HT. Terrible start but good recovery after that. Rovers definately not being outclassed here, and I reckon they can get a goal.
Great save by Thompson.

Disappointing start. Rovers seemed to improve midway through the half progress, had one or two chances. Copenhagen look dangerous though, could see them getting another goal or two.
Jaysus, when Carlsberg stepped it up in the last five minutes Rovers looked like Salthill Devon.
Anyone see that liedetector.ie ad? Could come in useful in Terryland park.
Rover have to be relatively happy after that start. FCK have had maybe 4 decent chances, a goal, a super save and the one where Sives was caught an Diouf shot over. Rovers have had a fair bit of possession, forced some corners and had one great chance. End of the half was a bit worrying if FCK can up the pace they could be very dangerous. I'm watching with Danish commentary, obviously don't understand a word but the tone seems quite positive when referring to Rovers.
This could end 4 nil or it could end 1 all. It's that sort of game. Compenhagen look a class above though.
Shams have done well but I feel they will rue those misses as the Danes seem to be figuring it out up front . Having said that their(danes) defence is about as bad as ive seen so away goal certainly on. Im really suprised at how bad copenhagen are after all I read on here about them. Must be cos they only started their league. Hope that follows through tomorrow for Rovers.
oh ya and Pats.
Phew. I can see this getting dicey with 15 to go.
Copenhagen lost 3 of their back 4 from last year, new manager and I think the two center midfielders are new too. The fact it's so early in their season would obviously be a disadvantage in that case.
could be 2 or even 3 - 0. Hope Shams can keep the tie alive though.
Agreed, with most of that, they are a level above. Glad Rovers didn't concede any more before half-time. They'll probably get at least another in the second half, if Rovers could snatch one, it'll be good to have for the return leg.Quote:

I got that impression as well!Quote:
