If it's possible to have a regret from one of the biggest nights in the lifetime of a club, it was the silence. On a normal night, the Dublin 4 area would have been filled with Louth accents for this game in the play-off round. One of those mask-wearing stewards was the father of Dubliner Daniel Cleary, one of Dundalk's heroes and goalscorers on the day. The path to the group stages this season was kinder, opposition from Andorra, Moldova and now the Faroe Islands all swatted away. He came shrouded in doubt but left last night a hero.
