LoI in Europe 2024

There would definitly be more in the away end if it wasnt limited to STH and members.
And its not like random fans can just get the link and get a ticket, you had to put your membership number and name in and you get a voucher which you exchange up the North on the day from Rovers stewards who are looking for iD......or at least saying they.

Its definitly put people off which is a pity, not saying thousends but these matches dont come along that often.

More importantly it will be interesting to see What team is put out, do we hold soemthing back for Sunday??

Were members/st holders allowed to bring a +1 with them. That could have been an idea, though perhaps challenging from an admin point of view.

Byrne, Watts and O'Neill on the bench for rovers, Bradley with one eye on sunday

Rovers 1-0 up after 3 minutes.

2-0 now. Larne look absolutely miles off the level of rovers technically

Rovers just so much stronger & physical too. Larne getting bundled off the ball too easily.

3-0 now. I genuinely think Drogheda would beat this lot

Larne being exposed and embarassed

Larne very early into the late tackles and sly digs!

I think Finn Harps would put up a better showing.

Unless I missed something when putting the kettle on, Larne haven't had anything close to a shot in anger/on target yet, and have strugggled to even get out of their own half.

I can see Bradley resting some of the players in the second half, as it's mission accomplished now really.

Celje 3 up against Ba?ak?ehir. Those Turks were there for the taking in Tallaght. What might have been…

Bit of a mad one that all Larne had to do was beat a team from Kosovo and a team from Gibraltar to get group stage football

Anybody wanting an All Ireland league won’t be enjoying this hammering!

Yeah Pats all over them in the first game.
Would have been the first LOI team to reach the group stages that didnt have the advantage of winning the league the previous year.

TNS game key now. Games get harder again after that one. I see Borac winning away to APOEL so they will be a tough opponent. Playing Rapid and Chelsea in later games might help a little. Especially Chelsea last game when you’d expect they’ll be well inside Top 8.

Would have been well in the tie with a win in the first leg. Wins for Vikingur and Celje shows that Rovers played and beat some decent sides this season.

Well he takes a bit of stick but Bradley got that one spot on, really think Honohan has been a terrific signing for them .
I reckon TNS will put up a bit more than Larne though, the premiership oop north is a ****ing low standard.

Been watching the TNS match, 1-0 up v Astana, and possibly robbed of a penalty, keeper just flattened a man. They've been 2nd best, but winning, reckon they're a bit more solid than Larne, but not much better.

Thought there was surprisingly large gap in physicality and technical ability v Rovers and Larne. Great result.
