Quotes corner

Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley: “I watched the Derry game (in Lithuania) on Tuesday night. If it’s two legs they go through - you take them back and you win the game.

“You can have the same argument for Dundalk, are they happy with the 1-0 and take it back to Oriel? So it changes the mentality of the whole tie.

“I don’t think it will change their (Ilves Tampere) mentality but overall it makes it more exciting and when you get those chances you’ve got to take them.”
