Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
Some good news at last then. Overall,not great. But, two sides are in the draw for the 2nd qualyfing round of the Europa League. So it isn't quite an awful year just yet.

Actually you’re right to question - meant them idiots that didn’t manage to organise a quality stream - as proven by WatchLoi it’s not that difficult- assume they’ll issue an apology and offer anyone who paid the option of a refund or free access to watch next round
I don't think it makes sense to claim they were unlucky not to get a second leg. That's just the way it's structured this year. And it's the same for everyone. Unlucky is when you could've had something and narrowly missed out. Second legs aren't on the cards this year, so aren't an option.
Me jaysus nerves...
Commiserations to Bohs. I watched most of your match and you were the better side. Now I will never say anything good about you rats again.
On our match, it was **** poor but we got through it. Referee was absolutely awful and there must be some curse on Tallaght that Rovers keep conceding penalties for defenders being smacked in the face with shots. The Finns had a bit about them at times and were well-organised but we should have won that in normal time rather than being behind twice.
It's not the same for everyone though. Riteriai got a home Cup tie effectively. Derry got an away one. That's not the same.
Yes, it was known in advance, but it does make this very different to previous European campaigns.
Look at Sligo against Banga a few years back for example. Banga were a bottom-of-the-table Lithuanian side who ended up relegated, and Sligo were a stronger side than Derry are now. Sligo drew 0-0 out there, but the first leg - among other things - is an important scouting trip too. Sligo won the home leg 4-0. Derry didn't have the chance for this this year.
(Similarly of course, Rovers are a bit lucky to have had the home draw and not have to go to Finland to win - although then again the result last night might have been different if there'd been a few thousand home fans at it)
I agree with Charlie , the ref and the lino were both brutal . The peno for a smack in the face and the free when Manus picked up the ball having had it deflected to him were just two of the many terrible decisions.
Your point about the crowd is bang on , when Rovers went behind last year at home the crowd reaction was incredible and noise and atmosphere created def spured the team on.
It is the same for everybody obviously but it is a real factor.
Have to take the hat off to Joey , he made two or three last ditch tackles , he cleared that free that was given for the non backpass and scored two penos....
At this present time - Northern Ireland teams have got the most points so far in Europe .. and still have 2 sides left! And they be up to 37th next year at the moment on the table. We presently 38th but slide to mid 40's next year.
Low 40s - to 48th, behind the Faroe Islands and Malta and just ahead of Gibraltar per Bert Kassies.
Of course they've been getting extra coefficient points from preliminary rounds we got byes in, but still and all.
Didn't buy the stream myself but saw a lot of tweets complaining about it.
Doesn't one of the Rovers directors part own a communications company? (although the company's website doesn't load, so not the greatest sign)
Surely they would have had the expertise available to them to stream the game properly. It seems Rovers haven't said anything about the poor quality of the stream either. Ignoring paying customers is never a good idea.
Maybe they'll offer last night's customers free access to a stream for the next round, if they can, which I'm sure people would be more than happy with as compensation.
And the actual facts are As per the detailed statement issued earlier today by Rovers:
Notice regarding the livestream of Thursday’s UEFA Europa League Qualifier:
We can only apologise to fans for the intermittent quality of the Ilves match livestream on Thursday night. A full refund is available to any purchaser of the stream by emailing support@inplayer.com
The club awaits a detailed report from the production company involved to understand where the issues lie and to ensure any future stream does not encounter similar issues.
A large amount of planning and preparation went into the production process but when issues arise on the night in a live situation there is very little, if any, opportunity to react and fix the issue.
We are working to get a highlights package together to publish as soon as possible including the historic penalty shootout
Hadn't seen that, as they haven't tweeted it. But that's good they're dealing with it.
Strange though that they referred a customer on Twitter to check their club website, instead of just tweeting details and the relevant link to that statement.
Rovers communications / media department is poor compared to some other clubs, especially considering the resources they have.
It makes sense, think passinginterest mentioned poor broadband to the stadium. That wouldnt be it, it would be scaling and bandwith issues with the company hosting the servers that play the streams. Its so easy to get right and for a company who specialise in this type of thing its a massive failure. Its the only thing they have to get right, and they got it terribly wrong. There were only 1.5k streaming at a max usually around 1200, its nothing in this day and age!
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

Either here or on boards it was mentioned that you could see how many people were watching it. The highest was 1.7k
You'd have multiple season ticket holders in the same house, lots of people giving up on the stream because of the quality etc. Plenty of reasons why the figure would be lower than you’d expect.
