Wooooooofffffffff

Linfield through.

Congratulations

A great night for Irish football.

Graham carey’s CSKA SOFIA go thru on spotters after drawing 1-1 on aggregate with Osijek
He came on in the 78th minute

@Rocko will be seething as despite progressing (sorry) , “the huns” wouldn’t have done much for the “coefficient” by succumbing to a 0-0 in Luxembourg

draw for the playoff round now underway

Conor Ronan’s goal there on 47s for Dunjaska vs Craiova is a belter - was that the game the ref was hit with a bottle? - brilliant old school eastern european football there.

the EPL crowd will be seething that Irish players are successful in other leagues
“shur why cant he get a game in the “championship”, etc
”

winners of Dundalk and Slovan Bratislava play losers of PAOK (powk) or Ajax

the sooner wolves drop out of this tournament the better for them id imagine if they have a limited squad and have aspirations of EPL progression from last year
They’re playing Piyuunik Yerevan next and when they beat them they play Torino or Shaktor Soligorsk in Belarus a team most LOI clubs have played in the recent past


Big win for Linfield away in Montenegro last night. Two away goals against a team that put out Slovan Bratislava is pretty impressive.

Good form boost for dundalk tonight
Also qarabag showed last night what they are about

Very attacking looking lineup here for dundalk
Duffy and hoban up front
11 Irishmen out again tonight against a multinational side . We must be the only country in Europe with San Marino and Northern Ireland who send out exclusively locally based sides. .until we can attract foreigners to the league it’s going to be difficult to break thru the glass ceiling
you’ll have occasional miracles like 2016 but it is very much an exception rather than a consistent standard that can be adhered to.
It’s down to money of course. 


How’s it going so far? The Glaswegians in the other thread are great for the updates

Dundalk comfortable now. .
These boys are way off the level of qarabag

Brilliant play there. .
Some save by the keeper
 Duffy should have scored

Serious dundalk pressure now
