2011 -- We're back! 31. Jan 11 / 11:43 Comments (0) Jeejee oleme tagasi edasi keskele jkjölkjlkjköl- jhkjhkjh hghjghjgjhghg blaah We met Mary and her family next morning about 9.30 am in Harrow. Before it we had holiday-schedule-troubled (but successful) tube-trip. We took earliest trains what were available (Circle line leaving Liverpool street 9.40, change to Metropolitan line at Baker street with few panic (I say – too many Metropolitan platforms!)). At last were Tafka and aiFo in Freelander moving to the north with Mary, her husband and mother-in-law. Goodbye London! We arrived to Sunderland few minutes after 1pm. Flick had made a booking for us in Travelodge, so we paid our bill, dropped our bags to the room and moved to the Deaf club for pre-match pints and meet Manuel who organized match tickets for us. Everything worked out well and after some time we were at SOL – South Stand this time. Boxing day match vs Leeds United. For me it was first time to see stadium crowded over 40 000 people. It really looked very much like full house. Atmosphere was superb and Leeds team played like... Ermm... Anyway it looked like whatever happen with SAFC promotion race this season we’ll not see Leeds Utd next season again. But even Leeds played shite, I didn’t enjoyed Sunderland play at first half. This Keano’s tactics to play many players out of their position, to see our defence line far from confident (Nyatanga!), Dwight Yorke’s mysterious role in team (having great chance he never shoots at target, always passing ball away)... At first it really looked like team is making it difficult for themselves. Ok, if I’m calmed down I can understand that we have injury crisis, Nyatanga is still very young and maybe it’s smart to have experienced player in middle who isn’t shooting on target every time he gets a chance (we have Leadbitter for this k

No Five-In-A-Row... 14. Jun 06 / 17:53 Comments (0) Estonian-Finnish SAFC Supporters team failed to complete their fifth successful win over NUFC fans of Estonia. After interesting and passionate match it ended with 0-2 loss against stronger as ever magpies side. Mackems were under pressure since the match was kicked off, but as building their tactics to counter attack nothing dangerous happened, until mags got their goal from well placed shot in the end of first half. Second half was much more attacking from Mackems side, but sadly were skunks again the lucky side for scoring in the end of the game. It was the very first time for mags to get win over Esto-Finnish Mackems. Next match will be played next year in Finland. The revenge will come! (and hopefully match report and more pictures as well :))

We Always Win 2-1!!! How long? ;) 24. Jul 05 / 21:37 Comments (0) Estonian-Finnish SAFC branch got another great victory in a game what was more like "shoot the Mackems goal as long as you can (and all the time)!"-game. Well supported Mackems team met a heaviest opponent ever. Magpies had a highly motivated team full of talented players, but sadly (ok, it depends on side ;)) Estonian mags had no cover from Finland (AGAIN!) and they needed to play with one substitute only. As one magpie said after the match, losing a game wasn't half as sad as the RESULT! You can get match report here.

An Englishman in Estonia 28. Nov 04 / 14:23 Comments (0) Several months after fan match aiFo finally found some time to put up story about our Sunderland friends crazy trip to Estonia helping us beat the skunks.

Nobody (except Flicky:)) knows what happened in last part of their trip, how did they return to Wearside, why Monk haven't finished his story, will they ever return to Estonia...? Ok, here you can find a little story about lads who accidentally have became a well-known poster stars of Legion of Light ;) Clicky!
