Rovers v Ekranus Second Leg

paddy978

Starting on Setanta Ireland at 6.

Stevecw

Hard to see, but sounds like a good few Rovers fans made there way to this one. Can hear them.
Haven't got Setanta, so watching on some Lithuanian stream!

Stevecw

Good save there by Rovers keeper, apart from that been a nothing game so far.

carlop

Rovers doing alright so far, though that was a very good chance for Ekranas.

Quite a picturesque setting for a stadium.

Mr.Crinklewood

Decent enough match do far.

Have persuaded the OH to record Home & Away. ( she has finally copped on that I will not record the football ).

Mr.Crinklewood

Who is the co-commentator ?

Francie Barrett

1-0 Ekranas

Francie Barrett

HT, 1-0.

Mr.Crinklewood

Shams one down, poor defending.

Bad timing, just before half time.

Draw would have probably been a deserved half time score line.

ShamoBuc

Shocking time to give away a goal.

Alan Mathews.

Is the Shels manager in Lithuania, or a studio in Dublin?

A_Sober_Paddy

The defending from the cross was woeful...If your going to defend like that you don't deserve to go through.

Lets hope Rovers can get a goal back and make a game out of it

He's there - he was talking about things happening 'just below us' on the pitch. He does that media nixer all the time - can't remember if he did European games last year or not - I think he did.

CSF

With a bit of luck, he might even get the Rovers job if Kenny is sacked.

Ha - I think he'd love that. He's a Shams fan, isn't he?

bohsboy

I expected Rovers to test these a lot more. Brennan is getting petulant. Cant see where the goals will come from just yet.

Francie Barrett

Were Rovers on the beer last night? Strolling around as if this was a meaningless kick about at the moment.

Francie Barrett

2-0 out of nothing.

Mr.Crinklewood

Terrible.

Stevecw

All over now anyway. Such a simple 2nd goal

Francie Barrett

20 minutes to save this.

They've given up. Half of them are probably thinking this will finish off Kenny.

Francie Barrett

Should be 3-0, absolute sitter for Ekranas.

Stevecw

Well saved there, thought it wud be 3

Francie Barrett

Looked an even worse miss the second time, he had a runner with all the space in the world to lay it off to.

Kenny is a fraud. Two goals down and his great tactical move is to switch Turner and Brennan.

If nothing else I hope this is the end of him, the season's already a write off so get someone from outside the league in and give him a chance to build.

Worst year in while for LOI teams in Europe.

This might be the end of him alright. Just hasn't worked at all. This is a poor effort against a very average kinda team.

paddy978

Jansson one of the few who looks like they care.

Francie Barrett

Whatever about the manager, some of the players have been a disgrace.

born2bwild

Fore purely personal reasons Kenny should just take whatever's on the table and sling his hook now. At this stage he's damaging any prospects of ever getting another job in football management. Also there's the small matter of Shamrock Rovers' season imploding.

super_furry

Back to back League champions, European Group stages and this clown undoes everything in the space of a few months.

I know there'll be all this 'well done agent Kenny' stuff, but honestly if he had set out to deliberately sabotage this team, he couldn't have done a better job.

ShamoBuc

Spotter and 4mins left

super_furry

**** it, if Man City can do it so can we.

C'mon the Hoops!!!!

Stevecw

Got it, but way too late

super_furry

Jesus Christ. Sives

bohsboy

Jesus, that was disappointing. Not a care in the world for half the players. That's Kenny gone for sure. Fans travelling all that way should see a team that plays like it cares, whoever the manager.

Oh yeah...missions accomplished Agent Kenny, many thanks.

Francie Barrett

What a shambles, a lot of the Rovers players looked like they couldn't give a fiddlers. Centre backs looked like this was the first time they ever played together and Oman was lucky not to get sent off. McCabe didn't look remotely arsed about winning the ball or even trying to pass straight. Jansson's confidence looks completely shot, definitely should have saved the first and really should have saved the second.

super_furry

****ing Setanta "Rovers will have to settle for the Europa League."

kitakyushu

What was the Shamrock Rovers sub having a go about just there to the Ekranus guy (the one who went thru the railings to his fans)?

Oat23

Did Brennan really take two shots from 40 yards in a minute?

How does this guy still get a game.

Still no European goals for oul Twiggy.

In fairness, the service he got was useless.

Commentators on Setanta said Rovers go into the Europa League...Thought that only happened if they lose in the 3rd Qualifying Round...not the 2nd Round

No, he's wrong: they're out.

Winding back the years, Kennys masterstroke for the FAI Cup final v Dundalk is to start Morrison and Harkin on the opposite wing to where they usually played.

Getting humiliated in Europe was the end of him and that spoofer Hawkins at the time as well. It's not even Agent Kenny it's that we knew he was an awful manager. But there will always be a job for him in Derry so can't see him leaving his nice little contract anytime soon.

Not from what I've heard about him there won't.

Punished for chances missed in 1st leg.

Oat23

The flight home will be great craic with the fans and team sharing a plane.

I'm a Derry fan and to be honest I get the feeling that most DCFC fans would take Kenny back no matter how often he leaves us.

If he comes back again, I ain't renewing my season ticket.

BOHtox

Kenny can't put a foot wrong...
