Not too bad. There are direct flights from Cork to Prague too. Didn't Rovers play a team from the Czech Rep a few years ago? I know they got beaten, but Cork are a better side now than Rovers were then. The group stages are where the real money is, I reckon Cork can get there.

Considering the rest of the teams in their group, it could've been a lot worse.

Only Levski Sofia or that Ukranina team (Metalh... ?) would've been on a par with Slavia, but no where near as good trips-wise. Everton would have been a good glamour draw though.

Second leg at home is a winner - hopefully Cork can do the usual 'surprise' act away and then baton down the hatches at home.

When are the games being played ?

Wouldnt be so despondent Patsh:

Slavia Prague are not the big, mean machine that people are building them up to be. I saw them against Levski Sofia a couple of years back at the Georgi Aspruakov stadium in Sofia and they looked very ordinary especially with all the stars in the squad. I'm optimistic that you lot can get a result out there and with a bit of luck take the tie.

If ye can keep the score down to a margin of -1 with that away goal or even a draw (score draw) than its all to play for at the X. Besides with direct flights to Prague from Cork, I'm sure you can have a further 3 days to rack up another round of unpaid lapdancing bills.

My verdict: too close to call.

Could of got an easier team but could certainly of got a harder team too

. I think if Cork can go over there and manage a draw then they can definetely win the home leg.

**ColinR** · 26/08/2005, 11:29 AM

weren't slavia prague the crowd that lost their seeding because liverpool were allowed in??

very tough draw. cant see cork getting through. with a bit of luck they can keep the tie alive out there, and maybe sneak it at home, but i'd be doubtful
