LOI In Europe 2025

[Martinho II]

Have heard shels are doing well selling good numbers for their tallaght ECL games, is it a mixture of novelty of competition and a chance to see an EPL team maybe?

Yeah I would be of the same opinion too PC!

The stadium map on the Shels website tickets sales look like the 3 match bundle is selling ok maybe about two-thirds of the stadium sold, not all of the blocks were open for sale the entire South Stand and half of the East Stand were not available but I can see they have now opened up the middle block 304 of the East Stand for sales

The price point of €55 for a Category 2 ticket is really good value to see UEFA group stage football even if Palace were not involved, the Palace game will obviously sell out when the remaining individual tickets go on sale, Hacken and Drita I wouldn't be convinced that they will sell out but they could get close

Just saw the Swedish league table, Hacken sit 12th of 16 teams, just 4 point above the relegation playoff spot with 6 games to go, 3 of which are against Malmo and away to AIK Stockholm and league leaders Mjallby so there’s a realistic chance they could go down if things don’t go their way. Shels should really be turning them over at Tallaght next week to get themselves off to a good start

I knew they were mid table or thereabouts when the draw was made but they have sunk even lower. Definitely a good time to be facing them at home.

Shels are in North Macedonia this afternoon - 3pm kick off Irish time for the second leg of their Youth League tie against Rabotnicki. 5-0 up from the first leg in Tolka of course - only the second time an LoI side has ever won a European tie by five goals

In Skopje on holidays atm so I'm at this. 2-1 for Shels at halftime. Should be at least 3 or 4 for Shels, they're cutting Rabotnicki apart time after time but some poor finishing and a few good saves by the keeper have kept it at two. Rabotnicki are a poor side but their 11 scored a very good individual goal just before halftime, their number 10 is probably their best player. For Shels their midfield is dominant, numbers 6, 8 and 10 have been very good. Number 9 has two goals but he really should have at least one more.

Skopje's a nice city to wander. Watch out for the statues!

Are you going to get out to Ohrid at all? Beautiful spot.

5-1 Shels now; 10-1 on aggregate

First LoI side to hit double figures in Europe, and still 20 minutes to go

There's a ridiculous amount of statues around the city. Some are impressive others are strange and some are just naff and historically dubious. Not getting to Ohrid I'm afraid, was in Kosovo since Friday and did a lot of travelling around there so I don't want to do as much around here, Ohrid does look beautiful. Might try and go to the Painted Mosque in Tetovo.

As to the match 7-1 now. Rabotnicki are one of the worst teams I've seen in a match.
