QuoteFitness for Pats might get them that equaliser
Extratime has 2534 in attendance in Inchicore?
Seems disappointing for a European match - did people stay away after last week's 2 1 loss?
Fitness for Pats might get them that equaliser

Injury-time equaliser for Glens against Gzira of Malta - 3-3 on aggregate and heading for extra time.
Winners play Pat's or Dudelange
Dundalk with a third to really end that one; they play Akureyri next week, who won 4-0 against Connah's Quay
Edit - that Glens goal ruled out, so Gzira going through.
Dudelange down to ten but still in the lead. Pat's have injury time to rescue it
Edit edit - Glentoran score in the 13th minute of injury time!
Extra time back on

Scenes at the Oval! 12 minutes into injury time and they bag that goal.. incredible stuff.
Capacity capped to seating only, still a sell out.Originally Posted by Bohtastic
Dudelange score to win it on the night; Pat's presumably chasing extra time and caught on the break. Van Lingen with a hattrick. Probably not many of them against LoI sides in Euro games? One for the stats nerds there!
Other two through but another really poor week really.
Pats conceed at the death,they'll rue this tie I think,Dudelange were beatable with better defending ....
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Dreadful week for LOI. 2 losses against Lux and Icelandic opposition. That‘s so poor.
And to think, many were saying it was the best draw we’ve ever had and could get 4 teams through.
Ah team in pre-season. Need to be doing much better
"Now jump up there and stuff that son of a bitch in the basket, chief"
I still think it was and we could have had
Law of averages was probably one team wouldn't make it through, but yeah, home/away defeats for Pat's and Rovers is unexpectedly poor.
Wouldn't fancy Derry against the Finn's next. But Europe can be strange. Dundalk v Glens/Gzira - God knows!
Crues winning deep into injury time. I see Linfield hung on to go through. Could be a great night for their sides. We’ll see…
Dundalk play our old friends - KA.
Oh yeah - having said it on thread before!
Dudelange v Glens/Gzira...
Not sure how much I'd fancy Dundalk in that one
At least Dundalk and Derry saved us from further woe.
NI teams have overall been more competitive than us this year. And they’re part timers in pre season, against better opposition. embarrassing!
Crues through. The Finnish sides hardly world beaters this year either. Derry should be trying to get through in the one.
Disappointing although the better team went through over the two legs. They tore us apart defensively much too often. Their second was such a poor goal to concede, criminal pass by Norman, he hasn't impressed since he signed. Murphy had a great game when he came on but too many of our key players underperformed in the two matches.
I think most of their top sides are now FT. I believe Larne, Linfield and Glentoran are.
Meanwhile, up North, Linfield and Crusaders through, Glentoran in Extra Time at home (3-3 on aggregate).
Yeah, just Derry's form really isn't great which is why I don't fancy them. Even 1-0 on aggregate v HB isn't much to write home about.
We just don't have consistent enough quality in the squad for ties like that. Some great players at this level, but in equal amounts ones that would struggle to get a game for any other side (outside of UCD I suppose) and young players who while great often come with their own inconsistencies.
