2-0 KÍ!
Rovers in big danger of a rematch with Ferencvaros next
Rovers are in serious danger of 4/4 defeats this year in Europe.. damn!
0-3! Klaksvik handily winning this one.
What on earth is going on there?!
Maybe it's as well Rovers are going to avoid KÍ
There must be something in the water up that part of the world with these performances in the CL. Mind you KI’s is even more impressive.
Maybe they are lucky to be avoiding KI. Very strong side.
KÍ were gifted a penalty, shocking defending for the second, and a comical (what I would class as) OG for the third.
I can't believe Ferencvaros are usually as bad as they're playing here.
Just looking through young Shamrock Rovers players to have made their LOI Shamrock Rovers debut under Bradley in the past 5 years, the club and the much vaunted academy so far has been a springboard for either UK or other LOI clubs but contributing little for the first team. I might have to make some time to do a breakdown of Pats and Bohs in the same period
They are giving players debuts but there is a reluctance to persist with young developing players when the club is set with a target to win the league every season, this looks to be catching up with them now with the squad's age profile and some evidence of the team past their peak in the league and Europe, interestingly no debuts made by Bradley so far this season if Rovers are going to address their age profile they are going to need some of the players debuting since 2021 and current under 19s to become established quickly
Gavin Bazunu - debut 2018 now with Southampton/ROI international
Brandon Kavanagh - debut 2018 now with Derry City
Dean Williams - debut 2018 now with Bohemians
Eric Abulu - debut 2019 now with Ballymun United
Sean Callan - debut 2019 last seen 2022 with Bray Wanderers
James Furlong - debut 2019 now with Brighton & Hove Albion
Thomas Oluwa - debut 2019 now with Wexford on loan from Waterford
Max Murphy - debut 2020 now with Bray Wanderers
Darragh Nugent - debut 2020 still with Shamrock Rovers
Zayd Abada - debut 2021 only one first team appearance still with Shamrock Rovers U19s
Kieran Cruise - debut 2021 still with Shamrock Rovers first team and U19s
Dylan Duffy - debut 2021 now with Lincoln City
Aidomo Emakhu - debut 2021 now with Millwall
Dean McMenamy - debut 2021 now with Waterford
Conan Noonan - debut 2021 still with Shamrock Rovers first team and U19s
Justin Ferizaj - debut 2022 still with Shamrock Rovers
Carl Lennox - debut 2022 still with Shamrock Rovers first team and U19s
Gideon Tetteh - debut 2022 still with Shamrock Rovers first team and U19s

The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
As regards Pats, Sam Curtis and Jamie Lennon start every week, Adam Murphy most weeks and Ben McCormack frequently. All from the Academy. The same was true of Darragh Burns and James Abankwah until their moves.
sean boyd??
agree though they must be disappointed with the lack of academy lads that cut it for LOI prem level. theyve nailed the UK market in terms of selling on the young lads but the lack of any real starter quality player in their squad now is telling. i suppose if ferizaj hadnt fallen out with the club he'd be there or there abouts
Did Zefi never play first team? I know he played for Rovers B in the First Division. Probably too young to have featured for the firsts I guess?
Duffy was on loan at UCD last year of course, so Rovers didn't get any first-team benefit out of him. I wonder how many games that lot played between them?
That’s Rovers fecked so!
Could be wrong but does that result guarantee group stage football for a team from either Iceland or the Faroes. That'd be a first I think.
Boyd made his Rovers LOI debut in 2016 under Fenlon just before Bradley took over, I picked past 5 years as it's better timeframe to lo with Bradley established under his tenure and the academy ramping up with facilities opening in 2017
Transfermarket has alot of good info on this type of stuff. Rovers over the past decade have been a springboard for alot of the LOI and UK opportunities but the lack of medium-to-long term friction with the first team fighting to win league titles and win in Europe is an interesting study considering their weight the FAI/LOI are placing on the academy structures and the underage system for the growth of the LOI and National Team

No Zefi never made a first team appearance of any sort, he made 3 starts 8 sub appearance scoring 1 goal for the 'B' team in that 2020 First Division season when he was 15
Duffy made 3 sub Premier Division appearances for Rovers. Almost similar to Zefi at the 'B' team he made 3 starts 7 sub appearances scoring 1 goal
Could be some players like Duffy trying to come out of the U19s looking at restricted first team opportunities at Rovers that going to UCD or someone else to play regularly may be a better option if they want to eventually go professional in the LOI or to the UK

PO guaranteed. Need to win one more round in anyone of the 3 completions to get to the group stage.
Not yet I think - they're guaranteed to reach the Conference League playoffs at present. But they could still be beaten in their next three ties
But aren't Ki ve Breidbilk in the next round so one of them has to go through and then is guaranteed Conference League group stage at least.
