Rovers/Sporting Fingal on the Internet?

[Charlie Darwin]

yes there was talk of that but the rugby match looks like it will be full capacity - they've already sold 40,000 tickets
Is it that many? I thought they'd capped it lower, but then again rugby fans are gentlemen unlike those awful soccer supporters that attack referees at the GAA.

I don't think we'd be able to get 40,000 for Juventus though.

[Candystripe]

only problem is the timing - just one week to market it

i agree it coud fill the aviva though.

Very true about the timing.

So what are the chances of getting a ticket for this next week,would love to head down for it?

rovers have 2,500 season ticket holders AFAIK, they'll get preference i'd imagine

that leaves 3,200 for everyone else - you'll need to be quick !

Great night for the league as a whole .

[danthesaint]

[Buile Shuibhne]

[Tony Soprano]

CSKA Sofia

[Tony Soprano]

looks like fingal would have played bangor !

they're leading in injury time

[abcd]

Bangor 2-1 up on Honka good week for the Welsh clubs

[ger121]

Bangor just went 2-1 up in injury time. Lost opportunity there for Fingal. Good week for Welsh football

[Spudulika]

Unfortunate for SFFC, well done Rovers and good job Dundalk for keeping it respectable.

[Tony Soprano]

not over yet !

[shep]

good week for welsh football...Bangor winning!!!

[thejollyrodger]

hard luck Sporting, great to see Juve against Shamrock Rovers next tie

[galwayjames]

5 mins to get 2 goals....i wonder if fingal can do it

[ger121]

hopefully they can get a 2nd at least to make it 2 all

[Charlie Darwin]

Goal for Fingal! Sounds like a good one too. Delighted they managed to get on the scoresheet at least.

[ger121]

Good night Vienna!!

[Tony Soprano]

well done bangor

[galwayjames]

3-1 maritimo

[abcd]

1-3 now. Cliftonville on the verge of going through.

[galwayjames]

ooooooh 3-2

[abcd]

2-3 another for Zayed too little too late I'm afraid.

[Charlie Darwin]

Buckley must be regretting leaving a proven European campaigner like Zayed on the bench.

[galwayjames]

3-2 ft

[Charlie Darwin]

Great effort from Sporting - they'll learn from this.

[De Town]

Buckley must be regretting leaving a proven European campaigner like Zayed on the bench.

Yeah, he only had the record Irish goalscorer in Europe on instead of him.

[Buile Shuibhne]

Hopefully they won't be around that long.

[Dunny]

Change the record already ffs.

[galwayjames]

cibalia 0-0 cliftonville FT

Cliftonville go through 1-0 on agg. to play CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria

[Tony Soprano]

rovers, cliftonville and bangor through

fingal out

perfect night for the irish





I'm just kidding !

[cob655]

rovers, cliftonville and bangor through

fingal out

perfect night for the irish

cop your self on,perfect would have been dundalk and fingal through too..

[cob655]

Hopefully they won't be around that long.

and how would that be good for irish football having less teams in the league?

[Tony Soprano]

cop your self on,perfect would have been dundalk and fingal through too..

gave up on them after the first leg

[galwayjames]

ffs lads put aside club rivalries/general negativity for a while would ye?

[Cuyahoga]

Hard luck to Fingal and Dundalk. They were tough teams to play in fairness. It will be Tallaght next week definetely and Modena the following week!

[cob655]

fingal should have won the first leg never mind going 3-2 down,all they had to do was win 1-0 tonight,they had a great chance of going through.
they still did them self's and the league proud!

[abcd]

Fingal have done well for their first campaign. The winner for Maritimo last week was always going to turn the tie. They're a team who could benefit from starting at the first round next season because in fairness the draw was always going to be difficult for them this year given their lack of European experience.

However, I think recent results begs the question what direction should summer football take. Looking at the results of the Welsh and Irish league sides(excl. Glentoran) begs the question, is summer soccer necessary for European progression or as suggested in the other threads should the fixtures be arranged to suit the sides participating in Europe. Ok I know we had 2 new representatives this year and Bohs were pathetic, the draw was tough for them two etc and I know Rovers have achieved an excellent result but Cliftonville have just overcame Cibalia, I don't really know their strength or otherwise but the Croatian league is a decent league.

[Tony Soprano]

Buffon, Felipe Melo, Momo Sissoko (remember him?), Iaquinta, Del Piero, Camoranesi, Trezeguet, Diego, Giovinco, Tiago, Pepe, Chiellini, Christian Poulsen

lot of famous names gonna be in Wicklow next Thursday night !

[SkStu]

might have missed it but is the only reason the game against Juve is on in Tallaght just to play them in your home ground? No problem with it, just curious.

Bohs was a freak result

apart from that we've done OK - apart from Dundalk whose maangeer suggested fixture congestion was a factor in the 6-0 loss

Fingal probably would have beaten that Croatian side, probably Honka too

Could always play it in Dalymount... Just sayin like... :D

[oriel]

Well done to Rovers, a brilliant result, what a prize that is. Shades of AC Milan v Athlone mid 70`s, fantastic draw, they`ll make a packet, and after this win, they deserve to.

Very decent effort by Fingal, went out fighting fair play.

We were solid in the second half both their goals came in the first, so happy enough in the end, at least we seem to be improving - at last. Levski are a top top side.

A word on the NI teams, Clifftonville through, Portadown drawing away but losing 2-1 on agg, Linfield drawing at home, and only losing 2-0 to Rosenburg, all very decent results.

Summer football................................?
