The Big Fat European Latest Thread

[brendy_éire]

Could be a while waiting for Pats to come out.... Will they have a 'representative' there?.... not many ladies present.... Looks like an all male schoolteachers's union AGM.

UEFA rules state you have to have a representitive at the draw.

[bigmac]

He's saying why have the pots, not the seeding.

Taxi :o

too busy looking at tv and being cynical....

pots are to prevent teams from the same country drawing each other.

[Raheny Red]

Whos the lad with the Scottish accent?

Some Scottish lad.

All clubs are present - the guy commented on this at the start - said they were all there except Sparta Prague, and then somebody informed him that the Prague lads had made it in time after all... :D

[Dunny]

Here we go.

[longfordjames]

On Pats bowl

[pineapple stu]

Must have been some nightmare for Pat's, out in Samara, to realise they had to spot in in Switzerland on the way home! Can see phone calls to a random number in Nyon - will you represent us, please? :p

Villa gone.

[longfordjames]

Not Villa

[Jofspring]

sickned

[longfordjames]

[passinginterest]

[brendy_éire]

Very tough draw.

[eirebhoy]

1st leg away.

[baddebt]

Steau Bucherest

[blackholesun]

they got steaeu bucharest!

[pól-dcfc]

Hope they avoid Steau.
Wouldnt sell out and unlikely to get through.Villa would be great for fans.

You jinxing *******!

[Jofspring]

Steaua looked happy with that. Hopefully St.Pats can wipe the smile off their face.

[pineapple stu]

Anyone hear who Pat's got?

[shelsfan1]

Tough draw but could easily pick up somethin at home

[pól-dcfc]

Anyone hear who Pat's got?

Steau Bucharest

Away first
;)

[longfordjames]

Anyone hear who Pat's got?

Steau away first.

[irishultra]

they didn't get the most attractive of pots. genoa or aston villa would have been good and steau are just gonna win.

[baddebt]

at least real romanian woman are hot , so Pat's fans should enjoy the trip

[jinxy lilywhite]

I don't think pats have anything to fear from them. If steaua think they just need to turn up and they'll roll over I'd fancy pat's.

An unglamourous tie but they have a decent chance of an upset

[Straightstory]

Probably the worst draw they could have got. Best of luck to them, anyway... First leg away for Pat's?

[HarpoJoyce]

Dinamo Buchresti drawn at home aswell so that may let St. pats off the hook.

[Rovers Maniac]

Pats did not deserve that draw after yesterday, tough draw and could not near as lucrative as they would have hoped if the Romanians put the game to bed in the first leg.

[paul_oshea]

lads 1st leg away if they can score away which they seem well capable of doing there is every chance with this draw. shels pushed them close before.....not the best but not the worst in terms of making the breakthrough that LOI clubs deserve after the last few years.

[ndrog]

as opposed to pretend ones ? wtf :eek:

[OneRedArmy]

Dinamo Buchresti drawn at home aswell so that may let St. pats off the hook.What particular hook might that be?

[irishultra]

as opposed to pretend ones ? wtf :eek:

prob reffering to roma as in they don't somehow count as 'real' romanians(if indeed they were born there)

[exiled_gufc_fan]

Pats did not deserve that draw after yesterday, tough draw and could not near as lucrative as they would have hoped if the Romanians put the game to bed in the first leg.

It will be an interesting comparison with the SPL whichever way it goes - Motherwell were beaten 6-1 on aggregate by Steau in the last round! (3-0 and 3-1)

[Boo_Boy]

If Pats win I will never let my haggis eating scottish friend hear the end of it, Motherwell were hammered by them last round.

They bet Shels 4-1

[baddebt]

as opposed the romanians people that live in Ireland :p

[brendy_éire]

Anyone hear who Pat's got?

Well played.

[irishultra]

not really though, because didn't motherwell finish third in spl(and yeah i know pat's finished high as well) but i doubt motherwell have had their entire squad cut drastically, plus losing their best player by a mile.

[Raheny Red]

They are just a bunch of racists. They got fined for abusing Fleming and Ndo when we played them over there.

[irishultra]

ye i remember that well.

[paul_oshea]

They bet Shels 4-1

ah ya i was thinking hadjuk split the round before which they won wasn;'t it.

But didnt shels score an away goal to lose 3 -1, Byrne scored a fumble into the net..?! Anyway fair enough my point doesn't mean much :D doh.

[sligoman]

Motherwell's game with Bucharest is on Eurosport now if anyone wants to see them.

[Raheny Red]

They were different seasons.

[Boo_Boy]

Are Steaua the team that refuse to sign black players because their fans would riot or is that another team from central europe?. Saw it on a TV show a few months ago.
