What a terrible European manager Bradley is.
Pat's look to be hanging on a bit here
Turkish boyo's are much much better in the 2nd half, Pat's holding on a bit. Very much missing Palmer
Edit: and then his replacement Leavy nearly scored a worldie! Hits the post after cutting in Robben style.
Pat's just had a fantastic effort come of the post.. so close
A rare refereeing substitution going on here!
Rovers were actually ok in the first some. Some hard hitting tackles only for the woeful OG on 46 mons
I think these Turks had their heads already in the groups already, looked at the dometic table and went meh! They are not miles better but should be. Pats have rattled them with that chance of the post and they started throwing tantrums. Classic SK side with some real belief being engrained - even to a fault playing it out short immediately after almost giving a chance playing it out short. St Pats have impressed, look balanced and organised and its not all a recent marquee signing. I going to double down on saying that this is the basis of a side that will challange for a league title next season. I hope they are knackered still at the weekend!!
I think it's already clear that Pat's will be challenging for the title next year, especially if their owner is willing to throw loads more money at a team who won't be qualifying for Europe next year. They have some real quality going forward at Pat's and Redmond is a proper defender
Pat's do play Dundalk and Drogheda next, terrible timing with the Euro run, but they could suddenly be right back in the hunt for next season with two wins. It's not likely given the effort they're expelling, but not out of the question they go on a run after seeing just how good they can be.
They're 8 points off 4th place,and that's presuming derry or shels win the cup( my money's on the students!).I think that 8 point gap is too much,and drogs and dundalk won't just lay down as they're both fighting for their premier survival.
I'm not saying it's going to happen but it feels much more likely than it would have before they played Vaduz. Every team is dropping points, tough to know what will be needed for 4th, I'd be confident enough someone in the top 3 wins the cup, it's tradition at this point
Higgins job and Derry's season might depend on it too
In the name of the co-efficient… Amen.
That was brilliant stuff from Pat's. Half a chance now, going to Turkey.
