It?s gone so bad that the Molde player actually praised Mannus for a save?
RFS (those Latvian minnows that so hilariously knocked out Linfield) have already got 2 points after draws with Fiorentina and Istanbul Basaksehir.
I thought they?d be battered in every match?
It seems everyone other than Rovers are capable of punching above their weight when they play against good sides in Europe.
Case & point Djurgardens. The side Rovers drew 0-0 with were able to punch above their weight and win at Gent last night whereas when Rovers needed to punch above their weight they got d!cked twice.

Who let the ditch hurler in... hilarious reading....
I follow specifically my local team Cork City but I support Irish teams in Europe like they were my own team, hence why I can be objective in how poor Rovers have been consistently compared to Dundalk for example. Hell even Rovers in 2011 that won in Belgrade, took to lead against Spurs, fought back against PAOK to almost snatch a draw?where has a Bradley side ever managed something like that in a game of relevance?
I can't get my head around what Rovers did last night. Obviously Bradley is prioritising the league but to what end?
They will go on and win the league but the purpose of that is to get into the champions path in Europe and give yourself the best chance to qualify for the group stages. And then what? Play a weakened side, look awful, take the money and repeat?
What about next season if they make the group stages again, which is very likely? Derry will likely be stronger and closer. Put out the 19s?
Norway isn't cheap. I'd be unhappy if I had travelled to that
Prioritizing a league that any half decent coach would have had wrapped up by now. Again it doesn?t reflect well in his coaching abilities. If Rovers are happy with scrapping a league they should be winning handily anyway then fine keep him but if Rovers ever want to go up to the next level they need to seriously consider a new appointment and Bradley is a right spoofer.
I'm gobsmacked at how awful Rovers have been away from home in Europe. Dundalk were so much better a few years ago. Molde had 26 shots on goal, to one attempt by Rovers (which went wide). A more realistic score would have been 6 or 7 nil. Gartland in commentary mentioned that Rovers' game plan seemed to be to allow Molde all the time and space they wanted on the wings and then just hopefully head away all the crosses. It was quite unreal to watch.
