Surely one of the greatest European games of all time in terms of sheer drama.
7-1. What a come back. To be 4 nil down after the 1st leg. Then down to 10 men for 70 odd mins. Then need 2 goals in 11 mins of ET and score 3. Crazy.Originally Posted by ger121

Can't argue with that. I started searching for a stream for it as soon as Rosenberg scored but no luck.
Cork's desire to get the ball forward quickly and push their players up the pitch just results in them giving the ball away too easily and being caught out of position.
Rosenborg are just far better than them, Cork can't lay a glove on them.
What a mad match!
The ground looked pretty empty and all too.
Dudelange hang on; Legia are out, 4-3 on aggregate.
They play Cluj next
Rosenborg are just playing with them now.
Mcnulty is just as bad as Rogers.
The one who kept two two clean sheets in Europe this season?
It’s awful how easy our teams concede goals in Europe
If anyone knows a bad goalkeeper when they see one it's a Rovers troll
Cork were so unlucky there.
THAT, plus the perennial attitude of " What'll I do with the ball, um, am....., sure I don't know" followed by a 60 yard ball straight to the opposition.
Have to feel sorry for the dozen or so Cork fans who made the trip.
Refreshing interview with Beattie there. Not that it said anything we didn't know though.
Actually, the commentators and analysts in general have been very good this evening.
You look at Dudelange beating Legia over two legs and then you look at Cork. If I was a City fan I’d be pretty ****ed with how Caulfield approaches Europe. They made Rosenborg look like World Beaters. To not even score over 4 matches is abysmal.
And a Rosenborg side who were knocked out by Celtic who were knocked out by AEK Athens, and who were bloody close to being knocked out by Valur.
Still think Cork need to look elsewhere manager-wise to progress from where they are. Nothing this evening came close to changing that view.

Sorry real ale, but that comment stuck out like a sore thumb
How so?Sorry real ale, but that comment stuck out like a sore thumb
Didn't want to reflect until all was done and dusted for LOI sides. It was a disappointing year for the league no doubt. Derry and Rovers had good wins away from home but the home legs were awful. Rovers were too cautious in the first leg and showed too much respect. Not sure what Derry were at but I don't think Shiels has the ability to set a team up to win over two legs at that level.
Also didn't want to comment on Cork's result v Legia given they were a very good side when we played them. Unfortunately subsequent results have shown that they are a shadow of that side and it was a missed opportunity for Cork, again due to cautiousness and too much respect. Rosenborg similiar.
As for us we were expected to beat Tallinn and did but not as easy as I expected. After the first leg v Larnaca I was happy with the 0-0 as you could see they were technically superior. The second leg was a hammering, they were vastly superior and we made some uncharacteristic errors although I think that's doing Larnaca a disservice. They're result against Graz has given some comfort. I'll be accused of bias and I understandably am but I think this Larnaca side are far superior to the side that Cork faced.
The moral of the story might be for Irish sides to be braver but that's too simplistic. The reality is that we're far behind the level required to reach group stages and the players required do not exist in the league. Buying the best of the rest simply won't cut it for Europe. It'll be interesting to see if Dundalk, Cork and maybe Rovers look outside the league
