Well Genk for City and take your pick for Dundalk.Originally Posted by legendz
Full time in Iceland. Rovers win 1-0. Terrific result.
Result in Iceland.
Two wins about the best we could hope for really.
Great win for rovers. 2 out of 3 away wins for LOI #GREATESTLEAGUEINTHEWORLD
3 teams unseeded, all 3 away from home, one against one of the top rank teams in the draw. To come away with 2 wins is excellent.
Well that went better than expected. Watching a periscope of the last few minutes we looked completely in control. Need to take that into next Thursday and finish the job now. Biggest result of Bradley's short career so far.
Great win for Shams. Expected Cork to win and Derry to lose alright.
Anyone been chatting to geysir?

I heard he is ready to burst.
Oh that's just a load of hot air.
You're just steaming you didn't mention it first.
Had backed Cork to win 2-0 and the Rovers/Cork double. Raging I didn't have more faith.
Watched the full Cork game. Was surprised they didn't kick on more in the 2nd half, Levadia were v weak at the back. Cork played some lovely football.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
We were poor enough but great result. I'd expect an improved performance for us next week
It takes teams a while to adjust from domestic games to the European football. The result is all that matters.
Great result for Rovers too, perhaps the more impressive given their indifferent form this season.
Both teams have a great chance of going through.
Speaks volumes that a poor performance from City away in Europe, still yields a 2 nil win. I fancy them to score 2 or 3 in the cross next week.
Great results for CCFC and SRFC. It is great seeing such progression. Any clue as to the financial reward from UEFA for getting through this round - should they make it.

Two great results, Cork almost certainly into round 2 though, and definitely advantage Rovers but a fair bit of work to do in theirs.
Tough night for Derry, but that was probably expected.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
Well said, it took Dundalk 3 games in Europe last year before they really flourished in Europe. They were only OK in the 1st two games against FH, and struggled verv badly in the 1st leg in Borisov. In truth, BATE should have won the 1st leg about 3 nil but Dundalk got a bit of luck. Dundalk seemed to learn an awful lot from those 1st 3 games because from then on they never looked overawed and performed very well in all their other games.
I didn't see the Rovers' game as I was at the KR game. Local news say the goal was scrappy and avoidable but it was inevitable, a goal was coming regardless and Rovers closed out the rest of the game with some aplomb. The motm was given to Ronan Finn, who's also remembered from last year.
At least Rovers are Ireland's biggest team in Iceland as they're the only Irish team to win a game here in decades.
Sorry, phones gone mad. That should have said we beat Valur there 2-0
