  1. Loved seeing the fans together before and after the games Today was far from our best, I believe we will play a lot better in Scotland against a St. Johnstone that will take more risks to get goals. Today the Saints played a very closed game and accepted the ball in their half Possession figures were something like 70% Eskisehirspor 30% Saints. We had some clear chances that needed to be put away Malecki in that second minute, Dede on the defender mistake, Alper 1v1 with the keeper all failed to put in those great chances. You guys gave it to us in the last 10 minutes, I think our players forgot that football is played for 90 minutes and not 80, too relaxed and careless for my liking. Good luck in the return leg guys let's hope for better football from both sides.
  2. I edited my post above, apparently the game will air on their TRT Spor channel and not TRT1 so the link I gave for Digiturk will not do you any good as they only carry TRT1. Yes, firstrowsports or atdhe.net is a good source for live streams.
  3. I will warn you guys that the TRT servers are not too reliable. I'm in the U.S. and just as you guys I will be relying on streams and my past experiences with TRT have been very disappointing. I'm hoping for the best but be prepared for the worst. If the stream sucks I advise you to try http://www.digiturkplay.com/ they have a family plan (Aile Paketi) for a daily (Gunluk) fee of US $2.95 (http://www.digiturkplay.com/Subscription.aspx) the channel TRT1 is part of this package. Edit: nevermind about this link, apparently they will show the game on their TRT Spor channel and not TRT1.
  4. Which games have you watched? because if you think Kamara is our best player you are going to be in for a big surprise.
  5. Bring your bathing suits as well as there is a man made beach in Eskisehir, get some sun take a dip in the water
  6. Saints fans do not pay attention to the retards that post on the facebook pages, they're most probably some 12-13 year old juveniles with no idea of what it means to be an Eskisehirspor fan. I'm going to check on this later tonight and give these little idiots a piece of my mind. I'm currently at work and facebook is blocked unfortunately. There are a few that are probably fans of rivals as well as they've been known in the past to go in and start trouble with our opponents. You will see for yourselves how modern of a city Eskisehir is and how hospitable we can be. Eskisehir is one of the best cities in Turkiye, for me it is the best I love everything about it. Gametime if any one of these facebook kids mouthed off like they do on the internet they would be beat on site by real Eskisehirspor fans.
  7. The UEFA stadium inspectors came out and compiled a full report about our Ataturk Stadium and it seems that they will OK the stadium for Europa League Competitions. Many reports saying UEFA have given the ok, so basically you will be coming down to Eskisehir for the game. Wish you guys the best of luck in your travels, it will be a memorable occasions for both sets of fans.
  8. Seems a board member of ours and our "sporting director" got together with some members of your board during the draw it looks like. The sporting director Zafer Tuzun is not liked by us supporters, he's a two faced former player (he's the only unprofessional douchebag without a tie in the pic)
  9. For students yes it will be but it's similar to what we pay when we go to fb, gs or bjk stadium for league games and we fill the away stands. I'm expecting our prices to be around 30-40TL about 10-15 GBP.
  10. Thank you for the generosity. I am planning a trip with my family providing the second leg is really going to be away for us. When all is confirmed, I will have many questions for you
  11. He also received 50% of his pay upfront, contrary to some bullshit reports he does not have a case against us for unpaid wages. Although late on many occasions he got his money for warming the bench. Then coach Michael Skibbe was not too keen on his laziness and didn't put him in his plans. We were actually rumored with Derek Riordan as well and now I see he failed with you guys also we fell victim to manager games. Well I will be around here but I wish you guys the best of luck in our games. you are on the same path as us just in different countries. Hope we both win championships in the future and meet each other in the CL sometime
  12. haha definitely not we respect all opponents unless those opponents happen to be Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, Besiktas, Bursaspor, Trabzonspor or Ankaragucu fans (relegated this year ohh yeahhh) these teams we hate with a passion and if seen walking around Eskisehir during gamedays get stern warnings to remove their uniforms/scarves and if they don't comply they are forced off But we are looking forwrad to this. Have not played in Europe since 1971!! I was born 9 years later hahaha. I live in the US and plan on making my way over for the away game at your stadium (hopefully the second game is at your stadium, otherwise I can't)
  13. Hello fellas, I know right now it seems very confusing for you and UEFA and CAS screwed everything up with their damn delay but I can almost guarantee that Besiktas will not have their ban overturned by CAS. They are in deep shit at the moment and looking for ways to sell their stars like Fernandes, Quaresma, Simao etc.. on the other hand if you do get paired up with tjem you will be playing a very depleted team with a brand new coach at helm. We beat Besiktas during the regular season along with all other teams that finished above us except for Galatasaray, but with them they couldn't beat us the past 4 years so they exacted their revenge. At home we are solid, have one of the best records in the league. We have guys like Dede who played like 15 seasons with Borrusia Dortmund, you guys are familiar with Diomansy Kamara. We have up and coming youngsters who have already earned caps for the Turkish NT in Alper Potuk (wanted by Fenerbahce, Galatasaray etc..) Batuhan karadeniz this kid is a beast physically and great technique for a player his size. Brazilian Diego Angelo at CB who's incredibly agile and always rumored with some top clubs in Spain, Italy etc..
