    what's the reasoning for the groups, is it to keep costs down for the smaller clubs?

    Yes and I am surprised they have not done it with the Europa League, maybe they have and have just yet to publish it

    Some bloke called Ole Gunnar Solskjær is the Molde Manager!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,951 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    They've been struggling so badly this season, 2nd bottom after being bottom for ages. A few big scoring wins of late though. Sligo will be underdogs but still have a shout.

    True, I would like Sligo to cause the upset but Molde are the better team, very hard for some to stomach that it seems.

    Like a child, commenting about something he clearly knows nothing about in my book.

    I've seen enough of Molde to know they are better than Sligo Rovers, that seems very hard for you to take! :rolleyes:

    Jesus lads, relax. They are a better team, playing in a better league with a much, much better European record that ourselves. Chances are they will make easy work of us, unless they carry their poor form into Europe, then we will have a shot at winning.

    I say this having seen them play this season, the last game being against Honefoss last month when they won 4-0 (lost a bet on that too :mad: ), before anyone jumps on me for not knowing anything about them.

    Ha I'm sure you have.:rolleyes

    I'm not that naive that I think Rovers will be anything but the underdogs in the game, having not seen Molde play and having seen us play. Going by their recent record in Europe, I'd be foolish to think otherwise.

    On the otherhand, I have no idea where you're qualifying you're opinion on Molde making "handy work" of us from. Unless you are truly the lover of Norwegian football as you profess to be.

    Bert Kassies site is a pan european site and probably the best site out there for news on the different euopean competitions. I wonder what non partisan europeans think of sligos chances?

    How long do the clubs have to decide on what date they will play their qualifier. Still no confirmation (that I can find) from Molde FK on what day (23/24) they will host our 2nd leg on.

    It's a hard one to call because I can't see too many people having much knowlegde of the the norwegian league .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,468 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    They played well yesterday, albeit against a newly promoted side. Gatt going off injured was a blessing in disguise as Chukwu is better and played well. He will probably start against us as Gatt will be going to the Gold Cup with the US.

    They were pi*s poor defending corners though.

    Funnily enough that question was asked by another Sligo supporter. Just scroll down although it doesnt give an actual date but when you can expect the date to be forwarded to Sligo
