Good luck to South Dublin Rovers tomorrow night. I hope it's an historic night for the club. I don't want to get into predictions. The side that finished 5th in the UK's southern league to qualify for this competition will be a very difficult opponent.
I'll be at the game. I hope Rovers at least make it competitive.
Fair play to you,is there many Shams fans/others etc.. heading over to the match,i believe that there are a couple of "same day" charters heading over ??Quote:

If, however, an Irish team in Europe wins or loses a match it has a much bigger effect on the standing of our league in European football than the results of any single club in the established leagues (England, Germany, Italy, Spain) so it's not really comparable.Quote:

Good luck to Shamrock Rovers tonight. Hopefully they can put in a good performance and be competitive for as much of the game as possible. I'd like to see McCabe pit himself against the Spurs players, I thought it was strange that he didn't get playing -v- Rubin Kazan.
I am heading to the match. Meeting up with a good few lads who wouldn't even normally go to Ireland matches.
I was even emailing other lads about work related stuff/other stuff non football related and mentioned i was going for pints and to the game and they are going too. Thats 15 lads i wouldn't normally expect to see at football matches, and im sure im just one of many in this position. Should be a sizable "rovers" support there.
PAOK just equalised against Rubin. 2-2 now. Going to be tough for Rovers to pick up points in this group and PAOK look decent, even away from home.
Well we always knew PAOK were Partizan-standard at worst. Rubin would have expected to beat them, but likewise PAOK will expect to beat Rovers.
