Towell has been very poor in all their games in Europe this year.
They need to be more willing to commit players forward on the counter, theres a bit of fear here. Shkupi will score at some point. Rovers need to score to settle themselves.

Couple of poor balls by Rovers giving away possession in the final third, but they're probably happy enough so far. Mannus hasn't been under major pressure. But it still feels quite open.
Is it just me or are Rovers giving away a mad amount of fouls so far?
3 nil Qarabag now and Ludogorets have melted down and got 2 sent off...
What a chance that was for Towell. Cleared off the line. Game over if that goes in.
God Towell is only a shadow of his former self. Just missed a chance he would have scored with his eyes closed in a Dundalk shirt
I’d say living in Rotherham does that to a man.Quote:

4-2 to Dinamo now. Ludogorets down to 8.
12-2 is the foul count per RTÉ. But Shkupi got yellows for both of theirs.Quote:

Rovers being a bit annoying with all the going down
Very important period now the next 10-15mins. Get through it and it will be looking good.
Rovers need to start playing a bit of football
Yea they're getting a bit ridiculous with giving it away now. They're so focused on keeping Schkupi out they've little interest in doing anything with the ball when they get it.Quote:

That's the end of that so
No comeback from this. 4-1 agg.
Game over.
Play football. Burke's pass. Goal.
And set up by Burke. Who else. Such a classy operator.
Im sure that stadium would be some spectacle with a full house, I like the high camera view too. For as much as Rovers werent knocking the ball about they werent massively under threat, in saying that the goal takes the sting out of any potential grandstand finish. I suppose with a bit of luck Skhupi could have made a half chance count but other than that its a composed performance. So professional job done and keep it going to record the win. Hoare has been very good in this game.
Thought that would have been given as a high foot.
2-0. Ultimately the expected result against a league ranked in the 50s. Well done Rovers. Wouldn't give them no chance against Ferencvaros either
Its alright. I dont like those stadiums from distance. A bit like Boris Paichadze stadiumQuote:

Brilliant especially as missing Byrne, Lopes
Well done. Very professional display once they played football i.e. brought Burke on for towell
Outstanding result. Well done Rovers. And another win for the coefficient fans 😁
Congrats Rovers! More progression for the League.
You seem to have inherited the mantle of my post as chief begrudger on this site.Quote:

Great achievement! Well done Shamrock Rovers! 6 games played. 8 more to look forward to!
The absence of calamity moments this year is almost making things dull:D
Not really. I can understand why a Rovers fan might have taken the game cautiously - although your caution was taking things to ridiculous extremes I think - but the rest of us are looking at a low-ranked side that barely dispatched Gibraltar opposition in the first round.Quote:

If you look at it purely from a logical and emotionless perspective what he's saying is fair really. Isn't he an accountant or bookkeeper or something so it makes sense :PQuote:

How much did that win guarantee for Rovers?
Not sure how much in isolation but even if they lost to Ferencvaros they’re now guaranteed over €3.3mQuote:
