SPL heads already moaning about being knocked out by a "pub league" team!
Up to joint 40th so (with the usual caveat that this doesn't matter as much as it used to)
Malta the only other league below Romania in 27th with three clubs left.
But the third round is obviously going to be a lot harder to get a result in, and with the champions getting so many safety nets and smaller countries getting into the groups, there's a ways to go yet this season

Let them moan and name-call all they like...
In hindsight what most Derry fans thought was maybe a 50/50 draw now looks a stinker of a draw with Riga progressing through this round against Slovakian opposition at a canter as well. I don’t think we ever had much of a chance.
However it is not about us - two fantastic results this evening following up from a very good one leg result for Rovers the other night.
To me Pat’s the most impressive of the lot but congrats to all, and hopefully we can turn a very decent year into a cracking one.
Funny, you sounded a bit like one yourself there for a minute.
Delighted with that. Yeah, we got the breaks, but so what ? Plenty of times the boot has been on the other foot.
Don’t agree that Anyang was the only one to emerge with any credit either. Pats back three were great, Adam O’Reilly brilliant in midfield, and Forrestor with some pieces of class too. We did tire badly though, possibly due to the heat, but we had a lot of possession and were generally very good on the ball, which is great to see from an Irish team.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Scottish press took this attitude as well, very pretentious, including the Premier Sports commentators I thought constantly referring to how big a result it was for Sligo, as if it was Leciester winning the Premier League.
Motherwell needed penalties to beat Coleraine the year before last ffs - it was a super result for Sligo but not a massive shock.
All 3 home games in the next round in Tallaght? What are the other grounds in the league that are able to host at this stage?
Just saw a stat that LOI teams have won the last 3 ties against spl opposition 😂
Not true - Gretna were newly promoted to the second tier
40th in the coefficients and the two countries directly ahead of us only have one team(each) left in competition. Never counting chickens at this level, but statistically there is a great chance to move up another couple of places
Great results tonight! Watched the Sligo one, what a show and stellar atmosphere.
Wiki Europa Conference League 2021/22 Prizemoney.
First qualifying round elimination: €150,000
Second qualifying round elimination: €350,000
Third qualifying round elimination: €550,000
Play-off round elimination: €750,000
Qualified to Group Stage: €2,950,000
Looks like 200k per round progressed, are these numbers out of date? Heard different figures branded about everywhere about earnings.
Nah I'm delighted for youse, honest.
Only saw from the he 2nd half onwards but felt that whilst Pat's passed it around nicely there wasn't an emphasis on pushing forward, especially after they were reduced to 10 men. Cotters peno aside the other ones taken were professional and calm so fully deserved to go through. The young fellah ataki(?) looks to have a bit about him. O'Reilly has potential but once or twice overplayed it a hit and almost landed youse in trouble. Enjoy Norway next week anyway.
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
To say that was sweet is an understatement.
Are we looking at the possibility of all 3 teams having to play their next round in Tallaght?
I know Sligo would have to put a temporary stand in to host the next round but not sure if it’s feasible…
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Delighted there's still so many games still left to look forward to.
Things were looking fairly bleak just a couple weeks ago. Both Pat's and Sligo are in bonus territory now. Like last year it's great to see Irish sides get so far but unless Shamrock Rovers so and qualify for the Group stages it's going to be a disappointing year.
Losing the run of ourselves with the recent great results but would be huge to have multiple teams competing in a playoff for group stage football.
Anyone seen geysir?
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Congrats to Sligo as well.
Up the minnows.
