Do you support EL clubs in Europe?

**Billy-Green** · 14/07/2008, 1:37 PM

Yep i like to see them do well, as the rest have said it's good for the league but i was

when bohs got knocked out but still happy they got the win on the night last week

**jebus** · 14/07/2008, 1:45 PM

Nope. My feelings towards clubs in Europe range from actively hoping they fail to not really caring if they succeed

You know they can revoke your Rovers membership for saying you were happy to see Bohs win under any circumstances

I'd support all the League of Ireland sides in Europe. Wexford Youths are a recent addition to the landscape, long before they existed I still wanted to see the League of Ireland sides progress in Europe. I might even head to Dalymount on Wednesday to check out the Drogs game.

Yes I support all LOI sides in Europe & hope they get as far as possible. Even cheer for the Irish League side too.

Irish league sides!!! I laugh when they get hammered.

Another reason I want sides to do well this season is it just might give us a chance to gain a few points on them.

Yep, always like to see Irish sides do well. The only exception was when Shels lost to the Maltesers a few years ago. Oh, how I laughed (for obvious reasons

)

I support all Irish clubs, north and south in Europe. I hope they all can get as far as they can.

The worst result i remember was the 10:0 result a few years back. That was such an embrassing scoreline for this league. I can remember thinking that things couldn't possibly get any worse after that. Hopefully that was a turning point and we'll never have to ensure that kinda stuff ever again.

10-0? Are you sure? who were the teams? I honestly can't remember this or i can't remember any LOI team playing a big European team such as Milan or Madrid and getting hammered but maybe i am forgetting !

Dont know if you are asking a genuine question, or just wumming, but St. Pats were beaten 5-0 in both legs of a game against Zimbru Chisinau (or something like that) from Moldova in the 99/2000 season (or maybe 1 year earlier or later)

**gspain** · 16/07/2008, 12:40 PM

Yes always. Rarely miss a game within easy reach of Dublin (includes Derry's last 2 as well) while I'd rarely make a premier division match these days.

Our clubs did take some hammerings - Derby edged out Haprs 16-1 on aggregate (and that was an og) incl 12-0 in Derby. Liverpool put 10 past Dundalk. i think Tottenham put 14 past Drogheda over 2 legs.

We had some decent results too though such as Shels putting out Belenenses, Dundalk knocking out DOS Utrecht.

However recent years have been our most consistent. We need to at least consolidate where we are. Ideally it would be great if all 3 clubs progressed beyond the first round. However hopefully at least 2 will progress.

Pats were beaten 10-0 by a team from Moldova

that is shocking (was not in Ireland if it was that season) That must go down as the worst league of Ireland result ever? Even Harps getting tanked (which i knew about) is better than this at least Derby came from a proper league.

**Saint_Charlie** · 16/07/2008, 5:45 PM

Yep it was us alright. Summer of '99. Was at the home leg, which was first, and it was depressing stuff. Apparently there was a LOT of infighting in the team at the time and a few of them even came to blows either on the way over to the game or on the way back.

Ah well

I applaud you for your progressive thinking. Why on earth would you begrudge a team that plays in a different division enjoying some European success? That just doesn't make any sense to me.

**RonnieB** · 16/07/2008, 10:55 PM

I coulnt care less how the rest do. I care aboot my club and that is it.

**mypost** · 18/07/2008, 2:41 PM

I would support us of course, and hope the other 20 clubs do well, and go as far as possible if/when in Europe.

That just leaves one club out. You don't need to be an Einstein to work out who.

**stovelid** · 18/07/2008, 4:16 PM

I don't exactly support some teams but I'd rather see them win. Wouldn't want them to progress too far though, certainly not to the group stages of the CL....

I'd say Longford getting hammered in wals would up there

Zimbru were the best team we've ever polayed, and went on to progress past 2 more rounds and were eventually knocked out by Tottenham in the UEfa cup

Not saying the result wasn't a diisgrace though
