I hate to say it guys, but this year is going to be a disaster for Irish clubs in Europe.
As for shelbourne, you cheated and got your comeupponce. However, dreams of past glories is all you have now so enjoy them. Bet La riazor seems a long way from Gortakeegan on a cold tuesday night.

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Couldnt actually see the game. Something came up.
Not surprised by the result either. Last weeks game was enough to know that Derry weren't good enough.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
Beaten by a **** poor team. I thought we played too open to be honest. A team with European experience would have sat back for an hour and soaked up any pressure. We should have tried to make it difficult for them. We played gung ho, leaving the defence exposed.
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
Pyunik looked dangerous most of the time they attacked. They played to their strength and what was noticeable was that they where very quick on the attack and could be in dangerous positions with just 2 or 3 passes usually via the wing. Derry were only really dangerous from set plays apart from that it was long range stuff or get it in the box as quick as possible. They didnt have any idea how to break that crowd down. I dont know if it his himself or the manager to blame but McCourt was dreadful. Disappointing but not entirely unpredictable.
There number 9 was pure fast. Had the running of the Derry defence every time.

This result is a really poor result, Derry should be beating teams like this Home and Away, pity they were not in good form, but if they were, would have an easy qualification to the 2nd Round.
It ranks right up there with a 1-1 draw in San Marino
Oh you are asking for trouble
What has that got to do with Derry messing it up ?
Absolutely sod all, but you should know that's how foot.ie logic works by now (not that I necessarily agree with your assessment of the result.)
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
I'd take another 10 years of trips to Monagahan in the first division as long as I can keep that memory. I don't want to get into the rights and wrongs of Shels, they were wrong, but this is a Derry topic and I don't see what Shels and me being a Shels fan has to do with it ?
foot is full of childish comment such as yours, the main reason I try not to post too much. Any sort of adult debate is shot down by small minded comments.
I was talking about the thread topic.
I'd suggest you stick to that too ...
It was a p!ss poor result.
The distance between the clubs is no excuse. The whole reason behind the home and away legs is to cancel out any effect that has.
Derry were beaten by a sh!te team ,,,
As bad as Cakemakers or Hibs that beat Shels. It's very bad day , 7th or not , they should have got through this round.
We are now UNSEEDED for next seasons UEFA Cup

Dry your eyes. You fraudulently got enough spins of the European dice over the last few years.
Poor enough result but, as I sit writing this in Prague, 6 hours into the return journey with another 6 to go, the distance, heat and general toughness of the location cant be underestimated.
Sheridans post above sums it up for me.
This game was lost in the Brandywell.
a) Pyunik had to travel exactly the same distance as Derry.
b) Derry had a month to sort out better travel arrangements...why the hell did they go to Prague via London? Why not fly direct to Prague, or direct to Yerevan from London or Paris or Amsterdam or Frankfurt or the numerous other airports that have direct flights to both Dublin and Yerevan
Don't worry you won't qualify.

Nonsensical. Its a lot easier for Armenians acclimatising to Irish weather conditions than us to 40 degree heat.
Availability. Have you ever tried booking 25+ seats on specific planes in the middle of high season?
As for the "numerous airports" that have flights to Yerevan, thats a short list when you exclude the ex-Soviet carriers with dubious safety records.
