two days in the life of a football aficionado

As promised, now I've got a lot of things to tell you, concerning the last two and a half days. The day before yesterday, we went to Wörgl to watch the football game. Normally it takes you about one hour to get from Salzburg to Wörgl by car, but thanks to a traffic jam near Chiemsee, it took us about one hour and a half (some guys from Ried who wanted to see the match too had it even worse, they did not see the first match half). The Sportplatz Wörgl is just great. Everything is so old fashioned, boring and not worthy of a team that plays in a pro league. About 300 people watched the game (50-70 from Ried) that was more than once disturbed by heavy rainfalls.

What you see on the picture above is a faked interview scene with the Premiere anchorman and myself. When we asked him kindly to act as if he interviewed us, he was very friendly and agreed immediately. This was just a nice action, because maybe we'll never see that "stadium again. If we are relegated to the Bundesliga. What is looking very promising at the moment, we won the game 2-1 (after a quite bad performance) while hardest opponent FC Kärnten lost to Kapfenberg 0-2. Now we've got an eight-points-cushion against Kapfenberg, Kärnten is already eleven points back. Any only five more games remaining - I am already looking forward to the next game tomorrow against Wörgl again, but this time in the Fill Metallbau Stadion (that's the name of our stadium). The last time we played Wörgl at home, we beat them 3-0, and I am confident we can hopefully esceed this score this time.

That's it for the Wörgl game, let's move over to the FH football tournament in Wiener Neustadt. Here's the chronology of Wednesday, 4th of May, 2005:

4.30 a.m. (no mistype) - got up, packed my sports bag, brushed my teeth and left my flat.

4.45 a.m. - arrived at the OMV petrol station where the bus should fetch us and take us to the south of Vienna.

4.50 a.m. - we were only two players so far (the second was the other forward), so we thought about being kidded - but a few seconds later another two players and the bus arrived. We should have left Salzburg at 4.45 a.m., but


NOW I'M REALLY PISSED OFF, BECAUSE THE REST OF THE BLOG WAS FUCKED UP. GREAT! THIRTY MINUTES OF WORK LOST IN THE DIGITAL NIRVANA!
