Odense only started pre-season on Wednesday or something, so perhaps we can do a job over there. Having them away first is certainly a big help.
Last night, well. Where to start? What a spectacle! Their discipline was insane, absolutely insane! The first red card after 3 minutes was when Crowe broke free and was literally wrestled to the ground by the recovering last man just outside the box! They must have got about 10 card in all, most of them for very bad tackles. Jumping recklessly into mad challenges, lunging all over the place. There were several tackles that were very lucky no player was on the end of, jumping two footed from miles away at them - however, watching Boddy Dazzler dancing past them was great craic! ;)
As for the Shelbourne performance, unconvincing to be honest. Could, nay should, have been many many more goals. To be honest, it was like watching Arsenal sometimes - dancing with the ball around the box, but the final ball in wasn't great, or just taking to long to build up and losing momentum. It was a training exercise more than anything, even saw Alan Reynolds having a pop from 25/30 yards! Most players were just out there having fun, which was good to see, but will need to up it a gear against Odense! Well, I'm smiling about it all anyways! :D
Vetra were exactly the same in the first leg...

Game was shocking in terms of good football but was very enjoyable with all the goals and cards and the win of course.
I take it this means the game against city nxt fri is postponed then?
Well the team fly to Denmark on the Thursday so unless you want to follow over and play it then I would think its safe enough to say its off.Quote:

Good luck in the next round to Shels - they have a real chance of making it through to the UEFA cup. considering they could have been playing Odense for the right to play Villareal or Newcastle, Hibs doesn't look like a bad draw really. Would be great to get another team into coefficient country.
True. Shels v Hibs would be a very interesting tie, not least from the point of view of all those threads saying the eL is a similar standard to the SPL minus the top couple of teams...
well done to Shels. Good luck to them in the next round.
Re the Attendance, was the match advertised for our local Lithuainian Community?
personally I didn't notice any advertising for it, unless there was some when we were in Lithuania, but thats doubtful, there were a couple of people, maybe 4-5 in the pub after from our Lithuanian community...
