Rovers v Flora

**legendz** · 20/06/2011, 10:19 AM

Yeah, FC Flora Tallinn, it'll be a tough game.

**Cuyahoga** · 20/06/2011, 10:21 AM

is that at home first or away first ?

**Mr A** · 20/06/2011, 10:23 AM

Rovers at home first.

**DeNiro** · 20/06/2011, 10:24 AM

I couldn't hear the date he said the games were taking place, was it 19/20 July for first leg?

**PartySaint** · 20/06/2011, 10:31 AM

12th July

Don't think that's concrete yet though.

Is the draw really that bad tho, they have a poor enough record in Europe. They've only won true one round previously in 2006. The Estonian league is ranked 45 out of 53. I think our teams have beaten Estonian teams before (Maybe I'm wrong)

Maybe a tougher draw than Linfield or a team from the Faroes but Rovers should win

According to MNS Twitter feed:

League of Ireland Clubs form against Estonian opposition is Played 8 Times , won 4 Drawn 1 and lost 3.

**thischarmingman** · 20/06/2011, 11:05 AM

EL First Round games are played 30th June and 7th July, for future reference.

ExtraTime say its W-3 D-2 L-1

IBV of Iceland v ST PATRICK'S ATHLETIC

**legendz** · 20/06/2011, 11:10 AM

IBV are from Iceland.

**legendz** · 20/06/2011, 11:15 AM

They and IBV will be in the second round draw as winners of match 7.

**Spudulika** · 20/06/2011, 11:33 AM

What's the betting on Bohs being drawn with Floriana - guess who'll be trundled out as the main mouthpiece????

Can 2 teams from the same country play one another? Just thinking of Pats vs Bohs in the 2nd round.

Nope.

Balls of a draw for Pats. Playing a team on an island off south cost of Iceland is expensive.

**Spudulika** · 20/06/2011, 11:53 AM

But it presents a chance to get a bigger fish next time up. Pats have a good side and with a head of steam will make the 3rd round. Love to see them do well.

**PartySaint** · 20/06/2011, 12:03 PM

Nightmare draw

fingers crossed for next round

**Dodge** · 20/06/2011, 12:04 PM

Likely this is played in Rejkavik

**legendz** · 20/06/2011, 12:06 PM

I'd be cautious no matter who the opposition is with LoI clubs track record of getting ahead of themselves. Pat's should be well capable of over coming their Icelandic opposition. It'll be interesting to see who lies in wait in round 2.
