QuoteLast minute winner for Larne in Kosovo I see. Winners play losers of Dinamo Minsk/Lincoln Red Imps for a place in the groups
Any win is great but definitely need as big a lead as possible if they're to actually go through. Looking forward to a 15 goal thriller next weekOriginally Posted by ger121

And Sabah go down to ten.
Well now. This is interesting
Aarons lucky to escape red there for Celje.
Rovers been looking very leggy for a while, probably be happy enough with a 1-0 at this stage and take their chances next week.
Probably a decent enough result if their home form in Europe wasn't so patchy too
Think they'll take that result. I didn't see the game but from UEFA it seems they had chances and were in the game.
Rover's game management is genuinely laughable at times...it's games like this that show just how poor a tactician Bradley is, really lucky its only 1-0.
1-0 probably a fair result. Celje are probably a shade better than anything in our league but all to play for in the second leg. Rovers are capable of getting a result against them at home.
That's the worst performance I've seen in Europe under Bradley from SRFC.
I didn’t even watch the game but I bet there was worse!
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
I'm thinking Ballkani not the side they were the last 2 years. Larne have had some good results in Europe in recent years. Granted not the last year or two.
And the bar is incredibly low yet Rover's manage to find it every year. It's almost like they wanted to lose 2 or 3-0 so they tie can a consolation win at home when the tie is over and Celje have already taken their foot off the pedal...just to create the illusion that everything is wonderful at Rovers.
Unfortunately for Rovers, Celje arent good enough to finish the tie in one nights they actually have a chance next week meaning Celje will still give them a tough game.
Pat's really have to try and get another goal in this game, given they have a man advantage against a tiring side.
If they could only beat THAT Rovers side 1-0 at home then I have my doubts about how good they are...especially considering Rovers did everything int heir power to gift Celje a 2nd or 3rd goal...
Really feel the difference between St Pats going through or not will be down to who gets the next goal, part of me feel Sabah under these circumstances would take a 1-0 defeat going to Azerbaijan next week, similar to Rovers.
Would you give over. Sheriff got pumped 3-0 in Slovenia tonight. Maribor also won at home 2-1 against the Serbian side Vojvodina. Both of those sides would be stronger than Rovers in my view. Slovenia have 3/4 sides left in European competition and are having a very good campaign so far. Could have 2 makes the group stages.
ELO gave Rovers a 14% chance of winning over 2 legs. Seems they've done well tonight and are well in the tie.
You tend to come on here each year during the European campaigns and go to town on the LOI sides.
And yet they are only 2 spots ahead of Ireland according to this 1710004391531380986...
Genuine question have you watched any of the sides you've mentioned regularly? I suspect not, so in that case why are you making claims about sides you don't know much about.
They've done well but you must remember, they've only done well because of how low they've set the bar for themselves...not because of how great Celje are, that's why they tie is still alive because if this was truly a good team the tie would already be dead and buried after that performance. They lost 5-1 to Slovan for a reason, doubt even Rover's would manage that...but I wouldnt put it past them.
No, I just go to town on Rover's for their minnowism approach to Europe.

Some absolutely brainless rubbish being spouted on here tonight. Time to get back to reality. It was nowhere near Bradley’s worst performance in Europe. Wasn’t his best either, but given the inconsistent season they’re having, going away in Europe to a team that are slightly above anything in the LOI this year, it wasnt the worst result. They’re still well in the tie. Rovers have some history of raising their level in Europe at Tallaght so they’ve a decent chance next week. Celje are slight favourites of course, but Rovers are capable of turning it around.
Go to town on Rovers! Could be argued that in previous years deserved but definitely not tonight, far from that worst even if just calling it on a wind up. It would not be at all a surprise to see Rovers push to progres in Tallaght, but they need to be firing to a man and no clangers!
