Tampere United fans were a little bit disgruntled on Sunday. They had been chucked out of the HJK match en masse for letting off smoke bombs, a ridiculous over-reaction and unnecessary collective punishment. The first half of the VPS match was extremely dull as a result, as the Sinikaarti section was empty and the fans [. Click to continue reading...

Yle started their Veikkausliiga broadcasts today as FF Jaro played FC Lahti. The system in Finland is quite interesting: Urheilukanava broadcast the games from April to September, and Yle are only interested when the title is about to be won.

Once again, the games start on Saturday and the last one will be played on Wednesday - so if my predictions go wrong as far as Wednesday's TPS-KuPS is concerned, I'll blame it on having to write the preview so early. FF Jaro - Tampere United This is Saturday's only game. TamU are probably tired following their [. Click to continue reading...

Most likely it will not be a high-scoring game This was my prediction before last night's Veikkausliiga game between TPS and VPS. Luckily my address is not public, so I don't have a line of gamblers on my doorstep trying to kick the door in. VPS delivered an absolutely horrible performance and succumbed to a 6-1 [.

No, it's not over yet. The last game of round 13 will be played on Wednesday as TPS host VPS.

VPS are occupying the 8th position in [. Click to continue reading...

TamU lost 2-1 to Honka yesterday, with King Henri Myntti getting the goal for TamU. I didn't go, as i got drunk in the afternoon and managed to forget about it until it was rather late. Such is the Finnish summer. Sounded like a crap game, but at least the King is still scoring and [...] Click to continue reading...
