League of Ireland in Europe 2015

It's a shame that the magnitude of this result will go over the Irish public's head. For a very young team with no European experience to hold out like that for over an hour away from home is just something else. Everything was pointed towards UCD going out, we all thought at half time they were going to be battered. Well done to them.

great result for ucd hopefully more irish progress later this evening

Fantastic. Been reliant on live texts from Pineapple Stu while sitting at work. Went through the full range of emotions from thinking it was in the bag to being certain we'd go out by half time. That nets the club another �210k on top of the �200k for qualifying. Going by the crowd at the 1st leg the Bowl should sell out for the second leg. Thanks for everyone's well wishes and you're all welcome to attend the 2nd round.

Hopefully the other Irish sides can follow ourselves and Rovers though.

Absolutely delighted for ucd, a man down for so long and to hold on is just brilliant to see. Hopefully ourselves and pats get through too, although the closer it's getting to our game the more doubtful of progression I feel but hopefully I'm wrong

I got home thinking all games were on at 8 tonight -(I should really pay attention a bit more!) , so hadnt realized the UCD game was already over.
Great aggregate victory for them , and a nice bit of cash to keep the wolf from the door. bratislava will bring a few fans over,thats for sure!

I'll have to try and make it over to the bowl for the 1st leg, as i only live a 10 min walk from the ground.(im assuming it wont be on same night as the Hoops)

Well done again, to the students.

Incredible result for UCD.
Well done. You did the country proud.
Come on City & Pats, follow that

Well to lose both legs and go out is 0 points. a draw in Europa league is .25 and a win .5, So for UCD to gain any more points they would have to get a result. UCD have gained .5 for their home win and the league gets .125 or something fairly paltry like that. It rewards individual clubs more rather than a league. So West Ham entering at the same point as UCD etc even though the EPL is a strong league. Celtic were moaning about having to go through 3 rounds in the CL even though they were recently in the last 16. But they are actually complaining about a system that would benefit them as they dont have to heavily rely on the lack or Rangers or other Scottish clubs performing to improve their seeding. It is mainly based on their own results so they can only look to themselves to improve their entry round.

To put it simply, I think that the individual clubs coefficient is based on their progression through a round and the national coefficient is based on actual results of each particular game.
