Prestigious Europa League thread 2016/2017

Half of Dundalk’s team stood on the goal line. Awful shame.

Bollox to that

Dundalk hit the bar.

Great effort, that deserved a goal.

Aw jaysus Mceleney (sp) off the crossbar after a beautiful pass from Horgan.

The hun is on.

fuck that was close

Aduriz with 5 for Bilbao. 35 years of age. Animal of a man.

Shame for Dundalk but a home win against AZ and they’re still in good nick for 2nd.

@mickee321, did you travel from north Kildare into Tallaght for the Dundalk pre-match press conference today?

Do you have any spare tickets for tomorrow floating around?

no im still at work, ill be going to the Alkmaar one later this evening
it should be amazing banter
they following criteria will be met

  • a joke as to how they will complete the viking splash tour pre match like Zenit
  • their manager will comment that DK play a “british style”
  • they will make a few jokes about Dave Macmillan working 20 hours a week as an architect
  • the zenit one was very intense as 4 Russian TV crews and a gambling company meant that everything needed to be translated , the macabi one was banterous as Arvaladze is a nutter and had no clue who Dundalk were, some dope asked him would he get annoyed if the crowd gave him a hard time as he played for Rangers and he responded , “the crowd can make jokes to my ass”
    anyway…

game is a complete sell out, sorry mate, i have one ticket and am attending on my todd ( which is at times more enjoyable)

Zenit have beaten Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 in the Dundalk group. Two draws would probably see Dundalk through but a win tonight doesn’t necessarily guarantee their progression - the quirks of head to head would come into play if Maccabi beat them in Israel next week.

Zenit showing real footballing integrity .

Stephen O Donnell is a massive liability at this level. Shields is a big loss

Really shitty goal to give away - Boyle and in particular Massey should have done better but they should have cleared the box much quicker. I only joined the game after 20 minutes when they were already behind and it seems that AZ have sat off since the goal. Dundalk haven’t really looked like breaking them down despite having plenty of possession.

Horgan has been dreadful.
