Point made lets leave it there.Quote:

Sure.
It was obvious to everybody else (and even a few more honest Rovers fans) that it was racist chanting.Quote:

To be fair, there will be plenty of casual fans there whose season-ticket holding friends and family members get them in. It's their reward for investing in a season ticket so even as a fan I can't complain.
Don't feel bad if you get a ticket. The die hard Shams fans are quite rightly catered for with all season ticket holders having first option on tickets.Quote:

But from the club perspective, the tickets will sell..
There were no excuses, as there was nothing to excuse. We did it then, we did it last night, we'll do it next week, and we'll do it next year. It is a clean chant merely stating who we are, and nothing to do with racism.Quote:

Funny, I've never seen him up in Tallaght. Maybe somebody in the know could get the real Bono in a Rovers shirt in the stadium in Turin while the game is on down the autostrada!
It's a joke account.
Thanks for pointing out my error - i edited the post to make it clear it wasn't true.Quote:

Well done to Shams, great stuff.
Went to the Bohs game for my sins with DCFCSteve, up from London. Bohs were a complete mess, no heart, no passion. Were rudderless. But TNS are a decent team, and they def deserved the win. I expect them to win the Welsh league at a canter, and they are a full time set up.
Fingal were unlucky, scoring 4 goals and not getting even a draw, and at least Dundalk got us some co efficients.
When the draws were made, I only expected one team in the next round - Bohs, so Im not too disappointed for the LOI. The LOI teams got tough draws this season, so well done to Shams for getting to the next round
Was half thinking of heading to Italy on a cheap flight from London, but my wife is after hiding my passport -LOl
Now dont call me crazy and do hear me out here.Quote:

It explains it all, and id say it also explains why you have openly Facist fans on your forum and why you have the same clowns over on Stormfr@nt.
It all stems from the "hoops hoops" chant.
Sad that you had to bring this up again and try and fob it off with the general positive feeling for Shams after their result.

What stadium is the Juve v Rovers game in?
Stadio Alberto Braglia. Its a 20,000 seater, Modena FC's ground. Not sure if that'll be big enough for all the hoops travelling but its the best they can do thanks to Bono's antics...Quote:

Pure minnowism to soil your teams achivement by dragging up crap like that, enjoy your success as SRFC and leave us to get back to winning our title :rolleyes:

Is Rovers v Juventus on TV? As of last night there was nothing on RTE website. I live in London but my local has all the Irish channels.
game is definitely live on RTE 2 Stuttgart
Is that like the RTE in Ireland, or a special German version....? ;)Quote:

......and according to RTE (and MNS' Twitter page) the game will be available live on the RTE website across the world (except in Italy where the rights have been bought by Mediaset). Good news for the exiles who won't have to trawl the web for exotic European TV channels.Quote:

Fair enough. I won't be supporting Rovers on Thursday night myself, but I'd still like to watch it to see how they get on. Your first post came across as being slightly bitter towards them because they're getting a big day in the sun, but I was wrong. I guess watching Barca is a decent enough excuse :)
Wait, were we all supposed to RSVP to that post?
Sorry, RTE and Rovers, I'll be washing my bald head that night
I will be watching. But I shall be sporting my Juve jersey that day because I don't like Shams. I have two. One for tomorrow and one for Thursday.
Off-topic, but do people generally wear their club shirts if/when they watch them on TV? Not a criticism, but I've never really understood doing it at home. Maybe in the pub but even then probably not.
I'm usually at the game. I wear my nicest boxers and a Rovers related t-shirt.
CSKA 1:0 Cliftonville 60 mins
After fullback Pavel Vidanov scored in the ninth minute for CSKA (pron. seska), Cliftonville have held their own. CSKA are shooting from long range.
CSKA 3-0 Cliftonville - 2 goals in a minute
Garrett sent off for cliftonville with 2 yellows in a minute
God knows what will happen in the next minute.
2-0 to Anderlecht away to TNS after 18 minutes really provides further evidence of how bad a result last Tuesday was for Bohs
