In scenes similiar to their inter-county footballers, the nerve of the Shamrock Rovers penalty takers failed them again in their hour of need today.
This appears to be an endemic malaise attaching itself to the sporting "warriors" of our capital city.....

Fair play to our neighbours on the banks of the Garavogue.....The Doc Sheperd is doubtless quaffing a "cheering cup" in Shoot the Crows as I type....

Well done to the Bit o' Red and my heartfelt commiserations to ....... nah - **** it .. Razz

C'mon Sligo!

ps Caught a lot of it on radio yesterday and Ger Canning was appaling. If I had a euro for every time he said 'Rovers' on the ball - thats Shamrock Rovers' - I'd be a wealthy man. Brutal!

C'mon Copenhagen!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Puke - yet another embarrassing week for the League of Ireland both on and off the pitch. Rovers had a hard task, played well but came up short - Sligo couldn't capitalise on a great 0-0 away draw and conceded 2 goals in the first 18 minutes while Pats were humbled 3-1 - also by a Ukranian outfit. But the messing over Pats players' payment was the biggest joke - how TF could they be in a right frame of mind for that game - and made us a laughing stock. Even the fans held a banner 'For Love Not the Money'. Regardless of who was right or wrong it was embarrassing. How could you take this League seriously

The Clare junior league is the only soccer league in Ireland I care about

**Jayo Cluxton** Fri Aug 05, 2011 3:17 pm

My old team played in a mini topurnamenrt in Clare one Easter weekend. We had lads from Hermitage (Ennis) playing for us so they organised it. We beat Hermitage and went to Lahinch (I think) to play Ennistymon (Albion?) the next morning. I was too hungover to be bothered playing .... Can't even remember if we won but we probably did.

Not fond of Shamrock Rovers at all but taking Partisan Belgrade to ET in Serbia is some achievement - regardless of how it finishes. A win on penos would be amazing.

Typical Dublin comment. Any kind of a win, penos, toss of a coin. Whatever became of winning or playing with style or panache?

I'd hope for your sake penos don't come into it...Not your strong suit....

**Jayo Cluxton** Thu Aug 25, 2011 9:49 pm

What would a Liatroim man know about winning?

Rovers have gone 2-1 up in the 113th minute ..... with a peno! Amazing stuff!

This is why people follow sport you can always expect the unexpected

2243 Ok folks, we have to go but thanks for your messages on this special night.

It has been a long road for Shamrock Rovers. They have made the breakthrough and what a special time it will be for them. The club struggled for so long in stadiums that were so far from what could be called home. Hoops fans, this is your night.

On the greater scale, the domestic game can move forward. The bar is raised and it will be hard to not take note.

I don't think the League of Ireland has made Reeling in the Years before, Pat Sullivan will be moving like Jagger on a screen near you in the future.

Thanks for all your messages and well done Shams. See you for the group stages!

2241 From John Clarke on Twitter: "My Dad has supported Rovers since he was a boy and to see him jump around tonight was brilliant. LOI on the way up."

2239 From Sinbad the Sailor: "Well done Rovers. Amazing achievement considering they were homelss for so many years."

Bit rich Sinbad!

2238 The draw is at 12pm to confirm.

2237 "Galway United fan sitting in Spain following your updates.

"Amazing to see Shams go through, delighted for Irish football. To think this time last year Steve O'Donnell was a Galway United player and how far we've fallen since. Delighted for him and all the Shams fans."

Dermot

2235 "What an incredible win for the Hoops, as a Donegal man I am very proud of this wonderful instutition I followed as a youngster called Shamrock Rovers, they have done everyone proud on this little island of ours, the best of luck to them in the next draw of the Europa League."

Paddy Donagher

2232 Following your Rovers/Belgrade match commentary online - just checking the likely top seeds for tomorrow's draw.

"Seville, Roma, Rangers, Celtic, Panathinaikos, Spartak Moscow were all eliminated tonight, so the 12 top seeds in the draw look like being: Spurs, PSV, Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon (still playing, late kickoff in Portugal), Sporting Braga, Schalke 04, Dynamo Kiev, PSG, Copenhagen, AZ Alkmaar, Anderlecht and Twente. With Fulham, Lazio and Udinese amongst the 2nd seeds.

Draw takes place at 2pm (irish time), in Monaco.

John in France

2230 Shamrock Rovers will arrive back in Dublin tomorrow to a heroes welcome. We'll have a full report shortly.

2227 "Sitting at work in a very warm Boston, following your excellent web commentary. This brings me back to all those freezing nights at Turner's Cross, in a crowd of 1500, and looking for signs of real progress in the domestic game."

"This is a fantastic achievement and Ireland as a nation should be roaring Rovers on in the group stages!"

John in Boston

2225 "It's been a long time coming. Irish clubs have steadily improved their performances in Europe over the past few seasons. Well done Rovers for showing all the LoI that it can be done."

Eoin

2225 "Really really massive congratulations to Rovers. great game, great victory. Just an epic night that will love long in my memory despite the fact that I'm a Drogheda fan who cold only get sketchy audio coverage from here in Louth! So proud of that club and this league right now. Can't wait to tell everyone that Ireland has a team in the Europa League this year!!!!! Fan-bloody-tastic!"

Fionnán Howard

2223 Well done Shamrock Rovers! I was there in Coruna when Shels went 40 mins away from the Champions League group stages. This is the next step, a huge step.

No Scottish teams in Europe, how the tables have turned.

Mark - A Shels fan

2222 "I'm a Bohs fan and I've got to say I'll be celebrating this as much as the rovers fans..they have done themselves and the country proud..what a night for Irish football!!"

Kieran Mulholland

2218 Think all League of Ireland fans can rejoice tonight. Well done the hoops from a Cork City fan. Superb performance.

2217 "Well done the Hoops. Finally a new dawn that hasn't turned immediately to dreary rain. Wish it was Cork City, but what can you do. Proud to be Irish tonight."

Dermot

2208 Summer soccer pays off at last for Irish football. Well done to the Shams!

Ken in Tulsa

2208 A credit to see a home grown side storm Europe - proof the FAI Emerging Talent Programme/ Underage programme is working. Irish soccer is the winer here , giving the kids something to aspire to.

2207 "Magic, great night for Irish domestic football after all the past pain and near misses."

From Gary in Cork

2207 "Bray Wanderers fan getting the text feed in the office in Mexico. Best of luck Rovers."

John Coyle

2205 "Unbelievable..In Edinburgh where all Scottish clubs are eliminated before the group stages and here are the minnows from Ireland going through (without and sky money!!)...unbelievable."

Paul Harrington

2204 I love the way Celtic are one of the most popular clubs in Ireland. Which Hoops are in the Europa League?

2203 Hoops fans rejoicing, lets get to your tweets and e-mails as we take all that in.

2201 It is all over, Shamrock Rovers have done it! They have made the breakthrough that Ireland have waited for. Michael O'Neill and his players have done the nation proud.

SHAMROCK ROVERS ARE THROUGH TO THE GROUP STAGES OF THE EUROPA LEAGUE

Full-time: Partizan 1-2 Shamrock Rvs

120 min And we're in added-time. The Hoops bench are ready to celebrate. The 50 or so fans must be overcome with emotion. Big Dec, line up the pint bottles.

119 min Every football fan in the country is on the edge of their seat now and ready to celebrate. What a performance by Shamrock Rovers. We're in the final minute.

118 min That is it, Medo hits out at Sheppard. They are a beaten side

**Jayo Cluxton** Thu Aug 25, 2011 11:08 pm
