It's great they've secured another 4 games. Nothing can be taken for granted about it, it's good for themselves in that position.

It's a trap, yes Mr. Shamrock Rovers season ticket holder the laneway is very quite this evening, now if you just follow us into this dark room you'll find the "special tickets"... once the chloroform hit's it'll all be a blur...

The reality and possible alcohol present in HulaHoop's post pips it...

http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/...trank2011.html (this was the rank used for this season….)

So while Rovers were seeded in the CL qualifiers, Sligo wouldn’t have been.

Likewise even though Pats entered the Europa League in the 1st round, they were still seeded in the 2nd round

Is it weighted in anyway by what team beats what in terms of whose higher or is it just .3/.5, or even weighted more per round? If not its not a very fair reflection of things to be honest, granted any team can have a one off fluke but over two legs its certainly more difficult.

The thread was even better when all those who thought Gretna were a good side, found out exactly how "good" they were in 90 minutes.

As for Vaduz, I still stand over those comments, and nothing I've seen and heard from that ragball side since, convinces me otherwise.

Wed 27th CH FC Copenhagen v Rovers - Parken Stadium - 8.00pm (local time)
Tue 2nd CH Rovers v FC Copenhagen - Tallaght 8.00pm

Date and time of both games as per the Rovers website. Anyone know if Copenhagen have a game between both legs? The first-leg is 7pm Irish time, should be in brackets above instead of "local time".

So I can get into a Bohs game with my Pat's season ticket, No wonder they have no money

**DannyInvincible** · 20/07/2011, 9:58 PM

Out of the 24 Europa League games being played tomorrow, it seems there'll be only four not televised across the whole of Europe. That includes Dinamo Tbilisi-Llannelli, which won't be shown as 1TV in Georgia will already be occupied with the other game featuring a Georgian side, Gagra-Anorthosis Famagusta. Then there's Fulham-Crusaders, apparently, which will probably be shown on a betting site or two. Even two seperate Azerbaijani channels will be broadcasting the two Azerbaijani teams' games. No prizes for guessing the two additional games that won't be broadcast by any television company, however.

You do have to credit our national broadcaster(s); they're at least unique across Europe...

You should email our beloved national broadcaster that information and see what excuses they come back with!

Dear sir,

Budget budget, MNS doncha know? Budget, budget, did ye see the GAA at the weekend, fantastic! Budget, budget, budget, did ye ever notice Con Murphy only ever grins with half his mouth? Budgety, budget, budgetotron, sure watch a bit of rugby instead.

Best regards,
Ryle Nugent
Head Of Sport
RTE

As an aside - has anyone seen Ryle Nugent's wiki? Wiki-messing is becoming old hat, but that's good work.

Classic

Keep sucking those lemons. A great example of someone who hates Rovers more than he loves his own club. Keep it up, gives us Hoops a good giggle

A great example of ignoring the problems at Das Modile Klub by posting sh!te instead (or are you saying when a Shams fans post a pic of another club they are clearly more obsessed with that club than their own?)

This pic goes nicely with the similar one from Israel last year in fairness

Yep. The fact photo's like this give's you's a "giggle" say it all about your club and support

None of the home games involving Swedish clubs have been shown on television. However a local newspaper streamed Malmö's home game via their website and Elfsborg will stream their game tonight via their website (cost 15 euros). I wonder have any of our clubs the possibility of doing the same.

They have a league game at home on Saturday. They lost at home to West Ham in a friendly last night.

They have a new coach and personnel changes for this season so they might be slightly rusty for the games against Rovers.

He wasn't the only one at it Hibs4Ever. Any chance you could send Reitoir's template to UEFA, its been a good fortnight since Chris Turner has been up on racism charges

I couldn't imagine hating anything as much as you hate Shamrock Rovers. You're going to give yourself an ulcer very soon.
