Trainer Martin Andermatt appears confidently for the coming away game in the UEFA-Cup. "We want shown has into the next round and like the EM 2004, can reach" also an Underdog nowadays much. Respect vis-à-vis the irises is mounted however in any case: Martin Andermatt gave "the Irish team stands compact, is robust and fights to the letzen minute" its impressions of the appearance in Ireland again.

The FC Vaduz is lived how with a solid fundamental organization on the other hand stop and with creativity try to obtain the necessary gates. To the level of the first Irish league, Martin Andermatt made no statements. It would be also no disadvantage that the FC Vaduz would stick not yet in the championship business, for the preparation became on the basis of this exit situation adapted.

Thomas Weller (formerly Winterthur), that the first time a press appointment in Liechtenstein perceived, believes in naturally also the chance: "the team is in any case intact and we "new" best were received.

The most important information in short form:

Manu Rivera yet for 3 to 4 weeks out (Wadenzerrung)

Philip Obhafuoso presumably in a week again back in the team

Fabio D Elia briefly again fit

Michael Stocklasa with an Angina easily struck - might however on Thursday again to the decree stand

The delegation Ireland arrived well and practical with the "entire" society on the spot in Liechtenstein. Angereist are also approximately 200 fans. These are at present however yet in Munich and will travel to Liechtenstein then on Thursday. At the same time it concerns sooner a families flight or society sow flight.

"we appeal to our fans that they support our team, thus we in majority will remain", arranged FCV managing director Wolfgang stalk in the context of a medium orientation of yesterday to the domestic population.

Longford Town on Understatement mindfully

Whom now the favorite role comes, FCV coach took Martin other matt left to the knowledge. "because the FCV some mark more played in the Europacup, can we the favorite role accept", attached other matt. "Longford Town is considered on Understatement. It probably means everything that the crew already stays for Monday here. Already from the championship we are used that we appear as favorite." Punkto motivation must Martin other matt to be broken in be able no Exploits. "each player must know that he constantly goes to his borders. Therefore we do not have to talk about the motivation, show up particularly each player on the international parquet can." Much laufwege are necessary, in order to bring Longford from its order. Creativity is in demand: "from the own constitutional structure we must bring those. Everyone must fulfill the task on its position ", so other matt, to which left still open, who will stand in the long run in the starting formation. "the new ones must adapt to the increased rhythm, which we fastened since the winter break."

For the FCV the Europacupeinsatz will be at the same time the first seriousness fight in the new season. For the guest team from Ireland, which is in the middle in the season, thus a small advantage could result. Martin other matt, which interspersed therefore consciously English weeks, relates however: "our season lasted relatively for a long time, but the basic idea is crucial, speaks the attitude." Other matt for example a planning with a higher number of test plays selected. to come "around faster on this level." That the Uefa in this phase of the season - ten days after the EM final - sets already qualification plays, did not want to commentate Martin other matt.

Petrol ordinary consumer does not think itself capable of often to speak of a victory in the framework the UEFA Cup before round. That is a social problem, notices Martin other matt. "we have large abilities. The self value feeling gets oneself one, if one does somewhat for it." The crew believes in these chances. "there is no player, who gives himself up in the apron", so the FCV coach. Experience on the international parquet as club coaches has other matt already. Before period of one year it reached the third round with the FC Wil in the UIC Cup and failed only because of the French Ligue-1-Verein Nantes. "we will undertake everything, in order to advance into the second round. Which was possible in Wil in the UIC, should be possible also here. Us giants a challenge expects ", so other matt, which wants to lead a flat steel bar association for the first time in the context of the UEFA Cups into the main round. That succeeded so far only to the FC Balzers and the FC Vaduz in the Cupsieger Cup.

Football, UEFA Cup: Of Barbados national player Eric Lavine "it is torgefaehrlich agil and", reads the estimate of FCV coach Martin other matt over the only national player in the rows of Longford Town F. C, Eric Lavine. By Ernst Hasler The 33-jaehrige Eric Lavine completed Barbados so far for its homeland into the Karibik 34 international matches and obtained eleven gates. "last I played Lavine, which was missing last on 19 June in past December for my homeland" in such a way, when Barbados separated against pc. of cement & Nevis in the WM qualification after a 0:2 in the first leg with 2:3. The topic national team seems to move for it at present into the distance, although it is observed regularly by the national coach from Barbados. For eight years in Ireland For it the excursion is special to Ireland. Since 1996 it stays in Ireland, where it stood first with Galway United under contract. Since 2001 it ranks among the firm existence of Longford Town F. C. "my coach Matthews discovered and after Longford got me. He is a very good manager and I has much respect for him ", remembers Lavine, which is like its fellow player half professional and follows in Longford Town of a regulated work as a Carpenter. Of course he hopes that he will stand tomorrow in the starting formation. "I want to finally show, what I have drauf." Delicate task A delicate task expects the colored aggressor. "Vaduz is a good team. We hope that we can offer Paroli ", so Eric Lavine. That it and its at present jams have colleagues in the offensive, it takes calmly to the knowledge. "is even like that in the football. There are not phases, there meets one. We hope the fact that we find the way back on Thursday again to our strength and will obtain some gates ", sounds the man from the Karibik self-confidently. But four hurt at the guest team Against first information from the surrounding field of Longford Town F. C has also the Irish Cupsieger hurt players to deplore. Above all the absence of Paul Keegan (Knoechelverletzung) weighs heavily. The strongest stuermer was missing last already for weeks, why in the last four portions only a gate success succeeded. U21-Spieler Brian Byrne (muscle injury), refining country (Adduktorenverletzung) and Brian McGovern - it hurt itself in the last play against Dublin town center - fail Thursday for the first leg tomorrow, likewise. No TV transmission Today besides - beside numerous fans - some Irish journalists in Vaduz are expected. A TV Liveuebertragung to Ireland will not give it by the way, will only report a national radio station live from the Rhine park stadium. Beginning of play: DO 19,30 o'clock.

Love that bit, desribing McGovern as it, and Dublin Town Center...

Some nasty translations there... :eek:

Jaysus, it's like drunken conversations at 3am, you're not sure what they're saying but you think you know bits of it.

Had to laugh at the description of Lavine as "the colored agressor"..The lad that wrote that article is the Vaduz P.R.O. who was continually fed sh*t by Town officials, hence Keegan being our best striker

Only got to see the last few days papers, looks like Vaduz seem to be experts in mind games and skullduggery... wonder if we'll have a few tricks up our sleeve for the home leg. Alls fair in love and war and UEFA cup ties...

Didn't get the impression they were up to mind games, they were pretty sure they'd give us a decent tanking, they didnt really rate us and I dont think they do still. I've a hope their lack of preparation is going to haunt them..they're only arriving into the country Wednesday evening and from what our players have said you need at least a day or two to be fully right for the game..

One other thing thats worth noting is that their budget is €2.4m a year and they have 18 full time professionals..If we beat them we'll be doing well but its definitely possible with a bit of luck..You have to look beyond the fact that they're from Liechtenstein and consider the loolah they've got to lure players to them..They have a silent backer who bankrolls them apparently, not that there's many poor folk in Liechtenstein anyway, sponsorship would be quite high
