By beating BATE Borisov, Dundalk earn £5m and a fighting chance…

From Gerard Griffin: our other team ..

We live in Highbury but spend a lot of time in Ireland.

Our home team Dundalk beat Bate earning 5 million pounds and chance to progress to Champions League.

To know what football truly means – you would have had to listen to the local radio coverage last night :Our winger is ‘working his arse off …’Our central defenders are ‘like the bouncers in Ridley’s [local night club] … you can’t get past them ….and so on.

In the Cirque du Soleil that is the Premier League – let us not forget what makes football great.

Myles says: 

In the UEFA Champions League Play-off round their opponents will be Czech champions Plzen, Cypriot champions APOEL Nicosia, Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg, Polish champions Legia Warsaw and Scottish champions Celtic.

With the luck of the Irish, anything is possible.
