Dodgy Clocks and Water Logged Pitches


This game took place on the 29th April, and when I came home from it was when I realised my computer had been broken.


The game took place between FK Obolon and Helios Kharkiv. Recently Obolon seemed to have been bottling it quite badly, as they often do in the second half of the season and they have been overtaken by Illichevets in first place. However, this game went some way in dispelling rumours that they were to start throwing games as they won this hard fought battle 2-0.


The weather conditions were less than ideal and me and Andriy got the soaking of our lives. This didn't seem to bother the referee though, or he wasn't wearing a waterproof watch, or for some reason he wasn't aware that football matches go on for 45 minutes a half rather than an hour. Either way he didn't have the best of matches and sent off 2 players (1 from each team) for sliding tackles, which the slippery pitch made look a lot worse than they really were.


Obolon created plenty of chances and Helios a few, but they were unable to take advantage for the period that they had an extra player on the pitch.


You could tell the weather was terrible, as you know you are at a hardcore match when Hardcore Boy and Karpaty Grandad are the first 2 people you see when you enter the ground.
