Probably confusion between weekly and monthly wages? Not all players in the top division are fulltime pros.

But yes Anders Svensson is well paid. Got a good signing-on bonus as well. Heard new signing Lasse Nilsson is on big money, something like €65,000 a month.

Could be right on the "lost in translation" bit alright. Being drunk didn't help. And the €30,000 was actually 300,000 kronas. We double checked the amount...

Anders Svensson is on SEK 200,000 a month, which is roughly €21,000. The top players in the Swedish league would be on something similar.

But there is one exception - Lasse Nilsson. He's the best paid player in the Swedish league at the moment - he's on loan from French side St Etienne (sp?) until the end of the season at €65,000 a month.

Whats to story with the home leg ticket arrangements? Is it a fully seated affair? What will the capacity be? Are many tickets pre sold?

So whats your prediction?

:o:)hahaha

Well done Pats!

I suppose us Sligo Rovers fans can pick up the crumb of comfort that is we seemed to give you a harder match that the Elfs did.

However all the glory goes to Pats. Of all the Dublin clubs it is yourselves I like to see succeed most, ye just seem to know how to do things right.

Not for one moment do I think you will get the credit you deserve and no doubt those who are determined to find a cloud in every silver lining - and there are a lot of people who make a good living out of doing just that - are just waiting to see you come unstuck in the next round.

However real Irish football supporters recognise your achievement and celebrate it with you. WELL DONE.

P.S. If people were right in this country they should fill Croke Park for the next round. After all they will fill it to go and see non-descript rubbish that are International Friendlies!
