The sight of grown men roaring "blow it up, ya ****!" at a wall of digital text sums up football for me. :D
Any descriptions of Fabio's goal, Dodge? Super ball in for the first one.

Good craic reading through it knowing the result, as I did. Sheridan's comment was very amusing. :DQuote:

A certain council owned ground in Dublin 24 is Uefa 3 star standard (as per SRFC design ;) ) too but apparantly Pats are going to the RDS.Quote:

RDS would be grand , I would pop along myself to watch it .
They are now in the equivalent of the 'old' first round. Officially, it's the play-offs. The bottom line is the winner of the next ties goes into the group stage.Quote:

our defender ****ed up while your mighty D.O'Brien break into the penalty area and pierced our goalie and the net. Can't say it is as nice as he did a week earlier in Dublin, but an awesome one for sure.
What was the attendance like at the Pats game?
Mostly Russian.... (ba-boom !) :DQuote:

About 13,000 of their fans showed up, according to texts we were getting from lads over there.Quote:

could pats play the next game at richmond park if they wanted to ? or do UEFA have different safety regulations for this round ?
not much of a problem for Dublin clubs but would Derry, Cork, Sligo, Dundalk etc have to move their games to Dublin if they ever got this far ?
If the closest available stadium that fit all the criteria was in Dublin, then yes!Quote:

That photo of the small pats contingent in front of the grandstand is great! So happy for them and also Fabio the 'slightly-tarnished-by-joining-scumdalk' legend!Quote:

Roll on the draw now, let's see who we'll be shouting at in the RDS - have to sort out a re-mortgage now, just to pay for the half-time burger&chips! ;)
Has anyone got details of European player appearances?
I'm wondering who has played the most Euro games? (including sub appearances)
I think Ollie Cahill was mentioned before as having the most from Cork & Shels appearances.
Also, Stuart Byrne would have a lot, from Longford, Shels, Drogs & now Pats.
Is there anywhere handy to get this info, or do I have to work through each LOI website?
Group 6
FC Zenit St. Petersburg (RUS)
FC Steaua Bucureşti (ROU)
AC Sparta Praha (CZE)
Aston Villa FC (ENG)
Odense BK (DEN)
Unseaded:
Genoa CFC (ITA)
SK Rapid Wien (AUT)
CD Nacional (POR)
Saint Patrick's Athletic FC (IRL)
NK Maribor (SVN)
Fingers crossed for Odense I think
defnitely not. Very bad memories from there (although the town is great...)Quote:

My preference (in order)
1 Villa
2 Sparta
3 Odense
4 Steaua
5 Zenith
Aston Villa would be a crowd puller for Pat's.
dont know about odense. id prefer sparta if pats want to get through. villa would get them big gates and some money i suspect.Quote:

Bad memories - good point, though it might be time to have another go at them.Quote:

Steaua above Zenit?Quote:

Absolutely. Russia = red tape and exorbitant costsQuote:
