Pats v Warsaw live on Setanta on Wednesday.
to answer a earlier question the reason banga had only 14 squad plyrs was four othrs got refused visas!
They have a couple of players from Russia, Ukraine and Moldova, so I'm guessing it must have been them. I know the remainder of the team were Lithuanian nationals and thus free to travel as EU citizens, but, for the sake of argument, what might have happened had a significant enough number of players been denied visas by the Irish government so as to disable Banga from selecting eleven starters? Would Banga have been deemed to have failed to fulfill the fixture and Sligo awarded a victory? It would seem unusual that a government body might have such potentially extreme or direct influence as that, but I guess there's little UEFA can do about matters of international travel and to whom independent states decide to permit entry.Quote:

The Irish government should do whatever they can to improve the league's standing.
If they won't fund the domestic game properly, the least they can do is deprive the opposition of a few visas.
Hadjuk were average in the EL last year. Win and a draw in 2nd round and went out to a Georgian side in the 3rd Round. Haven't done a lot in Europe since reaching the EL Group stages a few seasons ago. Granted they'll be a step up but seem to be iffy away from home so think Dundalk have a chance.
If the government showered the FAI in money, you would still have Delaney and co. in charge. Nothing will ever change.Quote:

Did Aberystwyth have poppies on their jerseys?:

Any particular reason behind that seeing as poppy season is usually around November?
And a snap of the crowd, here, featuring Danny Lafferty and James McClean:

It should be pointed out, of course, that James wasn't wearing a poppy. :p
They're wearing the poppy all season apparently to mark the 100th anniversary.
I'm surprised they were allowed it for this game as UEFA are quite strict on what you can and can't have on your kit. I know Dundalk had to get new jerseys with a smaller Fyffes logo and no sponsor on the back.Quote:

They're not banned but I think you need permission. Either UEFA weren't that bothered about a low-profile game or else Aberstwyth didn't ask.Quote:

Tyskie is far from cheap lads!
You lads are no craic. Sure it's a moot point anyway as Pats will be involved in a bonus dispute long before they think about boarding a plane for Varshava.

I didn't know that! The poppy is only a hundred years old....Quote:

200+ visitors from Croatia for a qualifying round game is pretty impressive. Maybe having the first round will work out well for Dundalk. Pity for the town most of the visitors will probably bus in from Dublin.
Supposidly they have asked for more tickets aswell, doubt they will get any more.Quote:

Split has organsied a hotel in camden street for all there fans travelling and will only be coming to Dundalk on the day of the game, other fans may have made there own arrangments but the majorty will be based in Dublin pre/after match.
Thats a piety. Its moments like this that would make business people of the town appreciate the clubQuote:
