Shelbourne F.C. in Europe

[Drumcondra Red]

Good point Gar, there was a group of shels fans down cheering Bohs on against Gent, do you really think we like Bohs???

[kdjaC]

Small time league does bad then? Is that want your looking for?

No just other teams

But does it really matter how well the league does? Nothing is going to change in 10 years time att will be similiar, opinion of PL armchair fans will still be the same.

To be honest I hope any irish club in europe does well (unless its craptown).

Though will have a nice little chuckle to myself if they get knocked out in the first round of the tie.

Well seeing as thats your opinion and outlook, there is no point labouring the point to you. Does it really matter how well the league does? depends on who you ask, if you asked a Swiss man in Turkey, probably not, but to all supporters, until I read your post, eliminating you from that group, of the league, it matters very much to them. Its part of the dream to see your league become big time and your club...but it seems a little lost on you.

My girlfriend was frankly confused. She knows I dislike Bohs but when the goal was scored and throughout the game I was egging them on. She just could not understand that. Kinda like our friend, kdjaC But then again she doesn't really understand football too well.

When you see how City ended up unseeded in the UEFA Cup and how much it effects what team we'll get in the draw today it shows how important the coefficients are to all EL clubs.

Therefore I hope Shels do well.

Tis indeed only dream i have is to see Pats win the Cup before me croaks it, you want the league to do well, get huge attd and get in Cl groups year after year, whos dream is more realistic

Would never support another rival club regardless of what it meant to the league win or lose league will still be there and i still be richer every 2nd friday.

Bohs wins in Aberdeen and Kaiserslautern won't count from next year I think, Cork and Shels better hold onto the league's position!

[ThatGuy]

Its funny, we signed most of the players in the summer for no fee and they took reduced wages.

If you believe that then you are very naive.

Believe me when i say that if you believe anything else you're just plain stupid

[Roverstillidie]

glen crowe moved for a pay cut? is it possible for a shels fan to exist on planet earth?

and i cant wait to see the reception you get in east belfast on the 12th. maybe it will put the phrase 'hooligan' in context for you and you will give over the 'rovers are a satanic cult' garbage.

You think Glen Crowe and Colin Hawkins jumped ship for a pay-cut? No point in arguing with you in that case

Provoided Rovers fans don't once again show and cause trouble,We should be alright.

[Mayo Red]

I would always support any Irish team in Europe, and I think most other Eircom League fans would feel the same way. You only have to look at the support Shels got against Hidjuk and Deportivo last year as an example. A little success in Europe by any Irish club would benefit us all.

[kenbo]

all gud to see everyone supportin EL teams in europe!!! need a good attendance for a gud atmosphere in tolka!!

i think most of the shels fans shud travel to the away leg but not entirely sure about non shels fans travellin!! lets hope so!

glentoran will be well up for it!!

CMON THE SHELS!!

[SPXcyan]

Well Glentoran and Shelbourne play so at least one irish club will go threw to the next round!

C'mon the Glens!!!!!

[Dr.Nightdub]

The only thing that stopped me leaping out of the chair in delight when Chukinyere-Ár-Lá scored for the Maltese Hibs against Shels was the fact that I was balancing my dinner on my lap. This year, I'll wait until after full time before making dinner.

Come on ye boys in green!

[glentoranfan]

I will be a good game and one were we have a chance of progression to the second round for the second time in a row after 37 years without doing so!

Only thing is the match is over the 12th fortnight meaning most people are on holiday to get away from it all or cant change their working hours as staffing is scarce, meaing diminished support for the teams. Some people will also say about the trouble, which is unlikely, but you just dont know!

As for the game, it is a good draw for both teams, so the gaffers will be happy and up here, it is sort of beingh hyped as north champions vs. south champions so it looks like game on and I cant wait.

[robbieos88]

I'll support any other Eircom League team in Europe except $hels ,I cant stand Ollie or Fenlon, I personally hope they get stuffed!
