Hi From Drogheda in Ireland

**Çakır** · 21.03.2007, 08:33

In summary, the column mentions about the friendship of Trabzonspor and Drogheda United fans, and it comments that it is a very rare and original situation. It tells about the common points of two teams, such as sharing the same colours, moon and star on the Drogheda club logo and geographical position of two cities in their countries (both cities locate on the north-east of their countries).

The friendly match between Drogheda United and Zenit also mentioned in the article. It comments, this match was the first time that Drogheda United fans meets a Turk, ex-Trabzonspor striker Fatih Tekke

The column informs the readers about the demand of Drogheda fans to watch a Trabzonspor match in Trabzon. The scarfs, flags and jerseys which we have sent to each other are also mentioned in the article. The column adds that bordomavi.net is the only place that Drogheda Utd and Trabzonspor supporters meet each other.

Later, Drogheda Utd is introduced to Turkish reader: "Goalkeeper Dan Connor is sponsored by the 'supporters association', when defender Graham Gartland is sponsored by lawyer Paddy Goodwin and forward Shane Barrett is sponspored by Jack&Jones. You have to pay 800 Euros to be the sponsor of a footballer you like. By the way, you are introduced to other Drogheda fans in the 'promotion book' of the club, and you are awarded with a jersey and a seasonal match ticket. Irish Premier League starts in March and it ends in November."

The title of the article is: Irish "Uşak"s! "Uşak" is a local word used in Trabzon, meaning "boy" or "man". This word is special to our region, and it is used only for the people belonging to our region. The title reflects that you are already the member of our family, you are the one of us...

**Drogster** · 24.03.2007, 13:39

Hi All

As already mentioned the Super Drogs won 3:2 away to Galway. It was sooooooooooo Sweet, for of a number of reasons.

1. The cancellation of the supporters bus on Thursday, which meant organising lifts for the gang that traveled over.

2. When we finally got going, and making good time on the road, hitting traffic at Kelbeggen & Moath (two villages along the route to Galway) which added a good 1.5 hours to our journey, which should take just over 2.5 hours.

3 The match official's performance.

We got there in the end, and just 2mins into the game Fitzy slotted home our 1st, being brave at the far post and getting the vital touch on the ball.

On the half-hour mark, Fabio headed passed the Galway keeper from a great pass curled in after being well controlled by Baker, that was No. 2.

We were in full control and then, it was like driving down the road and the gearbox of the car dropping out, no gears! After a number for very doggy decisions by the referee the Drogs just seem to loose all gears and were struck in neutral, a bit of a Dr Jackal and Mr Hyde situation. Everytime a drog player went in to make a challenge for the ball, the ref gave everything Galways way and started flashing out the yellow cards, with the Galway players getting away scotch free, and a minute into added time to the 1st half a very doggy free was awarded to Galway, which was swung it and Galway got their 1st.

2nd Half, Ref at his trick again and as a result the drogs started getting nervy and it resulted where afraid to look at the ball never mind challenge for it. And needless to say, Byrne went up for a ball collided with a Galway player, yes it was a free but did not warrant a card. Anyway, out flashed a second yellow, followed by the red, to all the Drogs amazement.

Down to ten men, then Dan (our keeper) smashed into JG (our defender) and went off injured. Fabio was replaced by Zayed and Whelan on for Fitzy, and it time to get struck in and regain control of the game.

And thats what we did. The pace and strength of Zayed was just to much, but when he did break thought on goal the lineman flagged, and flagged and flagged again. I was in line with at least 3 of the decisions and i think the Lineman better read up on the off-side rule.

We pushed on with Zayed and Whelan breaking from mid-field and in the 5th minute of added time we got a free kick, which was sent in and met by Zayed to knock home the winner........OH ya!

It was a hard fought game, which was not aided by the Match Officials and to me the 3rd goal (especially 5mins into added time) was a real two figured salute to them.

3 more points to but on the board and time to look forward to the return Glentoran Match (Setanta Cup) on Monday night, where we hope to kick up another 3pts.

Very eventful match and it made the hassle traveling over slip away and made the road home that little bit shorter. We all got home safe and thats the main thing.

Take care & we'll be in touch,

From all the Claret & Blue Family in Drogheda
