Celtic drop into the qualifying round of the Europa League, still is fucking hilarious to see the smacked arse face of Lennon trying to explain that one. I wish I was at work yesterday to see the glory hunting celtic fans miserable as fuck.

2 goals in the first 15 minutes for Motherwell, they lead Aalesunds 3-1 on aggregate now and also with an away goal advantage too, at least thats one SPL side doing themselves proud. Unlike Hibernian who are now 4-0 down to Maribor (1-0 down on the night at home)

As for Liverpool, they're 1-0 up on the night against Rabotnicki

Some photos from the Shamrock Rovers V Juventus game tonight.

Thats the kind of weather I absolutely love playing in

EUROPA LEAGUE 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND AGGREGATE RESULTS

FK Rabotnicki (MAC) ....... 0-4 ........ Liverpool (ENG)
Maritimo (POR) ........ 10-3 ........ Bangor City (WAL)
CSKA Sofia (BUL) ........ 5-1 ........ Cliftonville (NIR)
Shamrock Rovers (IRE) ........ 0-3 ........ Juventus (ITA)
NK Maribor (SLO) ........ 6-2 ........ Hibernian (SCO)
Aalesund (NOR) ........ 1-4 ........ Motherwell (SCO)

As for shock early exits, Red Star Belgrade are out after lsing to Slovan Bratislava, Montpellier are another, the french club lost on penalties to the Hugarnan side Gyori but the biggest shock of all is Olympiakos who lost on away goals to Maccabi Tel Aviv

As for seedings or the playoff-round, Aston Villa, Man City and Liverpool are ll seeded while Motherwell, Dundee United and The New Saints are all unseeded. but the draw could be totally changed if Real Mallorca win their appeal against being kicked out of the competition for entering administration.

I watched the Liverpool game last night and I thought they were brilliant. Now, I know it's only Rabot... someone or other, but they played round them with so much ease. Cole played off Ngog, with Gerrard deeper and those 3 were amazing together, especially Cole & Gerrard. That Jovanovic looked pretty good too. If Ngog could finish they would have won 5 or 6. When Torres is back, I think the trio of him, Cole and Gerrard will be amazing if they stay fit.

I'm gonna put all my amazing credibility on the line and if they replace Mascherano with someone better than Lucas, they could challenge for the league. There. Said it!

Didnt see the game but generally I think Cole is a fantastic signing for them. Cant see them winning the league like, there defence is still a bit suspect and I very much doubt Torres will stay fit all season but they should improve on last season.

Gutted, the yids scored the easiest draw possible in the CL, typical really.

Dynamo Kiev v Ajax

Zenit St Petersburg v Auxerre

Werder Bremen v Sampdoria

Braga v Sevilla

Young Boys v TOTTENHAM

FK Partizan v Anderlecht

Sparta Prague v MSK Zilina

Basel v FC Sheriff

Rosenborg v Copenhagen

Salzburg v Hapoel Tel-Aviv

The bindippers have got no chance of the league. If Cole plays 20 games this season I be surprised and only its matter of time before Torres gets a knock. 6th or 7th at best.

Del Boy Piero's cracker against Rovers.

Do you know what?

I've looked through those fixtures 4 times to try to see who Athletico had got to make you so confident they were going to get knocked out!

Absolute Class

I like one of the comments on Youtube criticising the keeper

Yeah I saw that, as if a wall makes any difference with a class strike like that.

Oh dear Spurs

Im trying hard not to laugh.

Good start.

Me too

Haha. They'll still go through though. But I'll laugh while I can.

I'd also like to take this chance to once again declare my hatred for Harry Redknapp!

Haha 3-0!!

You think hahaha 3-0

Ok i failed

2 quotes that spring to mind.

1 - a fan on 606 after the draw was made:

"great draw, we will go further than Arsenal this year in the CL"

2 - Harry Redknob

"we wont use the pitch as an excuse".

FFS Bassong.

3-1 Bassong

Boooooo

I'll give Young Boys credit, they look a decent well organised team. You dont knock out the likes of Fenerbahce by being crap.

I like Young Boys.

Thats what I have been hearing

Come on Young Boys

Not you as well?

BANG! what a goal

Missed it - who scored?

Young Boys have been fucked.

Pavlyuchenko, power shot from an acute angle

Spurs to spawn their way through on away goals then?

Got to be one of the most disturbing threads I've read.

It always is when Spurs are involved

Poor Young Boys, were holding on so well and then blew it prematurely

Headline:

Young Boys from Wankdorf. Haha.

Gutted that Spurs raped Young Boys in the 2nd half.

In all seriousness, the Swiss could of had another 2 before Spurs got the 2nd.

And suprise results from tonight, Fenerbahce lost again 1-0 at PAOK Salonika, Galatasaray could only manage a 2-2 draw at home to Ukrainan side Karpaty Lviv and PSV Eindhoven lost 1-0 away at Sibir Novosibirsk

And this is a latest but could end up being the big shock of the night, Sporting Lisbon are losing 2-0 at home to Brondby with about 10 minutes left

EDIT: Thats how it finished

I watched Lausanne-Sports 1-1 Lokomotiv Moscow. LS fluked their way into the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup by losing the cup final, then beat Banja Luka and FC Randers in the first two qualifying rounds. They actually played pretty well but you could see their fitness wasn't there. Good match though, woodwork hit three times and two good goals.

A few shocks last night, the biggest being Sevilla who were knocked out by Celtic's conquerers Braga but a brilliant game last night between Sampdoria and Werder Bremen, Sampdoria were 3-0 up when Werder scored a last minute away goal to force extra time, they went on to get another goal there to go through.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PLAYOFF/4th QUALIFYING ROUND 2nd LEGS

I take it you fancy Young Boys tonight

Never before have I been so eager to see Young Boys playing and scoring with each other.

1-0 to the spuds, Crouch on 5mins
