My friend and i have just returned from spending a few brilliant days and nights in the beautiful city of Budapest.
Whilst there we were taken to see a Ferencvaros TC game on Sunday evening. at the lovely wee Groupama Arena in Budapest.
We sat with families and friends of the players in a rather noisy bit of the stadium next to a few hundred away supporters making such a noise that it sounded
more like thousands.
The game was very entertaining and both sets of supporters singing the same songs to each other about their own team, which i found odd!
it didnt dawn on me till late in the first half just how little the referee had to do during the game.
There was no tripping the opposing player or pulling their jerseys, no knocking the ball out of play playing for time, or fouling either. Neither was there any questioning the referee when he stopped the game or gave a free kick. Just two teams setting out their stalls to play a game of football. Which my friend and i really enjoyed
These supporters are quite scary though with their chanting and smoke bombs going off. The entertainment value was great and most males present sat supping pints of beer all game.
Not too shabby a team either they are playing in the Europa Cup groups and had a good result a few weeks ago in Russia. Tomorrow they are at home again this time playing Espanyola. I hope they will do well against them/
They play in Green and White, its quite a nice strip but at £65 my son wont be having this in his Christmas stocking! My wee grandson though got a wee teddy bear in the team Logo for Santa to deliver.
all in all it was a good experience and really good to see football being played how it should be. Dont know if that will carry over to the Europa game tomorrow though?
A thoughtherly enjoyable experience .
