eircom League in Europe - 2008

God, I hate Gabriel Egan. Don't ****ing react to an incident before you describe it, we don't know what you're reacting to! Gimp. How is still employed as a radio commentator??

Europe is about taking your chances when you get them. Doesn't matter who has all the possession.

Fantastic, they are showing some great boucebackabilty.

Everytime that big yellow Elsborg flags goes up I think its offside. very confusing

Great result, well done Pats.

The tie is still 50-50 though, but its better than it could have been

Not many quotes as of yet Pete. See if there's anything in tomorrow's papers. But Magnus Haglund (Elfsborg's coach) says on their official site - "Perfect first half, leading 2-0, could easily have been 4-0 (true, btw). Pats were about to fall apart towards the end of the first half but they got a new lease of life after their goal. Overall we played well but only got a 2-2 result from the first match in a two-legged tie. We'll have to go to Dublin and win there".

Only interested in arrogant quotes

If Pats get a draw then Hungary need two wins, looking at the teams they face I can't see that happening either.

Would be a great season if we hold onto 32nd. Even if we don't we'll have two of our three UEFA Cup teams getting a bye to QR2 in 2010.

27th is our next aim

Both Bosnian and Hungarian teams lost!!
Don't see them getting too much from the 2nd legs either.

32nd on the cards

Actually you can more or less rule out points for Slovenia or Latvia in the 2nd legs too.

If Pats can win at home we're looking good for 30th !!!

great result in the end given all accounts, it definitely seems EL teams have got that extra bit now, and the experience is paying off when it comes to going a goal down or even 2 as demonstrated by both Drogehda and St Pats. Hopefully they can now progress and maybe get a lucky draw in the 3rd round.
