Past = fact (unless you reinvent it like your lot tend to do), future = speculation. 3/4 years ago Bohs were "made" for the next 50 years with the Danninger deal and shams were struggling. Yes, things have changed dramatically in recent years ask Cork or drogheda fans of recent vintage and given your club currently running up debts it is very likely to happen again.Originally Posted by HulaHoop
Next 5 years ? in the League of Ireland ? Jez, anyone with an ounce of sense would not bet on next season never mind five years.
Anyway apols for diverting off topic, back to who LOI clubs are likely to play in europe
Still off topic and finishing it here but would suggest if financial problems to win titles is bad then how bloody stupid is it to have financial woes to win little or nothing (dont count League cups) shams, Derry and Cork - of the so called "elite" have all encountered financial troubles (to put it mildly) in last decade for little return, so much for the power of their "massive" support.
Anyway, back to clubs playing european football this season.

do you want to APOELogise now or later?Try Naming Some
Cork City won the league in 2005, and the FAI cup in 2007. We didn't spend silly money until 2008, after Rico got the sack. Arkaga and then Tom Coughlan apprently couldn't count and ran us in to the ground.
Does anyone think we're ever likely to let that happen again? At least in the next 10 years? I doubt it. We won't be running up any debts, we may not win trophies but our club will be secure for a long time.
You're off your rocker if you don't think Pat Dolan was spending 'silly money' as far back as 2003

Wouldn't want to rub salz in old wounds, but you're talking bull.do you want to APOELogise now or later?

Back to the point of the thread:
Sarajevo 0-0 Zeljeznicar
Borac 2-1 Olimpik Sarajevo
Borac 26 57
Zeljeznicar 26 49
4 Games left, and 8 points clear.
Happy days, looks more and more likely we will be seeded. Still some tough unseeded teams in the pot though.
toughest thing about the unseeded pots is the away trip... tough atmosphere im sure in some of those random country... altho u guys didnt let that be a prob in israel...
Bosnia Update:
Zeljeznicar win 3-0
Borac lose 1-0
Borac 27 57
Zeljeznicar 27 52
Gap now 5 points, with 9 left. They still have to play each other aswell.
The Europa League first qualifying round will not be regionalised this year, We could end up anywhere
Here on a technicality.
It's been reported on fotball.no that Ireland didn't get the Fair Play place - top three stayed as Norway, England (probably Fulham) and Sweden.
Thank feck for that.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Yup. Anyone as bad or us - or worse, so bad they can lose to us - shouldn't be in Europe ever.
Get Sligo the feck out of there!
Yes, ye bet us so that means yer a better team.
Not to mention how bad a European game would look in front of a crowd of 500 or so at Belfield.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
A vital issue to all Sligo fans, I'm sure. We should similarly hope teams who lose to a team trying to lose never qualify for Europe again.
Yeah, rumours are great alright.

Almost as great as this argument.
Ohh dear...
