Fixture Focus - Spurs (15 Dec 2011)



Shamrock Rovers FC vs Tottenham Hotspur
(Europa League Group Stage)







This game might (or rather, highly likely will) be the last European game for us, as well as our Irish opponents.

Our boys would be visiting Tallaght Stadium, home of last season's Irish champions. To progress into the round of 32, we need a goal fest there AND hope that Rubin Kazan loses to PAOK. With Redknapp stating that he is focusing more on the EPL this season (and gain that Champions League spot), the youngsters again would be put to the test this time. Expect to see the likes of Rose, Livermore, Townsend, Carroll, etc., and the likely veterans to go would be Cudicini, Kaboul and Defoe.

Shamrock Rovers would also be ending their European adventure with a possible bang. Adding to this significance is that their manager, O'Neill, would be leaving at the end of this month. This could jolly well be their last burst of fire.

I would expect this as a friendly, yet entertaining match.

COYS!!!!!
