Galatasaray show some pride

I read a report recently into a study made on football managers in the English Premier League where they put a heart rate monitor on the manager during the match and kept a record of his heart rate. Sam Allardyce the Bolton Manager was one of the test subjects and his heart rate went up to 180bpm during times of stress. Well I am glad I was not being monitored during todays Galatasaray match as I would probably have blown up the monitor.

Galatasaray won the match 4-2 against Erciyes Kayserispor but they made a hard job of it in the end. Of course the result could have been settled earlier than it was as the referee and linesman were the only people in Ali Sami Yen not to see the Michael Jordan manouever by the Erciyes defender when he "saved" a goal bound header on the line. This should of course resulted in a red card and a penalty. As it was we had to rely on a piece of bravery by Umit Karan to get the all important third goal. All in all a reasonably good performance and Gerets for once showing commendable bravery in his substitutions.

Just finished watching the Fulham Chelski match which Fulham won 1-0. Is it me or are Chelsea not only a boring team to watch but a nasty one as well and Drogba is just a cheat. When he is not diving to get players sent off he is playing basketball and behaving like this is the right thing to do. Watching the match left a bad taste in my mouth I have to say.

Anyway bye for now everyone.
