Steaua from Romania who are only seen as slight favourites, We were the lowest ranked team by a mile left but lady luck smiled on us and gave us the lowest ranked seeded team in Steaua lets hope my boys are up for it!.

2-2 draw is an amazing result away from home but it could have been better after *** scored in the 83rd minute i thought we had won the match but it wasnt to be as they hit back almost immediately but 2 away goals gives us the advantage!

Shaun Kelly wins it for us! The RB who im yet to see miss a penalty gave an amazing display with our defensive tactic paying off as Steaua tried to break us down but failed as we reach the Champions League Group Stages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We get given £7.5million for appearing in the Group Stages and i literally passed out

That money has secured the clubs future for ever! I cant believe only a few days before i lost Richie Towell at the end of his contract because i couldnt pay him £900 a week!
This will change everything the first thing i will do is ask to go professional which is now an option which we never had before. It means we can train more sign better players sign contracts for more than 2 years upgrade training and youth facilities.
It almost gurantees that *** and Coughlan wont be nabbed from us as i will tie them down to massive long term deals.
We can also look into building a new stadium and i can add some serious first team depth to this squad which has played so many games this season already!
Finally we get one of the hardest groups going but the Dream tie for most Irish people as we will be going to Old Trafford!
