He scored against us though, but he didn't celebrate. He's still a lovable dude although he's a bit poo poo.

Kjetil Wæhler is out of contract after this season. He plans to move to Oslo and play in the Tippeliga. Strømgodset, Stabæk or Vålerenga up next?

Solskjær not yet fired in Cardiff and there's already talk of how he'll fit in with Rosenborg(to which the answer seems to be: he doesn't). I'm scared.

Why are you scared? He obviously didn't cut it in England, but he's got a pretty good track record here, even though he had tons of money and a great squad to work with in Molde. Which he'll have in RBK too.

In today's RBK he'll also have what appears to be a boardroom and an administration to rival the worst Brann's ever had (and we've had some terrible ones hello Lambert Wulf).

Yeah, but that'll go for whoever RBK gets.


Also I don't get how people like Hoftun in RBK and Bruun-Hanssen in Brann still have their job. It seems like you basically have to do something illegal to lose your job in administration in this league, no matter how incompetent you are.

Im not so worried about Solskjærs abilities. But Hes not a 4-3-3 guy so half the board of directors will hate him from day 1, as will a few fans. Eggen has put his name forward again so we'll probably get 1 year out of him and add another decade of "we need someone like eggen" mentality.

I think the best RBK could possibly do for the future is burn down "brakka" with Hoftun & co in it.

New round kicking off today:

Friday 19/9:
19:00 Brann - Sandnes Ulf

Saturday 20/9:
15:30 Bodø/Glimt - Strømsgodset
18:00 Vålerenga - Molde

Sunday 21/9:
15:30 Viking - Start
18:00 Aalesund - Stabæk
18:00 Lillestrøm - Odd
18:00 Sarpsborg 08 - Sogndal
20:00 Haugesund - Rosenborg

Brann - Sandnes, Glimt - Godset and Vålerenga - Molde looks like the most fun games this round. Hopefully we've gotten our defence together against Molde. I highly doubt so - so Kjartansson will have to score a hattrick again.

Well that match kind of sucked. I'm starting to think we should just start Sævarsson instead of Huseklepp on the wing.

Nothings better than just getting your seat a minute into the match and see your best defender getting sent off and concede from the following penalty. Just dandy. Longest 90 minutes I've experienced yet.

Nice, three more points :getin:

Shame about the ref being utter poo poo, denying Pellegrino his first goal for LSK. Missed what should perhaps been a red card for Steffen Hagen as well when he tackled Pellegrino from behind earlier in the half. Both times the ref was on the opposite half, way too far away from the situation to get a clear view of what happened.

It was the first time I've seen him, and he was great. Really Impressed by his physique and how he bossed his teammates around. Hopefully he won't have his legs broken by some poo poo clogger he's embarrassed.

Admittedly only watched the second half of that match, but Huseklepp has been decent to good on the right flank, with an occassional poor match. Sævarsson has been bad to meh. I'd rather see Sævarsson sold off in winter, he has no place in Norling's team.

Oslo city council approved the preliminary agreement between Vålerenga Fotball and Oslo kommune about the handover of the stadium site. Now it is up to Vålerenga to get the money and start building.

Sigh. When we're good we're probably one of the best teams in the league, but the days when we don't have all our players "on" we're incredibly poo poo.

I'm still cofident we will get the 6th place.

Some clubs luckier than others I see...kinda wish we got Ulvestad but not too surprising. Doing a lol at Ulrik Flo. Actually a lot of these are strange choices, also why not every TL club? Leaving out RBK/Molde is especially weird.

RBK declined because they were afraid it would "water down their brand" :wtc: . Molde declined due to a clash with sponsor agreements I believe.

Welp it was time that the odds where against us, we have had plenty of matches where we have been the lucky ones this season so can't complain too much. Really makes me miss us not having a goalgetter up front though...

But guess it's bye bye to any chance to end up with a medal though :smith:

I rarely complain about refereeing but the last three matches have been ridiculous. The decision to send off Londak, who didn't even make any contact with Høyland (Brede Moe did), was baffling. And then there's the penalty claims against Rosenborg and Godset. The refereeing standard in tippeligaen is a joke.

I think some of the problem is that we don't have "professional" referees. NFF should make it possible for referees to have this as a full-time job, and have them do courses/training/workshops off season.

Høgmo got his head out of his arse and selected Ødegaard for the international squad at least. When a player dominates the league that hard, noone should care about him being old enough or not. I could quote Drillo, but that would mean mentioning him and Høgmo in the same paragraph and that would just make me sad.
