SUNDAY REVIEW:WATCHING TURKISH SOCCER ON TV IS NO FUN!.....I am going to be bold and talk about the times of the matches and Tv soccer programs and Lig TVs "Maraton" program.
it was 12 midnight in Turkey and 5:00 afternoon in New York when Galatasaray v Anakaragucu match ended... and Maraton program just started... if people want to watch other games highlights, they have to wait until 3 am in Turkey and 8:00pm at New york time...while fans in Turkey have sleepless Sunday night before Monday's work day ..it is very hard for people like me who is watching it here in United States.
Because, it is summer and most people like me,like to spend time out doors,during the day.... That's why,I only watched Galatasaray match and did not stay to watch those nonsense soccer TV programs goes for hours...I think that is absurd in my opinion!....I hope they fix this in hurry!..because this is real pain for the viewers!and they are not watching these programs!....
Back to Sunday matches,,,,,Gaatasaray jst like Fenerbahce and Besiktas scored one goal and captured the three points and the league's top place back from Besiktas.
The match was played behind Closed doors in Ali Samiyen Stadium and Lincoln scored the only goal in the 22th minute of the match and the match ended with this score too... If Ankaragucu had power forwards in this match,they would score against Galatasaray team.... Their attacker were really week!....
Another team who was punished by TFF 5 games behind Closed Doors Trabzonspor, won the match against Caykur Rizespor 5-1. TFF still did not announced the decision about Sivasspor match..... They did punish them with 5 games with no fans, but, Tff is late making their decision Sivasspor match .... According to Fifa rules Trabzonspor should lose that match although they were winning 1-0 and only thirty seconds left to play when referee of the match suspended the match.
We will wate for this late decision by TFF..
Elsewhere on Sunday,Kayserispor beat Kasimpasa...score 2-0.... In this match, the Kayserispor fans were Abdullah Gul's mask!.....This why,politics rule Turkish soccer..
In Denizli , Denizlispor beat their neighbor Vestel Manisaspor 3-2 . In Ankara. Ankaraspor drew with Konyaspor 1-1.
At the end of the third week, Galatasaray on top with perfect score and points (9points). Besiktas on second with same points..... Kayseispor on third with seven points and Trabzon,Istanbul B.B,Ankaragucu and Fenerbahce follows Keyserispor with 6 points.On the Bottom of the barrel,Kasimpasa an Caykur Rizespor yet to earn any points yet....
WOOD WORKS SAVES FENERBAHCE AND INJURY TIME LUCK FOR BESIKTAS!....Although Roberto Carlos scored the Fenerbahce's only and his first ever TSL goal there were two shots came of of woodworks of Fenerbahce goal. if those were in the goal we could not talked about Fenerbahce's win and Roberto Carlos first goal. Let me say this , When the aces of Fenerbahce players on the pitch with Carlos , they do not run!....they seem to play more slower soccer.....this could be trouble for Fener in coming days!... any team takes advantage of Roberto Carlos side of field ,they will give Fenerbahce hard time. Carlos , in my opinion, slows the game down....he does not run ,,,when he goes up, he is late coming back !..Zico, has to watch this!...
As far as Besiktas, they were saved by 16 years old striker Batuhan Karadeniz, in the last second of the injury time in Gaziantep. Now, I am sure every soccer writer, who has a corner in the major news paper will take this kid, to sky-limit with their remarks!...that could be disaster for this kids future in my opinion!... Rookie coach Ertugrul Saglam, took Delgado out in the 63th minute and put Batuhan in the match....I know one thing, if Batuhan ,didn't score that goal for Besiktas , every body would be trashing Ertugrul Saglam for taken out Delgado from the match Today!..... I think ,Saglam escaped a fire again this week....... just like he did last week too!....How long this rabbit will jump!.... I don't know..I know one thing, Saglam has to play Delgado and give his confidence back!...he will need him in the Champions League matches, Because Batuhan Karadeniz will not save him in the CL......
Elswere on Saturday, Burasaspor won in a way in Ankara and they beat Genclerbirligi ...score Bursa 3- Gencler 1
In Istanbul, Istanbul Municipality team beat League's another newcomer Gencler Oftas 1-0.
