Whats ****ing hip hop about it? Its the way you see most dancing on a Saturday night.

Or a wedding

Put on Madagascar for my niece today couldn't help but think that King Julien and Mort remind me a lot of Alberto Del Rio & Ricardo Rodriguez. Think thats a sign that i'm watching too much Wrestling.

champions league draw tedium on top of tedium, take uniteds draw though any day of week.

city have a tricky enough one imo

The Volt

More importantly big night for Rovers. McCormack out injured though which is a big blow. Here's hoping! It's on Setanta Ireland by the way. Off out to the pub now to watch it

GTR63

City got a competive group, i'd say they have spent more money than the other 3 teams combined. Utd group is a pure cakewalk. Chelsea & Arsenal have tricky harder groups but should go through. Gutted Milan got Barca who's style couldn't be any better to murder us with Pace,fast passing & ...did I mention the speed enough. At least BATE & Plzen aren't that good.

Charisteas

Good luck Rovers. Wonder how many fans headed to Belgrade.

JP Liz V1

Group A: Bayern Munich, Villareal, Manchester City, Napoli.

Group B: Inter Milan, CSKA Moscow, Lille, Trabzonspor.

Group C: Manchester United, Benfica, Basel, Otelul Galati.

Group Real Madrid, Lyon, Ajax, Dinamo Zagreb.

Group E: Chelsea, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, Genk.

Group F: Arsenal, Marseille, Olympiakos, Borussia Dortmund.

Group G: Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg, Apoel FC.

Group H: Barcelona, AC Milan, Bate Borisov, FC Viktoria Pilzen.

Arsenal seems to have got the toughest group

rovert

Anyone read Meltzer's Vale Tudo article? Not an original opinion at this stage but it probably one of the very best things he has ever written. He wasted his life covering Wrestling.

Not bad at all! Wonder if they will play their group stage matches in Tallaght or the Aviva?

GTR63

Fair play to Shamrock Rovers,glad some teams are doing well in the Europa League there isn't a lot of money in the Europa League but it would be a lot for a Irish club though.
Bellamy being linked with a return to liverpool hmmmm...don't know what to make of that better than N'gog anyway. I'm fairly happy this Coates guy is coming in after seeing him do so well in the industrious Uruguay side that won the Copa. Poor Aquaman is gone ;-( I wanted to see him at least be given a chance this year & it looks like Galliani got a great deal for AC for him

That 1st goal better be on Sky Sports goal of the week tomorrow oh & that Trish Stratus lookalike presenter Olivia Godfrey who must be at this stage my 500th tv Crush

jmolloy

well done to rovers. hope the draw is harsh to you tomorrow though speaking as a derry city fan as i want the league.

on a serious note this is one hell of an achieverment fo SR and the LOI in general. I've been saying for a few years this league is better than 95% of what Scotland has to offer and tonight in many ways may be a tipping point. also why are people saying the games should be at the aviva? if Otelul Galati can play utd in front of 13,000 in romania sr's matches should be in tallaght as they'd be atmospheric and intimidating. teams wouldn't worry about plaing at the aviva

Pentecost

They're not allowed play in Galati, moved to Bucharest. Rovers will have to use the Aviva or possibly the RDS.

rovert

Any estimates what this is worth to the club?

They get a million from UEFA for getting to the group stages. It's 120k for a win and 60k for a draw in the group stages. Add in the gate and merch at the games and Rovers could make at least 3 mil from this

Sickened.

Just in the door and havn't been to the soccer boards yet but is that confirmed?

EDIT: uefa.com is saying Dublin Arena, guess that means Aviva Stadium.

Hope Voltwad is keeping safe in NYC ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Irene.

I'm proud of our neck of the woods on boards. We tend to run really smoothly with a relaxed atmos. After Hours requires a lot of modding. I don't envy the mods there!

I got it. That is to say that I rented it. And I am dam glad I didn't pay 44.99 for that copy and pasted crap.
Its near the exact same as the games produced as EA a few years ago. Players only vaguely look like who they are supposed to be, the ai still barrels after the ball like a bunch of children.
I was a little optimistic when I started playing because I kinda liked the old ps2 games. But honestly it seems like they have gone a fair distance backwards.

Apparently, that Steve Jobs pic was photoshopped by TMZ

Tmz are pretty low. Wonder if it was one of them or someone outside who shopped it and passed it onto them.

Ye both should get the Rugby Challenge game. It's far better gameplay-wise and picture-wise. It's basically Pro-evo 2004 v Fifa 04 (with little to no licenses)

Delighted with that liverpool performance, except the end where you were reminded that Carragher is washed up & going grey. Good lift after watching the flat,limp & damp performance at the Aviva today.

I see the Dubs winning relatively easy today. Donegal don't have the fire power so I reckon Dublin by 4 or more.
