LoI in Europe 2024

[pateen]

Derry pitch looks terrible.

[placid casual]

Like what? Feigning injuries at Tolka, refusing to give the ball back at Tolka after our defender Wilson sportsmanly put the ball out of play while their player was dead with a head injury who also magically jumped up when the ball went out, coaching staff stirring it at Tolka causing a near fracas, assuring Shels of streaming and then going back on their assurance and then stringing that out until the day of the match until completely withdrawing, smashing Sean Boyd's face with an elbow

I've head things about the ticket distribution and prices but I'll hold them off on that until I hear a straight story. Good riddance to the term 'St. Joseph's' unless we are ever that unlucky to draw them again in future

Sounds like shels and their fanbase are showing themselves to be relative novices when it comes to being in Europe.
In the immortal words of Ian Rush, "it's like being in a foreign country"!!

[placid casual]

Looks like derry have got the same kind of ref as Rovers had the other night, he's giving them nothing.

[ger121]

Derry need 1 before HT to increase the pressure. Linfield half way there against Stjarnan.

[geysir]

Derry have plenty of the ball but the Magpies look comfortable. Derry had what looked to be a good goal from a header in the box disallowed, the replay of the incident didn't illuminate what was the 'foul' (lack of camera zoom action) but whatever it was didn't look more than a slight touch on a defender who was challenging for the ball.

[pateen]

Yesss

[geysir]

goal from a header, similar to the disallowed one.

And now 1 up.

Valur going very well away in Albania.

[geysir]

Yes Valur 3 up, should be 6 nil. It's a scorcher out there, 37C.

What's the stream to the Derry game?

[geysir]

Derry now have this game under control, just need the goals.

[pineapple stu]

The fall of Belarussian football continues - from having BATE Borisov get four points in a Champions League group of Roma, Barcelona and Leverkusen just nine years ago, they're now dropping to 54th in the UEFA rankings, ahead of only San Marino

And Isloch of Belarus are just after losing 1-0 at home (well, in Hungary) to La Fiorita of San Marino to send their tie to extra time; the goal coming in the 87th minute. La Fiorita had just three draws to show from their 26 European games to date.

Late goals also the undoing of the Welsh sides - Bala conceded in the 120th minute to lose 3-2 on aggregate, while Connah's Quay conceded in the 88th minute against Bravo of Slovenia to send the tie to extra time.

[geysir]

WTF, Derry down to 10.

[Burnsie]

Adam O'Reilly sent off, Second yellow for a dive. Seemed a good decision

[ger121]

What is it with LOI sides going down to 10 men. Stupid

[joey B]

Derry red card,second yellow for diving,the ref is a shambles really…

[placid casual]

Down to 10 men. Bad decision making.

[ger121]

Was it a dive?

[joey B]

Was it a dive?

It was one of those when it was neither a penalty or a dive,maybe I’m wrong but that’s what it looked like to me…

That's exactly what we've been asking actually, yes
