I did go in the Shels end at the Oval in 2005 but otherwise haven't been to any non Limerick European away games for our clubs. I know of the odd fan doing an away trip with another club. It
can be down to a mate or maybe just a good offer or a country they wanted to visit. If I had the time and the money I'd probably go to 1 or 2 myself. However if/when Limerick get back into Europe I would go no matter where we play.
Anyone who is a fan of football in general should want to support Irish teams and encourage them to play at a higher level. Doesn't mean you have to buy a shirt and paint your face in the team's colours, but I don't see anything strange or unusual about showing a bit of support for your otherwise rivals in that particular situation.
We had those 2 Drogheda fans in our section in Berlin but i think they were just in Berlin at the time didnt travel over specifically for the matchQuote:

I see it as supporting our league in Europe. Bohs are closer to home than TNS, so why shouldn't I support Bohs for the night?
I think the difference being made was between going along to support a LoI club and actively joining in with the main vocal support, singing their songs.
I was talking to one of them and they were living in Berlin at the time. We also had a Finn Harps fan who lived about an hour from berlin at the game. If I was abroad I'd almost certianly attend any LOI teams games locallyQuote:

I just don't believe in the whole "we HAVE to support each other in europe". If you do, then fair play to you
Is tonight's game even on RTÉ Radio 1 Extra? The Salzburg game in the same round last year was on TV/radio if I remember correctly...
The Salzburg game was on Austrian TV, with streaming on the internet. Wasn't on RTÉ, TV or radio, as I recall.
No, - well not anymore. The goal previously was to get all LOI entrants into a position where they could win a round or two in Europe. The best way to achieve this was supporting other teams in their quest for European success as this helped to increase the LOI ranking and in turn lead to LOI clubs being seeded upon entering European competition. But now that we are in the position that we are now in as a league, I don't believe rival fans need to support/ wish teams good luck. I think the onus is now on the individual club to push things forward, rather getting the league as a whole to do so.Quote:

As much as I give out about Rovers or Bohs or whoever, there is a kind of LoI community, particularly if you meet a fan of another team on the way home from a match*. I've no problems supporting any LoI team in Europe - and I'll quite happily play the hypocrite in hoping Bohs and Fingal's over-spending stops soon for the good of the league - and it's got nothing to do with the co-efficient.
* - nod to the Aertel Sligo fan and the Bohs fan who managed to use the another lad's flash to get a picture taken on his phone in Kiely's after the Bohs game last week, and to the Rovers fans on the LUAS after the draw in Dalyer among others.
thanks Stu, thats exactly what I tried (obviously badly :() to say. have gone to see many LOI teams in European games but would not be as involved as at a Bohs match.Quote:

Are any of the welsh channels showing this this evening or does anyone know if this is been streamed on justintv or some place?
I dont know why this is the case as I there are sports people in RTE that would have called for it.Quote:

However with TNS I'm not sure if they would demand much money.
A game like this if advertised properly would certainly triple any Friday night LOI live viewing figures and just might make your half average casual/barstooler take interest too.
Shame really
RTE will have that top of their sports news bulletin tonight. Bet ya ;-)Quote:

Pineapple Stu - thats the nicest thing you've said about Bohs in my time on this board, no matter how indirect it was. Are you going soft in your old age? ;)Quote:

Ya same as that, hope Bohs, Shams and Dundalk all the best of luck.
As for Sporting Franchise...
That's always been my attitude. it's just ye over-spend more often than ye play in Europe, so that's the side ye get to see most often. :pQuote:

Can't find anything online for it but a few other Champions League games are streamed here : http://www.atdhe.net/index.html
Surprise result in Malta with Birkirkara beating Zilina from Slovakia. Another warning for Bohs ahead of tonight. Hapoel Tel Aviv 2-0 on Zelnejnicar as well which would help us with regard to the coefficient.
