European Football 2012

**legendz** · 27/07/2012, 8:47 AM

Hats off to Pat's. Representing themselves, Ireland and our league proud in Europe once more. Very disappointed with Sligo. Two years in-a-row they've been a disappointment. I thought they'd have learned their lessons from last year but I suppose that was under a new manager. Pat's though continue to do well in Europe with a different manager to last season. Their manager I'm sure learned a bit from his European experience with the disappeared S. Fingal.

Pat's not only the only team to get by one round, they've gone and got through another. Well done Pat's, respect!

Pats are a credit to the League. Their recent record n Europe is something to be really proud of.

It's something the fans are very proud of. The funniest part is that the 4 runs have been under 4 different managers and basically 4 different teams.

Fantastic stuff by Pat's. Really a credit to the league.

I do wish they'd get rid of that f**king bell though. The term 'needs more cowbell' most certainly does not apply here.

Looked like it was great night for the Pats' fans.
After getting turned over twice by a team from a fishing village, Pats are battle hardened enough to appreciate the grind and discipline it takes to eek out a win over 2 legs at this level. A very nice and deserved award for their travails await them in the next round.

Not a single Irish side was ever seeded on the basis of Bohs results. Your fine results against Aberdeen, kaiserlautern and Bate were off the books by the time an irish side was seeded. Still want to continue this?

If only Bohs had concentrated on the co efficient instead of running off winning Leagues and Cups instead

Well done to Pats on a great result last night, hard luck to Sligo. First leg deficit always made Sligo's job a very uphill battle. Glad to see Pats have the weekend off to prepare for European game.I still believe this otion should be accorded all teams participating in Europe given the week after week schedule.

God knows we need every bit of help we can get

Any video of Ger O Brien's infamous tackle?

There really should be a series of matches involving the Euro teams played mid-week earlier in the season to allow for this.

i.e. Mid-week 1: Bohs V Pats, Shamrock V Sligo
Mid-week 2: Shamrock V Pats, Sligo V Bohs
Mid-week 3: Pats V Sligo, Bohs V Shamrock

Ok, the euro teams will have 3 games in hand for a few weeks, but it would cut out the last minute scramble to call off games and re-schedule, and euro fixtures would not affect the gate receipts of other clubs.

That was actually a post in relation to the Bosnian equaliser. Though I do admit, I had mixed emotions when you equalised

Will Cork City v St Pat's game on 10th Aug now go to the Sunday or will it be postponed due to a planned friendly on the Sunday in Turners X ??

Was that Christy Fagan`s third goal in three successive European ties? one for Bohs V Lubjiana last year and two against the Bosnians? Is that a record Dodge, hood of all Euro anorak`s?

Jesus, the amount of chances yous had.

**Cuyahoga** · 27/07/2012, 3:05 PM

Hanover96 are a decent side. Thay are 70/1 to win the Bundesliga with 7 teams ahead of them in the betting.They have a striker called Diouf who played for Blackburn and Man utd. I reckon they will bring a decent support over next week, most German teams travel in large numbers.
