North Macedonian.

It's a proper country, but as countries go, they're trolls - don't feed the trolls.

So North Macedonia it is.

Also a beautiful spot if any Rovers fans are going (provided there's no reception for them...)

I get why they're annoyed about the price, TBF.

They charged €2.40 for a ticket for the Dinamo Zagreb game. To put that in context, it'd be the same as Derry fans paying �100 for a stream.

Love the statement though. Proper 'Greatest League in the World' vibes off it.

They were quick to pick up the whole Shamrock Rovers being evil stuff!

Shkupi loopy indeed.

They're not entirely mad then.

For what it's worth (and you never know!), new Steaua beat Dunajska Streda 1-0 in Slovakia last night. Winners face Sligo/Viking next

Basel v Brondby is a heck of a tie for the third round actually; they'll both be ****ed with that. The winners will have an easier tie next, whether it's Pat's or CSKA Sofia

**pineapple stu** · 04/08/2022, 5:06 PM

Sligo 1-0 down already.

Just like in the first round - and that ended alright!

**joey B** · 04/08/2022, 5:10 PM

Sligo 2 down….

**Philosophizer** · 04/08/2022, 5:14 PM

Don't wanna curse it but Pats v comfortable so far. Cotter is his usual enigmatic self. Just had a beautiful turn and danced away from 2 CSKA lads.

A lovely move just got him into a great position and he fell over the ball 😂. Best move of the game so far.

**TonyD** · 04/08/2022, 5:34 PM

Pats doing well so far, but signs that CSKA are starting to turn the screw a bit.

**Philosophizer** · 04/08/2022, 5:41 PM

Doyle looks old at times. If he has to sprint a bit he's gassed for about it 5 mins.

**Big Ears** · 04/08/2022, 5:43 PM

Pat's need to slow the tempo and run the clock where possible.
It's obviously hot over there, and while there is passages of slow play, CSKA have some very pacey players when they get going and it's clearly taking it's toll staying with them.
