Maybe the denizens of foot.ie are more ambitious than yer brethern on bito'red?

I would be disappointed with the result if I was a Sligo fan. Same way I was disappointed with the 0-0 with Deportivo in 2004.

cos STU pulls me on everything so playing it safe.

as politely as i can say this you dont matter when it comes to being happy with a Rovers result and have you any idea how arrogant you sound saying your more ambitious than ROVERS FANS about ROVERS results. and I really mean no offence just you are out of order putting down the best result of the 3 in europe so far.

btw no way should Rovers have won comfortably or really at all. A draw was a good and fair result.

You said they werent any great shakes all along though? You were making out ye would beat them. Ye still can at home, but you seemed to have come near full circle!

Stop going out of your way to be offended. Free Presbyterianism doesn't suit you.

im not offended just pointing out Rovers fans are happy with the result you probably wouldnt like it if they started telling you how bad your results were in the first division if you were happy with them.

I stupidly said over hte last few days it appeared those with experience in europe(and not managed by fenlon) didnt give away or make these stupid mistakes, but those 2 pats goals are just harrowing. After all the good work and then two totally stupid mistakes. I mean i dont get to see any real LOI games, so i dont know, but does this happen the whole time? I Wouldn't have thought so, because i wouldn't expect St Johns athletic u12s to make these mistakes.

In fairness Paul, Rogers is a bog standard loi keeper. The first one was a balls up but could happen in the loi, the second one would have been normal for the loi.

The speed at which players are expected to think on the ball is greater in Europe I think and that is what leads to bad decisions like the back passes by Bohs this year and against Red Bull a couple of years ago.

Yes - second goal against Pat definitely offside. Well spotted.
Kirby's miss for Sligo still unbelievable. I think they may have cause to regret it.
Have to say, following Irish clubs in Europe has become great fun. (Thanks in large part to the internet). Hope both Rovers get through. Pats are gone, I'm afraid.

Vorskla play Karpaty on Sunday at 5PM Irish time. Will be interesting to see how they compare. The game should be streamed somewhere. So far this season, Vorskla lie in 3rd position in the Ukrainian league after three games and Karpaty are in 14th with one point. Tonight was Karpaty's first competitive win of the season. I don't rate Vorskla at all from what I've seen - their keeper is ridiculously suspect - and think Sligo have the beating of them, but I don't think St. Pat's should be too dejected either. If they give it a good go in Tallaght, who knows what might happen. Bohs looked like a comeback might have been on against Olimpija Ljubljana in Dalymount until that horrible defensive error.

I also came across this on Wikipedia:

Quote:

On 12 August 2010, the Football Federation of Ukraine punished Metalist Kharkiv and Karpaty Lviv for fixing a match in 2008; both teams were handed a fine and deducted nine points each. The FFU then released a statement on 19 October 2010 that the point deductions will be applied for the 2011�12 season. However, Karpaty Lviv have indicated that they will take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport at Lausanne; the table will hence not include the deductions until a final verdict has been made.

Hadn't been aware of that.

As for us next week, I hope we get chances like these, only take them. They're from Drogheda's tie in Kiev in 2008. Drogheda put up a great fight, but the two misses on 1'50" and 3'00" turned out to be 2 of the most expensive misses in LOI club football.
