Will Shamrocks get a crowd of over 5 to 6,000 tonight!
Is the Shams game on TV?
A lot of rotation in tonight’s line up with an eye on Sunday. If we can keep the score somewhat respectable I’d be content enough to move on to a huge cup game v Shels.
Big night for Shams. You'd have to think the Shams can't be as bad as they were last week.
I think the Shams will get over the line, 2-0.
With Pat's tie already done and dusted maybe they could give to co-efficient it's first points a while with a boring 0-0 draw.
I'm minded of our trip to Kosovo last year (lost by one goal in the same stadium in front of about the same crowd)
Came away from it thinking we'd had the better of the chances and we'd take them in the return - instead they upped their game and beat us 3-1 in the Bowl
That has nothing to do with Rovers tonight really - it's just one of those stupid coincidences football fans pay too much attention to
But bottom line - wouldn't underestimate the Kosovans, especially with Rovers having to chase the game
Obviously happenings in the Azores will be of interest too
Crikey - Pat's go ahead in the first minute!
Didn't see that coming.
I presume that'll just annoy Besiktas. But still - for now, why not have a bit of hope?
Great start , I’ll take that. Delighted for Carty.
What the hell is happening in Turkey
Well now. Pats doing v well. Besiktas having most of the ball but haven’t created a clear chance. Pats dangerous when they get into the box and Besiktas looking a bit loose at the back. V interesting match indeed.
Hard to believe what I'm watching. Pats have barely got out of their own half but it doesn't seem like Besiktas know how to defend either.
Fans are booing like crazy now too. Hopefully they hold on till half time and let the pressure build on the home side.

Another mad comeback happening in Denmark. Brondby lost 3-0 to Vikingur Reykjavik last week - this week they're 2-0 up inside an hour, even after having a man sent after 15 minutes.
Ah poo - Besiktas pull one back. That'll settle them now I think.
Besiktas goal had a massive fortuitous deflection. V unlucky for Pats, who are defending manfully.
Deflection in off Joe Redmond. I’d be delighted to go in ahead a HT no matter what.
