Well done, an important barrier passed. What a goal to equalize.

Well Setanta were advertising FC Sion v Celtic but the other Hoops were on 

[ONeill]

Fcuk sake lads give Sion Mills some credit. That wee linen town give Celtic a right doing tonight.

[Overthebar!]

€1 million + on the way

Think this is the breakdown for anyone interested:

€640,000 straight up then €60,000 per match in the Group Stage (6 matches), then it's €140,000 for each win.

The least any group stage side appeared to get last season was Hadjuk Split at €1,225,078, hopefully da roverzzz won't squander it like LOI clubs are well known for doing, unreal achievement though, no doubt John Delaney will pop up on tv & radio proclaiming the great part the board of the FAI played in it all

Did the Rovers player dive for the penalty? Looked a bit dodgy on the crappy video I saw.

[Orangemac]

Brilliant result and amazing goal, if Messi scored it the media would not stop tallking about it.

Is O'Neill a manager who could go on to bigger things? His teams never seem to lie down and the amount of games they win in the last minute is unreal.

Faaaaaantaaaastic equalizer and result from a Derry City fan in Oz.

Likewise Aerlik, I would be a Monaghan Utd fan and was glued to the twitter this morning in work watching the match develop, it was v exciting!!

Fair play to Rovers, it was amazing watching their belief grow in the second half of the first leg. They scored a cracking goal that night too, and clearly carried that belief to Belgrade.

[EC Unique]

Fair play. Great to see it.

Wonderful night for Irish sport. They did us proud. Its up there with some of the best Irish sporting achievements ever IMO.
