[Powis]

Davy, how do you think Shamrock will score at least a one goal against Juve? I know it is very very hard, but maybe..?

Maher and U2 take on Juventus?



I don't like our odds.

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SENSE

Irish players are indeed underrated, not sufficiently enough to mean the Shams have any sniff of a chance in going through.

From their official site:

Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of Shamrock Rovers FC, the FAI and South Dublin County Council, the club did not receive a derogation from UEFA to install temporary seatings at Tallaght Stadium for this Thursday's match against Juventus.

This means that it is highly unlikely that there will be any general sale of match tickets as the 6,000 capacity is being allocated to club season ticket holders and members first. The club has launched a special 'End of Season Ticket' offer that includes one ticket for the Juventus match. This offer is limited to availability and has been selling well since it became available this morning. All details below.

I would love to know why anyone would think we are going to win by double figures. Judging by our recent past outings our creative side isn't exactly showing.

You have a Juventus side that can barely string a few ideas together against a team, although not on the same technical level, but mid season, FIT, top of the league and have proved they have heart to battle it out.

I'm definitely not saying the rovers will win, but take your head out of the clouds for a second, be realistic, Juve will win over the two legs but its going to be tough. Shamrock will try kick the legs of us. And imho, irish players are underrated, they have nothing but heart. Its the biggest game of there careers and im pretty sure they will put in a good performance but Juve are going to win none the less, certainly not 10-nil though.

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SENSE

Just one question for you Shamroch fans, sorry if I quoted only 2 of you if there is more, which Juve player you consider the greatest threat to your team?

Brady is with the B panel eh?

Just be prepared for how little he knows about modern Juve and our players, with perhaps some Marchisio slating.

 

[X Æ A-12]

I could see Rovers putting up a real fight in front of their own fans and keeping the scoreline narrow but they will get steamrolled in Modena.

 

[adriano_c]

Double digit score over two legs?

No chance.

 

[Red]

Folk shouldn't underestimate the importance of the fact that Shamrock are in the middle of their season, whereas Juve will inevitably be very short of match sharpness.

 

[Nicholas]

Into their season or not Juventus should be knocking 4-5 past them easily.

 

[Red]

It's likely to make a couple of goals difference at least over the two games, though.

Juve should still win comfortably.

 

[Nicholas]

Would you rest certain players Red, or would you play the strongest team?

 

[Red]

Strongest team for the first game.

And at this stage, strongest team may mean those in the best condition, rather than the best players.

 

[Klin]

It would be really dumb not playing the best 11, at least in the first leg.
