what there saying.....

Yes, keep telling yourself that we ARE probably ****e, BUT I doubt that Zenith would like to see Pat's in Russia again.

You know, I am getting a bit fed up with being 'nearly there' - how many times in the past few years have we had a team only 1 game away from the group stages (CL or UEFA), only to bow out (normally after a loss & 'creditable' draw). I don't think Pat's are the real deal yet (Fabio gives them an edge they were missing tho), but I'd really like to see them finally make that breakthrough this year

**paul_oshea** · 07/08/2009, 9:58 AM

well said cuana. If they got to the group stages, they could well get an english side, and/or a top european side, which would give ye even more money and also great experience. The only thing is ye would need to qualify again next year

It has to be Odense. The Danes are beatable despite the result of 2 years ago.

Yes you're right, its been posted before. And yes St Pats will get one of those teams in Pot 6.

Aston Villa would be best in my opinion. Would draw a bigger crowd and more interest. Cheap travel expenses! Easier away trip. Possibility of a shock if Villa put out a weak squad. The UEFA Cup doesn't carry much prestige in England where everyone is obsessed with the Champs League. St. Peteresburg won the UEFA in 2007 and then beat Manchester Utd in the Super Cup final.

I never did get that whole east-west thing sorted.

Derry's still in the north-east though, right....?

Depends when it would be. Have my dissertation due in on 26th, and I've so far written about 3 words of the 15,000, so I'll be in panic mode up until 6pm on the 26th.....

Ordinarily I'd be keen to see any LOI side play over here. Though I'm still scarred by the experience of the 12hr round-trip to see Longford play in mid-Wales. The drive was fine - it was the performance that keeps me awake at nights.....

**p�l-dcfc** · 07/08/2009, 10:46 AM

Just back from the match (Don't ask). The CSKA striker killed the game with his incessant diving. I could not believe that he didn't get booked at least. And then he went on to score. I'm ragin, but we did the co-eff proud by getting the draw at least. I'm so happy and proud of Pat's though. I went into the match last night thinking if we go out, at least Pat's have done it. I know it was a loss, but overall that must be the greatest result for an Irish team in Europe.

So happy for ye's lads. I'll try to be down for the home game. Is it allowed to be played in Richmond?
