Sporting League: game 17
Yop Lane came back from two goals down to win by four goals to two against a rudderless Bayerns.
Bayerns boss: ‘ The players were quiescent in the second half..I can’t explain it. You know when you play those computer games where ‘player two’ isn’t selected? That was us. We were just running around without direction. No excuses…’
Sporting Radio pundit Y: ‘A lot of supporters have nine to five jobs. This game is a religion, they spend all their wages on their teams so I can see why they get frustrated, but they also need to give the new boss a chance. I don’t see what good venomous abuse is going to do even before the new coaches have parked themselves in the dugout. Red Star made some poor purchases last year – now they’re paying the price. The fans have to accept that they’re going to be a mid-table team for a few years.’ Red Star went on to win away to Chamber Athlete by two goals to one.
Sporting Radio Pundit R:’I get the feeling that the same impact of playing in The Sporting League kind of lacks the early buzz of the 1980.’
Pundit S: ‘I don’t agree. Look, I think there is a bit of an undercurrent at the moment, things are changing. Look, we’ve had teams like Novia, Delta and Olby winning in recent years. I only see that as a positive thing. You walk through Sporting City at midnight, the place is buzzing at the moment. I don’t get where it gets a reputation for being a sterile place. OK – it’s not the same as going for the nightlife in Athletico or underground scenes happening in Universo and Pointeso, but things are happening.’
