        Very entertaining game of football. Good old GAA expression put the ball dead. When you know youre going to be beaten on the counter make sure the ball goes dead.

        Rovers have been very good and can count themselves unlucky to be 0-1 down but that's the level they are playing at.

          Rovers should at least be level after the first 45. They were lively for the first 30 minutes but, again, were guilty of not taking their chances. They lost their way a bit in the last 15 minutes but it should have been crazy that they had gone two down.

          Great save from Mannus from that Fofana shot.

              Regardless of the result, and the poor defending for the second. Its been a great game of football. a 0-1 loss would be fair enough but not a 2 goal defeat.

              But it does prove that all the other wins at home were superficial really.

                Yep. An unfortunately typical LoI performance in Europe really - no composure at all in front of goal, and undone by a set piece.

                You also wonder what Rovers are going to do when Mannus finally does retire. No obvious replacement for him domestically I think.

                Edit - good spot from the lino on Greene there, but you wonder how he gets that and misses the Molde opener.

                  They should make this comment the club motto at this point?

                    Aaron Greene starting European group stage games tells you everything. They'll never beat decent teams in consequential games in Europe without vastly improving their attack and adding pace too.

                      Another dreadful shot there almost out of the ground from the edge of the box.

                      Third or fourth time this half they've done that

                        All these sky high shots is very poor. Not one on target

                          I could be wrong but Rovers might be the only team left in the competition not to score a goal. Think that says a lot because they have had lots of chances over the 4 games.

                            Yep the only team who haven't, in comparison Ballkani, the Kosovo champions, have scored eight goals so far including five against a Turkish side.

                              That?s very poor. How Greene missed that chance in the first half is beyond me.

                                No but you see they beat the champions of Malta & Macedonia so they?ve done great this year, they hit their bar?granted they set the bar pretty low but they managed to hit it.
