Firstly, point out any spelling errors? Secondly, are you going to add to the topic or just personally abuse me?

I hear you'll be in the main stand... don't ask me how I know this.

Incredibly worried about this one, they have definitely cottoned on to what Quigo is all about, or they must have by now, after he ran riot in the second half over there. I expect a good few English scouts will be there as well, with an eye to buying him or Fahey.

Oh, and re: supporting other clubs in Europe - I actually went to Tolka when Shels were in Europe a few years ago. It nearly killed me, I might have choked on half-hearted words of encouragement once or twice, but coefficient points help everyone in the League. Not sure I'd do it again if I could go back though.

3000 seats and tickets are still available!!!.Pats are having an excellent season, great result in Sweden, are our only representatives in Europe, and they struggle to shift the equivalent of the "jodi"....apathy reigns.

200 tickets available. Which means 2700 sold only 50 swedish fans over. Imagine only getting 50 fans to an away game in UEFA ....... shocking.......isnt that what bohs got in Latvia?

no way this post can get me an infraction

As a City fan,I've other things on my mind,I just feel Pats deserve more support.The "jodi" was a reference point,that most fans here can relate to.Hope the Saints make it, a good news story would be a relief.

Elfsborg went to Tolka Park, Richmond Park to train instead of Richmond Park, Emmet Road

I'm kind of sickened after seeing the Kiev v Spartak result tonight
I know the Roddys of this world will continue to say that Kiev were far better than Drogs in every way except scoring, but the fact is that Drogs had 2 clear chances to win at the end & really should have knocked Kiev out. Then to see that Kiev win the next round 8:2 on aggregate! - THATS how close we (eLOI) came to the CL group stages this year!

Fingers crossed for Pats tomorrow - IMO this league is getting better each year but this is the only way we can prove it - winning regularly in Europe.

good luck to pats tonight hope they do the business.

The thing with the tickets even the fairweathers would find it easier get to tolka/dalymount, richmond is that bit more awkward get too. Still no excuse though, dont know why people cant get into the buzz of European games even if you aren't an EL regular.

**Dodge** · 28/08/2008, 9:39 AM

Wouldn't worry about the tickets being sold. Guaranteed to be people turning up tonight expecting them to be sold..

In fairness it would still have been pretty tough to get past Spartak. I would be more inclined to think that Kiev showed their true ability in those games rather than thinking that Kiev were lucky against Drogs and Drogs would have beaten Spartak easily as well.

In other news, Kaunas lost 2-0 again to Aalborg, thus keeping the Lithuanian coefficient to a realistic level.

For this season yes. It will be changed from next season.

Ah stop confusing him/her

If Pats get through this round, they are in the first round proper. We'll be unseeded, and teams like AC Milan, Valencia etc are out potential opponents. That will be the last round before the group stages
