Quote0-0 result in Israel.
Great Dundalk performance, but no question the better team won. But Dundalk have to take heart and believe they can still get through. Keep playing like that and they've every chance.
Least the other game finished scoreless and still very much in their own hands to get 2nd.

Good performance all round but defensive lapses the causes of the goals. What was that pass out from Gartland (I think) that led to the second goal? Huge error in judgement given how much pressure the midfielder was under. And they still had chances to clear. They responded very well though. A credit to themselves and the domestic game.
yeah good game, put it upto them and were a tad unlucky in the end again, if they play like that in the last two games they have a real chance
Very good performance against a quality side. Unbelievable skill from Horgan and McEleney.
A couple of poor passing choices from Gartland was the difference this evening.
They'll need to be beating Alkmaar in Tallaght and hope Zenit do a job on Maccabi. Going to be very difficult, but they have proven themselves capable of it already.

Beat alkmaar and hope zenit beat maccabi. Very realistic chance this will happen
Down to 3rd. Not based on head to head. Goal difference first, then goals scored. As Maccabi have scored 1 more, they move up to 2nd.

2 draws would do them. I think Zenit will beat Maccabi at home and at worse get a draw in Alkmaar.
Home match v Feyenoord and away v Zora left. I'd still back them to go through.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Think that wiki page is wrong. UEFA have Dundalk in 2nd after 4 games
http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague...ngs/index.html
Dundalk were pressure pinned to the wall quite a few times, but it came down to skillfully capitalising on 2 poor mistakes that let Zenit have the game.
And despite all that, Dundalk could not have come closer to not losing the game and deservedly so.
A win at 'home' and an away draw is now well within the realm of possibilities.
From the Uefa site

Funny, yes, but not correct
Bohemians 00 won away in Germany. Shelbourne 04 drew at home against both Deportivo and Lille. Derry 06 drew at home against PSG. If only these teams had the luxury of a group stage to showcase their talents.

Correct, but maybe phrased badly.
They're currently third in the group. Though I agree they'll likely go through still.
No harm to you, but..

They were one off games though, and we'll never know how they would have fared Ina group situation. The point is that Dundalk have earned the right to play in the group stages, and are consistently competitive in all of their games. Very good again tonight, and so close to getting a draw with the McElany shot off the crossbar. The difference I think with Dundalk and previous Irish teams is that they have the strength to compete and not be muscled out of it by the bigger teams, something Irish teams have lacked in the past. Yes, they have a lot of talent, but so did the previous teams you mentioned, as well as Pats in 2014, who came very close to beating Legia in Warsaw.
One final point about the errors for the goals (though I misssed the first goal) but aren't the errors a symptom of the extra pressure Dundalk are under in these games, rather than just simple unforced mistakes. That's what happens when you step up a level. They don't come under the same pressure in domestic games, so make less of those kind of mistakes.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Dundalk had to play 3 rounds to get to the El group stages. Overall what is your pointHaha!
... and I'll keep banging on about it even more.
On the game zenith created a multitude of chances and we're guilty of not taking them. It's a killer that they scored from our errors moreso than their own skill but I suppose it's the small margins at this level.
Can't help but be overly proud of our lads. What best way to get over it than a cup final to savour on sunday.
It could be one of the last times we could get to see horgan, boyle and a few others playing in Ireland and for a tenner
