That was weird and unexpected :w Skenderbeu facing the Moldovan team might be a good news , if they manage to get past them then it's at least Europa League groups guaranteed.

If they loose they go into the playoff round of the Europa league. So regardless the result of next game they have another team to play in the play off of Europe league. Will the game next week be played at Elbasan Arena? I think skenderbeu stadium only fulfills the requirement for this round.

Can you get any more amateur than these teams? Who the f*** blows a 2-1 lead to lose in the extra time? Gut wrenching.

Dude, it was not amateur. Plain and simple the game got fixed after we went ahead 2-1. On the betting websites on the 80th min when the games was 2-1 for us the odds for 2 more goals in the next 10min was like 1.8 which is unheard off. Usually the odds are around 4 at that time. And this is from a betting forum from an north Ireland fan who was at the stadium.
I was at the game my friend.

Basically from around about the 86th minute I noticed the Albanians giving the ball away, not closing the Crusaders players down and basically not looking interested. The whole game Skenderbeu comfortably dealt with headers and crosses into the box (as that's all Crusaders were doing) then suddenly they forget. Aye right!

Just to confirm in that last 5 or so minutes.

-Crusaders hit the post with a header
-Had a goal ruled out for offside
-Hit the bar after a goal mouth scramble. One of the defenders pretty much passing the ball out to the attacker who put it onto the bar through incompetence.
Scored 2 goals.

Incredibly there were even other times that the goalkeeper had no choice but to pick up a loose ball and then quickly (remember 2-1 up) through the ball out wide to a Crusaders player.

Smh this mentality is why Albanian teams never qualify. Just pissing goals away for a few quick bucks. I bet Shkembi told his cousins to bet on Crusaders winning probably got mad at Berisha for scoring(I'm just using Shkembi as a scapegoat here lol)

Couldn't catch the game but I'm assuming Berisha(the albanian shaqiri) had another good performance? I think he's warranted a call up for the NT. Could be a good spark plug off the bench if we need a goal.

A lot of N. Irish fans are calling for Skenderbeu to be investigated. It'll be hilarious if they get banned for match fixing a tie they won.

update: Apparently the match wasn't televised. This is just :?

That's a potentially scary thought,, Legia was disqualified last year for fielding an ineligible player against Celtic despite thrashing them on the aggregate although that's a bit different as that was a clear violation of the rules. Are they going to have reasonable evidence that Skenderbeu fixed the match? Probably not.
