It's
I just think he's a victim of his own success in Europe.
I think you like you look at where they've come from.
Um, like your Irish crowds were lucky to get through a round or two and now they're they're knocking on the door of of Group Stage football every season.
I think it was just an an expectation that Rovers were gonna do this every season and they've gone up a level.
That's Europa League.
They've obviously got that parachute now come back into to conference league to play off against Coupes and that's probably the the top tier of the

I don't I don't think there's pressure on him.
Um I don't see how there can be.
He's he's won the league back to back how many times um and and progressed so far in Europe.

They've obviously been in the conference league the last couple of seasons, but you just look at the way that the Champions League draw came for them as well.
Did a good open round Champions League draw got through that, then got Ararat Armenia.
You felt that like they got they got beaten two nil away from home, brought them back to Talla and really went at them, then conceded a poor goal.
