Vllaznia - Rovers 2nd leg game thread - Game to be shown in Connollys

[Well Red]

Conor O Grady will have to learn to think a little more before he acts, just senseless getting sent off and losing vital time during the process. Not sure how many times he has been suspended but with a squad as thin as ours he needs to cop himself on, he already had a card from the first game which shows he is prone to stupid moments.

should have won the two legs, the place was a kip couldnt wait to get outta it. it took us 9 hrs to travel down to it. have to say found the fans ok but wonder what they would have been like if we beat them. its like a 3rd world country there. people searching in bins for empty cans. cheap spot though in fairness but it would need to be to get anyone to go to it. well done to the team we could not fault them for effort and cookie came out to hotel bar before game to chat the fans and give updates. well done to all the support as well belive me 14hrs travelling in a bus in one day and going into shkoder is unbelievable effort.

Was at the game last night and p$$$$d off with the result, threw it away at home. I thought Ventre was our best player last night, Steve Feeney done well despite a terrible miss. Mad journey down took the guts of 9 hours only 5 on the way back. Getting back to the game gutted to go out to them as they were no good, but lost the tie in the SHowgrounds, hopefully we can have a good second half of the season.

did anyone notice how the fella that scored against us ran into the advertising as he celebrated?

Yeah I noticed that alright who are standing behind the bars that he ran over too ? its like a jail . I feel sorry for Steve Feeney, I think we can put a bit of blame on the pitch for his miss as you could see it bobble when he was about to shoot.

Frustrating stuff last night. We were knocked out by a poor team and we played much better than them in both legs. As has been said, we threw it away in the Showgies. Certain players aren't near fit enough, Keane, Feeney, Ventre all done for pace at times last night, although in saying that, Ventre did play brilliant. But the fitness levels really should be something that's looked at and improved on. Such a long trip down and it was just wasted then with being knocked out by a very poor side, very disappointing. Referee was absolutely brutal, he wouldnt be out of place in the LOI. Vllaznia were diving all night and Rovers were right not to give the ball back to them after their repeated actions. Vienna will hammer them in the next round...and rightfully so, they deserve it!

Shkoder's an awful kip.

Some mental lyrics in the music in that clip

Still, it's funny because he hurt himself.

Its beyond me how they always got away with it last night. I think its laughable that they have to bring on 2 physio's and at one point another 2 surrounding a player and always take the player off on a stretcher, absolutly no point as they got up as soon as they came off. Either these players break like twigs or are just trying to waste time. Another decision made by the referee was stupid, only minutes after the game kicked off Raff got a deliberate elow to the face and that player didnt even get a yellow card! frustrating stuff but we have to move on from this and hope for a good second half of the season.

Didn't even feel it either; just bounced off it. Impressive.

It looks like a bobble decevied Brushie for their goal too.

It’s emerged that various missiles and plastic bottles were among the items thrown at Sligo Rovers’ players during last night’s Europa League match in Albania.





Reports emanating from supporters today who were at the game suggest a number of the Rovers players were targeted by the KS Vllaznia fans.





It has also emerged that missiles were thrown at Sligo Rovers captain Conor O’Grady, as he was sent off, in what’s been described as a very hostile atmosphere.



Rovers drew the game, 1-1, but lost the tie on aggregate by 3-2.

omg did you break a nail?? lmao j/k

But seriously I warned you about Shkodra and not making the trip there but you didn't listen. You have to have a tough skin to handle the atmosphere and everything.

[Sean South]

The place was a kip a real strange atmosphere around the city. Before the game their capo came over to shake our hands then at the end of the game they were giving us cut throat gestures. The ref most have been bought off or something.

[Darco Ooragnak]

Good bit of the match can be found here.

[Boo_Boy]

If anyone want's the match let me know, my brother e-mailed me the recording of the game and i can upload it to rapid share or something if someone want's it. Albanian commentary and the 15 mins of DigitALB ad's at half time are still in there..

[Boo_Boy]

Them ads were impressive to be fair. I learnt some albaninan from them. "Nga" means was.

I would go to the trouble of taking them out but that woman in them is hot .

[Rovers fan]

Mole.

[Da Real Rover]

I would hardly call the atmosphere intimidating, they just sang when they scored, I was pretty surprised by that.
As for the bottles and chairs thrown at O'Grady, it was a very very bad tempered game thanks to the cheating scumbags of Vllaznia but tbh you would get more trouble at a shams or bohs game.
There was an element of hostility among some of their fans but over all they were nice and even clapped us out of the stadium.
And just one more thing, MOLE!!!.

moley, moley, moleeey, moleeeey,moleeeeeeeey
