European Football 2012

[Real ale Madrid]

If it's a fix, the Albanians have at least learnt to be disappointed with conceding since playing Sligo.

Aren't Shkendija from Macedonia ?

[A N Mouse]

Well two to watch out for :

Luxembourg are closest to them and should have two sides playing another 2 games.

Wales - TNS start in next round of the cl, and the teams in the el are up against it, but conceivably (its a long shot) all three could through.

That said Linfield, and the NI co-efficient, would be better off if they had played in the preliminary round the last few years. Everyone shuffling up meant they got to play in the second qualifying round and each time got one of the top seeds.

What I forgot to say is that's for 2014, they'll still be in the preliminary round next year - unless everyone shuffles up again.


Welsh champions will be in the first qualifying round next year and i think they will be likely to get two wins

The Welsh champions will definitely start next year in the second qualifying round.

NI were 6th last and Wales two place above them in 2012 rankings, used for next years access list (http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2012.html)


another thing, unless our results improve in Europe we will have all three Europa league spots in the first round, rather than one in the second round and possibly seeding's.

On that list for 2012 we finished 33rd, so going by this year's access list all three el teams would start in the first round next year - unless there's some shuffling up. This is not necessarily a bad thing. All 3 should be seeded. And should all 3 progress, relatively unscathed, it would go some way toward replacing the large amount of points we'd be losing from 08/09.

Aren't Shkendija from Macedonia ?The Macedonians consider them an Albanian club for some reason. Macedonian dude told me as much.

[CuanaD]

Bohs game will be here http://www.thorsport.is/tv/

Thanks for that, any link for the Pats one anywhere?

[Bawnville Hoop]

Good luck to both tonight. Very very important both go through. Our Country ranking is slipping and I think our league has the quality to be in the top 30 rather than the top 40.

We got 4 wins and 4 draws last year making a country ranking of 1.500 (then added to previous 4 years, average of the 5 is country rank)

Two wins tonight will set us on course to level last year or even better it.

[Acornvilla]

cliftonville 3-0 down before HT

[nigel-harps1954]

Crusaders holding Rosenborg in Norway 0-0 too. Great result there if they can hold onto that.

[MeathDrog]

Rosenborg missed a peno.

[MeathDrog]

not working for me either............lshunter only has a handful of games on
any ideas?

[SPXcyan]

The Ustream link works fine for me ^^

[nigel-harps1954]

I'm having no problem with it. There's a few Bohs fans there alright. Fair played to them.

[frenchman]

thanks hibs

[Spudulika]

was working earlier, not now though.

[Spudulika]

Shkendija is Albanian for Alexander (I think).

The linke is working, just underneath the screen is a link to ustream. watching now.

[SkStu]

links working finr (ustream).

All Bohs so far in terms of possession with a couple of half chances.

[Mad Moose]

uStream link is working. Very good coverage so far. Good to see this one. Dear god even Iceland is getting something of a summer.

Fair play to the Boh's fans for making the trip. Nice tidy wee stand that too.

[nigel-harps1954]

Anyone get any English commentary? As much as I love this strange language, I'm starting to feel like I'm on acid or something and everything is getting fuzzy and weird.

[Youths4Ever]

Does anybody have a link for the Pats game??

[nigel-harps1954]

Doesn't seem to be any coverage of the Pat's game. Best bet is to check the club website or something.

[geysir]

The 'commentator' said 50 Bohs fans made the trip in the 90 seater plane, arrived yesterday morning. The locals have a banner hanging from the stand, "Die for the Club".
There's a heatwave in Iceland these past few days, expect the pace to drop in the 2nd half :)

[Mad Moose]

Great stuff.

[Acornvilla]

wahey!

[SPXcyan]

1-0 Bohs!

[SkStu]

TW@T! Its a goal!!

Are those colours real? :D

[nigel-harps1954]

Are those colours real? :D

Seen some pretty mountains there.

[Youths4Ever]

Kick-off not to 8:30?
I thought it was 8 but double checked and it is 8.30

[Acornvilla]

God blessus this is dire stuff.

[Charlie Darwin]

Anyone record the goal?

[nigel-harps1954]

Which? ;) Owen Heary...what were you doing?

[Charlie Darwin]

Uh oh, 1-1. The drummer from Hanson with the equaliser.

[SkStu]

balls. We were all over them too. Sickening. Hopefully we can kick on and nab the win.

[Charlie Darwin]

2-1 Thor. Oh dear Bohs. Free header for the short skinny bloke.

[gufcfan]

Bohs defence strikes again.

[Mad Moose]

Oh dear. Did not see that coming.

[SkStu]

awww crap.

[nigel-harps1954]

Dear sweet jesus, it's This Not So good.

[Fester]

Bring on half time and quick..

[gufcfan]

Can't disagree with that fellas analysis of the first half.

[masterk78]

Bohs should be forcibly disbanded if they don't rescue this situation. And I'm not hopefully based on their recent record.

[Mad Moose]

Sod all point to those interfering ads. Advertising never works. It gets in the way of what we want to see.

That said where's me local Greifinn. I really fancy a Greifinn right now.

[Fester]

Rosenburg 1 v 0 Crusader
Kalmar FF 4 v 0 Cliftonville

Both FT

[geysir]

Half time interview with one of the Thor subs
'How is it going so far'?
"Good"
"How did you see that half?"
"They scored first, then we got 2"

Some inaudible question answered by
"it's only half time, there's another 45 minutes to play".

[Mad Moose]

Can't disagree with that fellas analysis of the first half.

Very good. I enjoyed the technical difficulties at the start of the interview. The clicking of fingers to get Icelandic ToD's attention.

[MeathDrog]

Use firefox and get adblock plus and you won't have any ads.

[gufcfan]

I'm nearly certain I was camping on that spot. Didn't see that green lad there though... :P
