Braga only accepted half of their allocation & Porto sent back 2,000 tickets

30 euro for the stand in the Sligo v Leitrim is far to much! GAA main target should be to get bums on seats & in doing so they would make more money than those turn away prices.

Not so long ago an All Ireland semi final was 30 euro or less for a seat.

Seven Leitrim players will make their senior championship debut in this game, it's safe to say no other team in Ireland will be having that many newcomers.

Hughes slams Ulster Council's "astonishing" decision

Referring to the Council's unwillingness to change the throw-in time of Saturday week's Ulster SFC meeting with Armagh, the Down star believes provincial chiefs have shot themselves in the foot by refusing to avoid a clash with the Champions League final.

Speaking to The Irish Examiner, Hughes blasts: "The Ulster Council should definitely have moved the game. I don't understand that. I just can't understand why they did that.

"Why take money off the gate? Why take people away from the game when there's absolutely no need to do it? Why not put it on at 3 o'clock on the Saturday or why not put it on at 5 o'clock even?

"Why not let people go to the game at 5 o'clock and go home or go to the bars then? Economically speaking, from a financial point of view, it just doesn't make sense.

"We're living in the 21st century. I can't understand the thinking behind it. At the end of the day, realistically, FIFA aren't going to move their match so the GAA have to. We're a small organisation; we have to make the most of the population we have so that people will actually go to the game. They're cutting off their nose, they really are.

"You'll have your hardcore supporters but it probably won't be anything more than would go to a national league game. It's astonishing.

"They had no problem conceding when it came to opening up the ground to other major sports. That's the reality. And they were bigger issues - far, far bigger issues - and rightly so, so changing a throw-in time ... I just don't see the big problem."

I see a fan was making an ass of himself at the weekend http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll8xs2CPQQ1qdlks9o1_500.jpg

Alot of Swans on that field.

Forest could/should be level now with all these chances missed.

Bratislava - I'm put off by stories I have heard about the place.

Yeah heard some bad stories myself 

1-0 some strike, forest defenders letting themselves down 2-0 now.

Will be some relegation battle on Sunday who would you fancy to go down with West ham?

I see Leitrim are 11/2 with some bookies now, i don't think they will win but are they worth a flutter?

Giggs is starting to show his age.

3 in a row not since that days of Johan Cruyff.

That was only 17 years ago that Cruyff won his fourth. Not really a big wait for a 3 in a row, especially with the rise of Deportivo and Valencia at the turn of the century.

Google doesn't really provide context, unless you dig a bit deeper on it.

Or, you could just be like me and know quite a bit about Spanish football.

I was referring to Google Central, Ross.

Ah, my apologies. I think ross knows more than I originally gave him credit for. Still doesn't talk any sense though.

Still think he is a WUM.

A WUM would be Liverpool fan that uses Chelsea/Arsenal club crests during the season! now google that bitch 

What exactly is he supposed to google?

I'd say he (minder) needs to google the term WUM.

Why?

Why not! what harm would it do? you may discover your not one of a kind??
