KillkieBoab Posted August 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Next question. Is Coleraine's victory (5-4 on pens), their greatest result since they were at Rugby Park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey Repatriated Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Yes it was a right rubbish of stream the CQN away game with no relays etc. Kind of matched the performance I guess!

Wrangodog Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Would be gutted if I was a Motherwell fan missing a trip to Ireland or an Aberdeen fan not getting to go to Stavanger. Worst of all must be Shamrock Rovers fans missing out on a visit by AC Milan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Watched the last ten minutes of Coleraine v Motherwell. Game in the bag and Motherwell give Coleraine a lifeline, complete panic stations. Motherwell concede a penalty and have a man sent off in the last minute. Glad I didn't watch from the start the football would give the juniors a bad name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two penalties but Coleraine good value for it. Well's bottle completely gone. The ball will require medical attention. It got blootered from end to end for much of the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much time did they waste in this one? Bitterness aside they do seem to be playing a bit more football this season than last.

piffer Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Sporting Lisbon in the next round for Aberdeen Well play Hapoel Be'er Sheva interesting comments from the Nomads manager. Don’t think this will sit well with authorities Manager Andy Morrison says Connah's Quay Nomads "had to turn a blind eye" to players who turned up feeling unwell for their Europa League qualifying defeat by Dinamo Tbilisi. The game went ahead despite four players having tested positive for Covid-19 beforehand. The quartet and a fifth player, who has yet to test positive, are in self-isolation. "Three lads have turned up tonight and they're not well," said Morrison. "And it's like 'lads I don't want to hear it. I can't hear it tonight that you're ill, please like you know. Let's just get through it'. "I've been told that before the game and we've had to turn a blind eye to it and then you would have never noticed that anyone there tonight wasn't feeling great." Three players had been confirmed as having tested positive for coronavirus before the second qualifying round game. Nomads lost 1-0 to a late Giorgi Gabedava penalty at Wrexham's Racecourse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I don’t understand. How on earth could the game have gone ahead if players had tested positive?

Wrangodog Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Are the Scottish teams drawn away because of seeding or just random bad luck ?

Following Thursday night's slender 1-0 defeat to the Georgian side, Nomads manager Andy Morrison appeared to suggest the club ignored the fact three players were feeling unwell. Prior to the game, it was revealed that three Nomads players had tested positive for coronavirus and were self-isolating. In an interview after the game, Morrison said: “Three lads have turned up tonight and they’re not well. And it’s like ‘lads, I don’t want to hear it. I can’t hear it tonight that you’re ill… let’s just get through it’. “I’ve been told that before the game and we’ve had to turn a blind eye to it and then you would have never noticed that anyone there tonight wasn’t feeling great.” However, the club says his comments have been misconstrued to mean he was referring to players displaying symptoms of Covid-19, which is "categorically untrue". The Nomads state that "a number of players had suffered from isolated pre-match upset stomach and headaches" likely down to "nerves due to being thrust into the starting lineup of such a high profile fixture". North Wales Police says it is "aware" of the "public concern" around the match. A spokesperson for the force said: "We have been working closely with partners in the local authority, the Football Association of Wales and Public Health Wales to ensure the matter in fully investigated and appropriate action is taken to maintain and secure public safety. "Our colleagues in Public Health Wales will lead this work and NWP will continue to support them in any way we can." A Connah's Quay Nomads club statement said: "Ahead of kick off, it was public knowledge that we had received three positive Covid tests with one additional player showing symptoms with all four being immediately self-isolated. "On Thursday, our backroom staff worked diligently alongside Public Health Wales, FAW and UEFA to ensure that the fixture would go ahead with all three governing bodies acknowledging that the club had followed all required protocol. "This included all of our available matchday squad and staff completing the industry recognised Benchmark54 App before midday of the game which asks an 11 question questionnaire regarding health and Covid symptoms - all of these came back negative. Additionally, everyone was temperature checked upon arrival at the stadium. "In a post-match interview with various media outlets, manager, Andy Morrison used the term "turned a blind eye" which has unfortunately been misconstrued by many to mean that as a club we ignored Covid regulations. "We would like to go on record and say that this is categorically untrue and that what the manager was referring to was a number of players who may not have played had we had a fully fit squad. "Morrison clarified this in a tweet on his own personal Twitter account, indicating that a number of players had suffered from isolated pre-match upset stomach and headaches likely down to nerves due to being thrust into the starting lineup of such a high profile fixture." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Disappointing to see Aberdeen and Motherwell go out, so we are now depending on the great unwashed of both varieties to improve our co-efficient. The result of the night must be Klaksvik of the Faroes beating Dinamo Tbilisi of Georgia 6-1. Dinamo had beaten our nemesis Connah's Quay in the previous round. So now either Dundalk or Klaksvik will be in the group stage. No guarantee that Sevco will make the group stage against Galatasary or Celtic against Sarajevo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
