Bohs are going to get destroyed.

So where's Newcastle on that list?

Not just them, Rhyl aswell Partizan Belgrade. Bless them

With Partizan it might not just be the Rhyl football team that's destroyed.

What, a bunch of serbs going on the rampage in a sleepy Welsh pit village?

It wouldn't be the first sleepy village a bunch of Serbs have rampaged through. They tend to like going on tour.

Sligo Rovers 1 ...... v ......2 Vllaznia Shkoder

Poor result for Sligo, I can't see them winning by 2 away.

Good to see that Linfield got a thrashing though.

Distillery 5-0 down after an hour.

How was their performance, did they give a good account of themselves?

There is an interesting latest score though

RESULTS
Sligo Rovers (IRE) ...... 1-2 ...... Vllaznia Shkoder (ALB)
Randers FC (DEN) ...... 4-0 ...... Linfield (NIR)
Lisburn Distillery (NIR) ...... 1-5 ...... Zestaponi (GEO)

LATEST SCORES
Motherwell (SCO) ...... 0-1 ...... Llanelli (WAL)
Fram (ICE) ........ 2-1 ........ The New Saints (WAL)

Didn't see the match myself. disappointing like, I expected them to win. I heard they missed a penalty though.

Fantastic scalp for Llanelli if they can hold on.

Shame, at least you've still got Derry and St Paddies to come, St Paddies by the way look like they'll be going to Malta to play Valletta, they won their 1st leg against Keflavik 3-0, that deffo looks winnable for them

Derry and Pats will both win.

Bohs will get spanked by Red Bull Salzburg in the CL though.

Listening to Motherwell/Llanelli at the moment, god i'd love to know the shots on goal count, Motherwell's must be running into 3 figures

EDIT: Just checked uefa's site, Shots on goal count is Motherwell 27 Llanelli 2

From the various match reports I've heard, the result flatters Sligo's opposition very much. They got a breakaway goal against the run of play and the 2nd was an OG, but its goals that count I'm afraid.

FULL TIME: Llanelli win 1-0, Motherwell deservedly being booed off.

New Saints lose too but have an important away goal

Vllaznia 1-1 Sligo Rovers. Unlucky Rovers. A fucking terrible pitch, ref, and a shithole of a country in general.

Dont talk about Ireland like that Nav, surely it aint that bad?

I knew someone would say that, but Sligo were playing in Albania, as I have shown by putting them 2nd in the result.

Lisburn got another thumping too, also Motherwell reversed their shock defeat too

RESULTS

Zestafoni 6-0 Lisburn Distillery (Zestafoni win 11-1 on aggregate)
Llanelli 0-3 Motherwell (Motherwell win 3-1 on aggregate)
The New Saints 1-2 Fram (Fram win 4-2 on aggregate)

LATEST SCORE

Linfield 0-2 Randers FC (Aggregate, 0-6)
Keflavik 0-1 FC Valletta (Aggregate 0-4, winners play St Patricks Athletic)

Good to see Linfield losing, again.

I take it you hate Linfield then

Everybody does.

To be fair though, Randers are a tough draw for a 1st qualifying round tie, no suprise they're getting a pasting.

The Linfield game's finished, so heres the results

Maccabi Haifa 6-0 Glentoran. FT

Red Bull Salzburg 1-0 Bohemians after 55 mins.

That is a fantastic effort so far limiting them to the 1 goal, and away from home too

Rhyl got thumped 4-0 by Partizan Belgrade last night by the way

Red Bull Salzburg 1-1 Bohemians

Jospeh Ndo with the goal. Great result if they can hold on. Even 2-1 would be good. The Bohs keeper made a brilliant penalty save just a few minutes before the equaliser. It was never a peno, so justice was served.

Do Salzburg actually look any good? Seems like from what you're sying that Bohemians are good value for their draw.

They were all over them in the first half but Bohs have been better in the 2nd half. The Red bull goal could have been prevented though. Shite marking from a corner like.

Bohs goal was a 2 yard tap in with no keeper.

Bohs have 12 minutes + stoppage to hang onto a brilliant result.

Salzburg 1-1 Bohemians is now a full time score, what a result

Fantastic result. I usually can't stand Bohs, but I support every Irish team in Europe. Barry Murphy in goal was class as always. He's as good as most PL keepers. Only conceded 13 goals last season and was class tonight again.

This result is a great advert for Irish soccer, and hopefully Bohs can grab a result in Dalymount Park that will see them through.

The cunts on RTE wouldn't even show it, yet they'd put on some shite Gaelic Football match every Saturday and Sunday. They'll probably show the 2nd leg knowing that they have a half chance of progressing.

Apart from Linfield

Still though great result, cant understand why RTE would'nt televise it, i mean they did when Drogheda went to Kiev didnt they?

Yeah but that was 2nd round of qualifying. They didn't show our 1st round match against Levadia Tallan.

They could get a very favourable draw too in the 3rd qualifying round , if it all worked out as it did tonight, heres what the champions section would be like IF the results tonite were final

SEEDED TEAMS
Shakhtar Donetsk
Sporting Lisbon
Panathinaikos
CELTIC
Anderlecht
Olympiakos
Slavia Prague
FC Zurich
FC Copenhagen
Levski Sofia
Partizan Belgrade
Maccabi Haifa
BATE Borisov
Levadia Tallinn
Pyunik Yerevan

UNSEEDED TEAMS
Sparta Prague
FC Twente Enschede
Dynamo Moscow
FC Timisoara
Sivasspor
BOHEMIANS
Debrecen
APOEL Nicosia
KF Tirana
Zrinjski Mostar
FK Ventspils
Georgia Tblisi
FC Aktobe
Sheriff Tiraspol
FK Baku

They would beat Levadia and probably Pyunik Yerevan, but the rest would be too much for them I'd say. But you never know. Drogheda were within an inch of knocking out Dynamo Kiev.

RB Salzburg had 15 internationals in their squad BTW. That puts things in perspective.

Skonto Riga 1-1 Derry City. FT Good result for the Candystripes. Though they should have won comfortably from what I heard.

St. Pats 1-0 Valletta HT

Impressive result, pretty soon RTE will be overloaded with demands to show european games live now

Also Motherwell suffered a shock 1-0 defeat in Albania against Flamuntari Vlore, Bangor City (the Welsh cup winners) were beaten 2-0 by Honka Espoo and Falkirk are 0-0 at the moment with FC Vaduz

Pats 1-1 Valletta. Embarrassing result. You'd trust the junkies to mess up. They better put it right in the 2nd leg. Reminds me of when FC Vaduz of Leichtenstein knocked out Longford Town a few years ago.

http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2004/0729/longford.html

Embarassing indeed, Valletta are in one of the weakest leagues in all of europe, St Pats should have wiped the floor with them.

And speaking of Vaduz, Falkirk made hard work of them to just win 1-0

Pats have been shite this season though, and are a shadow of the team that qualified for the Europa League.

lets hope for once an irish or welsh club can make it into the uefa group stages

Well forget the Welsh sides, both Bangor and Rhyl have virtually no chance of going through.

Things though look better for the Irish clubs, Bohemians especially, they have a fantastic chance of making at best the final qualifying round if they hold off Salzburg and Pyunik beat Dinamo Zagreb. Derry should get past Skonto Riga and the St Patricks manager will have given his team an earful enough to go to Malta and beat the living shit out of Valletta to get through, a tie with the Russian league leaders awaits if they succeed whereas if Derry City get through, they'll play one of Bulgaria's top sides.

Bohemians will still have 2 more rounds to go through if they beat Salzburg. It's 4 rounds, but in the 1st round there was only about 4 preliminary games so it's pretty much the same anyway.

Pats had a lot of players missing against Valletta. They should have a few back by next week. And Derry should win against Riga.

Thats what i meant, get past Salzburg and either Dinamo Zagreb or Pyunik and that would put them into the final qualifying round where they have a chance of playing one of the big guns like Arsenal, Fiorentina or Atletico Madrid.

Bohemians 0-1 Red Bull Salzburg. FT

Fucking typical from Bohs. Salzburg were absolutely shite but in a typical Irish manner Bohs just showed them respect and stood off them for 90 minutes. Then when they realise that they're actually no better than them, it's too late. A stupid, sloppy goal in the 87th minute is the difference.

History of Irish sport it seems...
