No, they don't get that. For qualifiers you only get the money for qualifiers you play in.Quote:

I didn't have a huge amount of hope for our clubs coming in to this season. Now there is genuine reason for optimism. Everyone has a chance to progress, Pats and Dundalk even with a glimmer that at least one of them could win the following round as well. I think if that were to happen, we'd all take it and it'd be an incredibly successful year.
Fully aware that there's a long way to go, all of the above would be a miracle, I'd probably be happy enough even if it ended up with only Dundalk progressing past FH, and taking their chances in an EL playoff but especially for Dundalk, this is a huge opportunity to make massive strides in Europe and financially, the income and profile generated from losing the 4th round playoff game and going in to the Europa League groups would be far greater than even what Shamrock Rovers received.
Correct, I left the Gothenburg one out.Quote:

That would be great. Think us and yourselves have given ourselves a great platform to progress and hopefully we both do it. Hoping for a big crowd for us too between 4.5 - 5k would be goodQuote:

I got an email from the FAI advertising Shamrock Rovers' Europa game. Nothing on any other game. Baffling why they'd choose one club and not the others.
Because Rovers sent them a digital flyer and asked them to send it on to the mailing list.Quote:

"Baffling" indeed.
Pats did their own posters. They had an ad in the Star and the posters were spread through the various social media channels.Quote:

Fair enough, I had a look around and didn't see one but clearly didn't look hard enough.
A couple of hours to kick off FH v Dundalk, weather is unusually hot and balmy, perfect for football. In the sports pages this morning there was an article about Dundalk, the headline was 'Dundalk are a strong team up to Icelandic standards'
this was expressed as a statement of fact. As praise goes here, it doesn't get better than that. Strong team refers to viking values of fortitude, gumption, moral courage etc etc and to be regarded as up to the Icelandic standard is the gold. In between the words it's saying, forget about Glenavon, Bohs, Cork and Pats, this Dundalk team are the real deal and FH will have to dig deep.
I have to say I felt tingles of pride.
KR were poor last year, but we were awful. By all accounts, Dundalk were poor last week, but still should have won comfortably. However, they didn't. If Dundalk perform, I don't think FH will live with them. All will be revealed soon I'd suppose.Quote:

Why are our clubs grouped with Glenavon btw?

No commentary but you can hear the crowd.

No commentary, stream is good quality, Dundalk under the kosh so far
Great goal from FH - 1-0
Crap.
Wait to see the time wasting from their keeper. Every time there is a kick out he will walk away giving out to his defenders.
wow, that was poor, too easy
But sure that's what these teams do play sh1tw football away from home and turn on the style at home.
