May as well get the new thread started.

Coleraine have just knocked out Maribor on pens in the Europa League, that is an absolutely huge win.

Bala Town also got their first ever win in Europe by beating Valletta 1-0.

TNS also won in the Europa.

Great might for the Paddy's (English but Welsh when asked....sorry Pad)

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nothing ever came of that story about TNS wanting to move into the English system, so could have been a load of nonsense in the end.

They were seething for a while that the league got decided on PPG, might have tried throwing their weight around out of spite I suppose.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Shamrock Rovers won on pens, Bohemians (featuring Anto Breslin and Conor Levingston) lost on pens.

 

[WolfmanOz]

TNS ?

TNS ?

Play in the Welsh Premier League. Used to be called Total Network Solutions because of their sponsor but they changed their name to The New Saints to keep the "TNS" abbreviation, after the sponsors left.

Didn't we sign a young lad from TNS a few years back. Jake Cassidy is the name that pops into my head?

Edit - Nope different club.

The mighty Airbus UK Broughton who he made zero league appearances for. He joined them from Llandudno, played a few pre-season games and then joined us

We had Paul Harrison for a short while who then went on to join TNS and he's still there now. Played over 400 games for them.

Smallest keeper ever! (well not ever, but he wasn't very big..)

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Smallest top division keeper I remember was Laurie Sivell at 5 ft 8 for Ipswich and then Paul Cooper at 5 ft 9

Surely the shortest international keeper was Mexico’s flamboyant Campos who was between 5 ft 6 and 5ft 7 depending on what site you look at

Oompa Loompa dippidy do I have another chipped goal for you.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

A few days without football and I've caved to watch Latvia vs Andorra.

I'm not even sorry either.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

No goals - so I hope the red card made the game worth watching.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I appreciate the hope (there was a missed penalty too), but no :icon_lol:

Bulgaria vs Ireland isn't a whole lot better so far.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

You really know how to pick 'em!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ireland are playing marginally more football than they did under MON and Mick but they never look like scoring from open play. They're just very very limited.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

1-0 Bulgaria.

 

[Freddeno]

spain closer and closer to equalise
