Linfield won 1-0 at home.
I was very wise when I wrote itJust noticed that the title of this thread has gone from a command to a statement
What a great 2 days
Pox Id say
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
That goal takes the gloss off it for Rhyl, it could prove very costly.
We are all smiling but it has to be said - its been a black day for Lithuanian football.
Wow, what an amazing string of results. Thats a point for the coefficients! Well done to shels, cork and longford for doin the league of ireland proud, lets hope u's all get into the next round
Congrats to Longford and Cork - brilliant results and for the EL.
Well done also Rhyl and Linfield and hard luck Portadown.
That goal could well cost Rhyl in the end, very unfortunate.
I'm a proud man tonight!! Bit snapping at Longford winning - actually I'm not really which makes me wonder!!
GREAT to see ALL the Irish teams do well in Europe and I think it's the best round of European results since I've got online and harassed all y'all!!
Next thing you know people will have to invent another reason to avoid EL games than "I'd never watch that ****e!"
I'd rather die laughing than trying!
Is this the first year in a while that Irish sides have been seeded?
All three good results may be a reflection of it!
Well done to Cork, Longford and Shels.
I may be blind but the Independent online doesn't carry the Longford match report? Can someone else have a look? If not, thats incredible!!! I would of expected a piece on the success of all three teams?
Checked the actual paper and its in it. Must not see it online!! We got a 1/6 of a page on the two games

garry doyle reckons it's 43 years since we've had 3 european wins in a week and three sides have never got through a round.
Reporter: "Gordan, can we have a quick word?"
Strachan:"Velocity"
welll done to cork shels and longford and lets hope they call all finish off the job in the second leg!
Slight correction, but at this stage, it's true enough.
No - sure they've been seeded in the CL ever since Shels beat Jugomagnat. Bohs and Longford were seeded in the UEFA last year. And Cork aren't even seeded this year!
Its great for the three teams involved but we need to finish the job off lads won't it be great if the three teams can win in the second and gets us another point although i settle for 2 wins and a draw
would give 0.8332 class

From d'Indo:
'Town record first Euro win
LONGFORD T 2
CARMARTHEN 0

LONGFORD completed an unprecedented hat-trick of victories for Irish clubs in European competition with victory in last night's UEFA Cup first round first leg at Flancare Park.
Stephen Paisley and Barry Ferguson grabbed the goals to give Town a deserved victory - their first in European competition - after they outclassed their out-of-season Welsh opponents.
After a shaky start during which Stephen O'Brien was forced to save from Mark Dodds and Ferguson blocked an effort from Daniel Thomas, the home side lifted the tempo and ran their opponents ragged as John Martin, Dean Fitzgerald and Davy Byrne had shots deflected wide.
The Longford breakthrough arrived in the 35th minute after Alan Murphy fed Fitzgerald whose chipped cross to the left hand side of the area was met by a cool right foot volley from Paisley that rocketed into the corner of the net.
Longford scored their second ten minutes after the break when Ferguson powered home a close range header from Alan Kirby's accurate corner.
If Longford felt the tie was over, they got an injury-time warning when Dodds headed over.
LONGFORD TOWN - O'Brien; Murphy, Dillon, Ferguson, Paisley; Kirby, Fitzgerald (Prunty 77), Martin, Byrne; Myler, Keegan.
REF - P Olsiak (Slovakia).

It trickled past the shot after the scramble in 18yrd box still cant figure out how it rolled wide.
How many people were at the Longford match?
Around 2,500 I'd say.A little smaller than was hoped for but beats our regular crowd I guess. 100 or so Welsh were expected dont really know how many there was as they were in with our fans and they didn't have much to shout about.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
