QuoteHow's the ol' Shels doing ?
Rapid Vienna 5-0 up on Wisla Krakow at halftime, and they've missed a penalty. Unexpected!
Magpies lost 5-1 in the end; 8-1 on aggregate. A respectable enough showing I guess
How's the ol' Shels doing ?
Well done Pat’s
For sure. Another round to look forward to.Originally Posted by ger121
2-2 FT and pats are through.
Vaduz threw the kitchen sink at it in the end. Hit the bar and had a few shots blocked but Pats fully deserved to go through.
Any stream for the Shels game?
Congrats to Pats. Looked a bit wobbly at times but some good attacking forays also. Palmer and Leavy stood out for me.
Wisla are a 2nd division side after they got relegated a few seasons ago, so it's not that much of a surprise that a fairly strong Rapid side are cruising.
Job done and through to the next round. Was a bit nervous when they took the lead twice but we equalized quickly both times which was a huge relief. Sabah in next round now, would have said they'd be far too good for us but after their near total collapse today I'm not so sure.
Cheers - I missed that. Qualified as Cup winners it seems. First European campaign in almost 15 years.
Nice boost for the co-efficient too! Now if Little Old Shels can do something
It’s a decent draw at this stage of the qualifying competition. Some much bigger fish that have been avoided.
Spoken like a fan of a LOI team who hasn't been in Europe for a generation or two. These fans are similar to english football fans of lower league clubs who arrogantly assume their country has a god given right to walk over any opposition.
Fans of dundalk,Rovers,pats,bohs et al will always be more guarded in their optimism of European football,for very good reason.
Seems a very quiet game in Tolka?
Zurich's twitter had nothing for the first half. Shels noted two or three changes. Livescore says one shot on target all game, for Zurich
Meanwhile Zira - who finished level on points with Sabah in Azerbaijan last year - are 6-1 up on Dunajska Streda of Slovakia. So for all that Sabah mightn't have impressed today, the league is dangerous still, and Pat's aren't Maccabi

Shels seem to be holding their own but Zurich are in 2nd gear also.
A draw wouldn't be too bad here and add 0.125 to the coefficient. Keep it tight Duffer.
Zurich player just pushed over a Shels coach on the sideline trying to claim a throw in (it was clearly a Shels throw in). A bit of a scrum on the sidelines ensued and the player got booked. Stupid on his part. Edit: hooked off by the boss moments later
Pretty ****ty behavior and totally unnecessary.
Wild to see Armstrong Okoflex come on against Shels in Europe!
But of pride restored for Shels and that undefeated record at home continues for another year.
