Pick of the Day
Live European Soccer, 7.30pm, RTÉ2
What a bland title for the biggest game in Irish football this year, as our champions Shamrock Rovers take on Estonia’s Flora Tallinn for a place in the group stages of the new Europa Conference League.
The Hoops put in a dismal performance in the first leg last Thursday, going down 4-2 to Flora thanks to some awful defending. But this tie is far from over.
With the likes of Graham Burke, Richie Towell, Danny Mandroiu, Rory Gaffney, Aidomo Emakhu (above) and Aaron Greene to call on, Rovers’ coach Stephen Bradley has plenty of attacking options at his disposal.
Backed by a partisan crowd – restricted to 3,500, but they’ll make ten times that much noise – this could be a night of high drama at Tallaght Stadium.
Peter Collins is joined in studio by Gary Rogers and Stuart Byrne, while commentary is from Des Curran and Pat Fenlon with Tony O'Donoghue reporting. KO 7.45pm, with possible extra-time and penalties.
C'mon the Hoops!
