Just difficult to get a spot in Dublin. Shkupi had to land in Shannon yesterday.

If only the Irish government actually cared enough to do that!
Should send all the rest of the teams to Carrickfinn,do it properly!!
Didn't Rovers have to drive to Shannon in order to get to Bulgaria, or was it Malta?
Malta I think,Pats had to fly out of Knock yesterday aswell…
shower of crybabies. Hope Rovers pump them
Shannon to get to Malta and split up and went three different ways to get to Bulgaria. I think they have a charter from Dublin for this round.
They're crying on social media that Shamrock Rovers "has decided not to sell its broadcasting rights in our country or Albania!" and that it's costing €10 to stream the game via LOITV.
Supporters on FC Shkupi Facebook page, hundreds of comments stating how they'll get their revenge next week. I'm assuming some poor translation is happening from Facebooks own translation of the home fans languages, but there's some lovely remarks on there about Irish and such things.
Might watch now to see what kind of evil they plan to inflict on Rovers.
Well it's hardly the club's fault but you can't blame them really. I'm on the border currently between north Macedonia and Albania and there's no interest in euro round football of any kind here on TV as I'd asked around in the hope of watching and no one knows about it in the bars! But playing some obscure teams on the TV all the same.
Someone does need to tell them mura had to do the same though. It is a bit of an ingenious plan, disrupt all teams including Ireland's own :D
The state of that statement..😁
Macedonians going round with a bit of a chip on their shoulder methinks. Getting their excuses in early maybe. They should re-route them through the jack lynch tunnel in Cork on the way back, and maybe have their
bus run out of juice in a moyross estate in Limerick.
Poor man's mind games from Shkupi there. Do they even have that many fans to want to watch it ? God knows why they should be worried about whether or not the rights have bene sold to Albania or not. Sound like a serious bunch of whingers.
Of course it's a proper country.
kksaints has explained it quite correctly. Or take a quote from their wiki page - "Similarly to Shkėndija, FK Shkupi is an Albanian oriented club, with the supporters being Albanian and also part of the Tifozat Kuq e Zi, an ultras group that supports Albania in international football. Nationalist Albanian rhetoric is often a part of the chanting in league games."
Their complaints are...well, let's hope something's been added in translation.
