eircom League in Europe - 2008

This is the last day of July and we are facing the prospect of only having 1 team left in Europe after July. I see out domination of the European football is well on track. A total joke we should concentrate on producing a good league and not worry about European Games FOR THE MOMENT. Cork are 4 nil down in the away league as i speak, in the bad old days as people speak about getting beat 4 nil in Finland would have been a disaster not sure what excuse the Summer soccer brigrade will use for this result.
I expect Pats to score a few against this crowd tonigh and in effect be the only team from league left in Europe in August.
People are in dream land if they think we are close to group stages of the UEFA cup or the champions league.

No excuse what so ever. A complete disaster.

That is one black mark for Matthews. He is up against it now.

LMAO. Catch a grip...its nowt to do with summer soccer FFS. The fact Matthews sent out a 4-5-1 formation should give you a better idea of where the blame should lay.

At least you are sticking to your policy for negative posting anyway, fair play to ya.

Does this actually mean that Delaney was right in going to Galway to help save a club in the league and not show his support to a club in Europe? ;)

What would you like me to say hard luck? Unlucky Haka could go all the way this year? And the ones that say Matthews is to blame are living in a fantasy world. The league is built with very little foundations the best team in the league went out to a Latvian team this year for me that says it all. Pats got a great draw against the bottom team in the Latvian league and who are only feeder team for Skonto Riga by all accounts, and that is probably the reason they are going through tonight.

Nah, he's tryin' to get some money at the races from the builders seeing as biffo doesn't have the FF tent there :D

This guy is looking for the next excuse to start a thread. The last thread he started was merged with the other Euro thread and can i suggest this one be merged too. There is no need for this thread.

Rovers Maniac in yet ANOTHER boring thread. Will it ever end?
I'm embarrassed for you. You must be the most tedious poster on this forum.

We are in the draw for the third round of the CL tomorrow (the first of August).
Pat's will win tonight.

My three year old knows that 1+1 = 2.

Someone of your intelligence doesn't. Says it all really. Its people like you that almost had us cheering for Thomas Davis. I suyppose you were also abusing Simon Webb last year

This is not exactly something new.

And with due respect Drogheda are on the road to the same scoreline in the Ukraine depending on how hard they push. Obviously better than doing it to Haka but the angry Rovers man was right in that effectively we only have at least one in Europe by next week.

in fairness there are no excuses for losing 4-0 to a finish side. Thats back to the days of yesteryear....and the lads now have their usual ammunition

Thanks.

This is a reality check for the guys who think we are knocking on the door of European football's group stages.

Childish post, to actually think you are in with a chance of beating Kiev is in itself laughable after being happy to to lose by goal at home.

Is this the result to type answer when you don't agree with what a poster is saying but you don't have anything to say?

As for the people who say this should be moved into another thread maybe so, but as long as the formats remain the same there is more chance of people on this site carrying a light saber and Driving an X wing fighter than qualifying especially for the Champions league group stages. I laugh when i hear comments about how close we are we are not ! It is the stuff of fantasy to say we are not close to Uefa Cup group stages even as we are light years away.
