I think two or three Coleraine players were unable to travel
because of work commitments.

Feast your eyes on this people, I can only imagine that this is
the first and only time that the Irish League has ever ranked on
any scale as top in Europe.

Coleraine were brilliant, so organised and really took the game
to Maribor. I thought O'Donnell, Canning and Kane were
excellent.
Their next opposition will probably be a really big club, so
very likely to be the end of the road. But at least NI's
coefficient has been given a welcome boost.

[/quote]Two because of work (inc. Curtis Allen), another
injured.
What impressed me was their endurance. I thought from watching
on TV in the IC Semi and the other EL game that some of their
players are carrying weight (eg Bradley), even compared with
other IL teams.
But for part-timers to go 2 hours and a shoot-out against a f-t
Maribor team was astonishing.
And Oran Kearney certainly looks to have something about him as
a manager, meaning that he moves up a place in the "Ealing Green
List of Future NI Managers" -

Good draw for Coleraine. Motherwell have not started the season
well and from most reports I've read the Glens were doing well
until the red card and maybe should have scored before
Motherwell did.

Decent draw for Linfield as well. Should be confident ahead of
it

[/quote]I listened to a bit of the commentary for the Well v
Glens game and there's no doubt, the sending-off made a big
difference. One Scottish journo even posted that the Glens were
the better side until the red card.
After a very poor start to the season you might have expected
Motherwell to have shown some recent signs of improvement, esp
with the lift of going through in Europe, but yesterday's 3-0
defeat against a Celtic team with one or two troubles of its own
may suggest otherwise.
A (just) winnable draw for Coleraine, I'd have said.

Coleraine unlucky tonight. A great comeback and another
fantastic effort against a full time club. Only denied in the
end by a fingertip save by Trevor Carson, and then Carson's
penalty save heroics
