LoI in Europe 2024

[Jolly Red Giant]

Difference of €790,000
Do you have a breakdown of that -

[nigel-harps1954]

That was an infuriating game against a horrible team full of gowls.

Absolutely hateful bunch. The antics with the "stolen" throw-in from a fake injury in the second half nearly sent the whole of the stadium into the river.

We were much the better side and Coote and Wood made such a difference late on.

Gannon was completely off the boil for whatever reason and hopefully he'll be back to his usual self next week.

Anyway, we won. That's all we can ask for right now.

He lives!

[pineapple stu]

Well - let's see how the head is this morning before making any conclusions... :p

[BonnieShels]

Good to see you posting Bonnie - hope you are well!

All's well indeed! Good to see some of ye lot are still about.


He lives!

Just about.


Well - let's see how the head is this morning before making any conclusions... :p

The head is sore alright. But that's more to do with age. Had 4 pints and grub in The Strand House before the match and that was my lot for the evening and by God I feel like I've been out on the batter for a week!

Good to know some things never change. :D

[EatYerGreens]

Despite Shelbourne's win - that was two damned poor results against the opposition - these teams are equivalent to tier 8/9 of the English pyramid (that is where some of the better players have played).

Ahh here - Tier 8 or 9 of the English pyramid is seriously sh!!te uber-regional leagues. Fat old blokes playing with their knees strapped up etc. They're really not as low as that.

[Acornvilla]

I have seen multiple people around the web saying Derry lost to amateurs, I don't think Bruno's are particularly good by any means, but people love to exaggerate for effect.

Their sporting director said they tried to sign Pat Hoban, but he was too expensive, so they're definitely throwing some degree of cash about, but I still reckon Drogheda would be able to give them a rattle in all honestly, I have absolutely no idea what happened to Derry.

Its also just wildly inaccurate.

What's worse is I corrected the spelling and somehow made it a new word :D

Paddy Power have the Icelandics as strong favs tonight.
Based on last week I can't disagree. Hope springs eternal though

Careful, it's the hope that kills ya

[Acornvilla]

Are Derry and Shels getting a bigger slice of profits from pivoting their matches to a different streaming partner for Europe, or why aren't they using LOItv?

[2 Year Contract]

Is the rovers game included in the LOITV season pass? I know European games aren’t usually but cup games aren’t usually either as far as I know and I just saw today that they’re included in the season pass this year

Nah it cost a tenner,real shame Virgin didnt pick the game up,think it should be a worthwhile game to put it on the tele but obviously those in charge thought otherwise....

[pineapple stu]

So the first round madness begins again. Ballkani of Kosovo, who reached the Conference League groups the last two years, have been taken to extra time by Santa Coloma of Andorra, who scored in the last minute to win 1-0 in Kosovo. Ballkani are down to ten men too

[pineapple stu]

And Santa Coloma go through on penalties!

They had lost every one of their 17 European ties before this. So even to draw 0-0 - as they had been doing until injury time - would have been historic. Now their first ever European win has them one match win away from being the first Andorran side to reach the groups

That's unlikely to be their next tie against Midtjylland though...

That is crazy against a side who not only made it to the groups last year but had a good chance of getting out of that group.

Less than 48 hours to kick-off and still no streaming confirmed for the Shels match

Shels put out a message on X yesterday that they are still awaiting confirmation of streaming details as it is St. Joseph's as the home club who are responsible for control of the broadcast, but Shels communication over this has been conflicting as they originally stated on July 2nd in an email to season ticket holders that the away match would be available on LOI TV on a PPV basis

That's a strange one, most people here think the pendulum has slightly swung Rovers' way.
Vikingur didn't impress many here that much but they do have one of their best players returning for this game, easy to spot in midfield, bald-pated.

[CorribsideSteve]

How many are SRFC expecting in for tonight, 4/5,000?

[ger121]

Red Imps through on penalties. Hamrun are decent and I thought they’d win that tie. Gibraltarian football improving all the time.

[CorribsideSteve]

Never mind, I see that it's fairly full. Good luck Rovers! Fear there's a long night ahead for them though.

Won with ten men for 115 minutes too. Great achievement.

[joey B]

Great start for Rovers,well taken by Kenny

[joey B]

Viking look really poor at the back so far…

[pineapple stu]

2-0 Rovers now. Finally coming good when the doubts were really starting to set in after the first leg.

Hard to see a way back for Viking now, though not sure Sparta Prague will be all that worried yet. Though obviously the progress through the other tournaments is the bigger factor.

[CorribsideSteve]

Get in!!! Johnny Kenny!!

[2 Year Contract]

I didn’t see the first leg but this Vikingur team look dirt at the back. Would be 3-0 if the 1v1 fell to someone other than Gary O'Neill a few mins ago

It's fascinating how poorly they've played since they conceded unexpectedly. It rattled them completely and fair dues to Rovers, they've capitalized.

[joey B]

Dylan Watts has been excellent in this first half…

[Acornvilla]

In an excellent position now and really should finish the job. Still struggling to pass out when pressed, a hell of a lot of stuff going out for throws, that'll kill them in the next round, but for now, good stuff! Really well taken goals from Kenny, I know he's been a really inconsistent finisher but if he gets a handle on that he could have a great career yet.

[BonnieShels]

How does Shams winning this affect the coefficient going forward? If at all? I've misses any updates there's been.

[pineapple stu]

Well the LoI will get 0.250 which we maybe weren't expecting after last week.

Then take each subsequent game as it comes - but they should get more of them at least

[joey B]

Vikingur missed an absolute sitter there…

[Acornvilla]

Rovers might want to stop collecting stupid pointless yellow cards as well, a flurry of them for very little, although Lopes falling in to a man was pretty funny :D

[joey B]

Game on ! Rovers have been poor in the second half…

[pineapple stu]

If Rovers throw this away Bradley should be sacked on the spot...

As an aside, was looking at the Sparta Prague squad there and they had six players at the Euros. Going to be a bit of a step up. For whoever gets through...

[joey B]

And Jack Byrne sent off,idiotic stuff…if Rovers go out I’d sack him too ….

There we go! No need

That Sparta team is in transition. Lost their manager and captain this summer. As times go, not the worst time to face them.

[pineapple stu]

Christ - Viking miss a 98th minute penalty!

So Rovers through by the absolute skin of their teeth...

[CorribsideSteve]

What a massive letoff. Rovers were useless in the 2nd half.

[joey B]

Holy Jaysis such a miss

[Acornvilla]

Good lord they are so lucky. A great night for the coefficient :D

[ger121]

Jesus that was dramatic.Did their best to throw that one away

[BonnieShels]

Christ - Viking miss a 98th minute penalty!

Was watching on Livescore as I'm working late tonight. Jesus. Had no idea. Thought a mate was winding me up.

[Calcio Jack]

Not pretty but a fantastic result for us and that’s all that counts

[ger121]

Indeed it does. Written off going into the tie but it was always 50/50 in my book. All that matters is the result.

[Acornvilla]

The ref was handing out cards a bit too easily, but Rovers kept giving him reasons to, absolutely stupid from Byrne, he's paid the big bucks to come in clutch in these games not lose them.
