Guest Smug Bluenose Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think that stat says it all. These so-called "minnows" are far more ruthless than we are. It was the same over there, by the way. How many clear cut chances did they create at home against us ? Maybe 4 or 5 tops ? Yet they got 2 goals. We have nobody to blame but ourselves. Edu, Lafferty, Healy, Jelavic, Broadfoot - all sitters. We should have won that game out of sight last night. Ho hum, we move on.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovanAllan 0 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 In a nutshell got nothing to do with this or that, we made enough chances didn't take them end of story. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 But also we didn't play particularly well. We looked technically inept, as we have done for some time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 why do you keep asking this I've asked it twice now and it's a valid question at present. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscottislegend 2,121 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've asked it twice now and it's a valid question at present.I'll answer it for you. YES. Shamrock Rovers made it to the group stages by beating Partizan Belgrade. We would have been over the moon if we had beaten a team of that pedigree. And as far as I know Shamrock don't have international players like EDU and Jelavic, so that must say something. Maybe the League of Ireland is more competitive than the SPL? Christ, what a thought. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've asked it twice now and it's a valid question at present. but there's another thread about it is there not? in reply i'd say no and we never will be, we're a middle of the road european team who sometimes do better and sometimes worse than expected. when we were doing well against the top teams would you say we were a top euro team? we were beat by lower ranked teams, it happens all the time in football but i would never call us a european minnow. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think that stat says it all. I don't think it does say it all. We had no more than maybe half a dozen really good chances last night not counting the goal. Anyway, that's being pedantic and we did indeed have the chances to win. I really do think we should have beaten Maribor both last week and last night, but the teams Ally put out just didn't do the business. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
