Shels played Rosenborg too in relatively recent times, although it was a bit further back in time in 2001.
Shels lost the first leg at home 3-1 and drew the second leg 1-1. It was in the second qualifying round of the Champions League.
A highlights reel from the home leg here:
Rosenborg also met Bohs two years later at the same stage of the same competition and won the first leg in Dublin 1-0. They went on to win the second leg 4-0, however. Stephen Kenny was managing Bohs at the time too.
Dundalk will be the fourth LOI opponents Rosenborg have ever played, according to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenb...otball#Matches

Found some further nostalgia on YouTube...
An RTÉ News preview of the 2003 Bohs-Rosenborg game:

Rosenborg's goal against Bohs in the first leg:

And the goals from the second leg, which ended 4-0 to Rosenborg:

Supposedly, Dundalk's scouting report on Rosenborg was found on the road-side in Lucan yesterday: https://www.facebook.com/AirtricityL...13722818641650
I'm not sure how much of it is now in the public domain - I've only seen the above three pages - but it was a bit careless of whoever was carrying it as it could potentially give away Kenny's game-plan. -
It's embarrassing from Dundalk and I guess Kenny is livid cause he's not like that! .... Wasn't something like this happen last year as well? ... think it was in the Europa group stages?

Gartland is Dundalk weak link based on last years Europa League matches - he cant be messing with the ball at the back!

Kenny said yesterday all Dundalks info is on USB sticks, so that is bull**** that it was found on the road Originally Posted by swinfordfc

I have looked at the 3 pages and it tells me very little of how Dundalk are going to play, apart from get close to Nick and yet another goalie who saves some and lets in others. -
unless the other pages had better stuff on them I don't think the "scout" had much to offer.

For me, it's a fake. Why would a players agent and current club be listen on a scouting report of the players current club?

I've seen proper scouting reports they are far far far more complex than this. Defo a fake. Originally Posted by nigel-harps1954

O Donnell's fit, so everyone expects him to start instead of Shields.
Possible he will go Shields instead of Mountany and put McEleney wide and push Benson to number 10. -
Ya he got caught a couple of times last year and he was lucky a couple of other times. Barrett looked a bit inexperienced too. Originally Posted by swinfordfc

He made a fair few errors last year in the European games, as he did with Sligo when they played Rosenborg. Originally Posted by swinfordfc

Hope Dundalk can do the business. Feck knows the league needs a bit of good press after the Athlone and Bray debacle, regardless of peoples opinions on our sides progressing in Europe.
For what it's worth, I believe Gartland and Rogers are the two big weak links in the side too. For the life of me I can't fathom why a goalkeeper wasn't high up on the list of priorities for Kenny during the off-season or even during the transfer window, as I think Rogers is a total liability, but for now he'll have to stick with what's familiar.
