Burns' fat hole is what does him no favours.Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Not looking good for Bohs. I don't imagine they were expecting much from this campaign anyway. Hopefully Pats can surmount their deficit next week. Are both games on the same time next week?
Crusader 1 v 1 Fulham
Crusaders haev just equalised at home to Fulham!!!
it will be a tough one in Dalymount next week but hopefully Fenlon will have the shackles off and we can give them a game.
Taking Fagan off was a disaster and putting Traynor in there was questionable too.

Probably the result I was expecting but still a little disappointed. Hopefully we can give it a good go at home next week
It was the result I was expecting I'm afraid. Even at 1-0 it was looking difficult. I can see next week being a score draw or maybe a Bohs win but bowing out of Europe. Hopefully Bohs can win at least and do their bit for Ireland and the coefficient. When a tie is looking a bit over, it is where teams need to be a bit aware of the coefficient and the responsibilities of representing Ireland in Europe.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
If they go 2 up top and have a go at them next week they can win they game, Very negative tonight even at 2-0
Here on a technicality.
Zilina, who I think were in the CL group stage last year,currently getting spanked 3-0 by the Icelandic Team KR
I saw Zilina last year being torn apart by McGeady, but losing to an Icelandic team.....
Yep, which means we could be going back to Iceland
Here on a technicality.
Well our game at home is sold out already so we're better off getting the 'easiest' game we can get. Unless RTE decided to televise our game if we got Stoke seeing as it's an English team but would rather get through to the next round

Have the teams been grouped for tomorrow (narrowed down to 5/6 possible opponents?). It'll be interesting to see who Sligo get. Hopefully its a winnable tie. Really, Sligo should have no problems packing the Showgrounds for the home game regardless of opposition.
Shamrock Rovers tie could be huge, can't look beyond Flora yet but if they get through that, there are a couple of teams they could turnover among the seeded sides.
Yeah, I thought the subs were odd. Is Murphy out of the team because he's not playing well or because Fagan is better? He absolutely tore us apart on his own at Dalymount earlier in the year. Rossiter was a different class when he came on.
Forget RTE, Sky would show it.

Anyone think we'd have any chance against any of the teams in our pot? Don't know anything about Poltava (bet Glentoran 2-0 away tonight) or Famagusta (bet the Georgians 3-0 at home) enough to know if we've any realistic chance.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Pats are in with a shout with the away goal and they will take confidance from the face they overturned a goal defecit in the last round aswell .
Bohs look like they face too much to do if they want to turn the tie around .
Thankfully he's windy, so we're safe on that front.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Famagusta were in the Champions League group stages a couple of years ago. I remember them drawing with Inter 3-3. Not sure if that was the year Inter went on to win it. Don't think we'd want them
Hearts or Poltava are the teams I hope we get.
Zilina were in the CL group stages last year, and got hammered in Iceland last night!
Sligo can get one of;
AC Sparta Praha (CZE),
Stoke City FC (ENG),
Anorthosis Famagusta FC (CYP)/FC Gagra (GEO) - Famagusta won 3-0 at home
Glentoran FC (NIR)/FC Vorskla Poltava (UKR) - Vorskla won 2-0 in Belfast
Heart of Midlothian FC (SCO)
Pats can get one of;
US Città di Palermo (ITA),
FC Dinamo Bucureşti (ROU),
KR Reykjavík (ISL)/MŠK Žilina (SVK) - KR won 3-0 at home
FC Karpaty Lviv (UKR),
FC Tauras (LTU)/ADO Den Haag (NED) - Den haag won 3-2 away
Bohs can get;
AZ Alkmaar (NED),
FK Rudar Pljevlja (MNE)/FK Austria Wien (AUT) – Vienna won 3-0 away
Bursaspor (TUR),
FK Željezničar (BIH)/FC Sheriff (MDA) – Bosnians won 1-0 at home
FK Sūduva (LTU)/IF Elfsborg (SWE) – drew 1-1 in Lithuania
Rovers can get one of;Shamrock Rovers tie could be huge, can't look beyond Flora yet but if they get through that, there are a couple of teams they could turnover among the seeded sides.
FC København (DEN),
Maccabi Haifa FC (ISR)/FK Borac Banja Luka (BIH) - Maccabi won 5-1 at home
NK Dinamo Zagreb (CRO)/Neftçi PFK (AZE), - Zagreb won 3-0 at home
KS Skënderbeu (ALB)/APOEL FC (CYP), - APOEL won 2-0 away
Skonto FC (LVA)/Wisła Kraków (POL) – Wisla won 1-0 away
IN terms of progression, the best hope for Sligo is probably Hearts, for Pats is KR, for Bohs is Sheriss/Suduva/Elsborg. Obviously Pats and Bohs have a lot of work to do.
Best for Rovers would be Wisla, but they wouldn’t be favourites in any of those ties
Anyone but the Ukrainians will do me
