FK Partizan Belgrade (Serbia)

FK Partizan Belgrade were formed in late 1945, by the Yugoslavian Sports Association and were named after The Partisans - the Communist military in WWII Yugoslavia. It was originally the team of the Yugoslav People's Army, although they became independent of that military connection in the early fifties. They play, of course, in vertical black and white stripes.

They are the winners of 21 domestic titles (including those of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro and latterly Serbia alone) a total only bested by neighbours Crvena Zvezda (that's Red Star Belgrade to you) with 25 - although they've won the last couple and are seem well on their way to catching them up. Famous former players include Stjepan Bobek, Dragan Mance, Branko Zebec, recent Chelsea stars Slaviša Jokanović and Mateja Kežman and one time Aston Villa misfit Savo Milosovic, as well as those two nippers Manchester United bought and them immediately loaned back to them last season.

They will also go down in History as playing the very first match in Champion's League History (then known as the European Champion's Cup) when they beat Sporting Lisbon 8-5 on aggregate back in 1955. They were also the first East European club to play in a European Cup final, when they lost to 2-1 to Real Madrid, despite taking an early lead.

They are perhaps as well known for their fans though as they are their football. Their hardcore supporters are known as the Grobari - Serbian for grave diggers - a nickname given them by Red Star fans who likened their stripy strip to that of the uniform worn by cemetery hole excavators. To this effect there are many flags brandished at games featuring soily looking men with spades.

So powerful are the Grobari that they even caused the downfall of the club's sports director and general secretary when they boycotted all home games until they stepped down - an action that went on from 2005 till 2007.

The club's rivalry with Red Star is among the most rabid in all football, and their frequent derbys are often firmly fought affairs - both on and off the pitch. It probably doesn't help that the two team's grounds are only a few hundred yards apart. A fact I discovered for myself when I went to see each club play a couple of years back. I'd already seen Partizan overwhelm OFK of Belgrade away at their gorgeoulsy ricketty stadium with its smashing view if the Danube a few days earlier, so felt it was my groundhopper's duty to check out Red Star. The match - also against OFK, a team with seemingly no more than two dozen fans - was so dull that at half time I managed to nip across the way and catch the second half of Partizan's game against Vojvodina, having to cross an enormous wall of police along the way.

Their most local of all local derbys is known internationally as the Eternal Derby, and ranks as one of the greats, alongside The Old Firm, the Rome Derby and any Istanbul city game - but especially Gala v Fener. The game's best ever attendance weighed in at 108,000, although health and safety issues and the threat of hooliganism has helped slash gates in recent years.

That being said, my two trips among the Grobari passed without hitch, and their wholehearted, lusty singing and seemingly endless selection of fully choreographed songs was at turns passionate, moving and funny. Go see them play if ever you're down that way or they're playing somewhere near you, because whatever the football is like, you'll rarely stand among a more exciting and noisy bunch of fans.

My Matchday - 250 Stonebridge Road

Ebbsfleet United 2v0 Gateshead
Blue Sq Premier
Saturday 17th April 2010

Ebbsfleet United is the re-branded name of Gravesend & Northfleet FC who changed their name on May 1st 2007. Ebbsfleet is a small suburb of Northfleet, the renaming coincides with their sponsorship with Eurostar, whose trains serve Ebbsfleet International station. The area is on the south bank of the Thames in north west Kent and lies within the Thames Gateway

The club was formed in 1946 with the amalgamation of Gravesend United and Northfleet United, both had played in the Kent and Southern Leagues since the clubs were founded in the 1890’s.
The Fleet’s early history was in the Southern League, becoming champions in 1957-58, the club remaining in the league until becoming founder members of the Alliance Premier League in 1979.
G&N stay in the pyramids top league lasted only three seasons, with relegation back to the Southern League which they went on to win for a second time in 1993-94.
In 1997 they joined the Isthmian League which led to a return to the Conference after four seasons, winning the Isthmian Premier League in 2001-02.

Ebbsfleet United is renowned for the take over by the MyFootballClub website in November 2007. The website entered a deal to take over the club, with approximately 27,000 MyFootballClub members each paying £35 for one equal share which provided the funds for a £700,000 takeover. The members each had an input in major decisions including picking the team and votes on transfer targets.
After a successful first season which ended with a first trip to Wembley, with a 1-0 win over Torquay United in the final of the FA Trophy, the majority of MyFC members failed to renew their membership.
The numbers of renewals dropped to just over 9,000 in 2009 with the club previously stated that 15,000 was the minimum requirement, recent figures show that only 800 members have continued to pay membership fees.
Northfleet had played at Stonebridge Road since 1905. The marriage of the two clubs after the War saw Gravesend vacated their ground at Central Avenue and move in with their new partner.
The Main Stand was completed in 1959 replacing terracing which was used to replace the original old stand. The Stand has a single tier of red seats with white supporting pillars with a shallow terrace in front, which is mainly used for photographers and as a disabled supporters section.
There’s open terraces at each side of the Main Stand, the section nearest the Plough End is a popular part of the ground, as it’s close to the bar behind the Plough End stand. The covered terrace was replaced with seats in 2006. The roof of the stand still has vague remains of an advert for Trueman Beers and has THE FLEET painted in big red letters on the back wall.
Opposite the Main Stand is the Stonebridge Road End which had cover added in the early 1950’s and also incorporates a small club shop and TV gantry.
Away supporters use the Swanscombe End which was reconstructed with crash barriers added in 1980.
The record attendance in over 100 years stands at 12,032 for an FA Cup 4th round tie with sunderland in February 1963, the Fleet drawing 1-1, forcing a replay at Roker Park which they eventually lost 5-2.

I billed this match as a relegation cup final, but squad #51 John Young came up with a better alternative when I spoke to him prior to kick-off, labelling it “a big 9 pointer”
If Ebbsfleet failed to win they would be relegated, but victory would give them a chance of survival and at the same time put Gateshead deep into the relegation clarts, and this was exactly how it turned out.
The home side took the lead in the first minute, a mix up between Swales and keeper Farman left Vieira with an open goal from a yard out to give the Fleet a dream start.
With this game being a relegation battle and a big six, sorry!, nine pointer chances were limited, but Ashikodi could have doubled the lead in the 13th minute, his close range header flicked onto the crossbar by Farman.
Gateshead battled in the second half for an equaliser but as the game progressed it became increasingly unlikely, as Ebbsfleet relied on catching the Heed on the break. It came as no surprise when that tactic paid off two minutes from time. Vieira played the ball out wide to Shakes, who raced down the right flank before picking out the unmarked Stavrinou for a simple tap into an unguarded net.
This win increases Ebbsfleet’s chances of staying up and like visitors Gateshead the relegation dogfight goes into the final weekend, the fate of both sides still unknown until 5pm next Saturday night.

Another Saturday and another long journey, this week a 630 mile round trip from Tyneside to the Garden of England. We departed at 7am, the journey went well, our bus pulled up on Stonebridge Road just after 1pm, with a few of us staying aboard, some dressed in fancy attire requesting a detour across to Gravesend for a drink.
We intended on doing a pub crawl but settled at The Robert Pocock, the Gravesend branch of Wetherspoons which was full of Leeds United fans on route to Gillingham, who we had a friendly chat and sing-song with.
It was here that I met up with Kent based 100FgC #68 Jonathan Elton. It was good to meet up with Jon as I haven’t seen him since we went to the Don Valley Stadium in September 2008. He recently completed ’The 92’ (at Hartlepool 5th April) also another member of the 100FgC who travelled down for today’s game completed the set, Lincoln based squad#86 Jim Morris (at Bristol Rovers 13th April)
The day overall was great, obviously apart from the match, which from a Gateshead fans point of view was, and I’ll choose my words carefully and not swear - an unacceptable performance for such an important game.
Stonebridge Road is a bit of a classic non-league ground. It’s plain to see there hasn’t been any work done in recent years and could do with a bit of a spruce up, but overall I really liked it.
Looking back over this season, my biggest disappointment on a personal level is Gateshead’s away fixtures didn’t fall kindly for me and I missed out on plenty of Conference grounds, but hopefully I’ll get another crack at it next season, but at the moment, it’s looking extremely doubtful.

Bath City FC (England)

My minor obsession with the teams who play in black and white began a few years ago when I first stepped onto the terraces of Twerton Park - the historic home of Bath City FC. As an exiled West Ham fan in the West Country I'd turned into somewhat of a ground hopper, touring all the local grounds within easy rail travel distance in the search of some footballing thrills.

Living in Bristol but working in Bath, I'd pass City's ground on the train every day and always thought I'd have to make the trip one day. Indeed, my mate Jimmer at work had been badgering me to come along, saying that if I came once I'd be hooked for life. I chortled under my breath, thinking how quaint it was that someone apparently smart and grown up could get so obsessed by a team languishing in the Southern League.

But then one fateful Saturday in September I bit the bullet and went along - and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was a meat and spuds early season game against the now sadly demised Kings Lynn, who held City to a slightly undeserved draw. But there was something about the ground, the players, but most of all the fans - seemingly sparse as they were - that instantly got under my skin... and as Jimmer warned, I was hooked.

I didn't go to every game straight off, but as the season progressed I became a more frequent visitor, and by the end of the term, as it became more apparent that the stripes were going to make promotion to the exhalted heights of the Blue Square South league - the second tier of Non-League football in England - I was even going to the away games too.

It was a great season to start following them, and the more I went, the more I discovered what in interesting club they were.

They formed way back in 1889 as Bath AFC, having a brief spell as Bath Railway before settling on the name Bath City for keeps a few years later. For much of their history Bath City have been in the upper echeolons of the non-league system, narrowly missing out on election to the Football League proper on a number of occasions - most notably in 1977 when as Southern League champions they missed out on a place in the big 92 by three measly votes to a little outfit called Wigan Athletic.

The stripes have got a grand FA Cup tradition too, having reached the fabled third round on no fewer than six occasions, beating full time opposition the like of Crystal Palace, Millwall, Notts County, Exeter City, Southend, Cardiff City, Hereford, and most recently fellow stripes Grimsby Town along the way.

Past players of note include the legendary Charlie Fleming, a Scottish international who had spells at Sunderland and East Fife, who scored a club record of 216 goals in 300 appearances. Former Blackpool and England ace Stan Mortensen had a spell in Twerton at the end of his career, and Jason Dodd, Tony Book, Paul Bodin and former Lavian international captain Andrejs Štolcers have also graced the hallowed turf.

There was also a young chap called Bobby Zamora, who spent an exciting month on loan to us from neighbours and one-time tennants Bristol Rovers back in the year 2000. His run of six games saw him bag eight goals, and marked him as true star for the future.

City also saw the greatest living Frenchman, Eric Cantona, visit the club in 2009. Sadly he didn't pull his boots on, but came to promote his film Looking For Eric, directed by staunch Stripes fan Ken Loach, who frequently holds premieres, benefits and film nights for the club.

For a little team who never quite made the big time Bath City have a long and proud history, and one of the most loyal, supportive and, to be fair, slightly bonkers fanbases in the country. If you're ever passing through town and there's a game on, make sure you get yourself down to Twerton Park. You might not see the kind of Rolls Royce football you see on the telly, but you'll experience a team with passion and grit, and share the terraces with a right friendly bunch.

Come on you City Boys!

Este equipo lo que mejor hace...ES ATACAR, TODOS lo sabemos menos Romano.

* Romano permite el empate.
* Cobardía en su maximo esplendor.
* Cambios sin sentido.
* Vergonzoso estilo RATONERO.
* Monterrey con poco, los dominó.

Este equipo lo que mejor hace es ATACAR, todos los que sentimos sus colores, lo sabemos, el unico que no lo sabe es su propio cuerpo técnico.
Santos ayer fue literalmente AMARRADO desde la banca, simplemente por MIEDO, POR COBARDIA al rival, y todo por mantener un magro resultado que muy a duras penas llegó despues de quien sabe cuantos minutos sin anotar gol.
Yo me pregunto...¿quién maneja al Santos? porque ese estilo medroso, ratonero y cobarde lo habíamos visto con Chava Reyes, y se "supone" que el "sistema lavolpista" dicta jugar bien, alegre y hacia el frente, bueno pues NADA DE ESO se ve en este Santos desde hace algunos partidos.
Hoy, yo no veo "volar" los laterales, y mucho menos veo el tan "cacareado" sistema lavolpista que se supone su maestro le enseñó.

Hay partidos que por su pasión NO SE DEBEN DEJAR DE GANAR, pero parece que eso poco importa al tecnico verdiblanco que apenas viendose en ligera ventaja, sacó al hombre mas rapido y peligroso del equipo, para volver a su ESPANTOSA línea de 5, metiendo a... hagame usted el recabrón favor, el kanú Santiago, ah no bueno, despues de ver ese cambio, en mi mente solo me vino una palabra, COBARDE ( de hecho vino otra mas insultante) pero me imagino que todos en el TSM ( a excepcion de la chusma llamada "la adicción", que bien debieran ya ni siquiera dejar entrar, porque no vienen a otra cosa que a crear violencia, la directiva, si fuera congruente, NO DEBERIA DEJAR ENTRAR BARRAS, a este estadio, nadie las quiere, nadie las necesita. ) pensaron lo mismo y sucedio lamentablemente.

La diferencia entre un buen tecnico y...
bueno, lo que tenemos.

Fue un gran gol, sin duda alguna. Nadie dice que no, pero era porque estaban apedreando y feo el rancho gracias a los movimientos que desde la banca se dieron.
¿Por qué demonios sacas al Hachita?
ok, es webon, pero una genialidad te resuelve y te hace que caigan mas goles al menos preocupa al rival, mantiene el balón y lanza al frente a Quintero...ah no, perdon, YA LO HABIAS SACADO.
Eso me lleva a ...Si buscas el famoso "contragolpe"
¿Por qué sacas a Darwin Quintero?
Si se supone que es el mas rapido que tienes, al que los rivales a veces no saben marcar, porque es ligero y habilidoso, ¿tu crees que ochoa tiene eso? OCHOA es un bulto,PUNTO.
Todavía aceptaría que metieras al Tin Herrera, que trae hambre y deseos de entrar, pero a un señor que desde hace mucho se debía de haber ido de esta institución, ¿a que lo metes?, damos gracias a Dios que no metiste a Arce, que como bien dijo Gustavo Mendoza, "si metes en una licuadora a Paco Torres, Carlos Ochoa, Arce Y Chema Cardenas, ¿saldrá de perdido un jugador?"

( y nomas porque no se puede meter a Becerra)

Monterrey vino, hizo lo suyo y le salió todo a perfección, Santos tenía que ganar, pudo ganar y gracias a Romano no lo hizo, esta derrota (PORQUE SABE A DERROTA), aunada a la de Pumas, la de Jaguares y el empate vs Indios, es culpa de Ruben Omar Romano, gracias a su cobardía ¿dónde quedó el discurso de "bueno, la gente debe comprender, somos líderes de grupo y tercer lugar general" ? ¿ah verdad? ya no se ve tan bien, se señalaba porque no queríamos llegar a esto y miren ahora donde estamos., hundidos en una mediocridad que ya desespera, Santos es el que peor esta jugando desde un tiempo para acá, se vino a caer en la parte mas importante del torneo y no veo por donde se pueda levantar teniendo en la banca a un señor que esta aferrado a un sistema de juego MEDROSO, TIMORATO Y COBARDE.

Ahora, el lunes, se recibe a San Luis, en horario y día atípico, ¿que esperamos? de mi parte, nada, porque viendo como amarran a este equipo no se puede esperar nada, ojala y el sr. Romano cuide su chamba y desamarre el equipo, porque la gente ya esta enojada y harta de ver perder puntos a este equipo.

Sale!

My Matchday - 249 Frenchfield Park

Penrith 0v0 Spennymoor Town
Northern League Division One
Wednesday 14th April 2010
“Oh to be in England now that April’s there” is a famous opening line of Victorian poetic gubbins by Browning, or is it Tennyson? (I better google it*) Spring time means we’re moving towards the finale of the season when the pots and medals are handed out, although there’s a club close to my heart who managed to achieve their goal with still half a dozen games remaining.
Anyway the reason behind this pretentious opening link is my matchday calendar has reached the month of April and the shocking revelation is that this is my first Northern League fixture of the season. However in my defence, and just in case club secretary Mr Haworth happens to be reading this and requests the acquiesce of my membership of ‘The Northern League Club’ I have attended games involving Dunston, Whitley Bay and Shildon in this seasons in FA Vase. (* Aye. It’s Robert Browning…Eddy)

Since my previous visit to Penrith at Southend Road in November 2007, the Blues went on to win Division Two that season(as I predicted at the time) and merged with Northern Alliance club Penrith United, reverting to their original name of plain old Penrith AFC. The team went on to finish 7th in Division One last season and reached the finals of both the League and Cumberland Cups.
Last seasons league title was won in Penrith when Newcastle Benfield clinched the championship with a late winner. As football has a habit of regurgitate itself it was Spennymoor Town who headed west to Cumbria needing three more points to become this seasons champions. However it wasn’t to be, as Penrith held the runaways leaders to a feisty draw after spending nearly the whole of the second half with ten men.

Played on a bobbley pitch the game got off to a poor start, Michael Rae came closest to breaking the deadlock, his effort hitting the crossbar in the 35th minute the only decent chance in an uneventful first half.
Minutes after the restart Penrith’s big centre half Robertson was shown the red card, the linesman on the far side saw something that no one else did, drawing the referees attention and grassing up the big lad for apparently picking on Spenny’s Dixon as the players lined up in the penalty area awaiting a free kick.
The leaders should have gone on and took the required three points, Graydon twice went close with free kicks while Cogdon produced a good save from the keeper. As the game progressed Penrith grew with confidence and could have won the game themselves with their best effort coming from Torres look-a-likey Michael Brown.
In stoppage time Rea had a glorious chance to clinch it, but blasted his close range effort over the bar. His reaction to missing such a glorious chance was to push a Penrith player flat on his back in a rage of frustration. It looked like the player had took the piss out of him for missing a sitter and he reacted like a kid in a schoolyard kick about.
Penrith were delighted to hold the champions elect to a draw, while Spenny still have four games and a big lead at the top to be confirmed as Northern League champions.

Due to the current financial climate the Frenchfield project was completed later than expected but Penrith finally took possession of the new premises prior to the start of the season, kicking off with a friendly with Annan Athletic on the 3rd August.
The ground is situated on the edge of the town by the A66, the complex is huge, 30 acres including seven full size pitches, when I arrived the place was a hive of activity with plenty of football taking place.
Frenchfield Park is found in the far corner of the complex. An attractive looking main stand caters for all amenities. The clubhouse is found at the top of the stand which is a like an executive suite at a big stadium, having a glass front which looks out onto the pitch with a separate area cordoned off for club officials and hospitality.
The changing rooms are underneath, both sets of players facilities are at opposite sides of the stand with the refreshment kiosk opposite the turnstile block.
The stand has a large cantilever roof with nine rows of blue seats with a capacity of around 250. The exterior of the stand is decked with wooden cladding which blends in with the grounds perimeter fence.
At the far side there’s a three stepped standing shelter named ‘The Walter Brogden Stand’ named after the life long fan and club secretary. The rest of the ground is made up of large tarmaced standing with a pair of Perspex dugouts in front of the stand.
It’s obvious that Frenchfield Park lacks the character of the previous home of 106 years, but the ground has been well designed and isn’t a quick knock-up-job as you sometimes get with new non-league grounds. The ground’s tranquil setting with the surrounding farmland and the views of the snow covered hills at Hartside Moor make Frenchfields an inimitable new addition to the Northern League and one that, in time, will become a favourable destination amongst sNL groundhoppers.

Ya hasta parece revista...

* Sin 3 titulares, Pumas vence a un amarrado Santos
* Arbitraje localista, mas no es la culpa de la derrota.
* Darwin en la banca, que alguien me explique.
* Guti, salió de cambio, ojala no sea lesion.
* Baloy, regresó y se noto una defensa un poco mas confiable.
* El penal...bastante discutible.

Resumen habra hasta el juego vs MONTERREY, porque en este de plano, y con disculpas para todos, pero no habia inspiracion, es triste ver a un equipo tan amarrado, gracias a la cobardía de salir a no perder.

Necesitamos que Santos abra los ojos, pero sobre todo, que Romano se aplique y desamarre a este equipo tan lleno de talento y que vale igual perder por uno que por 3.

Sale!.

My Matchday - 248 Weston Homes Community Stadium

Colchester United 1v2 Millwall
League One
Monday 5th April 2010

We continued our Easter break in Essex with a visit to a town which claims to be the oldest in Britain, on the indication it was mentioned by author and natural philosopher Pliny the Elder, who died in AD 79.
Its Celtic name Camulodunum (named after war god Camules) was a powerful settlement for King Cunobelin, who minted coins there before the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43.
Camulodunum became an established Roman legionary fortress, a colonia and the provisional Roman capital of Britannia until the town was annihilated during Boudicca’s rebellion in AD 61.
Colchester also claims to have the UK’s oldest recorded market and its main landmarks are the 11th century Norman castle, its medieval ruins and significant Victorian architecture.

Colchester United were formed in 1937 and took over the reigns at Layer Road from amateur club Colchester Town, who had played on the ground since 1909.
The ground was originally used by the army stationed at Colchester Garrison until Town bought the site in 1919. Both clubs briefly shared the ground until the Essex FA ordered that both clubs couldn’t exist hand-in-hand, so the amateur club made way for their professional counterparts.
Colchester United progressed from the Southern League becoming a Football League club in 1950. The club played at Layer Road for 71 years, amongst the highlights and my first memory of ever seeing The U’s on TV was overcoming the one mighty Leeds United in the 5th round of the FA Cup in 1971. Don Revies’s men going down 3-2 in front of a crowd of 16,000 and the Match of the Day cameras.

Work began on the Colchester Community Stadium in July 2007, built on the northern edge of the town at Cuckoo Farm off the main A12 road to London, although direct access onto the motorway is still not completed.
The total cost of £14m was mostly financed by the local borough council who own the stadium. Revenue was also raised by the club, with grants from the Football Foundation, local government and the East of England Development Agency.
The stadium is sponsored by Weston Homes in a £2m corporative deal which covers the next ten years and has an overall capacity of just over 10,000.
The stadium was completed in July 2008 with the opening match taking place on the 8th August with Athletic Bilbao providing the opposition, beating The U’s 2-1 in a pre-season friendly.
The stadium consists of four separate stands, the North, South and East Stands are all equal in size with the Main Stand slightly larger comprising of executive boxes, sponsors suites and lounges. There’s a set of skinny floodlights in the open corners with the ground decked out in primarily blue seats and white trimmings. The North Stand is now the away end although Millwall also took up almost half of the East Stand. The South Stand also differs slightly having a large police control box in one corner.

My Essex weekend went from the bottom end of League One at Southend on Saturday to the top end of the table with play off hopefuls Colchester up against Millwall, who are timing there automatic promotion push perfectly with eleven wins out of the last fourteen matches coming into this fixture.
Both clubs seem to be heading in opposite directions as United have now gone eight games without a win as Millwall go marching on thanks to a touch of good fortune, taking the three points thanks to a late own goal by Danny Batth.

The match was finely poised throughout with both teams carving out several good chances in the opening period, but it was Millwall who took the lead just before half time when Steve Morison picked up the ball wide on the right before cutting inside and firing his low shot wide of Williams.
Colchester felt they should have gone in at the break level, however five minutes after the restart they were. Millwall ‘keeper David Forde failed to take a routine catch, allowing the ball to fall to the feet of the lurking Kevin Lisbie who was left with a simple task of knocking the ball into an unguarded net.
Millwall went close with a Morison header, a Schofield effort and a Neil Harris header was cleared off the line, while United had chances through Vincent, Lisbie and a Prutton free kick.
Then on 78 minutes the decisive goal. Substitute Sean Batt’s right wing cross was met by on loan Wolves defender Batth, whose unchallenged looping header gave his keeper no chance.
Millwall saw out the remaining ten minutes with help from the shameless Millwall fans in the East Stand, purposely keeping the ball on five occasions when going out for a throw-in. This added to the home sides frustration with an Izzet free kick the closest they came to grabbing a point.
This win stretches The Lions unbeaten run to nine games, so if this good run of form continues and if I finally get around to visiting The New Den next season, it’s looking more likely to be in the Championship than League One.
