Hello again!
Well it's finally Friday, once more, and the weekend beckons. This weekend looks like being a slow, quiet version, with only ninety minutes of swearing at talentless, headless chickens to boost my adrenaline on Sunday afternoon. No, I'm not going to sit through a session in Parliament; I'm going to watch my beloved losers at Lillestrøm SK make another attempt at winning a game of football. As long as they don't lose, I suppose I'll be happy enough. Once again I must ask myself, why oh why do I bother...
One of the semi finals in the Norwegian Cup was played last night, between league champions Rosenborg and 2nd division Skeid. you'd have thought it would be a rout, but it wasn't. Skeid put up a good fight, and Ræv BK really had to fight for the win. Surprisingly, the Football Association decided to give Rosenborg the advantage of playing at home in the semi final, as strangely has been the case the last ten times they've played in the semi finals. Bit of a coincidence, eh?
Have a good weekend!
News from all over the place!
*Verdens Gang reports on poverty in the USA in a rare specimen of good, tabloid newspaper reporting.
*The Pope is dying, according to an Austrian cardinal yesterday
*Horniest, most atheist, a nation of complaining morons are things about us Norwegians I have established in the latter weeks. Today's amazing survey reveals that in addition to all that, Norwegian men are tha fattest in Europe as well, according to today's survey by the WHO. Here it is in English.
*Oslo police officer sacked for shagging at work. Apparently he's been having it off with three female colleagues, as well as trying to get into bed with a Latvian asylum seeker. See? I told you we are a horny bunch!
*Happy environmental news! There's a new pack of wolves on the loose in our woods. Wolves are few and far between, but numbers are increasing steadily. Now, it appears, there is a whole new family of wolves roaming the woods. Hooray for my favourite animal (apart from the penguins, obviously)
*Unemployment rates hit new heights. Our conservative government has lowered the interest rates, but completely lost control over the unemployment. There are now 21% more unemployed than one year ago. Now 93,000 people are completely unemployed here, which is a cool 60,000 more than just a few years ago. Hooray for those conservative bastards, eh?
*Finally! After a dry few days on that front, another absurd story pops up from the wonderful Norwegian Heimat. This time a guy from the small town of Florø on the west coast has been sent down for 18 days for frightening the townsfolk wearing a devil mask while he was pissed. That would've scared me too. Imagine, you walk down the street when suddenly someone appears looking exactly like the devil himself. Oooh, spooky.
*Meanwhile, the news of Arnold's admiration for Hitler have reached our shores. He's getting all the bad press he deserves over here.
Oj, Rosenborg fikk hjemmekamp i cupen i år igjen!
De har jammen flaks, ikke sant? Kanskje det bare er meg, men jeg synes det er en skandale at RBK skal favoriseres til enhver tid. I tillegg til de ekstra inntektene de får av å spille hjemmekamp i både 1. serierunde, 16. mai og siste serierunde hvert eneste år, får de i tillegg hjemmekamp i cupsemifinalen hver gang også. For ikke å snakke om at de får vennligsinnede dommere. Dommeren i gårsdagens kamp forskjellsbehandlet også de to lagene. Eksempel: Brattbakk utfører sin tredje stygge og seine takling på under fem minutter i det han hindrer en kontring, men får ikke så mye som tilsnakk en gang. Senere i kampen får Skeids unge spiss Mohammed Abdellaoi gult kort for en bitteliten trekking i trøya i midtsirkelen!
Bare la meg få si dette før noe annet: Jeg hater Rosenborg. Jeg er en av de fornuftige som aldri har heia på dette møkkalaget i Champions League eller akseptert den latterlige remsa om at de er "hææile Nårges Oooossebårr, sainnt-ja!". Faen om de er. Brenn lenge, trøndere!
LSK skal forsøke å sikre plassen i Tippeligaen hjemme mot Viking til søndag. Jeg kan ikke si jeg gleder meg nevneverdig til det. Samtidig: Taper LSK denne kampen samtidig som VIF, Lyn og Molde vinner, så er det kanskje bare fire poeng ned til direkte nedrykk. Og med det spillet LSK har vist i det siste...vel, kampen skal spilles først. Men Arne Erlandsen bør ta sin hatt og gå etter denne sesongen. Han har tatt klubben så langt han kommer.
God helg ;)
