I think we will win on Thursday but not necessarily the tie. Their officials left United Park on Friday night looking a bit glum

Reckon Drogs have every chance against Helsingborg. From what I hear they are a physically big side with only two good players , Larsson and some other dude. They have lost some key players recently and they have not been replaced , team is not "gelling" as much as Baxter would like. Their spying trip to United Park last Friday will certainly give them plenty to think about and I feel that if the Drogs can stop them from scoring at Dalymount then they have every chance of progressing.
Reckon everyone here should put their differances aside and get behind the EL's last remaining representatives in Europe , after all its out league thats on the stage and not just Drogheda United.
C'omn the Drogs!
Drogs to go through
I must commend a lot of you on your optimism on this one. Most Swedes I speak to are full sure that Helsingborgs are going to go through to the next round with ease. Based on what I saw of EL sides in Europe this season, I tend to agree with them.
I really hope that Drogheda beat them and go through. For the sake of the league.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
Looks like its gonna be a very poor turn outOkay, thats two definates... Any more?
I'll can ask a few of my mates to go but doubt they will
Children in the dark cause accidents.

They might be otherwise occupied on Thursday, I'd say!I'll can ask a few of my mates to go but doubt they will
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
They were also full sure Malmo would beat us in 2004, even more sure Djurgarden would beat us in 2005, and absolutely certain Gothenburg would beat Derry last year.....
Havn't seen Helsingborg myself so dunno. Drogs will have to improve bigtime on the last tie but Ive no doubt they can, and if they do are well capable of progressing
For the record Torn-Ado - how many of those Swedes you speak to thought that Gothenborg would lose twice to City last year.....?
I've no idea.. he never mentioned anything about scottish people
Gretna 1 - 5 Derry. The Gretna fans were certain it would be a cake walk.I've no idea.. he never mentioned anything about scottish people
Edit - correct score, just having vague flashbacks to Kristiansand that night

aaaahmm.........Gretna 1 Derry 5
Think of the co-efficients people!!!!
Forzadrogs.....A blog by a Drog with an opinion!
Whats the betting therell be irish muppets in Celtic shirts supporting Helsingborgs
A few of the arrogant Swedes were confident last year against Derry but many of the more sensible ones were extremely wary and worried. They knew after all that Cork knocked out Malmo and Djurgarden the previous two years and Swedish sides were being knocked by by Welsh and Bosnian teams.
This year the Swedish clubs are doing a lot better. All their teams made it through to the next round. Their champions are up against Valencia in the third round of the CL, Helsingborgs shatt on the Estonians 9-0 and their second tier team Häcken made it through too.
They've looked at Drogheda and the other EL sides in Europe this season who have performed badly and they are confident. This season Swedish club football is on the up in Europe whereas Irish football has sunk.
Like I said, I hope Drogheda do get through but I'm not confident that they will.

I find the above very difficult to believe Torn-Ado. Everyone I encountered in Sweden before the game gave us no chance at all. The Swedish press gave us no chance. Swedish TV didn't even bother to send along any cameras, it was considered such a done deal. The IFK team thouhgt they were home and hosed. Most IFK fans didn't bother going to the game, they were so confident they'd get through. All-in-all - the over-riding sentiment in Sweden was that IFK would win.
To say that Swedes were "extremely worried" about the Derry game is a tad post-rationalised I suspect....
