Turkish weekend
Here's what football is like down my way. Pretty good, eh? Ankaraspor 0 - 2 Galatasaray Cimbom had to wait until late on to claim victory, big Harry Kewell and Shabani Nonda both bagging goals inside the final 20 minutes. Fenerbahce 2 - 1 Manisaspor Things looked dodgy for the home side when Emre Belozoğlu was dismissed after 75 [...]
Champions League qualifiers
Who cares, honestly? None of these teams are going to win the bloody thing. What a useless format for a crap competition. Bring on the Wenger super league. Atletico Madrid 2 - 0 Panathinaikos (Agg. 5-2) An ugly, ugly game. Panathinaikos' defender Loukas Vintra bagged an own goal from a Diego Forlan 'pass' in the fifth minute. Sergio Aguero [...]
Türkiye Super Lig opening weekend
After Beşiktaş slipped up on Friday night, the other big boys didn't miss the opportunity to get ahead in the league on the opening weekend. Gaziantepspor 2 – 3 Galatasaray Cimbom took an early lead with goals from young Arda Turan and Mustafa Sarp. Julio Cesar pulled one back in the 37th minute, but Shabani Nonda restored [...]
Champions League qualifiers
Twente 1 - 1 Sporting Lisbon (Agg. 1-1*) A second minute header from that man Douglas handed big Steve McClaren’s Twente the lead over Sporting, the scoreline remaining like that until deep into injury time, the 95th minute to be exact, when Sporting’s keeper Rui Patricio legged it into the Twente box to face a corner, the goalie incredibly [...]
Champions League qualifier: Anderlecht 5 – 0 Sivasspor
An absolute shocker for the Turkish upstarts from Sivas, who, in the Turkish press at least, were really confident of their chances of doing over the Belgians. Me thinks they've left themselves a little too much to do in the second leg. Young Tom De Sutter headed the hosts in front from a corner, with Mbark Boussoufa firing home a left-footed [...]
Beşiktaş win the Turkish double
Turkey's greatest team, in terms of me liking them rather than in actual trophies won, are back on top of the pile for the first time since 2003. The league title race was set up nicely going in to the final weekend, with mighty BJK on 68 points, plucky Sivasspor two back on 66 and Black Sea legends Trabzonspor a further point behind. All the best [...]
Sivasspor still fancy it
Hacettepe 1 - 2 Sivasspor Those pesky upstarts Sivasspor returned to the top of the table at the expense of the mighty Beşiktaş who play tonight, Murat Erdoğan rifling a fine goal into the bottom corner before Herve Tum tucked home the second. Ibrahim Şahin scored a last minute penalty for Ankara team [...]
Turkish weekend
Better late than never... A mental weekend of footy in Turkey has let my boys leapfrog to the top ahead of Sivasspor, with Cimbom and Trabzon still hanging in there, not to mention those Fener buggers. Galatasaray 1 - 0 Ankaragücü Liverpool oldboy Milan Baros scored from the penalty spot to secure the three points. Fenerbahçe 1 - [...]
Sivasspor 3 – 0 Trabzonspor
Those buggers from Sivas have done it again, moving one decisive step closer to the Turkish league title with this monster, monster win. Sivasspor struck after just seven minutes of their top of the table clash with Trabzonspor, patient build-up eventually saw a left wing cross converted by Musa Aydin from close-range. After 20 minutes it was two, [...]
