WEEK 27 REVIEW....
UGLY SOCCER AND UGLY TURKISH SUPER LEAGUE!.....
My good friend Oz Kanka, who has a blog about Ankara teams from Turkey has said "Certainly is getting depressing being a Genclerbirligi fan"after Genclerbirligi lost to Trabzonspor on Saturday,
Well , after watching the two big matches live on Lig TV , I, my self is very depressed and mad , after what I saw . It was a boring and ugly soccer!. on top all that, on Lig TV, I have seen a team president and a coach like a mad dog, going after the referee and cursing with four letter words on live TV broadcast. It is shame that a Caykur Rizespor president has to use that kind of foul language after a match!.. This is ugly league! I do not enjoy it!....
Despite the ugly soccer Besiktas within four points.....
Besiktas have closed to within four points of Fenerbahce after the Turkish Turkcell Super League leaders were held to a 2-2 draw at Kayserispor.They needed a 90th-minute equaliser from substitute Deivid to get even that, having seen the hosts come from behind.Tuncay Sanli had opened the scoring for Fener in the 13th minute but Kayserispor replied with goals from Leonardo (45) and Kemal Okyay (70).In an eventful finish to the match, Fener also had Edu Dracena sent off.
Besiktas made sure to profit as Ricardinho's eighth-minute penalty was enough for victory over Caykur Rizespor.
Caykur also had Beshir El Tabei sent off in the final minute.The day's other game was a seven-goal thriller as Trabzonspor edged out Genclerbirligi 4-3.Trabzonspor took a 2-0 lead with goals from Ersen Martin (4) and Gokdeniz Karadeniz (22) but the visitors responded as Engin Baytar found the net in the 28th minute.
Trabzonspor restored their two-goal advantage in the 47th minute when Martin grabbed his second but two quick goals - an Okan Ozturk penalty and a Mehmet Cakir strike - levelled the game.
However, it was eventually decided when Karadeniz scored from the penalty spot in the 62nd minute.
There was still time for more drama as Trabzonspor's Erdinc Yavuz was sent off in the final minute.IT'S NOW TWO HORSE RACE!
