Brilliant. Fanstic from Pats.

That is a great win over 2 legs for a LOI side. Best 2 legged tie result since Rovers beat Brann?
Great win. The manner of it was really impressive, even accounting for the sending off. Twas no fluke!
Great to hear the 12 Pats supporters coming over loud and clear at the end there. Pats were comfortably the better team even before the red card. Certainly were closer to scoring a second than Sabah were to getting one.
Combination of great stuff from Pats and hilariously poor from Sabah across both ties, their own fault mind. Absolutely buzzing with that, Elbouzedi signing and Palmer getting up to speed have been game changers in Europe. First time I've ever kept such a keen eye on a game between Turkish and Georgian teams!
This Stephen Kenny lad is good. Next Ireland manager maybe?
Vikingur through. Do they play the Andorran side now? Crazy if they make groups and Rovers do not.
The rule to take the higher Co-efficient from the sides in Con Q3 vs. Lower Co-efficient from those sides in the higher competition; EL is a stupid rule from UEFA and penalises sides who win a round in CL.
Fantastic stuff from St Pats. Kenny two games away from guiding two separate LOI teams to European group stage football.
Happy for him too. Kenny obviously has something - every LOI success in Europe is a psychological giant killing and he seems to have a knack.
Jaysus if Rovers turn it around tonight the co efficient is in for some boost this year
A sweet,sweet result!!! Palmer, Mulraney, and Elbouzedi have been immense in Europe.
So Pats have 3 wins and a draw. Can any expert clarify what that does for their club coefficient and for the LOI overall one?
Mulraney commented on his man management. He said he never worked with a coach that put more into his players. I’d say that belief makes a huge difference to a player’s confidence.

For the LoI, it's 3.5 / 4 = 0.875
For Pat's, if they get knocked out next round, they'd get 2.5 points (same as the sides who got knocked out at the same stage last year). The club coefficient is the lower of the national one (currently 2.275 - the average national coefficient over the past five years) or the club one, based on the rounds reached in the past five years - so for Pat's that'd increase to 5.500. This is the stat which decides which teams are seeded in a round and which aren't.
Because seedings are done based on club coefficients, you can have a regular qualifier from a crap country (like Gibraltar) being seeded over a new qualifier from a half-decent country, and so the seedings can look a bit wonky.
Great. Thanks
yes it's the Andorra team next, passers by can hear the sound of the chickens being counted in the Vikingur boardroom. A good time for all the Atlantic Islands.
The Conference seeding is a curious one. On another note I remember one of the reasons given by Uefa for the grouping of teams for the qualifier draws, was to cut out the long journeys
Who were the last non-champions to make the playoff round or the equivalent?
Istanbul it will be. 2 nil on the night and now 3-0 on agg.
Was it Pat’s in the old format before EL Group stages became a thing?
