Wasn't that basically the same issue as with Levadia? How come they weren't made to use an alternative ground?Quote:

Tickets flying out the door for the second round - almost certainly another sell out this Thursday - with the Pats league game sandwiched in between. We could have 13-15k people at the cross in 8 days. Potetnially more but the hurlers are playing in the Munster final is on Sunday so many will head to Thurles for that.

Rovers played at least one euro match in Tolka at the start of the KRAM protest in Aug / Sep 1987, possibly a Cypriot side, not sure what the attendance was but it was hugely effected by the boycott. I have vague memories watching a report from RTE on this.

Was the Levadi game a sell out though? I thought I read somewhere that this was the second highest attendance of the season with slightly more at the Dundalk game earlier in the season? Nothing takes away from a brilliant attendance mind.Quote:

I cannot keep up my self imposed Bradley-watch exile after reading his post match quotes:
"I felt they were very arrogant after the first game over there - they talked like they were the better team and that we got a lucky goal"
I hope they did not say they battered Rovers.
Thanks for your interest as always :)
They did batter us in Tallaght, to be fair. As in they pumped the ball up to the big men and when that didn't work they two-footed Trevor Clarke. If Cork City weren't playing a game at the time they'd have been appalled.Quote:

It was a sellout of tickets we were allowed to sell. Different capacity rules for Europe. Same amount next week
Has any irish team ever beaten a cypriot one?
Cork did about ten years ago anyway.
And also back in the day when Cypriot clubs were crap.
Edit - rsssf.com is your bible for stuff like that.
Well I remember the Hoops beating Apoel Nicosia back in the late 1970s.Quote:

Cork Hibs got a walkover against them in 74 due to the small matter of a Greek coup and Turkish invasion.
That win vs Apollon was amazing. Champions league game. They were a completely different level to what we'd played previously. Rock solid defense and a Dan Murray header put us through. Won the home game 1-0 and 1-1 over there. He's hoping for the same!
No precedent for the current club in Cork so.Quote:

What's the general view for our game on Wed night lads? Its certainly just a little more tricky than FH at the same stage last year.
I think we can get a result, have to say I'd be very happy with a 0-0 draw or a score draw, a narrow win is probably too much to expect but confidence is slowly building. It would be just great to still be in the tie for the away leg, and I think we have a great chance of that.
Not sure they took up more than 100 tickets, so should be great atmosphere, I think the attendance will be limited to 3,200 - 3,300 (max)
Six weeks ago - not a chance.
But ye're form since then has been very good; nine clean sheets in ten is a serious record. Rosenborg are probably about BATE standard so...you never know.
They look a better team than FH on paper but with characters like Bendtner in there they might also be taking things for granted.Quote:

Their League form hasn't been great lately. Dropped points against sides towards the bottom of the Division and leak a lot of goals. Dundalk playing well, not conceding, game is at Oriel. Add to the fact that despite transfers, the bulk of that squad have a wealth of experience in Europe. My prediction is the tie will still be alive going into the 2nd leg. I also fancy Dundalk to score over there. You have a chance and as an unseeded side, that's all you can really hope for.
Was that not Molde?Quote:

Not sure, but hope I'm not jinxing it, Rogers has been in unbelievable form in the past 2 months, his confidence is back to top level and the 9 clean sheets in last 10 backs that up.
Come to think of it the one that wasn't a clean sheet, the 3-0 defeat to Cork, he wasn't at fault for any, O'Donnell at fault for the 3rd but overall it was probably the best performance I saw Maguire play, he was simply unstoppable.
Yeah we were 2 up over there late on and he punched a corner into the netQuote:

Rogers punched a Rosenborg corner towards his own goal in that game too, but luckily this one hit the crossbar and didn't go in. It's at 2m54s in the clip.
