The thing is skstu, this neo-anti-anybody-not-in-the EL Family stuff gets boring after a while. I am not anti EL at all, in fact I'd love to see it doing well. So lose that fast.
stu, I meant because of his experience in Europe, maybe thats why he is so conservative, given he knows that 100% concentration and the rate with which errors are pounced upon he feels he has to be.
EL teams should feel confident and an inner belief to beat these teams(beaten before they take to the field etc), otherwise they will never progress, after all winning breeds confidence.
Finally, winning against latvian opposition will help bring in crowds i.e. winning against such opposition will eventually draw bigger clubs and help advertise the league. If this occurred year on year crowds would flock to the league.
His experiences in Europe have largely been because of his conservative attitude. There's no magical aura in Europe which makes mid-table Latvian teams pounce on errors quicker.Quote:

How do you expect us to respect what you post when you come onto this forum not 5 minutes after the game is over and start this rubbish. I didnt see you come on to congratulate the league or Bohs when we put Rhyl away scoring a hatful in the process.
Im not surprised as i have seen this crap from you before but maybe if you waited a while and read about the game you might have a slightly different opinion. Lets just say the "sportsmanship" of the Latvians from last week continued this week.
Anyway, i dont expect you to care too much about the game itself as you have now got the attention you seem to desperately crave. Congratulations.
I personally know that the Latvian League is no better than the League of Ireland, for the top teams in Ireland going out to teams from Latvia to me, is not doing the league justice, Bohs are much better than Riga, Bohs are suppose to best team in Ireland at the moment, and for them to get knocked out by slighly-above average team in Latvia, gives the league a bad name.Quote:

They are not showing a stream of the game rather a 'Live Play' MarketQuote:

I thought Bohs were unlucky. The Riga team got the job done..but Bohs for me were the better side.
Their number 19 looked good. Him and Kelly were the best on the pitch with the ball at their feet.
Well, RTE are not showing the 1st Leg, Sky are showing Linfield v Dynamo ZagrebQuote:

Email mns.
At least con murphy might give a responce in his weekly behind the scenes article.

I think they're still sulking from quite rightly being told where to go by Drogheda when they wanted rights to their previous campaign gratis.
Fabio and Dan Connor (and Jason Gavin) played for the Drogs in the A league at the weekend. Fabio scored as well. Even having them on the bench (not Gavin unfortunately) should give a boost to the team. They should be ok to play in Estonia.
I think we'll do Levadia.
Also I think Pats and Cork will cruise through their first round. Pity about Bohs but it could still be a very good year in Europe.
Bohs results in the intertwobob don't influence the co-efficient anyway (afaik) so makes no difference to the rest of the league that they're gone IMO.Quote:

Re: the TV broadcasts. In the very recent it's being the norm to delay announcing a live broadcast to aid ticket sales. In the meantime if anyone is interested in any of the matches they should go to them.
Live radio coverage of both games on RTÉ LW tomorrow - see the last paragraph.
Your right about the intertoto but it could have been very significant for the co-efficient had they got to the UEFA cup through the intertotoQuote:

This is a better link - will give a proper breakdown of what teams have gained what points as well as who is left and who is gone out of Europe

Just noticed that some of the CL games have already been played and Llanelli did us a huge favour by beating the Latvian Champions.
With respect to the other countries around us, Modrica beat Dinamo Tirana and Kaunas beat the Andorrans.
God the coefficients, jesus i love this time of the year:)
