But presumably thats the aim. They would be "seeded" for that 3rd QR agains similar/beatable level of opposition; teams which have lost against "seeded" teams but have a win under the belts.

Losing to Riga would suggest that their seeding is "inflated", that they shouldnt be seeded.
It really should be possible for a well organised Irish team to get to that 3rd QR and be within a decent shout of the playoff. The playoff requires a small miracle cos its against heavier hitters etc...

Popesu really should have scored to make it 1-0 Riga, and then right at the end, the free kick missed by inches, hitting side net. On another night Dundalk could have been facing a 1 or 2-0 defeat, and there would be little to argue against it being justified. Dundalk certainly weren't the better team, and these Latvian sides are no washouts. Pats went out to Skonto a few years back, and were comfortably beaten 2-0 for example. Rogers had to make two great saves whereas their keeper almost nothing to do. A vast improvement is needed next week, or it's the EL route against a much better team than Riga. Its true that they struggled to get past FH a few years back on that golden journey, but then went from strength to strength, so I hold out hope that they can up it significantly if they really need to.

Popesu looked good when he got on the ball, big n strong

Really surprised that Dundalk with their resources didn't seem to have a ready made replacement for Shields but there may be reasons for that ?

Jordan Flores injury, Sean Murray not fully fit and Stephen O'Donnell retirement are probably the combined reasons. Chris Shields was really badly missed when he was out for about 7 weeks earlier in the season. Maybe Dundalks most important player

That didn't take very long.

**D24Saint** · 11/07/2019, 5:22 PM

Disgraceful what the Norwegians did , a whole stand empty and they stick the away fans in the corner.

**ger121** · 11/07/2019, 5:27 PM

Rovers 1 down I see

**D24Saint** · 11/07/2019, 5:34 PM

Thought at first it was a lovely header but OG

**CorribsideSteve** · 11/07/2019, 5:34 PM

Lopes! 1-1 Shamrock Rovers. Lovely delivery by Byrne. Edit. O.G.

**D24Saint** · 11/07/2019, 5:35 PM

Stupid tackle

**CorribsideSteve** · 11/07/2019, 5:35 PM

Ah for God's sake.

**Dalymountrower** · 11/07/2019, 5:38 PM

Brann not up to much, terrible defence and keeper but will score again.Reckon Rovers could beat them handy in Talight.Might even get one or two tonight.
