Shams v Rubin

Are Rubin not a big price @ 4/7? I doubt i will be playing on the game and genuinely hope Rovers do well but i thought they look a big price.
However after seeing some of the results the last 2 nights i suppose anything could happen

i think if you're working it from the point of a horse race ...its rovers coming into the gns having won a listed race and rubin having won a group 2 ..so 4/7 looks massive to me ..but sometimes those listed races bring up a unexposed one.....

4/7 away from home in a country that they have never played in before is a dreadful price.  shams are starting to show signs of fatigue of late, but rubin are a depressing team to watch and i believe that under 2.5 @ 1.8 is a safer bet.  maybe 0-1, but good luck shams and do us proud please.

thanks newmanix but i feel you do rubin a diservice ..dont forget they BEAT BARCELONA AWAY FROM HOME ......NOW I KNOW ROVERS ARE A GREAT TEAM BUT EVEN I KNOW BARCA ARE SLIGHTY THE BETTER SIDE....

i have watched the a good bit lately and they are sh1te, like the donegal footballers.

The void; and a nuisance

AND ANOTHER EVENING'S EXCITEMENT BROUGHT TO YOU BY UEFA

Big Vase group stages kick off tonight with a half-dozen clubs from around the British and Irish Isles participating with varying degrees of enthusiasm. It'll probably be a bit like the way this Fiver story about Big Vase group stages kicking off has kicked off, with a half-dozen readers from around the British and Irish Isles reading it with varying degrees of enthusiasm. For those of you who haven't scrolled down to the Blue Square advert, those teams profiled ...

Tottenham Hotspur: a Big Cup team in all but ability, their manager 'Arry Redknapp has described this European competition as "a nuisance" as it distracts from the more important job of falling just short of qualifying for a different European competition only to end up in this one again next season.

Birmingham City: as a Championship side scrapping to regain their Premier League status, Big Vase matches against Braga are distractions Birmingham could probably also do without. Manager Chris Hughton has said it "can be a hindrance", but was at least gracious enough to add the caveat that "if you looked at the atmosphere and what the players gave in the [qualifying] game with Nacional, I don't think you would have seen it as a hindrance". Translation: why couldn't the lazy sods put in that kind of shift against Derby County, Middlesbrough and Watford?

Stoke City: taking on Dynamo Kyiv, the Potters are that rare beast: an English side who seem genuinely pleased to be playing in Europe, although that didn't stop Tony Pulis doing his damnedest to provoke a diplomatic incident in his pre-match press conference. "Is the Ukraine in Europe?" he asked, of the second largest contiguous country on the continent. We'd call him a Little Englander, but the Welshman would probably bristle at such a slur.

Fulham: despite their best attempts to kick and harangue their way down the Fair Play league towards the back end of last season, Fulham ended up in Big Vase and appear to have decided to make the best of a bad fist of it. They've played eight matches in this year's tournament already and will have to play 15 more to win it. Except they won't win it, somebody else will, which kind of makes you ponder the futility of it all.

Shamrock Rovers: they play in green and white hoops, enjoy huge support from Dublin's unemployed, tattooed, cider-drinking underclass and have fought tooth and nail to make it this far in the competition. We wish them well. 

The Queen's Celtic: they play in green and white hoops, enjoy huge support from Dublin's unemployed, tattooed, cider-drinking underclass and have fought tooth and nail to make it this far in the competition. We wish them well.

shouldn't this be 1.3  -v- 10... what do I know?

can't believe there are quite a few empty seats, maybe some of the fans are just running late

Ya Premier stunned at that myself.

just flicked over when i seen it had started..amazed to see empty seats and loads of them..i thought it was a sell out?sad really

well done the Rovers keeper, saves the penalty (even if it was a shocker) and then is quick off his line to deal with that through ball

Done very well, great reactions to get back up again.

silly me, thought 4/7 was too big, i should of bet

4/7

the word on the street is that rovers are pulling out of the competition through sheer embarrassment. will they score a goal in the 6 games? a categorical NO is the answer...

Why are they using the tune of the scottish national anthem?

Where the fook is your support............!?
Back in your box Rovers.

Rubin Kazan are a good side and fair play to Shamrock Rovers they tried hard.......Some amount of empty seats.

Were the fans priced out, How much were the tickets been sold for? The stadium was empty

wasnt there talks of bringing them games to the aviva?that would have been a disaster...i feel sorry for them after all their efforts..if it was a friendly with a mid tier premiership team it would be packed out..sad really the soccer going dublin fans...what was ther?3000?maybe 3500?..i wont rub it into the genuine kentucky fried chicken league fans but its sad...

Barca4Ever 15 Sep 11 20:37   

...... The stadium was empty


No change there then!

the seats behind the goal were the only ones empty ...that was to be expected rubin not exactly barcelona   ....my seat and a couple of hundred 200 to be exact were taken over by the media ..its a fifa directive.....as for giants question were the fook is your support ...
we had more at that game than you'd get for 5 home games.ffs.........
i think we showed them  to much respect...consceeded early as usual ....both halves...first goal schoolboy error ....their class came through when they went 2 up..i thought we showed tremendous fighting spirit and never gave up even at 3 down....we deserved at least a consolation goal....
still its upwards and onwords....

At the end of the day Rovers will bag a nice few quid for the 5 group games.....In soccer the more money you have the better your team will be......Money talks.

When you watch it on telly Workrider you will clearly see  the empty seats........maybe you boys put on a good spread for the media and they never came out to their seats.

Honestly i thought it would have been ala Shels v Deportivo even if it was held in Aviva, so very surprised with the empty seats in Tallaght.

Gant that's true but true in all professional sports unless their is some sort of salary cap in place i.e. NFL

There was plenty of seats empty in the stand across from where the camera was wrokrider, i was really surprised and said perhaps it was people getting there late but they didn't fill.

I thought ye did ok in the game, they obviously have better technique, more experience and are a better side but ye where not disgraced and could of got a goal in the latter part of the game.

Today FM had the match kicking off at 7.

thats were i sit premier ...in those empty seats ......we were told last week in a newsletter that they were needed by the  media..and there was nothing we could do about it ..i had a look at half time myself and saw most of them were empty.....what a shame ...as you said we were worth a goal at least ....

workrider ...... me and Giant will turn up to the next one and keep you company

oh no you wont , stick with that sinking ship of yours....

You know though that game should have sold out today, it really goes to show you just how "Sports mad" the Irish public is. The likes of people who says they would love to watch a LOI team live had a perfect chance to today !!!!

Too damn right I wont!
I knew you would bounce it back on me but this has nothing to do with Bohs.
You`re always banging on about the great crowds you muster out there. Tonight you had the chance to prove it. EPIC FAIL. 
I`d be surprised if we didn`t get more into our Salzburg game 2 years ago than you did tonight. Pathetic.

Evening Giant

[;)] sof

we had 6,000 at least in tonight ...how many ye get for a home game ...1,200 at most ...we get 5 ,500 5,000 .most games ..now i'd say thats something ....

Yawn

most people at bohs games do giant.....

I would suggest a lot of your problems stem from the fact that your football is sh i te. Why pay in? You can watch pub players lashin` it any given Sunday down their local park.

of course you're right mate ....didn't see mccabes goal i'd say ...i'll take you through it shall i ...keeper lashed it out it landed right in front of him 2yds out he smashed it into the net from there......ffs giant take the blinkers off....

Goodnight wr.

galway utd will win a game soon, we have taken the lead in 2 games recently.  bohs and shams fans----ye have it good.

i was talking to a rovers fan at the pats game on monday newmanix ..we both hoped sligo stay up...if ye keep scoring you'll eventually win one ...all the best mate....

ffs ment galway.....

Ah ha WR Obsessed

To be fair i think it would be a blessing in disguise if Galway Utd went down Newmanix, good chance to rebuild, hard to do so in the premier or at least harder.

Big crowd there tonight wonky,about 1500 looking at the tv pictures,its a shame the media didnt take up their 4500 allocation.Yet more shame heaped on our nation,Rovers have made us a laughing stock yet again

suprised to see that the stadium wasnt full tonight , i hope that when it comes to the spurs match that anyone that attended tonight is guaranteed a ticket , workrider , no sarcasm or bull**** was i naive to think it would be a sell out tonight ?

Yeah was suprised to see how many empty seats there was.I know at the Setanta cup final Dundalk thought they had sold most of their allocation but there were still plenty of empty seats seems to be a lot of seats put aside for media,security etc thats not needed considering as far as i seen you can sit wherever you want.
As stated above i hope the club ensure every person there tonight gets tickets for the spurs match before all the bar-stoolers jump on board.

Jeez lads get the heads out've the arses! The empty seats behind the goals were Spurs fans who bought the 3 game ticket but who didn't intend on going to the other two games. We don't care of course as the money's in the bank[;)] Gonna be funny to see the faces sitting in an open stand in Tallaght in December

It`ll be even funnier when fights break out in the stand.

And the way this Europa league is going,they will have no choice but to fight each other again.Ye neednt have any worries about tickets for the spurs match,people can see them every weekend on tv,and if they want to see them live then London is only an hour away,so why would any neutral want to see them against this useless mob.There will be about 1500 at that match too,unless the governors in Mountjoy and Portlaois give compassionate leave to the main Rovers fan base and leave out a blast of them to attend the game.

tobywong ..mjk answered part of your question re  spurs and the seats behind the goal...the place was full last night except were i usually sit which was taken by the media .... haven't seen the pictures off the telly but i'm sure it looked as if there was plenty of empty seats ..i can assure you it wasen't because we gave them up voluntary....fifa have a directive about the media having ex amount of spaces for visiting jurnos....sadly for me and a couple of hundred others it was our seats they took....rubin not exactly world beaters , and the fans felt they made little appeal ....still we were very happy with the crowd on the night...plus t.v. rights , etc...

Dont be trying to cod us wonky,there was nobody at it,what are you trying to do here?,take the eyes out of our head.Everybody saw that yhere was nobody there,the place was half full.They should have had it in the Aviva,that way everybody that was there last night could have fitted into the bar.

I went down, enjoyed it and Rovers can be proud of themselves. But don't kid yourself it was never a sell out far from it.

i dont like commenting on any of your posts butcherboy because your a sad little kerry gobshyte ...but here goes ...all ye kerry thicko's are good for is keeping cows and running hotels ..nither of which requires a lot of intelligence ...when ye come up to the BIG CITY ...we have to stop ourselves laughing at ye gombeens with your stupid accents ...we find it entertaining , trying to work out how to explain to ye what a moving stairway is ,.....lifts well thats another matter ....what really makes us laugh though is when ye kerry lads go into a mcdonalds and order soup and a sambo......

off for a shower and a few hours sleep before heading off to spain for a week ..thank god i dont have to listen to kerry gobshytes for the weekend....

..workrider mate i like you but you are not coming across in a good light here.....just because you are more than likely dissappointed that it was not a sell out does not mean you have to act up.....it was blatantly obvious to anyone watching on tv that there where plenty of empty seats..there was one big block in the stand to the right of centre when looking at it with hardly anybody there..then the rest of the stand had empty seats scattered around..you rovers fans may not like to admit it but it is the truth and everyone watching on the tele could see it clearly.....it is sad as it was one of your biggest nights ever and the place should of been packed to the rafters..

..i think you rovers fans should just accept that it was a bit of a poor turnout..however your team has done great to get this far and did well again last night against a very good team..

im from kerry workrider and was cheering for rovers last night. have seen rovers play severl times too so please leave out all the nasty kerryman stuff because one idiot is posting. remember where billy dennehy is from?

You always know when a Dub is struggling........he plays the culchie card.
The lads with the funny accents did well for Rovers last night.

:D

Yes Thompson done well Gant :)

MJK......I know you normally wear blinkers but when you watch it again on the tv you will clearly see the empty seats in front of you.
It will be funny to see people in the stand in December but Spurs fans will be used to going to matches this time of the year.

Sorry Rocketfingers my mistake..........I reckoned there was more than 1 player from outside the pale playing for Rovers last night.

OH there was Thompson is from Jamaica, Billy Denehey is Kerry, O'Donnell is from Galway, McCormack up around the Dooley peninsula Turner who is an absolute Thug is from near Coleraine, Rickets is English, Twigg is Scotish and Brush who was out the bench from Birmingham.

And Sives......He was a fine rugby player in Scotland as a young lad by all accounts.

You always know a jackeen is right,the boys from the Tallaght brigade really showing their true colours now

Certainly want to be taking any posts on here by Rovers supporters with a serious dose of salt. They'd have you believe tallaght stadium is packed every other week with a rocking athmosphere, yet any time you see it on telly the place is half empty with a muted crowd.

Ffs the biggest match in their history last night, in their own ground after fighting hard to get it there and the place looked only two thirds full. Empty seats everywhere workrider, get your head out of the sand.

welcome back wayside ..been licking your wounds no doubt .....

listoweldude apols mate , its just that clown does my head in...i know some cracking people from kerry ....all this shyte about the ground not been full coming from the you know who brigade ...how often is croker full when dublin ain't playing ffs....the spurs game will fill it up......its not about the size of the crowd its about a         PART TIME TEAM FROM THE LOI GETTING INTO THE GROUP STAGES OF A EUROPEAN COMP...... boy is that some achivement.....

Don't let them get to you WR must GAA players can only dream about playing in front of crowds of 6k. If people in Dublin don't want to come out and support the hoops will then nothing we can do about it but still great work Shamrock Rovers getting there.

true rocket , its a long time since i let the mince pie get to me ..but today was the day... did you notice wayside ..when he thought he had them all on his side he lifted his head above ground again....

..what is your problem with this workrider?.....all that is being said is the stadium was not full..actually nowhere near full..it was a poor turnout for the game that was in it.....only yourself and mjk disagree and seem to think there was more there than there was..we all saw plenty of empty seats on the tv..

..everybody is in agreement that it was a great achievment for rovers to get this far..i don't think anybody is slagging them off for getting beat last night..the main thing mentioned was the crowd size and empty seats.....there was no need to turn this into a soccer v gaa debate..it seems that's what you soccer fans do when you are caught out by simple facts..

6920 (only figure available) is a great crowd to get for a LOI team and Rovers bagged a nice wedge of dosh.......Job done.
The boys giving you a hard team about the crowd wish their club was in the same position last night........most of them are broke.........Out of curiosity what players do Rovers pay a fulltime wage to.

Up the hoops & Wd, & thats comiong from a nordy.[;)]

I see you`re still playing this part-time bull s h i t card wr. WALOFS

Giant

They pay 42 week contracts Gant but as far as i know they can spread that out over 52 weeks. But the players are just on 42 week contracts which means technically they are part-time players full time players must be on 52 week contracts to be called professional players. They pay pretty decent wages from what i hear but nothing like the madness Drogheda and then the utter insanity of what Cork were paying a few years ago but Shamrock Rovers would be the top payers in the league. 6,900 is still a very decent crowd as Gant says but he is probably looking from a GAA club's perspective.

not to sure gant tbh , my lad would know but he's in work atm...thats a fine crowd and for those on here to say the place was empty is an untruth...the capacity for last nights tie was 8,000...as jmk pointed out the spurs fans will take up those seats...thanks for the good wishes gant ...at least you enjoy your sport ....

thanks deplasterer ..very kind of you....

In fairness wr, I do find MJKs excuse for all the empty seats as perfectly plausible.
However it doesn`t hide the fact that it looked awful. I was genuinely shocked. 7000 my ar se.

Workrider, what the hell are you talking about, below ground "licking my wounds". We're not all dole spongers like you that can spend all day posting on here. God help you, it is some fantasy world that you live in.
The whole occasion was a let down last night, any fair minded person could see that.

Some of you lads would want to get a life ffs. Who cares what you think anyway as those of you who continually criticise have no interest in the league so your opinions mean nothing. Even if I was to ask you to look at the front of the East Stand and see people standing 4 deep instead of sitting(against H+S and all that I know)and those who went to the East stand with West tickets it would make no difference so there you go. At least it's the weekend so you can all get back to watching your teams on the tele.

..i think it is you mjk that needs to get a life and in the real world.....just because you are unhappy it was not a full house it is not our fault and it does not make us wrong for pointing that out..

Attendance, circa 7,000 it's a good attendance but the whole Spurs fans have bought a 1,000 3 game tickets just doesn't wash as 3 game tickets were freely available yesterday. I snapped two up.

Sure is the capacity not going to be risen again for the Spurs and PAOK games with another Temp stand and how many will it hold.

Shaneboy where did I say I was unhappy? I'm absolutely delighted with where we are as a club. Never thought I'd see the day I'd go home with a big smile on my face after losing 3-0.  Unfortunately it's got up a lot of people's noses(yourself included) the attention the club has been getting and all you can do is criticise. Life is great being a Hoop

..read my posts you blinkered idiot..i have on numerous occasions said what a great achievment it was for rovers..even on this thread i have said it..but you like to twist the truth..all i said was that it was dissappointing that you did not fill the stadium but then rovers fans argued that..the stadium should of been packed to the rafters last night..it was not and your excuses are just total bullsh*t..


..again WELL DONE TO SHAMROCK ROVERS..IT IS A GREAT ACHIEVMENT FOR THEM TO BE IN THE GROUP STAGE AND THEY HAVE DONE THE LEAGUE PROUD..

..now make sure you read the whole post and don't come back posting the only part you have decided to selectivly remember..

Bore off Shaneboy

..retardfingers you where the first one who agreed with reimerpysatnaf so put a pipe in it you dole scrounging..pot noodle eating..tesco cider drinking..fantasist loser..

Very busy tonight don't have long to speak with Asian lines live mate. But yes i remarked on it but unlike you i did not go on and on about it. Now back to Trading, then out to meet some girls and drink some cocktails or fine wine.

..trading asian lines = wanking over asian porn..out to meet some girls and drink some cocktails = off out on your piebald around tallaght with your flaggin off tesco cider looking for some little scruffy tramp who may take pity on you..

Shaneboy if you want to think the support was bad at the match yesterday who am i tell you otherwise. All i am saying is you made your point. Got to go just made another packet, me and the guys will be drinking Champers tonight.

as it has been said i was in the east stand and it was over crowded with alot of people from the south stand in the east stand,and giant you might laugh and slag us but whens the last time bohs have got 3000 in that dump dalyer,oh and we will clear over 1 million from europe this year,imagine if happened to bohs,the 910 thousand that you lost last year would be cleared from your last years bad run financialy.

You coming down to get a spanking Monday mate????

..retardfingers the forum LIAR telling more LIES tonight.....i thought you where very busy tonight?..make your money and then head out to meet some girls and drink cocktails or fine wine?....as i said sitting in your bedroom drinking your flaggin of tesco cider..LOSER..

Decided to entertain in my pad tonight, great night Ching ching, you should try to win now and again, maybe if you speak nicely to me for the next month i will throw you some scraps from my table. You can start of by apologising to me !

ye going down monday think we will play a full team,very hard game to call,should be a full house.think we are better away from home so hoping for a win,

cant wait huddys - game of golf at 2.00 in strandhill followed by a bit of food and pints if you mjk or wr are interested - on the house - would like to invite shaneboy but he is a bit irrational. And i dont think rocket plays golf

As you know i don't play it just bet your tips SR :) , WR off to Spain btw. Yap gathered that huddy's, i think the one thing you won't want is a replay if there is one it will be on the Wednesday.

thanks for the invite sligored but going on a bus a few cans on the way down so dont think id be in a good state for a round of golf,and seen as tho workrider away he dosent need me to caddie for him,ye rocket replay will be wednesday,see alan kelly the ref

I'll be there myself but unlike Huddys I hope we put out a weakened side.

Thanks Sligored but I'll be lucky to make ko time as it is!
