Cork Hibs got a walkover against them in 74 due to the small matter of a Greek coup and Turkish invasion.
That win vs Apollon was amazing. Champions league game. They were a completely different level to what we'd played previously. Rock solid defense and a Dan Murray header put us through. Won the home game 1-0 and 1-1 over there. He's hoping for the same!
No precedent for the current club in Cork so.Quote:

What's the general view for our game on Wed night lads? Its certainly just a little more tricky than FH at the same stage last year.
I think we can get a result, have to say I'd be very happy with a 0-0 draw or a score draw, a narrow win is probably too much to expect but confidence is slowly building. It would be just great to still be in the tie for the away leg, and I think we have a great chance of that.
Not sure they took up more than 100 tickets, so should be great atmosphere, I think the attendance will be limited to 3,200 - 3,300 (max)
Six weeks ago - not a chance.
But ye're form since then has been very good; nine clean sheets in ten is a serious record. Rosenborg are probably about BATE standard so...you never know.
They look a better team than FH on paper but with characters like Bendtner in there they might also be taking things for granted.Quote:

Their League form hasn't been great lately. Dropped points against sides towards the bottom of the Division and leak a lot of goals. Dundalk playing well, not conceding, game is at Oriel. Add to the fact that despite transfers, the bulk of that squad have a wealth of experience in Europe. My prediction is the tie will still be alive going into the 2nd leg. I also fancy Dundalk to score over there. You have a chance and as an unseeded side, that's all you can really hope for.
Was that not Molde?Quote:

Not sure, but hope I'm not jinxing it, Rogers has been in unbelievable form in the past 2 months, his confidence is back to top level and the 9 clean sheets in last 10 backs that up.
Come to think of it the one that wasn't a clean sheet, the 3-0 defeat to Cork, he wasn't at fault for any, O'Donnell at fault for the 3rd but overall it was probably the best performance I saw Maguire play, he was simply unstoppable.
Yeah we were 2 up over there late on and he punched a corner into the netQuote:

Rogers punched a Rosenborg corner towards his own goal in that game too, but luckily this one hit the crossbar and didn't go in. It's at 2m54s in the clip.
