Ok, mad few minutes. City take the lead and then Linfield score. Hmmm

**nigel-harps1954** · 07/07/2016, 7:55 PM

Cork had the lead for two and a half minutes. They still really need another goal.

Glenavon 0-3 KR now too

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2016, 7:57 PM

Differdange down to ten men in Belfast.

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2016, 7:58 PM

Just seen Niall Quinn is playing up front for Linfield!

They're making hard work of it. Linfield looked so poor in Belfast last week.

I see a trend emerging with all our clubs. Not clinical enough in matches, resulting in making very hard work of winnable situations. Rovers excluded of course

Glenavon 0-4 KR.

Glenavon only need to score 6 goals in 15 minutes.

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2016, 8:18 PM

5-0 now

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2016, 8:20 PM

6-0.

Jaysus.

**nigel-harps1954** · 07/07/2016, 8:24 PM

They only need 8 goals in 7 minutes. Easy.

**ger121** · 07/07/2016, 8:24 PM

2-0 to Cliftonville

**nigel-harps1954** · 07/07/2016, 8:27 PM

5 minutes for Cork to hold on.

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2016, 8:28 PM

Just going off extratime, Roy Carroll - fresh from the Euros - has mad four decent saves in the past ten minutes. So maybe "hold on" is the wrong phrase - they seem to be on the front foot.

Cue a Linfield winner of course...

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2016, 8:34 PM

Cork v Linfield the only game left now. 5 minutes added.

**nigel-harps1954** · 07/07/2016, 8:34 PM

Cliftonville through. Full time there 2-0. 3-1 on aggregate. Great result for them.

**nigel-harps1954** · 07/07/2016, 8:37 PM

FT in Cork. Phew.

**ger121** · 07/07/2016, 8:39 PM

Jesus they made hard work of that. Would have been criminal if they had of gone out. Carroll kept them in it in both legs.

Yup. Though Ireland have dropped now to 46th, a new record low. It's quite close around us, granted. But there's some countries there it's quite worrying to be behind - Estonia's attendances would be crap in the First Division here for example.

Code:

Rank	Country	        Total
 40 	Latvia	         5.625 
 41 	Macedonia	 5.000 
 41 	Montenegro	 5.000 
 43 	Armenia	         4.875 
 44 	Luxembourg	 4.750 
 44 	Estonia	         4.750 
 46 	Ireland	         4.700 
 47 	N Ireland	 4.500 
 48 	Lithuania	 4.000 
 49 	Wales	         3.750 
 50 	Faroe Islands	 3.500

The gap from 46 to 41 is very small. Plenty of ball to be played yet!

**pineapple stu** · 07/07/2016, 8:47 PM

Oh, for sure. But we ended last season in 41st - so we'd only be getting back to where we started!

Can't see Pat's getting anything off a side who made the group stages last year. Don't know what to make of Cork's performance - seemed to be the better team but only won 2-1 on aggregate. As you say, really hope Dundalk get by the Icelandic side!
