The Big Fat European Latest Thread

**Sheridan** · 06/08/2009, 10:48 PM

The sight of grown men roaring "blow it up, ya ****!" at a wall of digital text sums up football for me.

Any descriptions of Fabio's goal, Dodge? Super ball in for the first one.

Good craic reading through it knowing the result, as I did. Sheridan's comment was very amusing.

Arent RDS and Thomond Park the only 2 venues at right standard? Hope they get a team who can bring a decent visiting support - help them make some sensible money.

Guess it's fair to say Pat's will be below the famous 65% cap this season

A certain council owned ground in Dublin 24 is Uefa 3 star standard (as per SRFC design

) too but apparantly Pats are going to the RDS.

So does this mean Pats go into the 1st round of the Europa League? After that then hopefully the Group Stages?

**baddebt** · 06/08/2009, 11:11 PM

RDS would be grand , I would pop along myself to watch it .

They are now in the equivalent of the 'old' first round. Officially, it's the play-offs. The bottom line is the winner of the next ties goes into the group stage.

A Samara fan posted on our forum, his description of the second goal:

our defender ****ed up while your mighty D.O'Brien break into the penalty area and pierced our goalie and the net. Can't say it is as nice as he did a week earlier in Dublin, but an awesome one for sure.

****ing beautiful, that.

OH FABIO!

It's late. And it's been a strange day.

About 13,000 of their fans showed up, according to texts we were getting from lads over there.

Richie Sadlier said over 20,000 on RTE News at 6.
