good luck to both, pity there wasn't 3 teams still competing.

**Boo_Boy** · 29/07/2009, 10:20 AM

Good luck to both the teams this week!

Good luck to Pats in their European tie.

This of course comes with the proviso that if you're going to lose please get annihilated so we can laugh at you.

Understood, and expected.

Did you choke on your best wishes to Derry?

Nope. In the past maybe I'd have hoped you progressed, but now it's clear that European progress is only likely to help paper over the cracks of massive overspending. And the sooner that stops the better for DCFC and indeed for the whole league.

Do you mourn for Sligo or Bohs?

Europe is irrelevant to our overspending (unfortunately). The idea that's it's a money spinner is simply not true. The cost of transporting a professional set-up and hosting games eats up the money on offer for the early rounds*.

I'm fairly sure our die is cast at this stage anyway.

*unless you draw an English or German team in which case the TV money us huge.

**Mr A** · 29/07/2009, 4:55 PM

Didn't Kenny say in the Journal though that if ye didn't make it past Skonto ye were more or less fecked? That's more or less what I based this on.

**boneym** · 29/07/2009, 6:05 PM

Good luck to both teams tomorrow night. Do the League proud

Not neccessarily. Last year there was 7 German teams in European action and some didn't get any live TV

Yup, hope Pats and Derry get good results but absolutely knacker themselves in the process so that my bets on Sunday win.

A lot of those sites set up a page for every game even though there's not going to be any streamed there, you just have to check tomorrow nearer kick off I think.
