LOI In Europe 2025

[placid casual]

Shels will play in tallaght.
Rovers should hopefully get 10 points which will be enough.
Can't see Shels getting many points tbh.

Far from the worst draw Breidablik could get. Yet another Iceland trip for Rovers who were about the best option from pot 2.
The weather should be suitably wicked.
Let the hunt for 7 points begin.




Shamrock Rovers (H)
Shakhtar Donetsk A
KuPS Kuopio (H)
Strasbourg -A
Samsunspor (H)
Lausanne - A

As Dan McDonnell pointed out, a lot will depend on the interpretation of "in principle" in the regulation that all 3 games be played in the same venue

Some points to be targeted at home for sure. Turks may not fancy that Icelandic winter.

Funny enough this is one where the maximum away ticket price will hurt Shels....they can only charge Palace fans 20 so unless they charge their own fans more i dont know how the aviva could work in termns of making a big killing.

If Shels were to play their game against palace in landsdowne pk it wouldn't sell out imo. And they'd have to play all 3 games there.
games will be in tallaght anyway I would imagine.

Would Tallaght not satisfy demand for the Crystal Palace game ? Id imagine there would be maximum amount of away tickets they could sell in any venue. Would the public run to the Aviva on a Thursday evening to watch them play. Id have doubts about the maximum numbers of tickets that could be shifted.

This is what there is a potential discussion around

And for Shels it's -

Alkmaar (A)
Palace (H)
Drita (H)
Celje (A)
Hacken (H)
Shkendija (A)

Damien Duff back as Shels manager according to the host (whose voice I recognise - but can't place the name...?)

That was Matt Smith of ITV football fame Stu!!
