enough or not.
I think we know what he means though. They're not professional the way Legia are professional, but it is their sole source of income and they're conditioned to play football full-time.
Glib balls around the corner and flicks are how modern football teams play, particularly when the opposition are bigger and stronger than you. They did it very well for the first half, which you didn't see, and largely abandoned it in the second to play the sort of caveman football you seem to be promoting. I can't remember exactly who gave the ball away in the lead-up to the goal, but you could all throughout the second half Byrne and Brennan screaming at the other players because they'd ignored a simple pass in favour of booting it up in Fagan's general direction (if they were lucky) and inviting pressure back on them. It was the clever passes and flicks that created every opportunity they had.
And who the hell is Captain Positivity? I'm Admiral Brightside. You must be thinking of somebody else.
Because they don't have world class fitness training, strength and conditioning coaches and dieticians. League of Ireland players are lucky if the club pays for their gym membership and provides a healthy meal on away trips. They're worlds apart from professional outfits in other countries.
brilliant result,well done pats,fahey top player especially in the first half.
Such an Irish thing to do in the end isn't it. On a cusp of a great victory away from home and concede in the last minute.
