Dundalk

[bpfurian]

What a night that was when Linfield played them in 1979. Now over forty years ago!

Bedlam,serious hand to hand stuff with the local republicans and guards.
Wasn't a single window left on our bus that night and a nice wee scar on the back of my head to remind me,courtesy of a friendly guard

Sickening that a team like Dundalk plays a team from the Faroes to get through and we have to overcome teams like Willem and Galatasaray.

I guess their seedings etc all fell perfectly for them?

The faroes team beat Tbisili 6-1 whatever happened there they were 3/1 to win. Seems a bit odd

Why are you praising a scum team?

Wind your neck in

Eh?

A few folk knew,

They were 9/2 earlier this morning, I was tempted to have a few quid on.

This isn't a pushover for Dundalk by any means.

 

[glasgowiron]

How have a Faroes team managed to make it so far?

They got awarded the game against Bratislava in the CL qualifying 3-0 cause the Slovaks had a covid outbreak then they got beat three one off Young Boys to drop into this round of EL.

Done me for £250 the pricks.

A free state team always seem to make the groups every so often. Think it was shamrock rovers last time? Rebel c*nts.

I think it's only ever happened twice mate ha! Shithole town, for that reason, I'm out. Great draw for them though.

 

[doyle55]

The team from the Faroes humped Dinamo Tbilisi 6-1 so aren’t any mugs themselves.

Fcuk me that's some scoreline. Just saw on twitter its their joint-heaviest defeat in European competition.

Its an IRA hovel. Always has been.

Jesus %^*&. Hope they get pumped

 

[Ped78]

Eh?

Eh?

Dundalk are playing their playoff tie at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, which suggests they will do the same if they qualify for the groups.

We were lucky, we had one window left

They played the CL Play-off there in 2016 as their ground is only Category 2 but the EL group games were at Shamrock Rovers' Tallaght Stadium

 

[Avengers]

Fair play to them, the league down there is an appalling standard, so for them to maybe qualify for group stages would be a great achievement. I was in Dundalk once at the greyhounds, had a great night out as I won €600. Getting in the taxi to go back to the hotel, the driver recognised my Glasgow accent and of course I got the proverbial are you a Celtic or Rangers fan?? I said to him, your all so predictable, you can’t help yourselves can you?

Sorry if I upset anyone but “ they will speak of our friendship, why can’t we be one”

 

[BSPECIAL]

Luck of the draw does wonders in football.

 

[UlsterBear91]

Anyone who thinks the people of Dundalk would be openly welcoming to a Rangers fan is very naive.

I come from a well respected family in Newry but there have been many nights out where I wouldn’t dare say i was a Rangers fan when asked.

The same goes when people mention that it’s fine to wear your Rangers top in Dublin ‘as they don’t care about that stuff down there’. Trust me, they do.

 

[WinkieWATP]

anyone think there will ever be a well done Linfield thread on any scum forum going?

Me neither.

I wouldn’t wear a Rangers top in Dublin to find out, and I definitely wouldn’t in Dundalk because I already know, aye. You’d have to be mad in the head.

 

[stu1873]

Great opportunity for them.

It’s all a bit confusing

Wind your neck in

Valid question is it not?

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

C'mon the Faroes team...whoever they are.

Something fishy?

I don’t wear football tops of any description, but I have never hidden what team I support and have never encountered a problem in Dublin. Everywhere has bams, but by and large Dublin isn’t (a) a football city, and (b) one where those that are interested predominantly support English teams.

Dirty 19th Century Terrorist coupon bursters.

 

[Alex Venters]

Why not? It's a good achievement for a team from Ireland.

Not everything has to be boiled down to us v them. Ireland is not the poets

Dundalk is though!
