Negativity is the new Positivity.
Great penalty
Didn't RTE sign some deal saying if an Irish team made it to the groups they'd show all the matches? Or was it only for Champions League ?
Men against boys
Extra words : I hate twigg as much as Ollie Byrne
in fairness rovers definitely deserve a goal.been all over rubin in the last few mins.
We are the red army
I wish somebody would tell Pat Dolan loosing 3-0 is not progess :/
That lad waved that russian flag all game.
And 2 of them sang for most of it. about 1000 off capacity, east stand was packed.Rubin are a quality side, had about 4 more gears t go up. Their passing was unreal to watch. movement, runs, passing ahowed just how far off irish soccer is...
rovers played from russia with love, raputin, and back in ussr at half time
DeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeLIGHTED!!!
Supersaints - Still the only Irish club to beat the Russians
Christy Fagan - He scores big goals
It's pretty depressing that the highest level an Irish team has reached in the modern era could not sell out tallaght stadium.
how much were the tickets?
Being on tele wouldn't help their crowd either. Delighted it was on tele though, lots of fun to watch.
Lads has Glenn Fitzpatrick scored in Europe at all in his "career" , bit off topic I know but just wanna see because well Twigg still hasn't scored in Europe hahah
WATRA
Defo scored for Shels against that French team in Lansdowne. Almost certain it was twice
I hate to see a LOI club lose in Europe, but in this case I'll make an exception
They were well outclassed. Maybe worth a goal, but that was it. It they had any decent support, Tallaght (that ground they rent) would have been sold out. But it wasn't.
lads dont be foolish the attendences was close to 7k we only got about 1/3 of that in tallaght v karpathy , if we had of gone the next step im not sure we could have brought in any more ,
Rovers did themselves no favours my talking about filling the aviva and all , it was a poor turnout but price time and opposition played its part
Dident look like 7K to me, closer to 5K maybe, lots of empty seats.

That wasn't the case at all because you weren't allowed access to any other stand bar the one named on your ticket. There was fences put up with stewards standing at them.
I think, more than likely, what it was was a lot of people bought into the 3 game package for 70 Euro with the sole intention of just going to the Spurs game and where quite happy to go and see ' the mighty Spurs ' for 70 quid as opposed to 200 quid in London. There was a lot of tickets left un-sold tonight as well. Still wouldn't class it as a poor turnout. At least 7k there.
On the match, not too surprised. Rubin are a far far superior team and we are in unchartered waters playing way out of our depth. We didn't even play poorly just Rubin, due to there class, never had to get out of first gear and were comfortable. We don't help ourselves though conceding stupid early goals ( Juventus at home, Partizan at home, Rubin at home ).
Of all the point made re the turnout the 2 most likely imo are
1. People bought the 3 game soley to attend the Spurs game
2. Fans of other LOI club didn't go because of Rovers being arseholes
7k isn't a great turn out for the first group game even at 6pm. I'm not having a go at the Home team but so called soccer fans fromthis country in general.
When we played a far far superior Russian team we won.....you should sign Jeff Kenna to replace MON- he is obviously a better manager!
Loved the fact you lost, atmosphere seemed so deflated on TV and speaking to Rovers fans it was a huge anit climax to see so many empty seats and to be so thoroughly outclassed.
Here's hoping that one you get a hamemring next week you are counting down the weeks until your out of europe. Its a long 6 games when your being hockeyed every week.
Not saying I wouldnt like the same problem though!
It was 5pm in the RDS, and less than 4,000

Hmm, not sure about that. Rubin Kazan won the Russian premier league in 2009 and finished third last year. Krylya finished tenth that year. Funnily enough these two are local derby opponents
