LOI in Europe 2011

**marinobohs** · 21/10/2011, 9:49 AM

Saw most of the game and thought shams were very good second half (although lucky to be only one down at HT). Thought Dennehy and Ricer were excellent and Murray awesome at times defencively. Sheppard up front also impressed and got through a lot of work (and deserved goal). Two good strikes for PAOK but when shams equalised I could really see them getting something from the game.

Very steep learning curve for LOI players and the fact that many are disappointed/frustrated with a 2-1 defeat, away from home shows how far shams have come.

Access points for irish clubs (and most mid-lower ranked nations) has changed for next season

Now the Cup winner will enter in QR 2, while League runner up and other qualifiers enter in QR1

Last year Bohs as League runners up entered in QR2 (Sligo entered at Qr3 but that was always a bit of a fluke)

So does anyone have any predictions for tomorrow night? I predicted Rovers would get 2 points in this group. This is one of the games were I thought they'd get a positive result (Last game against Spurs being the other) Going for 1-1.Paddy Power have this result or a 1 nil to PAOK as the most likely outcome.

I think I'm in the right thread but what is it with Villareal and their inability to deal with teams playing in light blue?

**GreenStar** · 03/11/2011, 7:36 AM

Have a good feeling for Rovers in this one. With a little bit of luck on their side, this could be the night that elusive first point(s) is(are) notched up. Heavy, heavy rain just now though!

How on earth was that not a penalty against Sives? Super save low to his right.

That can only be viewed in Ireland. I've found one or two others but they're really choppy.

Kazan 1-0 Spurs. About half an hour to go there. Not good for the hopes of getting a draw off an already-qualified Spurs in the last game.

**pineapple stu** · 03/11/2011, 5:35 PM

2-0 now. Rovers shooting themselves in the foot. Could be 4 or 5 at this rate.

**pineapple stu** · 03/11/2011, 5:38 PM

3-0. Super finish. No idea what Murray (?) was watching though.

**TiocfaidhArmani** · 03/11/2011, 5:43 PM

3-0 and not even half time. Delighted this will put them back in their place and stop their delusions of grandeur they had. Belgrade away was a freak result that went to their head.

**Stevo Da Gull** · 03/11/2011, 5:45 PM

Turner and Sheppard have been decent. Murray, McCormack and a few others have looked so bad it's unreal. How many times have Rovers had men up and failed to put the ball into the box or beat the first man?

**BonnieShels** · 03/11/2011, 5:54 PM

Just in the door and saw the score.

Cripes.

Were the lads on the beer the week or what?

What was the general play like outside the goals?

Rovers just not at the races. Sluggish up front, getting into a couple of decent positions on the right but failing to get any decent ball in. Their keeper's made one good save (same number as the Rovers defence!). Even before the goal, PAOK had a peno denied, hit the post and had a blatant handball overlooked, all in the space of ten seconds.

Turner off anyway. McCabe too. Twigg and Killer on.
