I thought they were very lucky against KI in the last round after winning the 1st leg 3-0.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Same thing happened Rovers in the away game against Tallinn last year. Just got back into the game and then conceded a stupid goal near the end. Will they ever learn? It's the difference between a sold-out, rocking Tallaght next week and a few thousand who will turn up only because they bought their tickets already. So frustrating.
You werent hammered (losing by 4 or more is a hammering) but there is no sense of contentment PC!
These guys will do to us what we did to Hibs, hold us at arms length and with the quality they have up front hard not to see them scoring.
Its Europa League for us now.
Really disappointing that last goal just killed it.
I was looking forward to a rocking Tallaght stadium at 2 nil.
Still think we will get 5k + at least but it wont sell out now.
At least Dynamo Zagreb have got it back from 1 nil down to be 2 to 1 up
Nope - 2-2 now
Looks like Shkupi could be half decent, which isn't good news
Or Dinamo having a poor night
It is damn annoying when a team doesnt seem to learn from previous errors. Dundalk's Achilles heal for a spell was conceding right on half time domestically and in Europe with, Zenit, 2 v Rosenborg standing out but also against Levadia and Vitesse. Different management for some but I remember Stephen Kenny completely lose it with his own players, a rarity, against Rosenborg after emphasising the need to stay switched on right to the whistle and not be clock watching appraoching HT.
Rovers the only team to lose tonight by more than one goal in the Champions League Qualifiers. Its a very bad result to already be out of the tie. With the results and performances of Derry and Sligo (dispite winning) it is shaping up to be a bad year in Europe for Irish Teams.
... Also I think nights like tonight remind you how good Dundalk run was from 2013 in Europe. Some parts are definitley underplayed especially the result against Sheriff Tiraspol.
Depressed as I am I think you are being to pessimistic. Even assuming we go out in this round we have two more cracks at group stages.
Lots to hope for yet.
Like the results against Larnaca , Bratislava , Qarabag and Celje ?
How come there was only about 20 fans there tonight?
Drew at home to Larnaca and Qarabag in the first legs, conceded two 90th min goals against Celje in a one-off game, and with Bratislava, after being overwhelmed in the first 20min of the first leg, played well and got one back before conceding another 93rd minute to push the tie realistically out of reach. Their keeper also gave a Man of the Match performance in both games.
Not saying they were good performances, but still competive for the most part (keeping the second leg alive mostly). If the Larnaca away game happened first, maybe it would be similar... but Dundalk went into the second leg thinking we had a chance (guess who was the 'star' performer for Dundalk that night).
Total disaster travel wise, I don't think people realise how expensive rare seats are at the moment particularly to places that are off the beaten track. If we are playing in North Macedonia next it's also not easy dublin London belgrade Skopje.
Kind of funny when u look at sligo playing in Wales than Scotland.
Hopefully the play off round in the conference if we lose the next round or the po round for europa league if we win throws up a trip that doesn't mean u are away for 4 or 5 days
Fine example that the details get dropped over time and people just look at the score. Of the games mentioned it was really only Larnaca that tore us apart in that 2nd leg. BATE in the 1st leg in 2016 was another that we should have had our heads handed to us but hung on and in the tie and the 2nd leg the whole thing was famously flipped. The error that always jumps out was chasing Legia in the Aviva when we went 1 down and them getting a 2nd as we pushed on - decided the tie really especially in the away goal era, instead of it being patient and go at them away where things could have been leveled by Benson in Warsaw, we needed to throw everything at them. There wasnt much point in playing it safe when on the way out so games mentioned above did include late goal clinchers when we had to roll the dice (worked against Levadia). You didnt fail to react though Asterix and what was said is a valid point, that some of Dundalk's results in Europe over that period may be understated, particularly in the context of the recent questioning here of the leagues progression or regression.

Holy feck !I'd never heard about that before
I can't help thinking if Rovers had gone for flat back 4 (with Hoare out of it), central duo of Pico / Grace, started Gannon (no LOI player last 10 years more experienced than raiding up the wing / triangle football) and possibly play Lyons on the left, they would have much more solid shape. With that system also you can really press high, I`m amazed SB doesn't see this.
Not a fan of this 3 at back, wasn't also under Filipo at DFC even though it ended up with a cup final win, not for me.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Who understates them though really? You were the talk of the country. It was infuriating.
21 leagues and 25 cups.
Completely daft isnt it, didnt know where to post it but its as mad a suggestion Ive ever heard on peace and reconciliation. If Dundalk and Pats had to swap out colours last Friday it still wouldnt be as wth was Campbell thinking.Holy feck !
