    LOI in Europe

    I agree, Yes they are the undisputed Giants of the Irish game but remember.
    In Ireland Rovers are a big fish in a small pond and in Europe they are a very small fish in a big pond. It will be like this for Irish clubs for another 2-3 years at least. We just don't have the quality but it is getting better year on year. I always wish all Irish clubs well when they play in Europe and look forward to when we can really compete.
    And there you go again deflecting from the point of the discussion, I?ll try repeating to make sure that little brain of your?s is working properly?Winning in the league with this squad is NOT and achievement, it?s to be expected. Winning against Hibernians and Shkupi is NOT an achievement it?s to be expected. The only reason you make it out to be an achievement is because you set the bar so low that it?s considered an achievement.

    This would be accurate if Dundalk during their 2 seasons in Europe also were as bad but they were far better against far better opposition. You don?t need quality, the teams you are playing against aren?t very good, this Rovers team is just incapable of competing against anyone who is in any way half decent. It?s easy against teams like Shkupi and Hibernians.

    Is it getting better, this Rovers team is by far the worst Irish team ever to compete in Europe.

    You will never be competing when Bradley as the manager, you?ll compete against teams you should be beating and get beat by any side that is similar or a higher level. This side with Bradley is so laughably bad coaching wise that any half decent or average side will take them apart.

    It?s not unusual, Dundalk did afew years ago remember?

    What is unusual is for an Irish team as bad as this Rovers side be in Europe, they really are an embarrassment to the league. The losses I wouldn?t be worried by if they at least tried to be competitive but they really just aren?t bothered. It would be less bad if they were playing decent sides but the 3 sides they are playing really aren?t very good, of course Rovers make any side look good in Europe with how terrible they are but in actuality they really arent.

    Every other team in Europe from Ireland had much tougher fixtures in Europe and yes they would love to be in Europe and would show far more respect than Rovers would have.

    Because every single argument you make always is just a deflection, so much so that I need to repeat it and hope it reaches into you?re brain some how unless you just don?t have a functioning one?
    Sit Booboo, sit!

    Did someone steal your lunch money? Bradley perhaps?
