Yes I think Cork have a great chance of going through. Slavia arent doing so well.
The fact that the away leg is first gives them some hope. A goal out there and you never know. But having seen Slovan Liberec up close twice they are technically very gifted so...........
What is troubling is that cork's 2 league fixtures around the Slavia games have apparently been called off. IMO this is an absolute disgrace and this isnt an anti cork jibe. Shels too should have played Harps in between the Steaua games.
There is NO excuse as both teams have large squads and are full time professionals. I feel sorry for the clubs with no games as they will lose out as the refixed games will take place midweek in front of a reduced crowd.
No other league would tolerate this rubbish. Imagine in england a club calling off league fixtures just because they are in europe? Preposterous.
Hopefully Irish clubs will continue to do well in Europe in the coming seasons but does this mean we can call a halt to the league just cos the league administrators are a joke? :mad:

Well in fairness, the Longford game has just been moved back a day from the Saturday to the Sunday, but thats the reality of a league which plays its games on a Friday night. If we're playing on a thursday in Prague, you can't expect us to play on Friday back in Ireland, surely! I agree its messy, and the only thing it leads to is fixture congestion, but I don't see how it can be sorted any better. Suggestions?Quote:
