Jeunesse Esch (Lux) V Dundalk, Europa first leg. Dundalk one up - Towell penno
0-2 now. Towell again
Finished 0-2. They should deffo go through after that.
Good to see them win, they'll certainly go through, hopefully they'll be shattered and drop a few points in the league
Not one to hope out rivals do well in Europe meself, extra games will do though!
Stats on Pats, Derry, Dundalk and Slligo in Europe if you're interested

hope and presume, they will get smashed int he next round. its great to see our rivals play extra games, but its not great seeing them making more money
I think Rovers and ourselves to a lesser extent are a good example that going a few rounds in Europe makes little difference.Quote:

If the rumours are true that they are paying Towell €1000 a week for 52 weeks then they're not running their business properlyQuote:

Presume that's an artificial pitch?
From what I seen Sligo had a lot of the ball but never looked like creating an opening. Banga came into it strong in the last 10-15 and should have scored. Sligo should go through but they've an awful european record so who knows.
HT Derry 2 up
Derry 3 up with 10 to go, Aberystwyth had a player sent off in the first half
Three matches in, looking like two wins and a draw for Irish sides. Two wins more than last season already
Sligo and Dundalk both one nil up. Derry winning 3-0
Derry win 5-0
Sligo win 4-0
and Dundalk 3-0 up
Feck the begrudgers. Five wins and a draw from six EL ties is great. The higher Ireland goes up the rankings, the better for all clubs. From a high of 29th to 43rd this year is a big drop. Another two or three leg wins should see us back in the 30s. Derry stand a chance against the Belarussians and Dundalk just might turn over Hadjuk tho I can't see Sligo taking down Rosenborg.
Is the results for Irish teams so far likely to make any real difference to the association ranking?
I fancy Derry to go through in the next round but I haven't got much hope for the other 2.
We kinda need to be ranked in the mid 30s to mid 40s
Any higher and our cup winners enter at 2nd round and have less chance of doing well
In 2012 Sligo entered at 3rd round. They had no chance. Would have been better for them if they entered in 1st
Very true. But the flip side of that is that if our clubs enter at later stages and get a bit of luck in the draw and pull off the win, the group stages aren't far off (e.g. Scum with Partizan).Quote:

Its hard call to make. you could argue clubs are worse off in some waysQuote:

I'm not saying Irish teams shouldn't do their best but a higher ranking can bring its own problems.
