Great idea.

Shams got found out and trounced out of sight, No wonder they are known as Sham Rovers !!

I went with my son and the 'limbs' when we equalised is something that will go with me to the grave! It was a great experience for us and for Rovers. Stamford Bridge was impressive, 10k less capacity than the Aviva, but a stadium of character nonetheless and atmosphere. Facilities were great, you could get proper beer, food etc. Toilets bar etc were very nice, well kept. I was a little disappointed at how we kind of gifted Chelsea two goals, but at the same time, you really can't compare like with like. It was a real 'education' in the footballing sense of the word. I was saying to my young lad, how impressive the Chelsea defence were, how easy it all looked. Conference league is a great avenue for the League of Ireland. Hopefully, more than one team in a season can make progress like this in this competition! Had the added bonus of bumping in to Aaron Greene and family at the London eye the next day and on the flight home on Saturday! Happy Christmas Keith to you and all the Footy Vlogs family!

Its a great day to see an irish team go so far

If we don't make those 2 mistakes, it's a totally different game. But it's something to build on before the KO stage. Went ballistic in the Shed when Poom's goal went in. Didn't even know who scored. I didn't care 😂

Cheers keith. Not sure if there was communication by Pohls but Burns completlely at fault for 1st goal. Schoolboys taught not to play the back pass bwtween posts and that keeper should expect ball outside of post and if misplaced, corner worse scenario. Cleary poor for their 2nd but again Burns had a 1 v 1 on halfway and tirned back ti cleary, very poor feom cleary then. 4th cleary static and beaten by pace and height. Chelseas other 2 well taken and Rovers missed a few good chances, Cleary again. Looking forward to knockouts

St Pats should of released Christmas jumpers saying, “Santas Saints” 😅

Chelsea are always expected to win that game but poor defending and ridiculous errors at the back really gifted an elite team in a game you can’t afford to hand out any freebies. Cleary was poor in my view and Kenny missed a sitter early on which could have seen rovers go 1 up. Fair play to the Rovers fans and let’s hope, hope the players and staff learn from this game and bring improvements into the playoff games.

I have never understood how Dan Cleary was a Rovers player and tonight just proved it. On the good side however I thought the Premier Sports commentators were incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and positive about Rovers and the LOI in general. Well done Rovers all in all. Doing the league proud . More investment needed now pronto

No shame in defeat. The gulf in class between the sides was obvious, no hiding from that fact. They were playing a team who expect to win the final. Rovers can look forward to the next match in the competition. They can hold their heads up high. Chelsea are playing in arguably the top league in Europe. They're ahead of Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd in that league. They will probably play Fiorentina or Real Betis in the Conference final. Their squad value is almost that of the other 31 teams combined... at over 1 thousand million euro. What annoys me is, that the knockers of league of ireland football will use the scoreline as ammunition to justify looking down on our league. Our league is as good as many in Europe, and when at their best can compete with many teams in Europe... bar those from the top 5 countries... England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany. Here's me hoping that Cork City will be playing in Europe after the coming season !

Let us know your thoughts 👌

Chelsea have a squad value of 1.4 Billion... Rovers will be grateful for 4 or 5 million from this competition. Chelsea will be looking to win the Conference League outright... Rovers are delighted just to reach the knockout stage. Chelsea are 1/14 ON with the bookies to win tonight... Rovers are 22/1. Liverpool are ahead of Chelsea in the world's top league at this stage, but nobody else is... and it's just before Christmas... while Rovers haven't even started their season yet. So for me, Rovers must go out and enjoy themselves in this match, because no one gives them a prayer of getting anything out of this match... not, even if, Chelsea play an understrength team. I look forward to it.

Is pierrot joining soon 👀 🔴⚫️

Got me wish Keith lad first home game revenge beckons 👍

Pierrot is definitely off. He absolutely has to play in a 2 coz his workrate (or rather lack of it) is exposed when he's up top on his own

Would love to see whelan and pierrott up front as a bohs fan

If Rovers are already losing Kenny & Farrugia wouldn't that be an argument for Greener not to move on? 8/10 seems a bit high to me. Surely, Bradley would like to keep at least a modicum of continuity in the Rovers front line! Rory Gaffney possibly to come back in but at 35y/o after a year on the sidelines who knows if he'll be able to come back properly at all at his age.

I'd give Keith a solid 8.25 under my complex Christmas Jumper rating system, which is still being refined, while Daz rates as 8.4 but to be honest, I don't typically award more than 8.80, it's a bit like some of those Olympic gymnastics scoring system. Anyway, Bohs would probably take Pierrot in a heartbeat if they can get good contract terms. Pierrot has shown he's willing to travel to further his career so maybe a Continental team might tickle his fancy but I'd love to see him in Dalymount. Interesting observation about him needing a second man up front but with Devoy, Tierney, Clarke and Rooney all attacking players who will press high, I'm not sure he needs someone else with him.

Let us know your thoughts and perhaps “Rate The Christmas Jumpers” 😂👌

irish so cringe damn

Roll on February.

A big loss to galway why Galway would let this man go is beyond me 😮

Towells high wages and poor attitude would put clubs off taking a risk with towell imo

Thanks for the video Keith! We are all looking forward to celebrating your contributor's birth on the 25th of this month.😇🙏

Talking about Towell loan deals and whether he's prepared to take a pay cut don't make any sense. His contract with rovers is over. He's a free agent. He won't get a third of the wage he robbed at rovers the past few years.

Keith what do you work at you seem to have a decent gaff 😄

Neither sean hoare or lee grace are left footed fyi 😅

Both Lee Grace and Sean Hoare are right footed Centre-Backs

All I want for Christmas is a Galway united rumour 🎄

With all the outgoings so far at Waterford, im surprised they arent an option for Towell, again could be an insane wage for them but id say he'd be a good fit there with Podge Amond

Bohs should be in for Turner

Hi Keith, i think you look like johnny deep with short hair. It might be also worth noting i think that i look like brad pitt with no hair

Looks like Pats have dodged the Richie Towell bullet, thank Christ. It seems unlikely to me that Kenny was ever interested in him.

Just to let you all know. The 2025 Cork City home shirt is now available at the official Cork City store in Douglas Shopping Centre ( No.207 bus from Patricks Street ). And Cobh Ramblers have their new 2025 jerseys on show at their brand new merchandise store ( right in the town centre, below a large green building ). I'll be heading to Dublin in a few weeks to get the new Shels and Bohs home jerseys. Happy days !

Let us know your thoughts on these possible transfers!

The Dubs have it easy. So many Dublin derbies, then the short trips to Bray and Drogheda. It's much tougher for Finn Harps, Cobh Ramblers, and Wexford. Travelling large distances for many of their away matches. What this video doesn't capture are the long trips you undertook to make this video. Longford to Derry... Sligo to Galway... Tralee to Cork... and Cobh to Waterford. All in a day... a huge well done ! Bet you were glad to see your beds.

I bet you had fun trying to find Treaty Uniteds ground. I needed a taxi to get there. Cobh to Finn Harps is a savage journey. Finn Park is a bit run down though, as are sections of Dalymount Park. St Pats is my favourite away ground. Great video !

My favourites are Drogheda, Finn Harps, Bray and Kerry. My least favourites are Cork, Waterford, and Galway. I like the Cobh Ramblers jersey too. Everybody has different favourites and least favourites. It's a matter of personal taste.

Josh Honohan MOTM. Unluckily for him Watts was so good or he’d have been POTY as well.

I'd go a step further, make it a bumper weekend of derby games and have a double header, Bohs vs Rovers and Shels vs Pats, could be an incredible showcase for the league, have 4 separate sets of fans in each stand. Could be chaos for the gards but would be incredible to see

Decided i wouldn't go on the beer at the game but still got soaked in it when we scored. What a great night. Thought we might rock the train carriage off the tracks from all the dancing and jumping on the way back from the stadium

GREAT RESULT!! GOOD ANALYSIS.......WELL DONE!! I'M A HOOPS FAN....AGREE JOSH HONOHAN MOTM.

Great for the league of Ireland

Where's Jp that will give him something to cry about

Athlone is the oldest club in the Republic Daz

Small mindedness is the only argument against this. Leinster and Munster play their match in the aviva. The thought of having to "earn" the aviva is just jealous nonsense

LOI passes the 1 million attendance this year ,up from 450,000 in 2019 ,new stadium for BOHZ and SLIGO ,things looking good for LOI

Could bohs play in parnell park for 2-3 years?

If they can get a point or 3 in last home game they have had a unbelievable league in Europe.. brilliant results..
