Champions League/Europa League draws 2010

What stadium is the Juve v Rovers game in?

Stadio Alberto Braglia. Its a 20,000 seater, Modena FC's ground. Not sure if that'll be big enough for all the hoops travelling but its the best they can do thanks to Bono's antics...

The picture there is a bit old I think, its had a facelift and is fully covered.

"Model Club" may get more help from Uefa this time it seems ;)

And from the same article maybe a few lessons for the Bohs board from Mr Roche - don't budget for euro games you might not qualify for
Firstly, sincere congrats to Rovers on a great result in Israel asnd best of luck V Juve (a small club from Italy :o)
FFS lads, let us be glad for you without making up more crap to have a go about Bohs, we DID NOT budget for Andelecth (or any second round game) and there was rascist chanting at Tallaght, get over it.
Pure minnowism to soil your teams achivement by dragging up crap like that, enjoy your success as SRFC and leave us to get back to winning our title :rolleyes:

Is Rovers v Juventus on TV? As of last night there was nothing on RTE website. I live in London but my local has all the Irish channels.

[Dodge]

game is definitely live on RTE 2 Stuttgart

Is that like the RTE in Ireland, or a special German version....? ;)

[Sliogán Dóite]

Something like Radio Luxembourg afaik...

[galwayjames]

rte just announced they are showing the game at tallaght on thursday.

rte just announced they are showing the game at tallaght on thursday.

......and according to RTE (and MNS' Twitter page) the game will be available live on the RTE website across the world (except in Italy where the rights have been bought by Mediaset). Good news for the exiles who won't have to trawl the web for exotic European TV channels.

[Réiteoir]

Will be giving this a miss - watching Molde vs. Stuttgart or Vålerenga vs. Barcelona instead

Jealous much?

[Réiteoir]

Jealous much?

Not really - I'll be in Norway on Thursday and have been offered a ticket for the Barcelona game (plus I'd rather go and watch a game involving a club I support, Vålerenga, than watching a game involving two clubs I don't particularly respect or like out of some bizarre sense of duty just because it's a club which play in the League of Ireland) - and a German mate of mine is a Stuttgart fan, so have been invited to his place to watch the game on TV if I didn't fancy the Barca match.

Both better options than being huddled over a poor quality internet stream.

[De Town]

Fair enough. I won't be supporting Rovers on Thursday night myself, but I'd still like to watch it to see how they get on. Your first post came across as being slightly bitter towards them because they're getting a big day in the sun, but I was wrong. I guess watching Barca is a decent enough excuse :)

[Dodge]

Wait, were we all supposed to RSVP to that post?

Sorry, RTE and Rovers, I'll be washing my bald head that night

[poster]

I will be watching. But I shall be sporting my Juve jersey that day because I don't like Shams. I have two. One for tomorrow and one for Thursday.

[Charlie Darwin]

Off-topic, but do people generally wear their club shirts if/when they watch them on TV? Not a criticism, but I've never really understood doing it at home. Maybe in the pub but even then probably not.

[poster]

I'm usually at the game. I wear my nicest boxers and a Rovers related t-shirt.

CSKA 1:0 Cliftonville 60 mins
After fullback Pavel Vidanov scored in the ninth minute for CSKA (pron. seska), Cliftonville have held their own. CSKA are shooting from long range.

[galwayjames]

CSKA 3-0 Cliftonville - 2 goals in a minute

Garrett sent off for cliftonville with 2 yellows in a minute

God knows what will happen in the next minute.

2-0 to Anderlecht away to TNS after 18 minutes really provides further evidence of how bad a result last Tuesday was for Bohs

[galwayjames]

2-0 to Anderlecht away to TNS after 18 minutes really provides further evidence of how bad a result last Tuesday was for Bohs

or maybe how lucky they were that they didn't get hammered by a good team.

[Cymro]

2-0 to Anderlecht away to TNS after 18 minutes really provides further evidence of how bad a result last Tuesday was for Bohs

Or evidence that Anderlecht are a top side.

[SkStu]

or just more evidence that TNS cant play on grass...

[Munster Saint]

2-1 to Anderlecht now, TNS have pulled one back.

[Cymro]

or just more evidence that TNS cant play on grass...

:p

Or Bohs can't play on plastic......


we could do this all day to be honest.

[SkStu]

:p

Or Bohs can't play on plastic......

:D

should we though? ;)

[abcd]

Fair play to TNS for getting one back. I think they might just rile Anderlecht to step it a gear though

[Cymro]

BBC Radio Shropshire guys like to remind us every five seconds: 'it's the Champions' League', well duh guys......

[Munster Saint]

Another goal for Anderlecht, 3-1 now

[Cymro]

Shame for TNS. Anderlecht looking safe now.

[Cymro]

1-3 FT, sounds like TNS finished strongly, second half was a good performance. Respectable effort.

[dcfcsteve]

:p

Or Bohs can't play on plastic......


No - they just pay on plastic...

[marinobohs]

No - they just pay on plastic...

..............But at least we only pay ONCE :cool:

:rolleyes: Really!!!! Cause Anderlecht are pants!!!!!!:rolleyes:

[abcd]

I'm not suggesting TNS should be beating Anderlecht or anything but that tie could easily end up 8-1 or 9-1 on aggregate I'd imagine which does highlight how poor Bohs performance was. The fact that Anderlecht finished the game so early just suggests that they could have won it by 5 or 6 last night if they needed and probably will do in the return leg.

Well done the beeb, I'm sure SDCC will be delighted to know !their" stadium has moved north of the Liffey! What a journo!

[thischarmingman]

My contribution to the Rovers-Juve buildup:


The local Thomas Davis GAA club, who took their grievances to the High Court, weakened their hand by expressing the concern that the youth of Tallaght would be 'restricted to a diet of association football'.

Right now, with another European footballing giant on their doorstep, the diet is tasting pretty damn good.

Best of luck tonight Rovers, I'm sure you'll do the league proud. For what it's worth, try and enjoy the occasion as much as possible, even despite the nerves! Just reading that preview: "The indications from Italy are that Del Piero and David Trezeguet may start on the bench...-" magic to be considering! I have my fingers crossed already.

[bennocelt]

[EastTerracer]

Try this - it's in Italian but a much more consistent feed than the RTE one.

Fingal might be kicking themselves a little. Maritimo beat Bangor 8-2.

[Colbert Report]

No surprise here. Juventus' B side beat ye soundly away from home. There are too many teams in Ireland, and as such the talent is spread much too thin. Here in Canada we the Canadian Football League. Eight professional teams in a country of thirty million.
