UEFA Europa League 2015/16

TIL that Ireland has several stadiums that are larger than the largest stadiums in Switzerland.

Although most of them are only available to Gaelic Games.

Croke Park? And its only got 3 proper stands! Its got about the same capacity as Old Trafford, I think. I've always wanted to see a game there.

Croke Park is the third biggest stadium in Europe! It's three covered stands and a terrace. I was there, once, but prior to the redevelopment.

The list is:

Croke Park (83,000)

Semple Stadium (53,300)

Aviva Stadium (51,700)

Gaelic Grounds (49, 866)

Páirc Uí Chaoimh (45,000)

Fitzgerald Stadium (43, 180)

McHale Park (42, 000)

Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson has been confirmed as the man in the middle for Liverpool’s Europa League final against Sevilla in Basel next Wednesday.

The club are planning to screen it somewhere in town. Me and my mate are planning to watch it in town and have booked Thursday off work so we'll either be getting celebratory pissed or commiserations pissed.  

I felt sorry for Klopp on Sunday. A club lawyer or someone high up told him to near enough apologise for saying a 100,000 people should go to Basel  

If I didn't have two holidays booked in September and it wasn't in such a small stadium thus making tickets hard to get despite having been every European home game I would have went. Ahhh well. 

[Lineker]

Both this and the CL final will be streamed live on YouTube. 

[EddieG]

By BT Sport, right?

[Hobo]

Yup!

[Lineker]

Three men who stole Europa League final tickets from Liverpool FC's office are being hunted by police.

[Hobo]

Big Divvy has been passed fit for the Final.

 

[DavidMarrio]

It's finally here!!!!

I keep ranging between really excited and nervous. Massive game tonight that could be used as a starting platform for this squad. Despite inconsistencies in the league and plagued with injuries throughout the season we've reached two finals. 

I think we'll just about edge it tonight. Come on Liverpool!!!!

My Liverpool-supporting friend has been an utter prat and unwittingly booked theatre tickets for him and his wife this evening. He has decided that he'll still go and watch the recorded match later (not something I'd manage if I were him).

I must resist the urge to send him phony updates throughout the match...

Guess who booked a holiday on Saturday 21st May thinking "meh, season is over. I won't miss a game."

Luckily, our flight gets in at 5.10pm Spanish time. The FA Cup final kicks off at 6.30pm Spanish time. As long as we're delay free and through baggage claim, I should be fine. I'll have my phone on me. 

[Adam]

Nobody arsed about this Europa League Final then?

[Lineker]

Liverpool unchanged from the Villarreal game.

[The Lusophone]

Its very bitey thus far.

[DavidMarrio]

Very stop start so far. Bit nervy from both teams. 

Refs a shit house. Where's the pen for the handball?!?!!!

[stokeriño]

That would have been a staggeringly harsh penalty to give, regardless of what BT Sport's horde of ex-Liverpool pundits say.

[The Lusophone]

Penalty shout, not given. Not sure about it. Sevilla player had his arm at his side, but its blocked or diverted the path of the ball.
