It should have been played in front of empty stadium which requires much less resources from the police. In the same time, Arsenal should seek compensation from the government for lost revenue as it was their decision which has led to that situation.

It just through pure luck (expulsion of Russia) that our team qualified for the play-off. We weren't able to defeat at home Montengro (lost 2-3) and drew against both Malta and Azerbaijan away (1-1 both). If we would have won those matches, I would be at least somewhat confident. The team played muc...

SFK 2000 Sarajevo (BiH) had easy time with Birkirkara (MLT) winning 4-0 with goals coming from four different players. The first goal was a beauty, while the third goal also came from a nice action. The mini-tournament of group 7 is being played in Cluj on the Cluj Arena. For reasons unknown to me, ...

In that case the referee, who is responsible to make sure the rules of the game are being followed, will be punished for not noticing it and that is all. That is how I see the situation.

Rapid will postpone their league game vs Hartberg. If they qualify for ECL group stage, all Bundesliga teams which don't play in a group stage will receive 1.5% of Rapid's revenue. That rule was introduced in 2021 by Bundesliga for play off games only. Rapid is the first team to make use of it. 1,5...

Interesting. Over here the away team bus is almost always escorted with at least one Police vehicle within the city and as such often cut of the rest of the traffic. Of course, if there is a gridlock, then even police-escort can't help.

I'm surprised you aren't full coming up against a European Giant like Dundee United Somehow at European matches of AZ there are always (much) less fans in the stadium, then at league matches. Even though ticket prices are usually lower for European matches. Against Tuzla City there were only about ...

Željezničar Sarajevo 1-1 Široki Brijeg 40' 1-0 Santos 90+5' 1-1 B. Vukoja Grbavica stadium, Sarajevo Attendance: ~8000 Report Once again an unsatisfactory result in even better atmosphere then the first game. We were the better team and had the lead for most of the game. Our goal came in the 40th m...

North Macedonia still having the possibility to avoid bottom 5 and even just through the qualifying phase i.e. winning all four matches. I don't see it happening but the chance is there.

Zrinjski (if they win against Tobol) against Olympiacos/Slovan. My guess is Slovan which is probably the strongest opponent to be drawn. Zrinjski got unlucky but lets see them passing Tobol first.

Do they have VAR in Jerevan, Vilnius...? It is a shame though, I enjoyed matches in the first two rounds, refs with authority, no waiting for anything... Bcs of the Nations League they should have at least one venue for VAR. In Bosnia and Herzegovina they make a temporary VAR system when it is requ...

I was on the game yesterday between Tuzla City and AZ. Around 5000-6000 people on the match, 90% people from Sarajevo who just wanted to watch a bit of football and as such the attendance is quite good. Tuzla City held their ground in the first half and had one great chance when one of their player ...

I also prefer the standing area for fans. A lot of our stadiums have them. Who wants to seat should go to the opera. :grin1: Well, I was standing when I was on the south stand but after some incidents which happened around 2014-2015 I decided to step back from it :D this season I bought the season ...

Considering standing places are allowed in our league, I was always confused that the clubs want to put seats even on the part where the ultras are. Even when I write on our local forum, people are like that it would be "unfair" to the fans

I just wrote how it would go over here. If the government of the FBiH will finance something in Sarajevo, in order to get approval in the assembly, a similar sized investment has to be made in Herzegovina (maybe we could get away that it doesn't have to be a stadium). In other case, the approval wou...
