No exucuses for not winning over 2 legs.

Lithuania may be summer season but I was surprised how Cork City fitter than in away leg last year.

Maybe the fact the Lithuanian team are favourites is something you should consider?

We are the UNSEEDED team and although I will travel in the morning and expect a win I dont think there is no excuse for not winning. Considering what rumours are around these days who knows what will happen. Shels have not really hit the standards they set for a few months before the Deportivo game. Theres been some awful displays this season.

Lads,jealousy is a terrible thing!

Jealous of what? We are in the UEFA cup and you's are in the Intertwo bob cup.

I don't like Shels and I don't go for this love in that all EL supporters seem to do when clubs are in Europe. As far as I'm concerned the team I want to see doing well in Europe is Drogheda Utd.

Load of rubbish. I did not say you have to beat them away but if you cannot progress to round 2 will be letting the league down.

You were in the CL last season, Vetra were 30+ points worse than their CL & Uefa Cup entrants.

Vetra knocked Scottish side Hibs out two years ago at this stage, and went on to reach the third round. Could be tricky for Shels.

Hibs had just gotten a new manager, were well out of season and were in confusion. Was a good feat for them of course, but Shels don't have the same excuse.

Your ignorance astounds me. First of all, we'll never actually meet in Europe so how cheering on a fellow EL club could be damaging to Drogs I dont know. Secondly if Drogheda want to be the only team doing well in Europe then you had better look forward to playing in a awful lot of preliminary rounds because the only way EL football will improve its standing in Europe is if all the clubs do well and our coeffecient goes up. Personally i'll be supporting all EL teams in Europe this season. I'll be down in Dalyer to cheer on Drogheda as well.

As for the Pats and Bohs heads who will be cheering on the lithuanians, good luck with that lads

Boo hoo! Listen its nothing personal, just rivalry.

I don't like to see Shels winning, either in the league or Europe. Same can go for Bohs and Cork. Its just a thing I have.

Good luck to Shels (all in the name of co-efficiency of course;) ).

but in europe it makes no difference! in fact it helps when all Irish teams are winning! I'd never support another team in the league but in Europe I follow any team (except Longford ;) ) because it actually benefits Shels to have teams performing good in Europe

i was always under the impression that the co-efficient is not affected by the intertwo-bob cup, so accordingly i will allow my jealousy (!!) at the drogs not being in this competition affect my support in this tie - come on the lithuanians

The intertoto cup doesnt effect coefficients but i was talking in generalities. Anyway, I'll be in Dalyer to cheer on the baldy midget and his troops in July. I'm the bigger man, see?? :D ;)

well said.
supporting each other in wurope is pathetic and makes a mockery of our own rivalries.
milan fans dont support juve in europe.Barcelona fans dont support real madrid in europe.so why should we put aside our allegiances?? it makes light of our own clubs and league

Milan don't have to support Juve cos they don't have to worry about co-effients. We do. If you ever want any El team to move forward and qualify for group stages in Europe we need every team to do well every year. That is the only way we can move to become seeded and make it to the group stages.

Or do you just not care about Europe at all?? Cos if the 4 teams in Europe don't do well this year then we'll be moving backwards not towards the Group stages
