FAI are appealing UEFA's decision to play Andorra v Ireland in Andorra. Both FAI and Andorra want it in Barcelona

Rovers, Tottenham, Rubin, PAOK


how tough is that group for them

Spurs, that's the tie they would have wanted. Probably change that one to the Aviva. Great draw for them!

5/6 3 points or less looks a great price now

Damian Richardson just said on the News at One "3 great sides and one very good side in that (Rovers) group ".

I think he might be angling for a job with Sky Sports.

Anyone actually offerin that bet pf?

no that was just me speculating last night !

Said id ask just incase - would be 1/10 now [:p]

tough group allright, still could nick a point at home to paok or kazan

Spurs aren't that fecking great for gawd sake, they're not even it the top 5 of British teams....Shame it wasn't last year. Shamrock Rovers playing in the final at the Aviva

i like it anaglogs....

Rovers did very well to make it.....even if that Partizan side where absolutely rubbish.....that don't matter though as it was a great achievement from them.....however they will be lucky to get a win in that group.....paok at home will be there only chance at points imo.....either way there fans should enjoy it

My predictions.....

Rovers 0-4 Tottenham
Tottenham 8-0 Rovers
Rovers 0-3 Ruben
Ruben 6-0 Rovers
Rovers 1-2 Paok
Paok 3-0 Rovers

Good stuff Shaneboy, enjoy the Methadone with those lemons. I'm off to see real dogs racing, later you'll be seeing them crawling up your bedroom wall.

I've word for a dog in the 2nd but you will hardly make it for the first few races.

thanks for the kind words btw gantoo ....

TOTTENHAM are 10-1 joint-favourites to win theEuropa League after being paired with surprise package Shamrock Rovers in the group-stage draw in Monaco.

Spurs, who are also in a section alongside Russian outfit Rubin Kazan and Greek team PAOK, are expected to hammer Shamrock in their double header.

Victor Chandler rate Harry Redknapp's team 8-11 to score seven or more goals against the Irish minnows.

Hills are best at 10-1 for Spurs to go all the way, while moneybags Paris St-Germain are the same price with Stan James after they were drawn in Group F alongside Athletic Bilbao, Salzburg and Slovan Bratislava.

Fulham, who must do battle with FC Twente, Odense and Wisla Krakow, are 33-1 to win the Europa League andStoke are available at 50-1 with Paddy Power following their tough-looking draw with Dynamo Kiev, Besiktas and Maccabi Tel-Aviv.

Championship club Birmingham face Braga, Club Brugge, and Maribor and are 100-1 with Victor Chandler,while Shamrock are the rank outsiders at a whopping 1,000-1 with the same firm.

No bother Workrider super performance by your lads last night and I hope you go well in the group stages.......Poor old Rocketfingers is trying to dig up the usual auld chestnut but I aint biting..........Shamrock Rovers should get centre stage on the forum for a few days.

hopefully for the right reasons gant...cant see us getting to much out of a coupe of those teams but we might surprise a few before its over ....

All you can do is give it a rattle and pull in as much money for the club as you can.

i suppose thats one way of looking at it ... but moneys not everything  gant...the belief in the club since we won the league has been remarkable ..we now feel its our right to win things...that confidence that all great teams have ..we now have it...as regards us buying other clubs players,it will depend how many of our squad we lose to other teams...its always been the way of things in football ..the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker ..its so long ago that bohs and pats were buying players left right and centre..it goes with the territory....

Money talks at the end of the day.

true and without money ..no club...

I'm going to be like Jim Bowen here,  just gimmie a sec i cant C & P it so i'll have to type it..It's a Shamrock Rovers "Heres what you could have won"

Imagine if Rovers won it they would be able to buy Loinel Messi. . .  .Sorry i meant Loinel Blair

All i can say is WOW http://bit.ly/nGYw7W

you want to have seen the reaction in the hotel ....magic ...my son gave a  insight into what it ment to us rovers fans when he was on the news just a minute ago....

The only good thing to come out of this is the fact that Rovers will be constantly referred to as Irish MINNOWS for the next few months!

and BOHS wont even be spoken about ...BUNCH OF AMATEURS I'M HEARING.....

Not much of a league of Ireland fan, but looking at that draw Rovers are going to get some hammerings, the Greeks have an entrenched mindset and will probably come to Dublin to defend, but if they put a bit of thought to it, they're only playing Shamrock Rovers and if they attack they'll win comfortably and then thrash them at home.

Good thing for a club financial point of view but as a supporter it will be pure torture.

Yeah, I'm dreading this feckin Europa League alright. Can't believe our players tried so hard  and are gonna put us through the ringer again [smiley:crazy]

MINNOWS

nobody will REMEMBER bohs in a few years ....REMEMBER THOSE WELSH MINNOWS GIANT......

UEFA will give a decision tomorrow on whether Shamrock Rovers can play any of their Europa home games at Tallaght

Fairly certain we have to play all three games in the same ground. The decision is what ground that is.
