[Archived] Uefa Cup First Round Draw

[Presty On Tour]

Pedersen prefers UEFA Cup glory to Champions League

not to sound greedy but wouldn't it be well tidy if we got into the top 4 and won the uefa cup this season

sevilla who have won the uefa cup the past 2 seasons are playing their first champions league game in their history tonight.

Our friend Mr 'Gamst' just needs to concentrate in playing to the best of his ability....consistently

[Daremz]

Larissa 1 - Rovers 1

Probably a horror-match. Atmosphere can be good though.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

2-1 Rovers...and a flare or three!

[Presty On Tour]

ooijer will come in for samba

tugay will come into a midfield berth

other than that i can see no other changes to the line up unless hughes wants to rotate our strikers.

the only info i have on larrissa is they won the greek cup last season and they are managed by rovers very own former experess train george donis!

with them only playing 1 game so far this season, it really should be a walk in the park for us!!!!!

[ABBEY]

I REALLY REALLY REALLY WISH YOU HADNT SAID THAT OUT LOUD

[LARISSAFC]

For us it may be a run in the forest with our eyes shut, but the game is football.

We just may be lucky, don't crash to any tree and come out of the forest in one piece!!!!!!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

How big is the crowd expected to be tomorrow LARISSAFC.....is this seen as a very big game / occasion for your club and has there been much publicity in Greece?

I thought all your forests had burnt down ...... :ph34r:

Last time we saw our team playing in an international competition (excluding Intertoto cup) was 19 years ago. So yes it's a big game for us. However the predictions talk about only 10-12.000 spectators and not a full house (16.000) which is very dissapointing.

I thought all your forests had burnt down ......

You 're right. So it could be just a walk in a burnt forest for us!!!!!

[Oakland]

My team tonight:

             friedel

Emerton  Ooijer  Nelsen  Warnock

Bentley  Mokoena  Dunn  Pedersen

          Benni  Santa

Sub: Enks, Khisi, Savage, Derbs, Tugay, Roberts, Rigters

'

1-2

Benni & Derbs

[den]

Groobs reports just the one change [but doesn't sat what it is!] - so I assume it's the same team that drew with Chelsea, except for Ooijer replacing Samba?

[Oakland]

ROVERS: Friedel, Emerton, Ooijer, Nelsen, Warnock, Bentley, Dunn, Savage, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, McCarthy. Subs: Brown, Khizanishvili, Tugay, Mokoena, Derbyshire, Olsson, Roberts.

No Rigters?

GO ROVERS!

[Blueboy Downunder]

i am positive we can get the right result, but at the same time we have to show respect to them. i would be happy with a score draw, but obviously a win would be awesome.

speaking rigters...where has he gone?? we have seen virtually nothing of him since we got him.

[USRoverME]

Umm, Rigters is very young, and our 5th striker.... how often do you expect to see him in a 1st team game? I hope we never seen him, actually... Because that will mean that Santa, Benni, Derbs and Roberts, are all working hard, unhurt and playing well enough....

[Sparky Marky]

I saw Rigters in the reserves a couple of weeks back against wigan...he's a lazy player he is...the reserve physio kept shouting at him to work harder.....lazy boy....!!!!

I didn't realise George Donis plays for Larissa....

Still Playing????

[cn174]

anyone know how things are going? We have discussions about Northern Rock on one radio station and Ian Wright going on about Chelsea on the other

OK, we've had a few chances but so have they.

[modes98]

By all accounts unlucky not to have a penalty, playing ok so far. The rovers world commentary is appalling quality and i have a jumpy greek tv channel lol! Great combination.

[ABBEY]

cant believe listenig to the greek commentators ..jabbering away and every so often the only english is MCARTHY OFFSIDE..HAHAHA MAKES ME CHUCKLE

[USRoverME]

Eurosports text updates make it sound like we are taking control now, but nothing really to show, a few chances, but the so called benalty, Eurosport says it hit the defender's nose not his arm/hand.

Apparently the pitch is also horrible

[brfc fan]

Ohh Benni nearly scored!

[USRoverME]

we are apparently hitting all out free kicks into the wall again...
