Not quite correct. We travelled over to England to play a Brentford select side between those two games.

Not really just general childish remarks dont help any argument. It just looks bad for the dunder posting it.


I mean are they supposedly "smart fans" if they support ONLY an Irish club? Unless Dunder asked everyone individually if they only support the foreign club how does he know they didn't happen to also support Bohs? A domestic team who would quite enjoy Rovers having seven shades of sh*te pummeled into them.

And he's the childish one?

Completely ignore the majority of the post that doesn't support your "argument".

"The former Dundalk, Derry City, Bohemians and Drogheda United striker Marc Griffin has agreed to join Glenavon on a one year deal with the option of a second year. "

Is he any good?

A bit concerned that he's 26 and already had 4 clubs.

Greg Moorhouse away on trial with Coventry, think there were a few people talking about him on this thread a few months ago.

Time to dust off the #GreatestLeagueInTheWorld tag. My mate was coming home from work and found a full scouting report on Rosenborg lying on the side of the bloody road. Unbelievable.

Sure they're all sideways. Nobody can read them.

Isn't the "currently playing for" bit especially redundant? Surely all in a scouting report would be playing for Rosenborg...

Might be something you 'buy' off an agency. You name the players you are interested in and they format the reports onto your club colours etc print them off and sell them. Thus if you wanted a report on say John Terry it would say current club Aston Villa. Just a theory but I can't see Dundalk having the resources to do an in-depth report on every Rosenburg player.

The resources would just be man power? Basically how much time Vinny Perth spends watching games. I think last year, his video analysis of opponents was hailed by people from within the club as one of the main reasons for the Dundalk success.

Perhaps. I got the impression reading a few of those that they were provided by an agency of some sort. I.e. Matches played, mins per match, red/yellow card, goals per match. I wouldn't have thought that Vinny was that thorough, I mean why would he bother with goals scored by the keeper? I think they were bought by the club.

Any Dundalk players or staff live near Lucan? Odd place to be found ( unless they were stolen from someone and dumped on side of road as useless)

C'Mon the Town.

Ok story time.

It was my friend who found the report. I sent the pics into the banter page. I subsequently commented on it and from there it kinda kicked off. Firstly, I had a mate from up in the North East of the country contact me asking me to get the photos taken down as a player from Dundalk had seen me comment on the post and saw myself and himself had a mutual friend i.e. my mate from the North East. I considered getting onto the group admin and asking for it to be taken down but before I did that, I scouted (haha) through my NE mates friends list and found a certain large centre back from Oriel Park was in his contacts. Then I thought back to last Wednesday when Bohs held Dundalk for 89 minutes but then the Town scored. That's fine except for the fact the Lilywhites players opted to give it large in front of our supporters instead of celebrating in front of their own, including Mr Large Centre Back. So fcuk him.

Anyway a Norwegian journo of all things picks up on all this sh*t and has written about it over their in their national papers!

http://www.nettavisen.no/sportspill/omtale/her-er-dundalks-hemmelige-rosenborg-notater/3423355975.html


Here's a translation of their piece

Wednesday, Rosenborg will host the Irish team Dundalk in the first match in the second qualifying round for the Champions League. The Trons must be said to be favorites before the two qualifying matches, but nobody will claim that the Irish are not preparing for the meeting with the Norwegian Serie Masters.

What is supposed to be a scout report on Rosenborg has leaked out on the internet. Found on a sidewalk in Dublin It is the Back Page Football website, which has posted on its Twitter page images of what will be the scout reports on Nicklas Bendtner and Andransen, where Dundalk goes through both the strengths and weaknesses of Rosenborg players. The reports are reportedly to be found on the sidewalk of Lucan, a suburb of Dublin.

Nicklas Bendtner's masterpieces are described, and the Danish is referred to as an assault weapon that Rosenborg plays on if they can not play backwards. "Striking towards the posterior post post. Targeted especially at posts and by shooting early with the right foot, "is some of the assessment Dundalk has done about Danish. - Bendtner is not working hard "They seem to play through him when they have the chance. If we can stop that opportunity, we take away a large part of their game and the offensive midfielder will not be as involved in the game, "concludes the conclusion. Bendtner's weaknesses are also mentioned: "Failing speed so the midstoppers can get close to him. Does not run in back room due to the role of the team. Does not work hard, so we can have the opportunity to build the game from behind. "

Good start Dundalk has also set up a profile on Andransen, where they promise his ability to start the game. "He launches a midfielder on a run if he finds an empty pocket or a back on his way forward. He also has the opportunity to send the ball directly to Bendtner, which he usually makes more in away matches. Quickly starts when the ball goes over the deadline, so it's important not to turn off at any time and get back quickly in positions, "writes Dundalk about Rosenborg's last chance. But also Hans Hansen has weaknesses that the Irish will exploit: "Is not convincing on posts, can go for posts that he should not go for. Undetermined when the ball is sent behind the back firmer. Make many good rescuers at times, but have made a few losses this season on shots that he should save easily. "

Dundalk welcomes Rosenborg to the Champions League qualifier Wednesday at 20.45. The match is obviously included in Nettavisen's LIVE system!

You'd do well to dent the confidence of Lord Bendtner. There's 14 players they have profiles on though. Only sent in two for the craic but I have the whole lot there. I'll be watching the game thinking ah that's why Chris Shields is doing that because me and him will both that know their number 6 can't turn on his right.

It's just hit German and Danish media now. Here's German outfit 11Freunde's article

Translation

When do you ever see the scouting report of a Champions League aspirant? Now, for an Irishman found the Dundalk FC in the road pit, just before the Quali game against Rosenborg Trondheim.

There are secrets about a special player. Sometimes it's just sh*t, as Peter Knl knows, and that also knows some poor soul at the Irish football club Dundalk FC. Peter Knl, not everyone will remember, was the man who once walked with his backpack in Hamburg, lost his backpack (he says: stolen) - and schwups, a few days later secret contracts, a list of wages and scouting- Reports in the Jenisch-Park in Hamburg. Visible to everyone.

The same thing happened in Dundalk - just before one of the most important games in the history of the club. On Wednesday evening, Dundalk FC will be in Rosenborg Trondheim from Norway in the second round of the Champions League qualifying. Never was an Irish club in the group stage of the Champions League. They want to change that in Dundalk and so they have prepared for this game. Conscientiously prepared. Scouting report in the road ditch For each opponent's opponent, a scout created a small overview that the coach handed over to the Dundalk pros in the last week's training session. These included, for example, the number of goals, the weight of the players, or the names of the consultants. Directly underneath, however - and there it is exciting - the Scout noted strengths and weaknesses of the opponents.

Dumb for Dundalk: An Irish Peter Knl lost the secret report 90 kilometers south in the village Lucan, the wind played a bit with it, then landed the part in the road trench. There was the operator of the Facebook page "Airtricity League Banter Page" and uploaded it - immediately slave to his time - at Facebook.

CHealy

Certainly doesn't do the leagues image any good, especially considering the top teams in this country actually have highly detailed and thorough scouting reports for whoever they play, I know Cork City hire a specific analyst and Id imagine Dundalk, Rovers and Derry do aswell.

Bad research is bad. The bag was stolen and charges were brought against the nurse who claimed to have 'found' it in a park. 11freunde should know better.

It says Knäbel lost his bag but he claims it was stolen. It's a claim that was proven when the woman who said she found it was arrested for stealing it.

They make it sound like his claim was never proven and he could be lying.

Dundalk 1 up, great start!

Totally deserved too, Dundalk looking very well at the moment.

Dundalk have ruined European qualifying it seems? Very little talk about any LOI teams this year. Are we all too good for the qualifiers now?

Terrible defending, a soft goal to concede.

Piss poor defending by dundalk. Rattled by the favt they didnt get a free the last few min. Need to sort it out

That was terrible

It's always silly mistakes that cost Dundalk in Europe. Not the first time Gartland has been at fault either.

Gartland again. Same as every European game last year.

Very poor goal to concede, seems like a typical goal a LoI team would concede in Europe. Having said that Dundalk looked the better team for a lot of the first half I think, the tie is up for grabs.

Not fair. Rogers was at fault for at least half them

Dropping off after you score deserved to be punished and it was. Rosenborg aren't up to much at all though.

The game is there for Dundalk if they stay positive.

Didn't think they dropped off at all. Thought they were really positive even after going 1 up. Just 1 silly mistake cost them.

Dundalk were by far the better side IMO.

Supporters really enjoying themselves calling Bendtner a wanker.

Dundalk have been terrible in this half. They seem to be happy with the 1-1.

Ferris_Bueller

A disappointing 1-1 draw. Shows how good this Dundalk team are that everyone is disappointed with a draw having been handed one of the tougher draws at this stage.

Dundalk go to Norway knowing they have to score which might suit them, based on tonight you would fancy them to score too.

Rosenborg certainly got numbers behind the ball tonight. Might be a bit more space next week.

Lyle Lanley

Sligo Rovers won away in Rosenberg a few years back. It's not an impossible task. Not easy either.

Pity to give away such an awful goal.
