Kazachstan is far enough, but European football is all about travel and adventure. You can visit Wales or Holland anytime.
I think the point may be that organizing a trip to Kazakhstan with a week's notice isn't anyone's idea of fun. Or cheap.

Is the game on Wednesday definitely on Setanta? I don't see any mention of it on their TV listings. Last weeks game was once it was confirmed.

The listings haven't been updated but it has been confirmed by Tony Whelan, who I believe is Setanta's head of programming.

Its as impossible to get a bus from Tallaght to Phibsboro as it is to get a plane from Ireland to Kazakhstan.

Still waiting for his answer. If he can make the accusation, then he can back it up. Or can he?

I don't care whether he is tired or not, he knows what he posted about me, I'm asking him to explain it. Just asking him, and only him, to back it up with evidence.
Evidence? Get a bleeding grip
It was a light hearted jab at your multiple posts here on travel within ireland to LOI games, including your all time classic "there's no direct bus between tallaght and Phibsboro"
Only 2 days ago you posted that the trip to Copenhagen is too expensive, yet you tried to tell PartySaint that European football is about visitng places you don't normally go.
paul_oshea
25/07/2011, 4:39 PM
fight fight fight fight
I think his point was its the more exotic places, i.e. copenhagen wouldn't be somewhere you wouldn't normaly think of going, or at least compared to the nether regions of eastern europe for a hoilday.

You get a bleeding grip. You were asked to prove it, and you couldn't. Accept it.
I didn't say anything here or elsewhere, about "Tallaght to Phibsboro is a trek", and as I've caught you out, you've been forced into an embarrassing climbdown. And the "no direct bus" is as correct today as it was 12 months ago. Go ask Dublin Bus, if you don't believe me.
Furthermore, it has zero to do with LOI teams in Europe.

Ukraine is dirt cheap and borders 7 countries, so there's a fair number of ways of getting there. It's not Australia you're going to.

The number of countries it borders has absolutely no bearing on how easy (or cheap) it is to get there. What do you suggest...that the Sligo fans going to Poltava take one of Ryanair's regular flights from Dublin to Moldova or Belarus and get the bus from there? Lvov airport is served by a grand total of 6 international routes..Vienna, Prague, Munich, Warsaw, Timisoara, and Moscow

The brother paid €975 for a return ticket to Australia a few months ago.
Booking a flight to Kiev (a 5 hour train journey where the game is) the middle of last week, for out Tuesday and back Friday, cost nearly €850.

Budapest and Kiev is 7 hours from Lvov, Warsaw is 6, Krakow is 5, Rzeszow is 2,5.

So do you admit its an embarassing climbdown then Dodge, or are you just using the above post to take away from the(actual) content of the post?
Face it Dodge.
The only honourable course involves a dark room, a glass of whiskey and a gun.

Climbing down from the accusation he put to you of course - "and as I've caught you out, you've been forced into an embarrassing climbdown".

Yeah - why is that - why need to stagger the kick-off's if there is no TV coverage ?

Presumably to have the game played during daytime to meet UEFA floodlight requirements? Galway did similar in the league a couple of years ago when their floodlights broke.
yeah, they're floodlights aren't up to the standard required but they got a UEFA derogation as they can play the game in sunlight
paul_oshea
26/07/2011, 2:10 PM
The fact all are away first, would have to give some confidence.
I don't suppose any Ukrianian TV are going to come over to show the matches, but are both Pats and Sligos matches on Ukranian TV on thursday?
Sligo's is on TRK futbol

Presume the Sligo Rovers game will be available online? Hope so.

I was here and annoying everyone well before you kingdom :p
I'm only a blow in, but looking forward to the next couple of days hopefully get to see both of the games - that are being televised.
The weeks of july I always look forward to from a football point of view, especially now that LOI sides results are improving year on year( i mean clubs, not just 1 or 2 individual teams) consistently and more clubs progressing further

Heard on Sky sports news that if Rangers fail to overturn 1 nil defeat next week that they are out of Europe for this season, so as they are in the same round as Rovers and I heard if Rovers loose they will go into Europa League playoffs.
So whats the story, who's right & will rovers be in the playoff round of Europa League should they lose to FC Copenhagen?
Dodge
26/07/2011, 11:17 PM
Sky Sports are wrong
Losers of this round, go into Europa league play off round
Losers in the next champions league round go directly into group stages of Europa League

Sky Sports shows the Champions League, therefore the Champions League IS Europe. The Europa league does not exist.

Didn't the Champions League rebrand the same year as the Premier League launched? 1992 seems to be the year a fledgling sport called 'football' got its big break alright. I don't think anyone even played it before that.
