Pats earned more for getting through that tie than they would if they win the league this year.

the first game of the day already underway in Astana as Cukaricki from Croatia lead the locals Ordabasy Shykent 3-1 on the night and 6-1 on aggregate
Hearts beat Flora Tallinn last night to give @Rockos beloved coefficient a timely boost

Cork are through after a 1-0 victory over Haeken. Pats are out after losing 1-0 at home to Dinamo Minsk. Minsk were down to ten men for the last few mins but the Saints couldn’t get that equaliser.

stunning result for Cork, budgets et al considered, this was a mismatch and they came up serious trumps
I fully expected Pats to get beat, they had the most difficult of all ties of the 3 irish teams ( Dundalk arguably had the easiest) and it was a huge ask for them to get a result tonight
Cillian Sheridan scored for Omonia Nicosia who went down 3-2 to Beitar Jerusalem
Maccabi Tel Aviv beat Kairat Almaty
absolute for disaster for @Rocko and his coefficient as Hearts got beaten at home by a crowd from Malta and are out, Hibs were beaten in Denmark,
Aberdeen beat Ventspils, Adam Rooney scoring, Scottish club football is at some low ebb

That’s a huge embarrassment for Hearts. On the European results there’s not much difference between the LOI and the SPL.

Genk win on spotters, Cork are off to Belgium

Hibs actually won in Denmark but went out on penalties

Some humble pie for Signore Trap. That’s 3 Swedish teams that LOI sides have knocked out since 2010.

Just watched the goal on the Soccer Republic Facebook page, @mickee321. A dead ball by New Ross native Greg Bolger scruffily volleyed home by Curracloe’s Kevin O’Connor.

what are your thoughts on these games not been shown live on domestic TV mate?
on one hand there is obviosuly a complete lack of interest amoungst the general population but the point the clubs make is that its boosts gates, 4.5k in Cork last night, Dk had a full house v the icelandic lads 2 weeks ago…
Cork got another 220k euro for getting thru from UEFA, id imagine the next round Cork leg will be live on Belgian TV that should net a few quid… hopefully setanta will show the home game here

forgot to add that LOI reject Connor Sammon scored for Hearts in their defeat at home to the third best team in Malta
