Illuminati-R-Us

Bit of good news, Hertha won 1 - 0 in Meppen. Hertha-ish-like, with a late winning header after a corner. Let's pretend we didn't see it.


Played 9, won 4, drawn 2, lost 3.

Oh Barry Shitpeas and his magic hat. We got it back to 2-2 then gave away two quick goals.

Rangers 1 - 2 Malmo

Played 10, won 4, drawn 2, lost 4

Oh COME ON Rangers! At home to friendly unasuming Southern Swedes? Mayunn!

Cunting pissflaps, we’ve got the Pars in the Wee Cup tonight. Anything less than a three goal win is a loss.

Rangers 5 - 0 Dunfermline Athletico

Fuck them and Peter Grant right in the fuckhole.

Played 11, won 5, drawn 2, lost 4

Woo! 45% or so wins!

I’m wondering if we could/should include Harris Football Club in our count. I trained with them when I lived there in the early 1980s and have enthusiastically followed them ever since. They are amateur (in the Lewis & Harris League) so perhaps not lofty enough?

Oh, we'll do something about that. Greuther face off against Stuttgart today, Hertha play Cologne tomorrow. Both away matches.

All for it. The thread title is, Which sports team do you support, not Which Big Fucking Big City Big Pro Club With Shitloads of Money And a Greedy Band of Capitalists At the Top do you support.

Although... They DO win once in a while, I hope?

They win more often than RCC, but then who doesn't. It's a small league, so not many games in the scheme of things. I'll start including them. If nothing else, it'll be new weird team names for everybody to see.

Lovely. Where your heart is, there's our count.

We need a few wins here....

VfB Stuttgart 5 - 1 SpVgg Greuther Fürth

Played 12, won 5, drawn 2, lost 5

Well....

Carloway 1 - 3 Harris

Played 13, won 6, drawn 2, lost 5

That's the 'tude!

1. FC Köln 3 - 1 Hertha BSC

Note the utter lack of surprise...

Played 14, won 6, drawn 2, lost 6

Nuts.

Westside 4 - 1 Harris

Played 15, won 6, drawn 2, lost 7.

Rangers 1 - 0 Armenoslavs

We went down to ten men and still beat them.

Played 16, won 7, drawn 2, lost 7

A win, excellent. Harris are playing at home tonight, and I’m in the Western Isles so could conceivably go and watch. They’ll be getting beaten by Back, who Scotland international, Rangers player and arsehole pundit Andy Gray used to play for.

That seems to be a rather routine occurrence with our Rangers, does it not?

Well we should, shouln't we

In other news, Hertha are at home to one of last year's strongest teams, Wolfsburg, and Greuther have their first real test, a Kellerduell (basement duel) against Deutscher Sport Club Arminia from The City That Does Not Exist (Bielefeld). Even though Bielefeld does not even exist, it is quite posssible they'll beat my Greuther in their own stadium.

Less common these days, it was a team who beat us that was down to ten men last week.

First IrU Derby of the season tomorrow, in Dingwall.

It will probably go as well for me as this did:

Harris 0 - 5 Back

Played 17, won 7, drawn 2, lost 8.

Ouch. More trouble ahead over the weekend.

Remind me why we added Harris?

Well, for all their wins, of course...

Errrm. OK. Where your heart is, there's our count is what I said IIRC.
