Don't be ashamed. Could be the start of something beautiful, or it may not. Enjoy the experience, sure its cheap entertainment you've guaranteed interest in.

This time of year again then. Started a thread like this last year and never expected a LoI club to be involved so late in the year. Tall order to expect anything similar this season.

While Rovers got the lowest seed it's still a dicey draw. I've always had a fear all season even before they went a bit off form that there would be know guarantee of getting past the initial round this year. I hope I'm wrong, it'll be great to see them win and secure a EL play-off place at least.

I'm hoping for good things from Sligo this year. We the need the league's better clubs performing and Sligo are one of them. I'd like to see them go on a mini run and make the EL play-offs as well. Tall order but when all talk was on Rovers in Europe last year, I didn't see any reason why Sligo and Derry could not challenge for EL play-off places through the early EL rounds. Unfortunately Derry were kept out and have gone back a bit anyways.

Pat's have had a decent season and have always done well for the league in Europe. Hopefully we'll see more of the same with them getting to Round 3 at least.

Finally Bohs, I'm not sure what to expect. Awesome win over Rovers Friday night. It'll be great to see them get through Round 1 as well and get past 2 in to Round 3.

We need 2 at least of our clubs getting to the EL play-offs on a regular basis. I'd see that as good progress and there will be years where the knocking on the door will see more LoI clubs in group stage action. Results like Belgrade won't happen every year but the more LoI clubs are getting to play-offs, the more chances they are of similar nights.

Great to hear,I'm sure you'll receive a warm welcome

As others have said there's no need to be ashamed! I only started supporting Bohs 3 and a half years ago and now I'm a member.

Any questions just ask.

Also, unfortunately due to some Uefa rule our 3 bars will be closed on Thursday

I think our biggest enemy vs Thor will be complacency. If we get through not a chance we'll get past Boleslav, their on a different level to us!

4:48 onwards that roar when he rounds the keeper, without doubt my ultimate treasured moment as a football fan.

Seriously nothing on tv or in any other country compares to that, and i a bit of a slut i have 57 stadiums on been to list :pac:

It's a shame these games are not covered. I know it's early rounds against a team from a low ranked league but still, there should be coverage of these games.

You'll be able to find a link online later I'd reckon, but don't post them here might get in trouble. Use the PM's;)

This was me this time last year and I got hooked on it from there. Enjoy the game pal.

They'll probably neglect to show a classic in this stage of the Europa League and opt to broadcast our probable comical spanking at the hands of the Lithuanians.

Player/Assistant-manager Heary has warned against taking the opposition lightly. “Nothing is won on paper. Look at last Friday’s result. Rovers looked better on paper, with more experienced players.
“Go back to the TNS game [in the Champions League in 2010]. We were the better team on paper and we got hammered.”

He is spot on. No game is won on paper. While both Pat's and Bohs should get through, it's not going to be easy.

Hopefully Callaghan has the lads feet firmly on the ground. They'll still be on a high after Friday and rightly so but have to avoid being over confident. Hoping that the feel good factor continues.

Be interesting to see the attendance at Dalymount given that The Stone Roses are also on tonight.

Best of luck to Pats and Bohs tonight.

I can never warm to sports teams from Iceland, having seen their behaviour in the second Mighty Ducks movie.

If someone is watching this online, could you post me a link via PM

I see that you get €90k from just competing in the Europa League. Bit mad that you get that from 2 games, whereas you only get €100k for winning the league.

G'wan Pats. 1-0 Fagan goal.

Love the commentary too form the Pats fans.

Com 1 - "Flicked forward by IBV..."
Com 2 - "That's a hoof!"
Com 1 - '"It's a continental flick!"

They should have done better, I suppose

0-0 at home in a European game is always a good result, by the sounds of it we were by far the better team, 10+ corners, goal disallowed etc but we sat back and passed the ball around a lot. Would be fairly positive going into the 2nd leg after that.

One or two away goals will do the trick then

Hopefully, that match will be on the telly.

Good win for Pats, IBV didnt look up to much.

dreamers75

Double post:


We werent very good, looked like a team not interested, sloppy in possession , sloppy passing. Not what we used to anyway.

IBV werent up to much, few decent players. Think we will score over there and doubt they will get 3.


Most pats fans disappointed cos we secretly wanted to thump them and book flights to Bosnia on the basis of the result. Holding off means i wont be able to go if we get a win over there next week.

I Commentated on 1st half, Mark Rossiter 2nd half, hes been waiting weeks to use that Bisto gravy joke

Mushy

Shows how bad IBV were if Pats werent that good.

Were you in Mcdowells before the match?

Terrible match in Dalymount.

They were happy to sit back and we looked poor going forward. Should have won and could rue not getting a goal.

Tbh a 0-0 at home is a cracking result. no pressure on you going away and they will **** themselves.

Is this where Pats are playing next week? What a ground!

Nah, they were there to be had, their keeper was particularly bad but we didn't test him properly. Obviously keeping a clean sheet is great but we have a habit of giving away silly goals and really wouldn't be surprised if we messed it up in Iceland.

Do you think you will score? Btw we were awful tonight, barely got 5 passes together.

Fairly sure we will score over there tho.

GLaDOS

We should be able to get a goal, we'll probably be set up to shoot on sight next week, their keeper is seriously dodgy.

Pretty much. Frustrating night.

And elsewhere where you mentioned their dodgy 'keeper; ours could seriously do with shedding that nedser.

You wouldn't want a rockslide or landslide to happen..

Flora looked decent in Tallaght last year but when pushed to go forward at home, they were diabolical. Pats should be through, but Bohs..0-0 against the Icelandic second division..
