    Well that’s the tie over in all likelihood. What a brutal showing from Rovers this year in the champions route.

    The loudest cheer so far from the visiting Rovers fans was for a misplaced Breidablik pass.

    Did people actually think Rovers were ever going to respond...

    The lack of adaptability on show in Europe, look a complete pub side against even below average sides.

    Rovers are honestly so bad its borderline laughable, how can any Rovers fan watch this and still support Bradley as a manager. This happens year in year out and still the same mistakes are being made.

    A brutal showing in Europe is infinitely better than not being in Europe?

    Depends on the results in Europe. The bad ones get remembered, long after the memories fade of the years you didn’t qualify.

    For now, group stage qualification still appears to be an occasional one off success. Back to back qualification is still some way off for even our “best sides”.

    Rovers should try and get to the 3rd qualification round of the ECL and take the cash. If they will the league they can have a bash again next year. They most certainly need to strengthen the squad to have any hope.

    Icelandics look way better on the ball. Quicker and more skilful. Rovers had some half chances. Not a great performance by any means, clumsy at times, but not as bad as last week.

    Cant attack, cant defend and continue to play a system that doesnt suit the players Rovers have, trying to play a counter attack system with players as slow as **** and a XI with an average age of over 30 just sums up this club perfectly. Ties like this show up Bradley as a manager and this is what Rovers can expect for the foreseeable future in Europe as long as they stick by him. And no this is NOT trolling, its time many fans wake up and smell the coffee, this is not a good team Rovers are playing and Rovers have been made look a complete pub team by them.

    Shocking by the VAR team that the ref was required to have a look. It was peno all day long.

    But Rovers don’t play on the counter. Rovers for years now have been a team that plays a possession game, with patient passing, almost a Dutch style. In fact it’s been my main criticism of them especially away from home in Europe that they don’t play a more mixed game.

    Great effort by Burke from long range there!

    Spare me the faux concern …. Sure we need new players but also going for 4 in a row and have an academy set up and facilities the envy of the league, literally millions generated from transfers and Europe , so a few bad days in Europe when viewed in that context is not an issue.

    4 in a row because you buy all the most experienced players in the league weather they fit the system or not, it will win you a league but games like tonight is where it gets exposed when you are incapable of adapting. A great academy system yet you are playing a squad where most of the players are old enough to be some of the academy players father…if that isn’t a massive red flag then what is? Lol “afew” this is a common occurrence, obviously even a broken clock is right twice a day but the only times it’s successful is when Rovers get to play a side in qualifying that is bad enough to lose (Hibernians/Shkupi).
