Didn't help the attendance anyway.

Rovers had been doing well, then Lopes with a lapse in concentration causes a goal. Shame.

The goal was soft when it came but it seemed inevitable that the Jambos world score.

**ger121** · 02/10/2025, 7:45 PM

That goal was like Rovers away a couple years ago.

**ger121** · 02/10/2025, 7:46 PM

And then there was 2.

I see Hamrun Spartans only lost 1-0 away to Jagellonia, despite having a guy sent off on the hour

Rovers play them last and may need a win to get to the knockouts - they mightn't be the safe three points that was originally thought though

Or Drita for Shels. They got a good point in Finland tonight.

Rovers might be best taking their licks and making sure they don’t concede a couple more.GD could be a factor.

They don't have the rights to group stages.

I'd kind of written Shels off as not going to qualify anyway, but maybe that's harsh. Ahead of Rovers in the table as it stands of course!

Celje, who play both sides, are level with AEK (who play Rovers) at halftime too

I would be of the same view regarding Shels but when you are looking at games were they might pick up points, Drita was mentioned as a possible 3 pointer.

Fair, yep. No easy games in the group stages

Except in Prague... 3-0 now

**Philosophizer** · 02/10/2025, 8:12 PM

This could get ugly in Prague. If Rovers could cut out the errors and got a bit of luck with the offside call they could still in it, but in general play there’s a big gulf in class here.

**ger121** · 02/10/2025, 8:27 PM

Shaktar 3-1 up away to Aberdeen. Celje looked to have kicked on too. Rovers gonna have some tough games.

**sbgawa** · 02/10/2025, 8:35 PM

I think people were kidding themselves thinking we could get somethibg here
Same in Athens. We were very luckynwith the draw last year. We may still make it but we need to beat celje next.

Celje 3-1 up now to AEK.

**ger121** · 02/10/2025, 8:46 PM

Great strike that. He probably should have started along with Burke.

Flippen hell. Not looking good

Scoreless draw a decent start for Shels. I know there was talk of Hacken being there for the taking cos of how bad they're doing, but Shels are hardly flying it themselves this season either

Shkendija away and Celje home next up. Big games both of them. Don't expect Shels to do quite so well on this visit to North Macedonia as they did yesterday!
