    Osimhen given a red card for Napoli. Commentators couldn't understand it and neither can I. Didn't look much in it. Great result for them.

    Group C is looking fun. All four sides are on 3 points.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,534 ✭✭✭Chalk McHugh


    Dundalk didn't really create anything bar McElennys first minute shot from distance. The second half was one of the most one sided games i've seen in a long time. Dundalk battled to the end but how Arsenal didnt score in the last 40 minutes i don't know. The gunners lacking a killer instinct as a top team with that type of possession would have fancied scoring 5 or 6. Losing 0-3 is about the very best Dundalk could have done with the near total Arsenal domination.

    Dundalk the first time in Europa League history not to commit a foul in 90 minutes according to BT

    I’d be surprised if that was just a Europa League record. As I genuinely can’t remember any game of football in my lifetime that I’ve seen, where this has happened. I’d habe thought it would be next to impossible to not concede a foul in 90 mins.

    So did Dundalk not even give away a free kick ?

    Dundalk had 21 free kicks.

    Arsenal had zero.

    Incredible that Dundalk never conceded a free kick. Especially as Gartland tried to pull the jersey off Willock towards the end of the game in as clear a foul and a yellow card as you'll see. Willock looked perplexed not tohear the referee's whistle.

    Jaysys Celtic are atrocious in defence.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,244 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    I thought some of Utd's defending was bad last night but Celtic are awful. So many things wrong with that defence.

    Keeper joining in now with an atrocious pass.

    Celtic will be lucky not to concede 4


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,244 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Griffiths follows a shot in and gets Celtic back into it 1-2


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,244 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Duffy sold himself completely, 1-3


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,244 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    And there's the 4th


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Feel for Duffy at the moment. Celtic was a dream move for him but it's turning into a bit of a nightmare.

    Great result for Lille, winning 3-0 at Milan. Seem to recall Galtier being linked with the Milan job a year or so ago and he's done his stock no harm with that result.

    Excited for Napoli vs Sociedad. 3rd in Serie A vs 2nd in La Liga. Likely a must-win game for both since AZ Alkmaar are away to Croatian side Rijeka in the other game. Here's UEFA's explanation on things:
    Group F: Napoli (10) vs Real Sociedad (8), Rijeka (1) vs AZ Alkmaar (8)

    Napoli will go through if they avoid defeat, or if AZ do not win. They will top the group if they win, or with a draw if AZ do not win.

    Real Sociedad will go through if they win, or if they at least match what AZ do. They will top the group if they win.

    AZ will go through with a win, or if they draw and Real Sociedad lose. They will top the group if they win and the other match is a draw.

    Rijeka are eliminated.

    BT Sport ESPN showing it.

    Goal. 1-0 to Napoli via Zielinski's great strike.

    Setback for AZ as they've gone 1-0 down. If that stays the same, Sociedad are through.

    AZ equalise so Sociedad back to needing a goal.

    Gattuso is shouting so much at the Napoli vs Sociedad game I think I'm going hoarse listening to him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Willian Jose with a late equaliser!

    AZ down to ten. If they score, Sociedad go out.

    Scratch that, Rijeka are 2-1 in front.

    All over and Napoli and Sociedad progress. Happy with those two in the next round.

    Jens Hauge really having a few breakout games for Milan recently, absolutely waltzes past players like they're not there.

    Club has recruited wonderfully this past year or so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    If Hauge had a real turn of pace he'd have been spotted sooner. Such a naturally great dribbler though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Weah has scored against his former side to level things at Parkhead. Lille need the win if they want to pip Milan to top spot, assuming Milan win in Prague.

    Celtic make it 3-2, so looking good for Milan atm.

    Full-time. Celtic with a hard fought win. If they played like that most weeks they'd be in a much better position. Lille not at their best tonight. Whenever Galtier makes changes they look vulnerable as I don't think the squad depth is there. Wouldn't want them in the next round though. They'd be awkward opponents.

    A very poor return for our League Of Ireland representatives Dundalk, no point at all out of 6 games.
    Only 3 of the 48 teams in Europa League won zero points, Dundalk of Ireland, Gent of Belgium, Ludogerets of Bulgaria

    but but but but they played a game and made no fouls so should have qualifed on fair play basis...


    Peak 6 are good. Peak 6 are great. We surrender our will as of this date!

    What is that all about? What was you expectation of Dundalk given how poor they have been comparatively in the LOI this year. They overachieved making the group stage IMO. Played well in a couple of games but were very naive. Wouldn't be a big fan of the manager either

    Thats very true

    the single leg qualifaction ties and handy draw favoured them

    Massively, and without the champions route wouldn't have gotten near the group stage. Hopefully Rovers can hit the group stages next year and start making qualifation a more regular thing. More money from UEFA seems to be the best hope of the league progressing

    Have we improved any bit in our participation in euro competitions in the last twenty years , should there be some competition like the Nicky Rackard cup in hurling for leagues like LOI , Irish League, Cyprus league, Luxembourg etc ...

    That is the new UEFA Europa Conference League starting next season.

    That is what Dundalk, Bohs and Sligo are in none of them are in the Europa league.

    If Shamrock Rovers get knocked out in the 1st Champions League round they will drop into the Conference League not the Europa League

    Arsenal and Benfica is borderline interesting on paper, until you realise both are fairly poor these days.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,216 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Interesting fact - the leaders of all top 5 leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France) were in the Europa League draw this year.

    Edit, which was of course already posted earlier today :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I like this draw. It's nice that David Silva and Januzaj are heading back to Manchester. And I'd expect a good few goals with Lille taking on Ajax. These are the two games I'm most interested in and UEFA have got them starting at different times, so happy days.
