Anyone watching?

A fantastic open game, currently 1-1 on aggregate after 15 minutes of extra time.

APOEL fans have been outstanding throughout.

Thanks for making the thread! Watching now, anyone know what the crowd is?

APOEL down to 10, harsh second yellow.

Looking like penalties. Mon APOEL!!! To see a team from a country like Cyprus at this stage is fantastic. :agree: Take note Motherwell. :greengrin

APOEL started their European campaign in July in Albania, they are now a penalty shoot-out away from the quarter-finals.

Fair play to them, what an adventure. Amazing to think that such a small country has a team this far still in the competition.

Been too a few APOEL games over the years. Supporters bus leaves Happy Jacks in Limassol. Always a good trip and made to feel welcome. Did have to go through airport scanners to get into a game against a Israeli side once.

[frazeHFC]

That silence was unreal! Mon APOEL!

[nonshinyfinish]

No surprise there, guy knows his way around a dead ball.

[frazeHFC]

Aww so unlucky. :boo hoo:

[nonshinyfinish]

Good penalties so far, the jammy rebound aside.

[frazeHFC]

Saved!

[nonshinyfinish]

Chiotis saves!

[Dunbar Hibee]

Brilliant :thumbsup:

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Really enjoyed myself over there for the Scotland game, would go back again anytime!

I appreciate that Messi will dominate the headlines tomorrow after yet another astonishing performance and generally being amazing at football, but a club of this size reaching the quarter-finals of a tournament that is basically rigged against teams like them really ought to be the top story.

[cockneymike]

i think i heard on the commentary that they had 42000 there - great effort.

No chance the ground holds around 22k max

[blackpoolhibs]

Anyone see the sub or ball boy jump on the pile of players after the last penalty save, and miss? :faf:

[Hibernia&Alba]

What an achievement for a Cypriot team. The club will make a fortune from this run.

Agree completely. They have an avg gate of under 10000 and their record transfer fee is £800k. Comparable to Hibs, and theyre in the quarters of the Champions League. Superb.
