I'm going to Bergen for a week tomorrow to visit a lovely lassie and apparently Brann fans are really cool. I'm planning on hitting the Three Lions English Pub for the Scottish Cup semifinal on the 13th for one thing, but is there anywhere cool to go in my Aberdeen top to shoot the poo poo with some Brann people and trade chants or whatever?

Fotballpuben http://www.fotballpuben.no/ is a good place to start. Corner of Vestre Torggaten and Håkonsgaten in the city centre.

I've not actually lived in Bergen for a couple of years but I'm pretty sure the go-to place is still Fotballpuben (which as you've probably figured out means "the Football Pub"). Other than that about half the pubs in Bergen are sports places and like to send Brann matches; if you start at Fotballpuben, and go towards Three Lions you'll probably pass half a dozen of them. Brann has an away game on Friday at 1900, that's probably a good day to wander around the city centre looking for people wearing red.

Norling wants him to be more involved going forward, but he just looks so clueless whenever he gets the ball and brings all momentum to a halt. Meanders around for a while before passing back to the defenders. Or to the other team. :sigh:

I like that Norling doesn't seem afraid of benching people when they're not working out, though! Welcome change from the last few years.

Ace, cheers fellas. If anyone's around and sees a tall bloke with long hair in an Aberdeen top I'll be happy to buy you a drink. If it's not too expensive. gently caress sakes.

I also like that he seems to be able to do needed changes early, and not wait until 75 minutes has passed until making offensive changes if we're in need of goals. Also, even though we lost, so was the football shown on Sunday the most fun to watch since 2011 at least. If we can continue like that, and also start converting chances into goal, it'll be a good season.

Sarpsborg FK and decently old-school-cool-named club Sparta merged and formed the team with the idiotic and amazingly boring name sarpsborg 08. now S08 and a somehow revived SFK are meeting in the cup? this annoys me much more than it probably should

I hate it. But slightly less than if I were watching it instead of listening to it on the radio in my office.

Edit: got to watch the last 20 minutes, they were actually quite enjoyable

So Nicki Bille apparently "did a Suarez" and bit a cop in Copenhagen this weekend. This is in addition to being his usual havoc-causing self. I wonder if RBK have the balls to take action against him this time. He was back at training on saturday and is in the squad vs Glimt at least.

Edit: No he's not, just saw that he's been dropped from the squad, and won't play for RBK until the matter is resolved. Bye bye Bille.

Yeah, it's utterly strange. And it even happened without conceding a stupid goal or two, so I don't really know how to feel about this. Lurgy, could you perhaps give us a few pointers?

I thought we were really loving good. 2-2 might be a fair result even though we were cheated out of third from Riskis sabotaging.
