TMWWBK 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Is anyone else watching this enthralling feast of passionate, heart on the sleeve football? It's currently 1-1 after 30 minutes or so. Lincoln put the Cimbom ahead, and the wonderful Semih equalised for Fenerbache. http://www.justin.tv/mktv For me, this ranks as a better derby than both El Classico and the Old Firm match.

Not watched any turkish football I dont think. Yeah, Turkish football has had some amount of investment in recent times, Fenerbache especially. Im really desperate to get to a Galatasaray game at the Ali Sami Yen. I can't stand Fenerbache really, their fans are just so up themselves. Sure, they had a summer budget of around €100M, but they got totally carried away with things, with even some of the pro-Fener element of the Turkish media speculating that they were going to sign players like Ronaldinho, Fabregas and Eto'o. Also, they pay Roberto Carlos €4.2M a year. When there's such a thing as third world poverty going on, that's enough to hate any team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigot To be fair Turkish football looked like a bit of a mix of - up and coming turkish stars, Unheard of South Americans and past it foreigners whenever I'd seen teams in champions league/UEFA Cup. Still not a bad game from what I saw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not a bad game from what I saw. Yeah, to be honest i think it will always be a 2nd rate league due to the fact Turkey is a rather "de-westernized" country. As i say though, the likes of Gala, Fener and even Besiktas have brought some big names to the league in recent times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 3-1 Fener. Ugh. Roberto Carlos smashed in a free kick from about 35 yards, the keeper could only parry it and it fell to Diego Lugano for a tap in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Is Arda Turan playing in this match? I'm surprised I haven't heard him linked to a big move in January, or maybe I haven't been paying attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been mutterings in the Spanish press linking him with moves to Madrid and Milan. He's the type of player that Madrid are crying out for.

TMWWBK 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 It finished 4-1 to Fenerbache. Deivid scored another in the 90th minute. The score totally flatters Fener, though. Gala deserved a point from the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkfan1990 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I've also been to Turkey . Far from Istanbul but everyone is into the teams from there . They are usually either Fenerbache or Galatasaray , though you do get some Besiktas fans . Fantastic derby match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
