For detailed view of the score click here
Salzburg barely even celebrate,they know they've got off the hook here, big time. A still shell-shocked home support slowly rise to applaud their boys off the pitch. They deserve it, bar a moment of craziness in defence they were awesome out there.
FULL TIME: Bohs 0 - 1 Salzburg - The Bohs player slump to the ground.
21.16... Murphy comes racing out of his box and looks to find his namesake Anto down the left, but his pass is too pacey and runs out of play. Jason McGuinness is playing as a striker. Seconds left.
21.15... It's now Salzburg who are hanging on. But they have a free-kick on the centre circle
21.14... THREE minutes to save the tie for Bohs. That goal was so, so cruel on Bohs.
21.14... The 4th official twiddles with his knobs. The injury time board is imminent
21.13... Corner Bohs. Good play by Cronin to win it. Ndo taking it, but it comes to nothing
21.11... What a mistake. 4 minutes remaining and Bohs have let the unspeakable happen....Sub Bohs, Mcguinness on for Rossiter. Bohs need a goal.
21.10...GOAL SALZBURG - Patrik Jezek - 86 minutes Disaster...Shambolic defending from Bohs.
21.10... Five minutes left...
21.09... Tchoyi is allowed to drive down the right and throws in a dangerous ball, but Murphy rises highest to catch it with Janko lurking
21.08... Standing ovation there for Byrne. he's put in a good shift down the right.
21.08... Jayo Byrne troops off to be replaced by Glenn Cronin. 6 to go.
21.07... 11 Bohemians players behind the ball. It's all Salzburg as Bohs look to keep what they have
21.07... The tension inside Dalymount Park right now is unreal. The tension everywhere watching this is unreal I expect. Nervous? I am!! Janko rises to meet another header from the right, but it's tame again and Murphy barely has to move to collect it
21.05... NINE minutes left.
21.04... 5,000 Bohemians hold their breath. Janko rises to meet a cross from the right, but he doesn't get enough on it and it drops harmlessly past Murphy's right hand post. Close call.
21.03... Excuse the bad jokes folks. It's just nerves. 11 minutes remaining here.
21.03... The ref must be reading this as the last few 50/50s have gone the way of the home side. Now, where did i leave that brown envelope?
21.02... Speaking of heroes? The name of Kevin Hunt is chanted around Dalymount. Boy, how he'd love to be out there tonight. But to be fair, Keegan and Deegan have been superb so far tonight.
21.00... The crowd, to a man, rise to their feet, to cheer their heroes on. The words: de-de-de, de-de-de, de-de-de, de-de-de, de-de-de... you know the one I'm on about right? You do, great.
20.58... The referee has gave some very strange decisions all night. Nothing major, yet, but alot of 50/50s have gone the way of the Austrians. The latest sees Anto Murphy penalised as he goes in man to man with the Salzburg right back
20.57... Final throw of the dice from Salzburg boss Huub Stevens. Cristoph Leitgeb is off, Robin Nelisse is on. Salzburg have gone 3 up top
20.55... 20 minutes to play. He's ok, after the obligitary leaving of the field he trots back on, fresh as a daisy. Do they still use the magic sponge? If so, it's worked a treat this time.
20.54... Gary Deegan took a sore one off the ball. There was no foul as the ref quite rightly played advantage, but Deegan is now getting treatment. The fans sing his name. He's been immense so far tonight.
20.51... That has brought the crowd - who have became very nervous over the past 10 minutes - alive once more
20.50... Best chance of the game for Bohs. One two between Byrne and Ndo sees Byrne get a sight of goal on the 18 yard line, but he fires a half volley straight at Gustafsson.
20.49... Sub for Bohs, Brennan off, Anto Murphy on. 65 gone
20.49... Ndo finally does and finds some space down the right, before throwing a hopeful cross into the box, but it's too high for Crowe.
20.48... Bohs just can't get out. Someone needs to get their foot on the ball.
20.47... Another Salzburg player finds his wings and flies into the action (see what i did there?). Admir Vladavic on, Sasa Ilic off. 63 mins gone.
20.46... Bohs need to relax, no composure on the ball.
20.45... Corner Salzburg. Svento swings it in, it's cleared back to him, he plays it to the back post, but the header is weak and Murphy collects
20.44... Bohs are playing a dangerous game. Still sitting way to deep and inviting Salzburg onto them. Not with 30 minutes still on the clock, lads.
20.42... Sub for Salzburg. Anderas Ulmer off, Patrik Jezek on. 58 mins gone.
20.40... Bohs looking rather shaky at the back, defending way too deep
20.39... Another chance to Salzburg. Tchoyi down the right, crosses into the area, but Shelley slashes it clear over the bar
20.38... Confusion between Keegan and Deegan inside their own box almost lets Janko in. But Murphy is alert and rushes out to smother the ball. Janko is then yellow carded for being to close to Murphy as he attempts to kick it clear.
20.36... Signs of frustration in the Austrian camp? Augustinuseen plays a free kick straight out of the park, much to the derision of his team mates.
20.35... Bohs have started ok this half. Ndo showing some neat footwork down the right.
20.33... Peter in Westmeath, you missed nothing. The News of the World girls came out all guns blazing, quite literally, with fire sticks the lot. But to be honest, i wasn't impressed. 6/10. I met a couple of them on my wayback from the toilet (good pee by the way, 9/10) and they actually don't look to impressive up close either. Maybe they they just got a bit too close to the naked flames.
20.32... 48 minutes gone now.
20.31... I thought someone down below had brought a mop to the game tonight. Alas, no, it's back of John Delaney's head.
20.30... Glen Crowe captains Bohemians tonight. Owen Heary, of course, is missing with a hamstring injury.
20.29... Second half is underway.
20.28... Both teams back, my fingers are flexed and ready for 45 minutes of updating. No changes I can see.
Peter, in Westmeath, emailed in Come on the Bohz, wish I was in Dalymount tonight!! And not just for the News of the World girls. Great coverage guys!!
Oh yes, you know it's a big game at Dalymount when these girls are in the building - the News of the World girls limber up on the sidelines.
The referee's whistle is met with rapturous applause by the Bohs faithful. Good showing so far by the home side. Fenlon looks fairly content as he trudges off the pitch. Time for some tea and toilet break!! I would imagine Red Bull will be a pretty frustrated bunch inside that ever so cramped away dressing room. Thoughts? Drop me an email.
20.13... HALF TIME - 0-0
20.12... Fenlon will be happy the way things have gone so far i would think. Marc Janko is lying in a heap in the centre of the pitch. Quiet night so far for the big striker.
20.11... 43 minutes gone now, as we approach half time.
20.08... 6 minutes til half time and Salzburg are passing it around their own half, looking for an opening.
20.07... I wonder where Johnny Logan is tonight? His biggest hit is being sung in the stands once more.
20.04... Tchoyi broke down the right there a few moments ago and floated in a superb cross, but it somehow evaded everyone. Much to the relief of the everyone in red and black.
20.03... Keegan flights it to back post and Byrne tumbles as he looks to meet it. The crowd shout penalty. The ref, well he quite clearly doesn't agree.
20.01... I'm starting to really need to urinate but there's no chance I'm getting out of here. I have a reporter from Uefa to my right and a guy on Twitter to my left. Twitter? Twit. Free kick Bohs.
19.59... Cristoph Leitgeb looks to set Somen Tchoyi free with a defence splitting ball but Powell expertly intercepts. Good job because Tchoyi was clean through.
19.58... Coming up to the 30 minute mark, and updating at a game I am finding is no walk in the park. I am not untired.
19.57... Brian Murphy comes for a corner but is nowhere near it, Augustinussen rises to meet it but thankfully for Bohs it's too high
19.56... Chance Salzburg on 27 minutes.
19.53... Salzburg pin Bohs back into their own half but some resolute defending sees the home side emerge unscathed as Jason Byrne blasts the ball clear. Bohs working incredibly hard when they don't have the ball.
19.52... Some Promo girls were handing out cans of Red Bull on the way in tonight. They offered me one, but I declined. The last time I drank that stuff I couldn't sleep for about three days. No sign of Des Kelly handing out any carpets though. Shame.

19.49... It's the Des Kelly stands turn to make some noise now as BOHS is chanted out letter by letter. I can only imagine what the noise will be like if Bohs score tonight.
19.48... Powell has started very well for Bohs and is enjoying great success down the left side. The young lad is coming of age before my eyes
19.47... Shelley sets Powell free down the left again and he fires in a cross which almost dips under the bar. The Salzburg 'keeper, Gustafsson, palms it over the bar. He had to, it was going in. The corner comes to nothing.
19.46... Bohs go close.... 17 mins gone. Corner Bohs. Brennan sends it in but it's a poor ball and fails to clear the first man.
19.45... Keegan swings it in, but the Salzburg keeper comes racing out to punch clear. The ref seen a foul and has given a free to Salzburg. Cue much booing from the home fans
19.44... Bohs corner. Audacious chip from Ndo to Powell down the line and his cross is blocked for a corner. The crowd comes alive once more
19.44... Good spell from Bohs, they're starting to settle now. Every good pass or tackle is met with cheers, every miss-placed ball with ahhhhhs. Bigger crowd, but same old Dalymount.
19.42... Long ball from Brian Murphy is headed down by Byrne and the ball eventually breaks to Ndo on the edge of the box but the ball is taken away form him before he can get shot away.
19.40... Bohs not giving Salzburg any time at all on the ball. Keegan and Deegan both charging around like men possessed to break up play.
19.39... But he leaves it for Brennan, who drives it in. Byrne peels off and somehow gets a head to it, but it's just too high and falls on to the roof of the net. First real chance for Bohs.
19.39... Dalymount looks great, it really does. If only league games were more like this. Another free-kick for Bohs inside Salzburg half.... Keegan again stands over it
19.38... Keegan swings it in, but it's straight at the keeper. chance gone. 9 minutes gone.
19.37... C'mon Boh-ez" rings around the Jodi. The crowd is really up for this. 12th man in operation. Free kick Bohs midway inside Salzburg half. Brennan fouled...
19.35... But Murphy is sharp as a button and off his line to collect with ease
19.35... Great crowd in. I'd say the Connaught Street stand is close to 1/3 full, while the other two stands are full to the brim. Corner to Salzburg.
19.34... It's scrappy stuff all round in the opening minutes. Fast and furious but nothing really of note since that header for Salzburg.
19.33... The press box at Dalymount doesn't know what has hit it. It's sardine stuff in here tonight... elbows in armpits and all that.
19.32... A lively start here in Dalymount.
19.31... Bohs are shooting right to left as I write, towards their own fans in the Des Kelly stand. Salzburg, obviously are shooting towards the Tramway End and those impressive flags
19.30... Ball is swung in to back post and Franz Heimer flashes a header narrowly wide. Close call for Bohs
19.30... We kicked off early and chance for salzburg inside 60 seconds
19.29... It's Dalymount Park, it's Champions League night, Crowe and Ndo stand over the ball on the centre spot. The noise of the whistle shreeks around the stadium and we're off. it's GAME ON!!!
19.28... Bohs two heroes from last week hug in the penalty area. Joseph Ndo of course grabbed the equaliser, while Brian Murphy saved a penalty and made a string of fine saves.
19.27... Ahhhhh yes, the Champions League music belts out as the two sides face the main stand. Bohs resplendent in Black and Red. Salzburg decked out in white shirts and socks and red socks That was spine tingling stuff.
19.27... Teams are out and the atmosphere is electric.
19.26... Bohs PRO Brian Trench really is a man of many talents. He's grabbed the mic and is addressing the 200 or so Austrian fans in the main stand...in German!

19.25... Hold Me Now is being belted out by the home fans... something tells me we'll be hearing this one quite a few times tonight. Teams due out very soon!!
19.23... The on pitch announcer has been tirelessly trying to whip up the crowd for the past 45 minutes and it's working. Everyone seems bang up for this one. The Jodi is full, while the Des Kelly stand is filling nicely. There's also a good smattering of brave souls in the uncovered Connaught Street stand, while the unused terracing behind the goal to my right is decked out completely with flags. Really quite a sight... why can't it be like this every week?!
19.20... It's thrown it down pretty much solid for the past hour, but I'm now looking out a sun kissed Dalymount Park. There are more grey clouds on the horizon, but lets hope they stay away. The teams have completed their warm ups and are now back inside their respective dressing rooms. The pitch looks immaculate and the atmosphere is really building. Nine minutes to go!
19.16... And here they are... Red Bull Salzburg: Douglas Gustafsson; Milan Dudic, Christian Schwegler, Thomas Augustinussen, Somen Tchoyi, Franz Schiemer, Anderas Ulmer, Dusan Svento, Marc Janko, Sasa Ilic, Christoph Leitgeb
Subs: Heinz Arzberger, Mejdi Traoui, Robin Nelisse, Patrik Jezek, Barry Opdam, Admir Vladavic, Rene Aufhauser
19.12... Ok folks, the Bohemians starting eleven is: Brian Murphy; Conor Powell, Ken Oman, Brian Shelley, Mark Rossiter; Killian Brennan, Gary Deegan, Paul Keegan, Joseph Ndo, Jason Byrne; Glen Crowe
And on the bench for the Gypsies are... Matt Gregg, Jason McGuinness, Anthony Murphy, Neale Fenn, Patrick Madden, Glenn Cronin, Ryan McEvoy
Red Bull Salzburg team news to follow in just a second...
19.01... Under thirty minutes to go now before kick-off now. Nervous? We will have all the news from the ground very shortly.
SkStu, in Canada, emailed in SkStu here from Canada. Have managed to convince my colleagues to take a late lunch so will be able to follow the game guilt free via extratime and maybe even a quick stream... Brickin myself here! - Well Stu cheers for the mail, we will be here brickin it with ya!! Anyone further afield than Canada? Email us!!
18.42... It is a crying shame that RTE television has failed to carry this game. They are carrying "Two Wild: Prehistoric Predators" and "Two Wild: Humpbacks: Cracking the Code" instead.
18.28... Just over an hour to go now to kick off. The excitement building. Exmail us your expectations and thoughts on the game at extratimelive@gmail.com
17.45... Since last Wednesday night's game, both sides have played a home league match, with Bohemians recording their eighth home league win of the season when beating Derry City 1-0. Fenlon's side have only conceded two goals at home in the league so far, none since Davin O'Neill's strike at the start of April. Salzburg, on the other hand, kicked off their campaign with a home win, although they didn't have it all their own way against Austria Vienna, requiring a last minute Tchoyi goal to nick all three points after they had trailed at half time.
17.10... For those of you interested in making a few extra euros for yourselves tonight, these are the current match odds:
Bohemians @ 7/2......Draw @ 5/2......Salzburg @ 7/10 (courtesy of Paddy Power)
Bohemians are 9/4 to qualify, with the Austrians 1/3 to go through. Goalscorer from the first leg, Joseph Ndo, is 14/1 to open the scoring tonight, 9/2 to net anytime, while Salzburg's "goal-machine" Marc Janko is 4/1 to net first and 11/10 to score at any time during tonight's game. The fingernail-reducing 0-0 draw is on offer at a tempting 13/1.
17.01... After a ten minute downpour, the sun is once again shining in Dublin city centre and, according to the cheery souls over at the Met Office, those attending tonights game could be in luck. The Met Eireann website states: Mostly dry tonight. Moderate southwest breezes. Lowest temperatures 11 to 13 degrees. Good news for those fans with tickets for the uncovered Conaught Street stand, that's for sure. Kick off is getting closer folks... just 2.5 hours to go! Time for that banana.
16.02... Our national broadcaster may not want to know about this one tonight, but fear not as extratime.ie will be in Dalymount Park from just after 6pm this evening bringing you all the latest from inside the ground. The team lineups will be posted here as soon as we have them too. 3.5 hours to go now!
15.37... We've had a message in from the Red Windmill pub in Phibsboro asking us to let all fans know that they will be offering free finger food on every table from 6pm tonight for all Bohs supporters. Anyone else now got a craving for a sausage roll? Certainly sounds more appealling than the mouldy banana i've got sitting on my desk. It's been there since Friday, but needs must.
15.25... It's getting closer, but still just over four hours 'til kick off. If Bohemians are to overcome Salzburg then one man they will have to stop tonight is striker Marc Janko. The lanky striker scored goals for fun last season, but has came in for a bit of stick from the Austrian media over the past week after he missed a penalty in the first leg against Bohs and then also drew a blank in the club's opening league fixture at the weekend. Janko doesn't appear overly concerned though and has fired what could be an ominous warning to Bohs. "It is only a matter of time [before I score again]. Eventually it will swing back, " he said.
14.10... Well, the clock continues to tick down and kick off is just a little less than five and a half hours away. A bumper crowd is expected at Dalymount Park tonight and among them will be around 190 Red Bull Salzburg fans. I bumped into a couple of them on O'Connell Street this morning and they were in little doubt that their side would win tonight. What do the Bohs fans out there think will happen?

19.52... Some Promo girls were handing out cans of Red Bull on the way in tonight. They offered me one, but I declined. The last time I drank that stuff I couldn't sleep for about three days. No sign of Des Kelly handing out any carpets though. Shame.

19.49... It's the Des Kelly stands turn to make some noise now as BOHS is chanted out letter by letter. I can only imagine what the noise will be like if Bohs score tonight.
19.48... Powell has started very well for Bohs and is enjoying great success down the left side. The young lad is coming of age before my eyes
19.47... Shelley sets Powell free down the left again and he fires in a cross which almost dips under the bar. The Salzburg 'keeper, Gustafsson, palms it over the bar. He had to, it was going in. The corner comes to nothing.
19.46... Bohs go close.... 17 mins gone. Corner Bohs. Brennan sends it in but it's a poor ball and fails to clear the first man.
19.45... Keegan swings it in, but the Salzburg keeper comes racing out to punch clear. The ref seen a foul and has given a free to Salzburg. Cue much booing from the home fans
19.44... Bohs corner. Audacious chip from Ndo to Powell down the line and his cross is blocked for a corner. The crowd comes alive once more
19.44... Good spell from Bohs, they're starting to settle now. Every good pass or tackle is met with cheers, every miss-placed ball with ahhhhhs. Bigger crowd, but same old Dalymount.
19.42... Long ball from Brian Murphy is headed down by Byrne and the ball eventually breaks to Ndo on the edge of the box but the ball is taken away form him before he can get shot away.
19.40... Bohs not giving Salzburg any time at all on the ball. Keegan and Deegan both charging around like men possessed to break up play.
19.39... But he leaves it for Brennan, who drives it in. Byrne peels off and somehow gets a head to it, but it's just too high and falls on to the roof of the net. First real chance for Bohs.
19.39... Dalymount looks great, it really does. If only league games were more like this. Another free-kick for Bohs inside Salzburg half.... Keegan again stands over it
19.38... Keegan swings it in, but it's straight at the keeper. chance gone. 9 minutes gone.
19.37... C'mon Boh-ez" rings around the Jodi. The crowd is really up for this. 12th man in operation. Free kick Bohs midway inside Salzburg half. Brennan fouled...
19.35... But Murphy is sharp as a button and off his line to collect with ease
19.35... Great crowd in. I'd say the Connaught Street stand is close to 1/3 full, while the other two stands are full to the brim. Corner to Salzburg.
19.34... It's scrappy stuff all round in the opening minutes. Fast and furious but nothing really of note since that header for Salzburg.
19.33... The press box at Dalymount doesn't know what has hit it. It's sardine stuff in here tonight... elbows in armpits and all that.
19.32... A lively start here in Dalymount.
19.31... Bohs are shooting right to left as I write, towards their own fans in the Des Kelly stand. Salzburg, obviously are shooting towards the Tramway End and those impressive flags
19.30... Ball is swung in to back post and Franz Heimer flashes a header narrowly wide. Close call for Bohs
19.30... We kicked off early and chance for salzburg inside 60 seconds
19.29... It's Dalymount Park, it's Champions League night, Crowe and Ndo stand over the ball on the centre spot. The noise of the whistle shreeks around the stadium and we're off. it's GAME ON!!!
19.28... Bohs two heroes from last week hug in the penalty area. Joseph Ndo of course grabbed the equaliser, while Brian Murphy saved a penalty and made a string of fine saves.
19.27... Ahhhhh yes, the Champions League music belts out as the two sides face the main stand. Bohs resplendent in Black and Red. Salzburg decked out in white shirts and socks and red socks That was spine tingling stuff.
19.27... Teams are out and the atmosphere is electric.
19.26... Bohs PRO Brian Trench really is a man of many talents. He's grabbed the mic and is addressing the 200 or so Austrian fans in the main stand...in German!

19.25... Hold Me Now is being belted out by the home fans... something tells me we'll be hearing this one quite a few times tonight. Teams due out very soon!!
19.23... The on pitch announcer has been tirelessly trying to whip up the crowd for the past 45 minutes and it's working. Everyone seems bang up for this one. The Jodi is full, while the Des Kelly stand is filling nicely. There's also a good smattering of brave souls in the uncovered Connaught Street stand, while the unused terracing behind the goal to my right is decked out completely with flags. Really quite a sight... why can't it be like this every week?!
19.20... It's thrown it down pretty much solid for the past hour, but I'm now looking out a sun kissed Dalymount Park. There are more grey clouds on the horizon, but lets hope they stay away. The teams have completed their warm ups and are now back inside their respective dressing rooms. The pitch looks immaculate and the atmosphere is really building. Nine minutes to go!
19.16... And here they are... Red Bull Salzburg: Douglas Gustafsson; Milan Dudic, Christian Schwegler, Thomas Augustinussen, Somen Tchoyi, Franz Schiemer, Anderas Ulmer, Dusan Svento, Marc Janko, Sasa Ilic, Christoph Leitgeb
Subs: Heinz Arzberger, Mejdi Traoui, Robin Nelisse, Patrik Jezek, Barry Opdam, Admir Vladavic, Rene Aufhauser
19.12... Ok folks, the Bohemians starting eleven is: Brian Murphy; Conor Powell, Ken Oman, Brian Shelley, Mark Rossiter; Killian Brennan, Gary Deegan, Paul Keegan, Joseph Ndo, Jason Byrne; Glen Crowe
And on the bench for the Gypsies are... Matt Gregg, Jason McGuinness, Anthony Murphy, Neale Fenn, Patrick Madden, Glenn Cronin, Ryan McEvoy
Red Bull Salzburg team news to follow in just a second...
19.01... Under thirty minutes to go now before kick-off now. Nervous? We will have all the news from the ground very shortly.
SkStu, in Canada, emailed in SkStu here from Canada. Have managed to convince my colleagues to take a late lunch so will be able to follow the game guilt free via extratime and maybe even a quick stream... Brickin myself here! - Well Stu cheers for the mail, we will be here brickin it with ya!! Anyone further afield than Canada? Email us!!
18.42... It is a crying shame that RTE television has failed to carry this game. They are carrying "Two Wild: Prehistoric Predators" and "Two Wild: Humpbacks: Cracking the Code" instead.
18.28... Just over an hour to go now to kick off. The excitement building. Exmail us your expectations and thoughts on the game at extratimelive@gmail.com
17.45... Since last Wednesday night's game, both sides have played a home league match, with Bohemians recording their eighth home league win of the season when beating Derry City 1-0. Fenlon's side have only conceded two goals at home in the league so far, none since Davin O'Neill's strike at the start of April. Salzburg, on the other hand, kicked off their campaign with a home win, although they didn't have it all their own way against Austria Vienna, requiring a last minute Tchoyi goal to nick all three points after they had trailed at half time.
17.10... For those of you interested in making a few extra euros for yourselves tonight, these are the current match odds:
Bohemians @ 7/2......Draw @ 5/2......Salzburg @ 7/10 (courtesy of Paddy Power)
Bohemians are 9/4 to qualify, with the Austrians 1/3 to go through. Goalscorer from the first leg, Joseph Ndo, is 14/1 to open the scoring tonight, 9/2 to net anytime, while Salzburg's "goal-machine" Marc Janko is 4/1 to net first and 11/10 to score at any time during tonight's game. The fingernail-reducing 0-0 draw is on offer at a tempting 13/1.
17.01... After a ten minute downpour, the sun is once again shining in Dublin city centre and, according to the cheery souls over at the Met Office, those attending tonights game could be in luck. The Met Eireann website states: Mostly dry tonight. Moderate southwest breezes. Lowest temperatures 11 to 13 degrees. Good news for those fans with tickets for the uncovered Conaught Street stand, that's for sure. Kick off is getting closer folks... just 2.5 hours to go! Time for that banana.
16.02... Our national broadcaster may not want to know about this one tonight, but fear not as extratime.ie will be in Dalymount Park from just after 6pm this evening bringing you all the latest from inside the ground. The team lineups will be posted here as soon as we have them too. 3.5 hours to go now!
15.37... We've had a message in from the Red Windmill pub in Phibsboro asking us to let all fans know that they will be offering free finger food on every table from 6pm tonight for all Bohs supporters. Anyone else now got a craving for a sausage roll? Certainly sounds more appealling than the mouldy banana i've got sitting on my desk. It's been there since Friday, but needs must.
15.25... It's getting closer, but still just over four hours 'til kick off. If Bohemians are to overcome Salzburg then one man they will have to stop tonight is striker Marc Janko. The lanky striker scored goals for fun last season, but has came in for a bit of stick from the Austrian media over the past week after he missed a penalty in the first leg against Bohs and then also drew a blank in the club's opening league fixture at the weekend. Janko doesn't appear overly concerned though and has fired what could be an ominous warning to Bohs. "It is only a matter of time [before I score again]. Eventually it will swing back, " he said.
14.10... Well, the clock continues to tick down and kick off is just a little less than five and a half hours away. A bumper crowd is expected at Dalymount Park tonight and among them will be around 190 Red Bull Salzburg fans. I bumped into a couple of them on O'Connell Street this morning and they were in little doubt that their side would win tonight. What do the Bohs fans out there think will happen?
