might not be a bad thing might sit back now though and not push too much, give rovers a chance to settle in and who knows sneak an away goal

Bad marking, great header, did really well to hold off the defender.

They're a class above Shams at the moment though. Compare the passing ability between the two sides. Kobenhaven are nearly as good as Sligo!

Just walked in after the goal.

Tommy O'Gara's are showing it. Walsh's have nationwide on.

Despite the goal, Rovers are playing very well. Certainly doesn't look like a mismatch by any stretch in the opening minutes.

YES they do DI, getting shoved off the ball far too easy, and that showed for the goal also. i suppose thats down to conditioning to an extent but they are a level above thus far.

Rovers responded well to goal.kept calm and well in it. Need to get to half time with no more disasters.

Thats how i see it, there is a lot of open space in midfield now. Just take it easy till half time, had copenhagen not scored they would have been applying pressure non-stop for the last 20 mins and draining rovers.

Keep it tight get to half time like this is decent. They were never going to win this 0-1 and they were never not going to concede a "result" always in this game would be a score draw, or score loss by 1. that would be a great achievement to get back to tallaght with.

That Thomson lad hadn't a clue there.

my stream is freezing a lot anyone got a better one?

The idea was right there execution was terrible, but now copenhagen will be aware of that set-piece move.

DannyInvincible

Rovers have been playing some lovely passes around the pitch and have had a fair amount of possession in Copenhagen's half. They're composed and men haven't been lacking. Of course, Copenhagen are very dangerous, but I'm taking positives from what I've seen. It's not a foregone conclusion.

paul_oshea

27/07/2011, 6:24 PM

They have had a lot of possession because copenhagen have sat back further down the field and left a lot of room in midfield. When copenhagen have countered on gone one-on-one they are winning all the exchanges.

As i said if it gets to half as is, thats good going for rovers. These crosses have to be beating the first man.

What a save!

Argh, what a miss.

Oh what a chance! Need to take them.

PI was right they look a bit confused and disorganised when balls come into the 18 yard box.

Jaysus, nearly an away goal!!

passinginterest

27/07/2011, 6:29 PM

Both teams look a bit vulnerable to crosses and both are letting them come in too easily. Interesting game, still think rovers doing well, although they had a spell of going long too early.

BonnieShels

Nice play there.

FCK don't look great dealing with the high ball.

Good clearance, they obviously feel rovers are suspect to the high ball. If thompson could claim a few more of them....

paul_oshea

27/07/2011, 6:37 PM

Great save

I take it back. what a save.

That's a great save from Thompson in fairness.

blow for half time.

paul_oshea

27/07/2011, 6:42 PM

Dennehy easily rovers MOTM. a class above.

the pitch must be greasy, the rovers lads have the wrong studs :D

I think a 1-0 loss if they could hold on would be great, doubtful they could stop them scoring in tallaght but a draw or a win at home would still be good for the (and club) co-efficients etc. I can see kopenhagen scoring again though.

HT. Terrible start but good recovery after that. Rovers definately not being outclassed here, and I reckon they can get a goal.

Great save by Thompson.

legendz

27/07/2011, 6:44 PM

Disappointing start. Rovers seemed to improve midway through the half progress, had one or two chances. Copenhagen look dangerous though, could see them getting another goal or two.

born2bwild

27/07/2011, 6:45 PM

Jaysus, when Carlsberg stepped it up in the last five minutes Rovers looked like Salthill Devon.

Anyone see that liedetector.ie ad? Could come in useful in Terryland park.

passinginterest

27/07/2011, 6:47 PM

Rover have to be relatively happy after that start. FCK have had maybe 4 decent chances, a goal, a super save and the one where Sives was caught an Diouf shot over. Rovers have had a fair bit of possession, forced some corners and had one great chance. End of the half was a bit worrying if FCK can up the pace they could be very dangerous. I'm watching with Danish commentary, obviously don't understand a word but the tone seems quite positive when referring to Rovers.

HulaHoop

27/07/2011, 6:48 PM

This could end 4 nil or it could end 1 all. It's that sort of game. Compenhagen look a class above though.

harleyleeds

27/07/2011, 6:49 PM

Shams have done well but I feel they will rue those misses as the Danes seem to be figuring it out up front . Having said that their(danes) defence is about as bad as ive seen so away goal certainly on. Im really suprised at how bad copenhagen are after all I read on here about them. Must be cos they only started their league. Hope that follows through tomorrow for Rovers.
oh ya and Pats.

BonnieShels

Phew. I can see this getting dicey with 15 to go.

passinginterest

27/07/2011, 6:53 PM

Copenhagen lost 3 of their back 4 from last year, new manager and I think the two center midfielders are new too. The fact it's so early in their season would obviously be a disadvantage in that case.
