If Rovers get a goal they still have a chance, Kazan dont look great at the back.

Wonder do the FAI have any say in prices! 25 would seem steep but then again the extra few quid might cover the absentees.
Can imagine the barstoolers after 3 mins "Sure I told ya they were fookin useless"
Come on Rovers!

Not really - got hammered 3-0 in front of a sparse crowd of which quite a few were leaving on 86 minutes (according to Extratime).

One thing we can guarantee from the attendance tonight - the Spurs support will be a sizable one come that home game...

Bull. The easiest thing for the team to do was drop the heads and it coulda been six. They didn't and made a fist of it.

In fairness Rovers kept going until the end. A lot are on about the crowd. Look the supporters that turned up are what matter. Most of it will have been the core support that are backing Rovers all the way. They are the one who are important, not the numbers who did not come to the game.

It's great to see Rovers involved tonight. The players interviewed before the match mentioned how the qualifiers seemed like months ago. Usually once the group stages start Irish involvement is quickly forgotten. This time their is going to be coverage right until December. It's going to be tough with the games.

Definite gulf in class but you'd fear for Rovers in this tournament unless they start taking chances. Their shocking in front of goal. For all the chat of Twigg, he's being shown up in this competition.

Never mind. We'll try again in 2 weeks time.or maybe onr of the 4 other games afte that.

I pity you having to suffer the indignity of watching your biggest rivals test themselves against new opposition,while your own club can barely raisr a whimper against the fying of its light.

Extratime put a 7,000 estimate on the crowd, which is okay when you consider the kick-off time.

Kazan looked the real deal all right, Spurs will do well to finish ahead of them, especially when they look like they're not gonna be taking the competition very seriously.

Bit unfair on Twigg if you don't mind me saying. Fair enough he has a poor record at European level but Shams have a lot less of the ball against the teams in this competition and I feel he's left a bit isolated a lot of the time. Won them a penalty tonight in fairness to him.
Twigg is a top quality LoI player but I don't believe anybody really thinks he could cut it at a much higher level. If he could he would be elsewhere by now.
Not having a go at him, he seems to be a Shamrock Rovers legend and rightly so in my opinion.

Not much pride in 3-0 home defeats in fairness.

Nothing to be ashamed off either as they're far above the opposition that regularly beat Irish sides.

The achievement by Rovers to get here can't be understated, but no point in trying to claim tonight was a 'proud night for the league'

The night in Belgrade was a proud night for the league. While disappointed with the defeat, it was a good night in terms of seeing an Irish club involved. Hopefully things will get better.

I was trying to get the positivity quota up before the usual nay-sayers came on. They did do the league proud considering what they were up against.
They were beaten by 2 great goals. And one shocking one. Eep.

Played well, should have scored one, possibly two, but the early goal jinx struck us again. In both halves this time. Most teams are usually vulnerable late in the game, we seem to be most vulnerable at the start for some reason.

Interesting scanning the newswires since the game. Most foreign agencies are writing measured, balanced reports. The Irish media by contrast, are firmly sticking the boot in. :rolleyes:
