Who cares why this has come to pass. It's no skin off Rovers' nose whether this goes on RTÉ Player Intl or not. The fact is they have allowed it and that has to be applauded.

Forgive our naïvety.

Anyway, best of luck to Rovers this evening. I could even tolerate Chris Turner scoring a winner.

Is that your latest "light-hearted jab at" or conspiracy theory?

It means what it says.

If its no skin off their nose, then why have they to be applauded?

As ever, its the ease at which people eat the spin that annoys me

ANyway fair play. Thats good be nice to see it on a proper stream.

Came back to where spudliuka?!

I thought kilkenny was only available OUTSIDE Ireland.

You'd think so, but I've only seen it on tap here - Russia!

**gufct** · 02/08/2011, 5:15 PM

Good luck to Rovers, Pats & Sligo this week.

No it doesn't.

For those unclear like Dodge as to what it means..it means Rovers have cleared RTÉ to show worldwide to Hoops coverage that was hours ago only available in Ireland. Be that in Norway, England, Canada, Marino or other foreign lands.

**Dodge** · 02/08/2011, 5:33 PM

Yes, because they tried to sell these rights and couldn't

Regardless, enjoy the game

**shellyriver** · 02/08/2011, 5:43 PM

Hope Hoops do a number on Cop. Despite Mon being the most miserable man north and south of border, and McCabe and Turner leaving us high and dry, nevertheless, for tonight I'll rooting for the Tallaght bhoys.

Would they do the same if they qualified for the group stage? Would they ****!

**Colbert Report** · 02/08/2011, 6:16 PM

So what happens next in the qualification? Is there another round before the group stages?

Yes there one more round in each the cl and el.

Loser in cl (might be just champions) tonight go into next round of el.

Fingers crossed tonight!

I'm on Slavyutich tonight. Hope RTE's website doesn't go tits up.

So if they get through tonight, Rovers will be hoping to draw the likes of Arsenal? Surely they'd move the match to Aviva Stadium if that happened right?

**paul_oshea** · 02/08/2011, 6:25 PM

Nope they play the other domestic winners of others that have come through the qualifying rounds.

Great backdrop behind brady...

Pitch looks great tonight, the whole place does. Lets just hope its not a hammering.
