Interesting, in the height of summer in Ireland, or for example sligo, up until at least early September if a game started at 7 or 7.15 there is more than enough light. BUt im aware that UEFA have to be across the board here...
Not a chance, by early September the Sun is setting before 8:30

It might be setting but its still very bright by 9/9.15 in the West of Ireland. Anyway that might be a pretty pointless discussion. :)

I think there is an uncertainty there from both sides to be fair. I don't think anyone is really versed on Ukranian football bar what they see from the bigger teams in the CL/latter stages Europa league. IT could be another Scotland or it might not be. Either way a 5-0 win against Glentoran is still very comfortable, pre-season or not.
The Ukrainians are not in Pre-Season. Their league has already kicked off:
Vorskla Play 2 Won 1 Drew 0 Lost 1 Position 7th
Karpathy Play 2 Won 0 Drew1 Lost 1 Position 14th out of 16.
Charlie Darwin
22/07/2011, 1:18 PM

Bradley, that's the one. I always confuse my former Rovers.

Both booked late on last night. Bradley's was for time wasting. Kavanagh got booked in the last minute, not sure what for. Could be costly.

I was on about Glentoran....actually i suppose they aren't even in pre-season!

Bradley was booked for taking too long on a corner. Kavanagh for kicking the ball away.

Another great European night in Richmond last night, that's now 10 games unbeaten in Richmond in Europe for us, Haven't been beaten there in Europe this Millennium:) It's a shame the next round has to be moved to Tallaght, I hope we are still in the tie come the home game should make for another interesting night in Europe for Ireland's European Club!!

Presumably because he'll be playing two days later.

Many Rovers fans making the trip to Denmark? Hard enough to get money to go on one European trip never mind 2 in a week, Had a few mates who went to Tallin and loved it, They are looking into getting to Copenhagen on the cheap

It's just not possible to do on the cheap, have been looking at every possible way of getting there over the last few days, can't be done for less than 350 return unless you are under 26 in which case SAS are doing direct flights for 140. As for numbers going there's two charters, one 90 seater fans one and the team charter with capacity for 50 fans also. They are both booked up and there are a good few who paid the 400 quid plus for the scheduled flights. All in all probably the guts of 300 will make the trip. It will be hard to top Tallinn though, great place.

In 2011 Pats terms, 350 is dirt cheap.

When accommodation, game ticket, and other expenses are considered, it's almost double that figure.

Charlie Darwin
22/07/2011, 5:32 PM
Presumably not. It's a strange one for them to arrange before they know the result of the first leg. Setanta have Rangers-Malmo scheduled, which I'm sure will be a huge ratings draw.

How are you fairing with the Danish air authorities with regards to your spaceship?

Funnily enough, last time Pats were in Denmark. A friend of mine was staying with a buddy who lives in Aarhus. Anyway the pats fan stayed out late one night and couldn't find his way 'home'. Kind danish police took him into cell for the night and dropped him 'home' the next morning. pats lad said he wasn't even that drunk, he just couldn't remember where his buddy lived...

that's very decent tho not many or any police force would do that.

I assume Dodge's mate was linguistically challenged, anybody that helpless and naturally incoherent should be kept off the streets for their own safety.
A good week for the LOI. Now we know that clubs from lesser ranked leagues can be dispatched with a bit of effort. Time will tell if the industrious LOI can surpass the success rate of the League of Iceland (whose clubs are by now renowned for their diligent passing game) with their 5 wins and a draw already under the belt.

Presumably a Shamrock Rovers fan would be running at the police waving an umbrella in a threatening manner.

On the contrary I was the centre of attention when I dressed up like Hitler walking through Copenhagen. Everyone seemed to be looking at me. Never felt more loved in my life.

You know, there could be something in this. I think I'll live out my fantasy of dressing in a wee black bowler, wrapping an orange sash around me and march down O'connell St with an umbrella. Oh wait....

Right it ended 4-2 to Vorskla.
Dear Paul Cook,
Main threats:
Markoski – left sided forward. Very skilful – long ball to back post for 2nd goal perfect. I’m not sure what you can do to stop him.
Dalko: playmaker middle of park Richie Ryan needs to be all over him like a bad suit.
Zakarluchka: very strong MF – took the ball down and flicked it over the defence to set up the first goal (like a fitter N’Do)
Bezus: number 9 came on as a sub – the commentators were going on about him being the next big thang – very aggressive – peeled off from a group of six in the box to score the third goal at the back post.
Good news. They can be got at from set pieces. Terrible terrible defending for both goals conceded. First one – centre halves fell asleep and a 5 foot nothing midfielder got in between them to head it in.
Goalie and the centre halves totally amateur on a corner – big centre half from Metallurg scored – free header almost.
They are very skilful and it will be a real indicator of Sligo’s skill to see if they can match them.
They are terrible on set pieces, though. N’Do crosses, Blinkhorn flicks it on, Doyle back post…away goal.
Yours, B2bW
PS. The pitch is huge and it’s going to be very hot.
Dear Pete Mahon…I’m going to watch the Karpaty match now…

Kazachstan is far enough, but European football is all about travel and adventure. You can visit Wales or Holland anytime.
