Stuey Byrnes pre match comment that Ludogorets are beatable looking pretty funny now.
Exactly what I was thinking - this is on all of you!Quote:

Riga got a direct charter, albeit into Dublin (and their owner came in his own plane into Derry).
There's an obvious gulf in class in this game, but if Rovers managed to keep it scoreless for the rest of the game (big ask, admittedly) it's certainly not over.
Should be a wee bit cooler in the second half too, so that'll help.
Shows the research he did for tonight. Chancer just rolled up tonight and dished out the same aul drivel.Quote:

A tournament below the Conference would be ideal. Jokes aside, it's all that we can aim for really. There will still be the odd massive side in it no matter what you do, but a better stage of existence for clubs of our capabilities here.Quote:

Do Rovers not have a kit that'd be less of a colour clash?
Surely you mean Hoare ?Quote:

Hoare has always looked out of his depth in European matches. Even back to his Dundalk days.Quote:

Don’t really expect Hoare to be up to much. Lopes is usually very good and composed. Not that at all tonight.Quote:

The white sleeves on our home shirt according to Cowzer in The Sun.Quote:

This ref is a joke. There's a red card coming for someone who barely deserved to get booked
Can't imagine it's helpful as a player
Watts has been very poor. It's a pity for Rovers that all of their attacks seem to end with him on the ball. Gaffney and Towell have done well.
Yeah Watts really letting us down. Everything falling apart when it hits him.
Surely this should be all decided before the night. As in the league tell Dundalk you can’t wear your white jersey when playing away to Pats. Or rather this is what you have to wear this night.Quote:

These lads have dropped off the pace massively. It'll be a travesty if rovers don't go and do something with it.
Jesus wept :rolleyes:Quote:

Dundalk previously wore a black and amber kit , I’m not sure if they still use it. That would have avoided a clash.Quote:

2-0 is the most dangerous lead in football don't forget!Quote:

Problem is Ludogorets' defence seems quite solid (haven't conceded a goal yet this season for example), so scoring twice (at least) looks quite a long shot at this stage.
Must say, I’ve been converted on Gaffney. I thought he was just a big mullacker. Looks like a Mayo corner forward, but he’s very effective as a hold up player.
Shkupi 1-0 up away to Dinamo Zagreb after 30 minutes.
Losers (probably) play Rovers in the Europa League.
Would be typical if Rovers got the easiest draw only for the crap team to actually win and leave them lumped with Dinamo instead!
Very disappointing from rovers the balls in have been so poor. This is turning into another slovan where they'll cop ok when it's too late. Ludochris are way off the pace in the second half, rovers needed to do much better this half.
Their only shot in the game so far. You certainly need some luck in these games and to take your limited chances when you get them.
Getting shots away is a major achilles heel that LOI sides in Europe have.Quote:

Good night
Awful stuff to concede there…
