Vaduz score with their 1st attempt on goal. Absolutely ****e play from Pats.
That's more like the LoI we know and love - was getting worried there for a while!
3 ex-LOI players on the pitch for St Mirren away to Valur tonight. Jonah Ayunga, Richard Taylor, and Roland Idowu.

Pats really should have buried the tie there. Bolger header from 6 yards and put it straight at the keeper.
I am happy to be resoundingly correct in my Euro predictions for once
Fair play to Pats.
Good entertaining game
"Now jump up there and stuff that son of a bitch in the basket, chief"
That’s a good win.
Good win for Pats. But they maybe should have a 3 goals lead for next week and the tie as good as over. As it’s stands Vaduz still have a real chance if they score first next week.
Third goal gives good hope for next week - you'd imagine Pat's now favourites to go through?
Then on to Sabah, a new Azeri team with no European pedigree - though a record of four wins from five, losing only to Partizan (on penalties ultimately)
Probably a step too far, but a win always gives a bit of hope for more!
Edit - there's three countries the LoI has lost every European game to. One is Liechtenstein - or was Liechtenstein now. Another is the Czech Republic, but they've kept their record up. Third then is the USSR, which will probably remain forever (well, unless Putin has his way I guess)
Though in fairness Pats did beat the Russians away once for one of the biggest results in Europe ever
Plus two ex-IL - Caolan Boyd-Munce and Oisin Smyth.
Likely reflects St. Mirren's financial resources (or lack of); possibly also that manager Stephen Robinson (NI) may be more aware of the Irish market(s) than others?
Pats will win the league in 2025 if.
They qualify in the tie against Vaduz
Sabah beats Maccabi Haifa.
They qualify vs Sabah.
They are out in the Play-offs
They don't qualify to Europe from league.
Kenny is the coach for 2025
100% - 2025 Champions.
Won’t complain about that tbh. I’ll take any sort of result to travel with. TBh we should be three goals ahead in the tie.
We drop back to 33rd in the rankings, behind Kosovo.
Pretty much no chance of going higher than 32nd. Iceland are 0.542 behind us but have all four teams still in. Armenia having a good year too with all four sides left.
Only four countries below us have a higher score this year, so we're doing ok there.
But I think it's the lower teams getting to the Conference League groups that'll really tell how we end up. I expect Shels and Rovers will lose handily enough next week, but more hopeful Pats could get a result to keep us ticking along
Absolutely. My only fear about us going through ( and I’m not counting my chickens there) is that we’d end up having to play Haifa. Would have been awful. Israeli teams really have no business in European competition at the best of times, let alone in the current climate. Here’s hoping they don’t turn it around.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Nights like tonight are the ones that make all the ****e ones throughout a season worth it. Mulraney was absolutely electric tonight, he rinsed their right back pretty much every time he took him on and his delivered consistently good crosses, on top of two excellent goals. Unfortunate not to score a few more goals but it was a hugely promising performance and hopefully the two goal lead will be enough to hold onto. It’s set to be around 30 degrees over there next week, coupled with Pats being winless away from home since the first game of the season it won’t be an easy task but it’s brilliant to be heading away with hope anyways

Good performance and good goals for Pats tonight. Surely they have some chance in the next round if they go through
Don't go swallowing too much of that Western media horsecrap. The same people gave us weapons of mass destruction among many others.
Obviously a great night tonight, though I'm struggling to work out how much it was us finally performing or Vaduz just being abysmal because there were times tonight I thought we could've kicked on and won by one or two more, which I can't say for more or less any other game this year. Given our away record this season I'm still not 100% confident going into next week but still and all can't argue it isn't a great result, especially compared to how the other sides have gotten on. Hopefully it kick starts our season a bit so we can kick on to finish around...6th.
Shels 1st in LOI get done comfortably away 3-0 by a top Swiss 1st Division team and Pats 7th in LOI do over at home a Swiss 2nd Division team - most likely Vaduz are weak, but it's still a really good result for Pats and halfway to job done and another potential financial bump, it takes some heat off Kenny aswell
This highlights aswell the importance of winning the FAI Cup over 2nd/3rd place in the league, getting that potential bye/seeding/favourable draw might be why some clubs currently struggling top finish Top 3 in the LOI have gone on all-in on mid-season spending sprees
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
