Never say never with Cleary and Pohls on the pitch.

I see VAR ruled it out.

**CorribsideSteve** · 15/08/2024, 9:27 PM

Pity. Hadn't noticed that. I thought the boos were for something else.

Hang on and the cup issue will soften! PAOK next up? Slash Wroclaw - great name for some apocalyptic movie character never mind a fooball club that loves its red cards. Will be a big missed opportunity for Larne.

5 minutes of added time? Was there a lot of stoppages?

**Philosophizer** · 15/08/2024, 9:37 PM

5 mins added time?? Where did that come from?

**pineapple stu** · 15/08/2024, 9:39 PM

In extra time?

That's a bit mad

I see Wisla Krakow v Trnava is also into a second round of penalties. 10-10 after 12 kicks each

Edit - finished 12-11. A Trnava player missed twice, mirroring Brobbey for Ajax (who at least won)

Super Rovers .... cant believe I'm saying that ... but well done

**ger121** · 15/08/2024, 9:43 PM

Did someone on here say 3-1 to Rovers?

**thebronze14** · 15/08/2024, 9:44 PM

Well done Pats and Shams???

**niallsparky** · 15/08/2024, 9:44 PM

Big big win for Rovers, changes their season completely.

**CorribsideSteve** · 15/08/2024, 9:46 PM

I personally didn't give them much chance tonight after what I felt was an awful performance last week, pitch and weather notwithstanding. Glad to be proven wrong. Much the better side tonight.

Some evening for the League of Ireland for what seemed a non vintage year. Rovers into the Europa League playoffs with the safety net of Conference League group stage. Pat's into the Conference League playoffs. It's been a while since non champions have gone that far.

**ger121** · 15/08/2024, 9:47 PM

Well done Larne. 4-1 on penalties. Good news for us too in the race for Top 33.

Legendary Graham Gartland stuff.

Larne v Lincoln Red Imps for a place in the groups.

I was in Slovenia in June and was chatting about football with a local (who asked did I know the LoI actually has a college team in it? I said yes, I did...!) and he said Ireland was a proper football country compared to Slovenia, which had big problems getting people interested in the league (on top of being a much smaller country to start with)

These seem the kind of games the LoI should be winning much more often. The potential is there but we shoot ourselves in the foot too often.

But but tonight at least (just about!) Well done Rovers and Pat's
