Thrilled. Well done UCD!

Excellent result to hold on like that with 10 men. Irish clubs never do it the easy way. 2 down, 2 to go!

Slovan Bratislava. Bit tougher I'd imagine!

They're currently 8-0 on agg, v a Gibraltar team.

Any ideas what that does for the country co-efficient? If all four sides are through after tonight, do we jump up the rankings Wales style?

Fair play to UCD.

Some people criticise the LoI 'love in' this time of the year. I enjoy the sense of comradery and was genuinely nervous for the second 45 of that game. Dont think my heart would hold out if a similar scenario plays out over the next 2 weeks!!

This better produce some Guardian articles on UCD and ****. Well worth it.

**brendy_�ire** · 09/07/2015, 6:06 PM

Outstanding stuff! Had a quick google on second tier teams getting through rounds. Can't find much; a Europa League first?

UCDs game v Athlone this Sunday has been postponed as a result of their progression.

They lost tonight so nothing I assume. Of course they could get points in the next round.

UCD are the first League of Ireland First Division club to win a game and a tie in Europe. Bray Wanderers (twice) and Dundalk both went out

a quarter of the total for what is so far 2 wins (1 point in total i think) and 2 draws (.5) and what happens later so feck all.

.25 + .125 so a whopping .375 I shall assume 2 wins later so could be nearly .6 on the national co-efficient. I am probably entirely wrong!
