My memory could be faulty, but I’m sure we got a much better attendance in our last European game in Tallaght. I thought I recalled about 7,000. (Could be wrong, mind)Quote:

It was €20 for an adults ticket when we played CSKA Sofia.Quote:

I would say less than a hundred but at the very most 100. Yeah they were a nasty shower, plastered Tallaght with Swastika/CSKA stickers and racially abused a couple of Pats players both in person and online after itQuote:

Watched the highlights of the games. Rovers really are their own worst enemy sometimes with messing around in and around their own box. If they cleared the lines a bit more I think they’d concede less. That aside, they played ok and had some chances. Pitch was horrendous. Celje are bang ordinary. Lot of whistling at the end, I think they expected to win by two to three goals. This lot are beatable if Rovers play at a level they are capable of.
I wouldn’t go near Sofia again. On the surface it’s a decent sort of city but their football culture should be avoided. A few of us got jumped on outside our hotel.Quote:

Virgin considering/negotiating I think, could be a last minute decision if they can change their TV schedule to suit! :confused:Quote:

Yeah Pats is on Solidsport again this week. I’d imagine they give a better fee than LOITV. They’re a Swedish company that cover clubs from many different countries and interestingly I saw a clip of the Pats goal from last weeks game and it had Swedish commentary and tv channel markings on screen so I presume they might even be broadcasting it on TV over there, but at the very least onlineQuote:

Solid sports very good at promoting the games on social media and give away free passes to each game.
Celje manager saying they should win tonight becasue they are a better team. Unusual to see a manager being so outspoken in advance of a match, default these days is more "no easy games etc etc" Pohls made a couple of excelent saves to keep us in it out there so i can see why he is confident but lets see.
I thought Vikeinger would beat us in Tallaght on the basis of how dominant they were in Iceland 17 corners etc etc and was wrong there so hopefully Rovers can turn this one around.
The problem for LOI sides has been keeping clean sheets. You get the feeling Rovers need at least 2 in this one just to even get to ET. Pats need at least 1.
100% we need at least 2, cant see us keeping a clean sheet.Quote:

Jesus, The pats keeper looks nervy. Both on saves and distribution
Anyone have a link for either of the games?
