I think that Bohs got the best draw they could have asked for all round. Facing any of the teams we could have faced would most likely lead to elimination from the competition anyway so to draw Anderlecht which amounts to a good attraction, good TV money and a deadly away trip for fans is probably the best all round. Our chances of progressing are slim, our only hope being if they underestimate us as much as RBS did last year. It would still take 2 stellar performances to progress which im not sure this years team is capable of.
Superb protential ties for Fingal (in order to progress) and obviously Rovers (big big draw). I think both teams are up against it in terms of progressing to the next round either way. Rovers needed to keep a clean sheet at home and i think Maritimo will not underestimate Sporting Fingal next week.
On D. Chisinau - did a LoI team not face them before?? Oh no wait, that was their rivals Zimbru Chisinau.... and it was St. Pats.... and it was....![]()
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

Think I'll go to Dalymount for the Anderlecht game if Bohs get past TNS. I've been following their results for a few years now.
I'd love to see Lukaku play in person.

Am I right in saying....:
If Bohs get through against TNS, but lose to Anderlech, they're in Europa League Group stages?
Shams and Fingal need to go through this round, then have to get past (respectively) Honka/Bangor and Juve to reach Europa Group stages?

No.
If bohs were to beat tns and lose to anderlecht, they'd be in the final qualifying round of the europa league - for which the draw has yet to be made.
If they were to beat anderlecht they'd be in the final round of cl qualifiers. Losing there they be parachuted into group stages of europa league.
And in the Europa league Finglas have to beat Maritimao, then Honka/Bangor then some one in the 4th round
Likewise Rovers have to beat the Israelis, then Juve, then another team in the 4th round
We get to the third qualifing round and we get a poxy team from Russia no one has ever heard of and if Rovers get there they get Juventus, Clearly an FAI conspiracy to let their model club get some revenue
(sits back and waits for Sligo fans to agree and go off their nut)
Here on a technicality.
When did Finglas have a team in europe ?
If it was anyone else posting this I'd know it was serious
Anderlecht are not going to be as big a challenge as many are thinking, they're kind of another up in the air side (in terms of club destination), Dundalk had a serious chance but blew it, while Rovers were always up against it. I'd love to see at least one side qualify for the Europa League Group stage, could be two if all goes right. But Juve for Rovers! Still in shock, I'll be home and away for that!
I know youre a Rovers fan but you understand the concept of a bit of no harm slagging, surely? Did you miss the smiley at the end? Did you miss the post where i explained that, apologised, and actually pointed out how well they had done since? And finally, you need to stop getting outraged on behalf of St. Pats fans.![]()
