Juve vs Rovers 2nd leg

dreamers75

Has to be called off, pissing rain and the ball barely moving on the pitch.

Best possible result for me

No way UEFA will call it off tbh

Tis fierce wet alright. Great for Rovers.

Cant remember last time it ever happened other than crowd violence but they would rather not call it off.

What would be the consequences of it being called off? Would it just be replayed?

For feck sake, theres about two inches deep of standing water around the left touchline.

the closest I can remember was when a Real-Villarreal match was called off due to some Eta threat.

Won't be called off when they are 20 minutes in.

Shocking weather. My picture is breaking up every 5 seconds.

Frozen now with a test card showing.

Is RTE working or is it the same?

CSF

Fingal-Bray was very similar in the playoffs last season. Game shouldn't be going ahead at all.

RTÉ is poor tbh. Commentary is muffled

Shocking conditions. Can't see this going for 90 minutes.

The commentary reminds me of the moon landing broadcast.

It's great, proper European match with the commentary coming down the phone in the pissings of rain at a stadium no-one's ever seen before.

I blame Jon Kenny for the weather

Some commentary, are they on a phone in the jacks there or what.
But I'd say this one will see it out. For UEFA its a nothing qualifier game which the team they want through is already through anyway. So what if its a joke of a game on a lake that ends 0-0. Juve are still in next round, thats good enough for them! This won't be called off, thats for sure.

Aw feck, that should have been 1-0 rovers...inches away Pity would have made it interesting

Nalz

All the best to Rovers, would love to see them pox 2 goals and bring it to extra time!

DerekDGoldfish

If the rain comes back they have a change its a well known fact Juventus hate the rain.


Well they lost a title on the last day about 10 years ago on the rainiest game in history but rovers have to cling to something.

Del Piero, yesterday.

Its like european footie used to look and sound before the money arrived.

JokerD

This game is calling out for a Michael Phelps.

Stevecw

Rovers doing well there, but Juve seem at a half arsed effort really! Seem like they wanna get thru this without an injury. 0-0 is looking very likely. Good for Irish co-efficient if nothing else.

That fella..whathisname...Del Piero takes a decent free-kick..

Fluked one in eventually.

Some free from Del Piero.

1-0

Stevecw

Wow that was quality!! What a strike!!

mal1

No shame on going down 1-0 to that goal

starviewadams

Some auld goal,there's still life in the old dog!

The Volt

Nothing could have stopped that. Just hope that's all they have in the tank

The_Kew_Tour

Love see Rovers score

Juan Pablo

Wonder strike from Del Piero, still a class act. Fair play to Rovers, despite the result they have done themselves justice.

Oat23

Can see Juve getting another tbh. Hope not.

Ah no, I put everything in my betting a/c that they wouldn't. Was just above evens so seemed a cert.

SarahBM

Fair Play to Rovers!!! they played very well!

Oat23

MON interview coming up.
I could probably guess word for word what he'll say.

Well done rovers, nothing to be ashamed of!

CSF

Liam Brady's lack of knowledge is shocking.

To be fair he admited he did'nt have much knowledge of the league but Rico was there for that.

It was a good result for Rovers. They lost to a brilliant goal and gave a good account of themselves.

It was nice to see Juventus show them respect as well. I think the bigger clubs always show LOI clubs more respect in europe. The mid-level clubs from Sweden, Austria etc are always far more arrogant for some reason.

Brady played for Juventus so i reckon thats the reason.

Guess cos he played his club football in Italy for 7 years.

Diabhal Beag

He played for Juve so they suspected he had a knowledge of the Italian game.

No I know that, but surely its obligatory that the chap does a bit of research on both teams playing. Especially when one is the local side who the viewers will be cheering for. I don't even think he seemed that informed on Juve tbh. I genuinely get the impression that if its not the Premiership or Ireland he just doesn't want to know.
