Wonderful performance. Can't say though that they were unlucky to lose.
they could have been lucky though and got an away goal.

If pats qualify for another round by winning etc it increases the co-efficient of ireland, and helps other teams in teh future.Quote:

Great performance. Should have nothing to fear in the second leg.
fair play Rovers. Great result. I still hope you get thumped though.
Still feel copenhagen were not up to much for all the hype.Quote:

Not a bad result but disappointing to lose. Not getting that crucial away goal could be the difference next. Hat's off to Rovers though, they've represented Ireland well. It's just a pity the majority of those who've an interest in association football will be oblivious to this good display tonight.
While they'll initially be happy with the result I think they'll be gutted not to have nicked an away goal when they look back at it.
Local petty rivalry? I can see it now, the Regina Hoops SC's with the Saskatoon Gypsies!!!Quote:

I think you might be confusing rustiness/pre-season. They just looked fairly tired and drained in the second half. Which has to give rovers confidence in the home game.
Rovers never looked like capable of creating a clear cut chance from nothing like they did
Fair play to Rovers, they didn't seem overawed and had chances of their own. Nor should they have been overawed either, they've faced a tougher prospect in Juventus last year and played well.
An away goal would have been great, makes the second leg harder, still though, they're still well in the tie after the first leg, and that's all anyone wishing them well would have hooped for.
Early goal next week should make for great sport.
Great Performance Rovers hopefully another good night tomorrow night.
At 7 I would have been delighted with this as a FT result.Quote:

Rovers had three very good chances in the second half- Oman header, Finn shot, and Twigg header. Really good, well organized, gutsy display.
Yup fair balls to them. Pity that bollock$ Diuof didn't get sent off. Clearly a racially motivated attack.
if Shams qualify for group it means a sh**load of money for them so screw the coefficiantQuote:
