Abernethy Saint Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Isn't it embarrassing when folk from other counties speak and write better Englsh than wot we do......happens ALL the time. All the Swiss fans I chatted to spoke English to at least conversation level (obviously!). Our schools are rank at this. hashtagnationaldisgrace. Sounds like this could be a cracking game.

Inchcolm Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I suppose it depends on wot school you go to or what you study at college or university. I am fortuate I went to good ones and can speak French, German and Greek. German and Greek I learned when stationed in West Germany and Cyprus.

MySpazz Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Agree with this. I bet that fan never seen your team play. The general concensus amongst our fans is that the only good Scottish team are Celtic and the rest is poor, playing some old fashioned kick and rush football. They haven´t learned from our tie against Sligo Rovers a couple years ago. We kicked them out thanks to a 3:1 home win but they gave us a hard time over in Ireland only to miss a penalty in a one sided first half. I know you have a great support which will put our talented but still quiet inexperienced side under a lot of pressure so anything can happen. That said, Spartak have played some great football this year so that´s probably where our confidence to get past the Saints is coming from. We´d put a club record of eight wins in a row since March to May and have started this season in great fashion too. We haven´t sold our rough diamonds like we used to in the past. Even added new faces to already very talented core and have a manager with a vision of dynamic, attacking football. There´s four Slovakia U21 internationals on the team, one full international and we´ve just added La Masia graduate who absolutely run the show in the middle of the park against Zestafoni. Defence looks stronger as well thanks to players being as fit as I´ve seen my team in 30 years - pressing the hell out of opposition - but that´s one of the reasons we´re over-agressive. We commited 36! fouls against the Georgians, giving them a lot of free kicks in dangrous areas. That´s where my main worry is as I´m sure the Saints will have a good few headers of the ball on their team. Before the Luzern vs St Johnstone tie, our fanbase was rooting for the Swiss side as much handier destination to get to. On the other we tought the Scotts would be easier to get through. With youse beating Luzern over a two legs which is quiet an achievement, and the kick-off getting closer I´m not that sure about our prospects anymore. Think it´s going to be pretty close. For those who have a chance to attend the game in Perth but still not sure if it´s worth it, I´ll say this: let´s get behind your team, cheer them up, support your team and the manager who will need it in these though times, after loosing his mother. There´s also highly technical, pacey attacking team comming to your town so I´m sure you´ll have a great time. Enjoy is this guy REALLy from slovakia.... banned101 take a bow IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I think you're an exception, although well done you. I have bits of paper saying I can speak French and Latin. I can't. I think you get my point though. Which is that, when you visit these countries, almost everyone can have some sort of conversation with you. Thank god for the universal language of football, and...errrr....pointing a lot. Anyway, off-topic. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabo Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Having a good recent run and some good players in the national U21's is clear evidence of a decent side. The following quote from our comrade in Slovakia indicates to me that that they will attempt to break up the play as much as possible, this looks very similar to Minsk. 36 fouls!! Not sure if you´re being sarcastic Havana mate. We don´t foul ´cause we want to break the play up. We do it because of our players have energy to play two games in once now, and that they´re so inexperienced they think every chalenge can be won. Spartak have change things around from top to bottom after the last ´almost relegated´ fiasco. We´re not a selling club anymore. We´ve put huge amounts into our academy infrastructure. We´re building the new stadium, we´ve a clear plan and people on the board now who know how to run a football club. We´re a year ahead of schedule as nobody expected such a rise in a space of two years. We´re in this cup by an accident to be honest. As our manager says, this is just a bonus as we´re building for the future - we hope to fill our new ground next year and finally give the people of Trnava something to cheer about. That said, this team looks good. There´s some Bundesliga scouts sniffing around our talents already. We´ve tied them down to long-ish contracts instead of selling so it shows we´ve a bigger ambitions. I won´t be that dissapointed if we don´t get through this time around. We´re going up the hill anyway. Some nice comments from Norwichsaint and others, appreciate it. I too hope you have something to play for in away leg hah. What ´COYS´ mean btw?

saint10 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Agree, if Macdonald is fully fit, he's the one to watch out for. A techinal wizard of a player. With a lot of experience playing in England which has given him so much creativity. At times he can ghost past 4 or 5 players and spray an 40 pass with his bad foot like he does it every day.

I was impressed with the video of the stadium. Great setup. Fans look like they back the team well. Thanks for the videos Sabo. Good to learn more about other teams and see how other countries clubs and fans are - its a bit much when we see some 3-5 times a season, with a few visits to Dundee thrown in.
