LoI in Europe 2018

Did anyone actually believe Cork would do anything in this game or tie at all?

A fourth for TNS in injury time! Kurtis Byrne (ex Pat's/Bohs/Dundalk) with it

And they hit the post earlier.

One more to go...

Edit - they ran out of time. 4-0 on the night; 4-5 on aggregate. Into the EL with them now.

That would have been some comeback. They must be sick after the 1st leg.

Don't think I have ever seen that before - 30 seconds of ads at first (nothing new there) but if I opened a new browser tab to look at something else for those 30 seconds, it paused until I went back to that tab.

I've seen that before alright. If you scrolled away from it on the phone it paused!

Same as Celtic v Artmedia Bratislava. 5-0 away defeat in 1st leg, 4-0 win in the home leg.

Good save by Cherrie.

**pineapple stu** · 17/07/2018, 8:28 PM

Cork doing really well the last while. Just lacking a killer pass is all.

**CorribsideSteve** · 17/07/2018, 8:29 PM

That long ball down Legia's right side is repeatedly working, good tactics from Cork

**nigel-harps1954** · 17/07/2018, 8:29 PM

What in the utter feck was that pass about? Cork are killing themselves with stupid passing.

**CorribsideSteve** · 17/07/2018, 8:31 PM

And just as I say that ... Clumsy penalty given, 2-0

**bennocelt** · 17/07/2018, 8:40 PM

Awful pass from mid, just as Cork were playing well.
One thing Cork are rubbish at are their set pieces, they have had quite a few without troubling the glk, which is disappointing when you play the J Caulfield way.

**ger121** · 17/07/2018, 8:47 PM

3 nil

**Straightstory** · 17/07/2018, 8:52 PM

Same old story. Basic mistakes; bad decision making; late breakaway goal. 2-0 would have been respectable and a fairer reflection of the game.

The moral of the story, play your best players at home and actually try and win the game.

Caulfield hasn't got to that page of his "Football Tactics For Dummies" book.

Had plenty of chances last week to win the game. Left it after them. Had chances tonight too. Legia's pen was outside the box. I'm gutted with the result. Still think we will make an impact in the EL.

Making an impact in the EL is really dependent on the draw and being able to take whatever chances are created.

4-0 to a side like Legia is no disgrace, but is a long way from what is required.

**patrickccfc** · 17/07/2018, 10:32 PM

If we had taken our chances in the first leg, going over with a less to protect would've made it a different game. We were doing grand until the first goal, which was very disappointing, cherrie should've done better. The penalty that was given, was outside the box, so that was very unfortunate when you need luck to go your way. We should've changed things at half time, not with 12 minutes to go when the game is over.

We got the toughest draw and as expected it was too much for us. Hopefully the EL QR3 draw is kinder to us.

While we're waiting on Cork, here's a slightly nerdy little montage of all 75 Europa League first round clubs' home grounds. Some quality stadia in there, large and small. Not so sure about Derry's ground though! Probably a couple of other mistakes in there too, but still, a nice effort I think.

Nice video...Counted that I've been in 12 of those stadia...Tallaght is not one of them though!
