For every League of Ireland fan who puts up with the ignorance of so many critics of the domestic game, this is our moment:

Stephen O'Donnell nets penalty to create Irish soccer history in Belgrade

            In an aptly partisan setting; Dublin's Shamrock Rovers battled for their lives against Partizan Belgrade; forcing the home side into extra-time of this Europa League final qualifying round.  Rovers dominated vast portions of the game after Belgrade went ahead 10 minutes before half-time with a Volkov header coming from a corner; but came back to secure one of the most famous victories in Irish soccer history.

Rovers celebrate history made by world class Sullivan goal

For League of Ireland fans who put up with so many ignorant critics of the domestic game, this is our moment              
          At the start of the second half; manager Michael O'Neill changed to an attacking 4-3-2-1  formation and brought on striker Karl Sheppard for Billy Dennehy.  O'Neill's positivity was rewarded almost immediately as a Chris Turner header hit the post.  Ten minutes into the second half;  the Hoops were rewarded with one of the best goals you're likely to see all season;  Pat Sullivan slamming home a first-time volley into the corner of the net from 30 yards out.  And for every League of Ireland fan who puts up with the ignorance of so many critics of the domestic game, point to this moment. 

Man of the Moment Sullivan chaired from the pitch at the end

           Rovers deservedly held out for extra-time but were under the cosh when the hosts thumped the inside of the post and had serious claims for a penalty in the first half of extra-time.  However, early in the second half of extra-time; Rovers won a penalty and when Stephen O'Donnell netted the Dubliners were effectively through.  Amazing scenes in the stands followed as the 50 hardcore travelling fans welcomed a result to rival Ireland's qualification for the 1990 World Cup.
