AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've loved the first round of the Champions League ever since I got evens on Montenegro's first entrants away to (I think) the San Marino champions. Like printing money. Three away wins seems a banker here tho'?

craigkillie Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Only the second victory for an Andorran side in a European match - the other was also by Santa Coloma, who beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-0 in their first leg in 2007/08, before losing 4-0 in the second leg.

craigkillie Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I watched a bit of it on the Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation website. Lincoln took the lead through a penalty, and HB equalised with about 20 minutes to go. Lincoln held their own pretty well - HB probably had more of the game but it was fairly even and I wouldn't say there was a great deal between the sides.

craigkillie Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Only the second victory for an Andorran side in a European match - the other was also by Santa Coloma, who beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-0 in their first leg in 2007/08, before losing 4-0 in the second leg. Amazing scenes in the second leg. Santa Coloma took an early lead, but conceded 3 times to trail 3-2 on aggregate going into stoppage time, but then their goalkeeper popped up with a goal in the 95th minute to send them through. Surely the greatest victory in the history of Andorran football - the only previous win from an Andorran side over 2 legs came against a San Marinese side on penalties.

lichtie23 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Decent enough start by TNS. Still nil-nil. English commentary on red button. Lino is giving them nothing. Twice they should have had 1 on 1's with the keeper but it's been wrongly flagged Just looks a matter of time before Slovan score to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
