We're away first in a tough game. :(
They currently top of their league by 3 points
Unless they've had their heads stuck under the bonnets of their Volvos all year they'll know who we are after the Malmo incident and it will be hard for us to surprise them.
Here's their website...
They are possibly the toughest team we could have drawn...:(
Away on the 11th, home 25th.
Yeah they look like a tough outfit. Imbrahim Ba plays for them these days (didn't he play a trial game V us for Bolton a few years back?) and so does Mathia Johnson who just joined them from Norwich. We'll give it a go anyway I suppose
Theyre making a mockery of ye already on their forum. Theyre reading whats being written on the cork city forum, translating it, and having a good old laugh at ye.Quote:

That is tough, but remember what we were all saying prior to Malmo last year-"Sure it'll be day out",etc. :rolleyes:
Keep the faith, lads. :D
Unfortunately DIF are tryying to switch around the ties as theres a concert in their stadium!Quote:

Home first, or Away first?
Dont let them. They'll have to play outside of Stockholm it that's the case. There's only one stadium in Stockholm that meets UEFA's rules.Quote:

"Djurgården have a nice little team.
GK - Pa Dembo Tourray (formerly at Vålerenga IF Norway)
RB - Matias Concha (Malmö)
FB - Toni Kuivasto (Finnish international next to Sami Hyypia)
FB - Markus Johannesson (captain)
LB - Fredrik Stenman (Swedish U21 international, Feyernoord wants him)
RM - Daniel Sjölund (Finnish international, ex Liverpool and West ham)
CM - Johan Arneng (Swedish international)
CM - Abgar Barsom (ex Heereveen in holland)
CM - Kari Arnason (islandic international from Víkingur Reykjavik FC)
LF - Thobias Hysén (Rangers want him, Juventus were interested after he scored a beauty against them)
S - Sören Larsen (Danish international, Schalke 04 placed a bid of 1.3 mil euros just this week, Djurgården wants 2.5)"
Lads the only player that to "fear" is Sören Larsen - hes the best player in Sweden and a class above the rest of Djurgårdens team. The goalie is dodgy enough and the back four is average. Midfield - Sjölund never got a look in at Liverpool so take no notice of that - he'd struggle to a get a game with Cobh. Hysén is useful and can play.
Djurgården sold their best player at the time to Wigan last year (Johansson). the lad hasnt have a game with Wigan yet. Says a lot about Djurgårdens quality.
According to Djurgårdens website Cork have said a clear no to changing the matches around.
Theyre paniking now that match is going to be played outside Stockholm.
Good on ye!
Are you a Göteborg fan or something?Quote:

I think you're getting confused with Dublin, the Rip-Off Capital of Europe. Cork is the European Capital of Culture.Quote:

5500 attendance, so i guess they can demand 550 tickets???Quote:

Its 4.5 euros a pint of lager in Sweden (5% alcohol). Thats def. the same as Dublin prices. Whats the price in the Munster Republic?Quote:

Was surprise at the result last night but knew you'd get through. Before the last round I actually fancied Cork to go 2 rounds in the UEFA cup. There is no reason Irish teams should fear Scandanavian sides(unless you are Longford, sorry couldn't resist :D ), they are hardly world beaters and if they are over confident then that could be their downfall. Jesus a Dub telling the Corkies about arrogance what's the world coming too ;)
£1.70 in Reading if that's any good to you? :pQuote:

IFK 101 could you put up a link to where they're having a go at us as I haven't found it.
I think I've got a few witty rebuttles for them
€3.65 where i work or €3.40(the last time i was there anyway) down the villageQuote:
