I can't wait for it all to end, I've had enough. Hey now, you did stay up, some positivity is in order. I mean, just imagine you were supporting Brann or Sandnes Ulf and you'll cheer right up.

It would be bad for the league." gently caress that, I want RBK, LSK and Brann down one division. Not for the unforseen future, but one season would be nice. "Bad for the league" ... pfft. It's bad for the league to have alot of teams underachieving and loving up the economy. In other news: On the 12th of November NFF/NTF will reveal the report that Hypercube made and tell us how the Tippeliga will look like in a few years. My guess is 10 teams, three ordinary rounds, one round with a split and possibly a playoff. Just to mess with our heads.

Well I certainly see the point being made about having big cities represented in the top flight, it's where you'll likely find most fans. And with the distances we have in Norway it's a lot easier to create rivalries between big cities. When you get 7 people from Sarpsborg showing up at Lerkendal you almost feel bad for them. VIF and Brann always make a bit of a ruckus when they're in town. But if you play like poo poo and get relegated you can blame yourself for that and have fun in the league formerly known as Adecco.

Seems like we're going to struggle to stay up next year unless we get a lot of money for Badou and Sane. The board are very serious about not spending money they don't have so it's likely we'll rather go down before spending anything substantial on players. The positive thing is that a lot of garbage players will leave and Ibba will score a hat trick again against VIF regardless

Press conference going on right now regarding new league structures. They're careful to note that these are just suggested solutions, but it seems rather clear that they want to cut the number of teams.

I disagree with almost everything and this is making me very bad so I won't say much more about it. I'm eagerly awaiting the reactions when we go into the first season with those idiot playoffs and half of the big clubs are in the playoffs to go down and small clubs no one cares about like Godset, Molde and Odd are in the playoffs to win it.

I'm sure glad they want the cup final half a year after the semi-final in the middle of a new season to ensure no one will care. Also, can't wait for what changes they'll suggest in five years when a tiny nation full of poorly run clubs with terrible economy inexplicably still isn't a European powerhouse.

Was gonna post about how Brann would probably approve of the changes because it distracts people from looking at the real reason big Norwegian clubs like Brann are underperforming both domestically and internationally, which is poor leadership, then I discovered Roald Bruun-Hanssen was part of the committee that came forward with the structure analysis

WTF is this poo poo? Why can't they do something simple, like not having matches spread out over a 4 day period for one. Saturday and Sunday only, how hard can it be. Also, messing with the cup final? Let's kill off one of the last things that draw a sizeable crowd almost no matter what, great idea there... EDIT: Also, the talent development part, just look to what Iceland is currently doing. The amount of talent they produce compared to total population is impressive to say the least.

It pisses me so much off that everything they have done the last years boils down to making GBS threads on the supporters. One match at 18:00 on saturday, the rest at 18:00 on sundays, with maybe one at 20:00. Problem solved.

torjus posted:One match at 18:00 on saturday, the rest at 18:00 on sundays, with maybe one at 20:00. This, combined with getting the right potential out of the clubs. It's hardly a coincidence that the drop in interest happened in a period over a few years where big clubs like RBK, VIF, Brann, Viking and Lillestrøm have been medicore at best. And when all these supporters need to pay a lot more to watch their bad team play badly on a friday night I can understand why casual fans lose interest. Some of these poor fans even have to pay a lot of money to watch these bad teams on tv. Of course it won't work. These changes would never be suggested one or more of the big teams had been succesfull over the past few years but the league has been dominated by small clubs like Molde and Strømsgodset and that's why we can't have nice things. They want Norwegian clubs to get back into europe, I can't understand how this would help. Rosenborgs CL success will never happen again, and there's not enough money in the europa league for it to be lucrative.

If anything they should look to Sweden. Malmø may not be rocking the CL but they at least made it there, which is more than you can say for any Norwegian or danish teams. If they qualify next summer they can start building on their experiences and newly awarded uefa money. A few swe teams seem to have established themselves as perennial top teams if not title contenders. To think we used to look down on allsvenskan.

They want ONE team that is the "locomotive of norwegian football". Preferably that is Molde at the moment. Norwegian clubs should start looking at the European League as a possibility to get better - not a hassle that stands in the way of 6th place in the Tippeliga.

I've had a closer look at the Hypercube suggestions and the only thing I like is the proposal of adding a new third tier with two groups. This will push the existing third tier down one notch. 12 teams with playoff and playdown and whatnot. Bah, I tell you. BAH!

The last round of the Tippeliga 2014 kicks off today, and it is actually exciting! It will decide if Brann gets relegated, and less important, where the last medals will end up.

Most of the season has been pretty much nothing but a wet fart. Economic issues notwithstanding, the only things worth noting has been Brann's collapse and failure to relegate and Kjartansson's rather epic season. Bring on 2015!

Mjøndalen sent us down last time (in '85) and knocked us out of the cup last year, so we don't have the best history there. Looks like Barmen will be fine, thankfully.

Per Joar Hansen is available! After the great ending to our season it looks pretty much signed and sealed that Ingebrigtsen will get the main gig for us. You can't argue with his results(after the first two weeks anyway), but I can't help but feel we're doing the same mistake we've always been doing based on short term achievements(leading to short term firings). I'd love to be proved wrong, though! Best part is how Trond Sollied has been saying no to Rosenborg for years and years, and now that he wants the job he's not gonna get it.
