UEFA cup first round first legs

Whatever Shels can do we can do better

Now. no pressure Longford, but if ye loose ye'll be loaners

ah fantastic

2-0 away from home.. great stuff from Cork against a tough team. Cork had the hardest draw I thought?? Nice to see this happen. They were not even seeded!! Next year we will have all 3 sides seeded now as it looks like the start of a very good year.

Cmon Longford

Well done Cork City!

Complete the hat-trick now Longford.

Ah this is brilliant

Well done Cork, expected Shels to get a result last night, but think this was beyond most peoples ( except city fans ) expectations

Well done to all involved

That is exceptional.

Well done Cork, and Longford should make it 3 from 3 tonight.

That's good for the co-efficent, and we should have three teams progressing one round at least, is that a first?

Come on Longford, you can't possibley screw this one up, can you?

We're far from that. We're losing our good year when Bohs beat Aberdeen and Kaiserslautern. We need all the sides to win all games just to hold ourselves at the same position this year.

Not really..

I know we lose 1.666 but thats 5 wins and then nothing!

at the moment we have 2 wins from 2, leaving 4 more games to get the 3wins. At that stage we might still have 3 teams in the competition.

Shels are going to be seeded anyway because of the draw against Lille but Im sure we cn get past 1.666 no problem now. Only trouble would be Shels and Cork sitting back in the 2nd leg ?

To be fair two great results, but neither team is in a position to sit back in the 2nd leg. Shels are only a goal up, if the Glens get one early then anything can happen. COrk are in the superior position but this team aren't romping away in their league for no reason and again an early goal could change things completely.

But hopefully not!!!1

Yeah Shels are in no position to sit back, which could work to our advantage. Hopefully we can win the second leg too.

We are talking about wins in Europe for coefficient points!!

Shels can sit back take a draw and go into the second round, we can also lose 1-0 and still go into the next round.

Cork can lose 1-0 too and any draw will do them.

Spoken like a true Glens fan. You were all talk before Wednesdays game and you still seem blind to what happened. Its not being arrogant but being fair, you should realsie that both sides can now lose their home legs and still go through.

So of couse they can sit back.

Eh take a fcuking chill pill man. For a start I'm neither a Glens fan nor a Shels fan. I am using the Glens avatar at the mo, but that could change to an Irish one depending on my mood.
I wasn't doing any talking before Weds game and in my last post here I was pointing out that neither of the two clubs can afford to sit back as anything can happen.

And yes I do realise that both sides can still lose the return and go through , I understand maths et al.

Jesus H Christ,

And we're away in the flan siro.

Linfield are winning 1-0 for anyone who cares. Longford are still drawing 0-0 according to livescore.

Longford are 1-0 up, Paisley.

Paisley again, he's a good goal scorer for a defender. Usually important goals too.

Thank God. I was getting a bit worried about them. Have we ever had 3 out of 3 in Europe for Irish clubs in one round?

is it on radio anywhere?

Bouncy Mouncey has put Linfield 1-0 against Ventspils, Portadown are holding Viking scoreless (or vice versa) at half-time.

Oh wait, Viking just scored.

FC Vaduz are 2-0 up on a Moldovan side, incidentally!

Don't think so. '84/'85 was a good year - Bohs beat Rangers, Shamrock Rovers and UCD drew with Linfield and Everton. Can't find any other year when we went through the first three games unbeaten actually.

Anyways, plenty of time for Longford to screw up!

All three went out though. If Longford keep or better this score without conceding it's odds on for three teams in the next round, that's definitely never been done before has it?
