Yeah, the guy is mental. Good player (for Cyprus anyway), but mental.

It was good to see Temuri Ketsbaia on the sideline last night as their Manager - I always remember him scoring for Newcastle in the 90's and losing it a bit - kicking the sh*t out of an advertising hoarding Laughing

Was that the bloke?? Laughing

I'm pretty sure it was him, the commentator mentioned Ketsbaia and it looked like the fella (tho he wasn't kicking the shite out of a hoarding at the time so couldn't be 100%!)

Ketsbaia was insane....... literally.

Yes, he's Anorthosis' manager. He was a player/manager last year, actually. Can you imagine that guy giving a press conference? lol

He came close to throwing his chair at the journalists at least a couple of times. When he's angry at the ref or because they lost and the journos ask him stupid questions on top of that you can see it in his eyes that he can't wait to go back to the dressing room and punch a few lockers. Now that he isn't a player anymore he's mellowed a bit and has learned how to handle the press better.

I have great respect for him as a player in the Cyprus league though. I know it's not hard to excel over here, but the guy is definitely one of the 2-3 best players to have played in our league. He's also married to a Cypriot lady and he more or less considers our country his home now.

Okay so back to the proper European competition tonight, none of this "finish 4th Champion League" malarky Wink

I see us going through, albeit maybe not at such a canter in the 2nd leg - fingers crossed all being well I am hoping for a 3-1 away win tonight (clean sheet is out of the question if Robbo's given the nod)

No worries about Spurs going through... Wished I could say the same.

a 1-1 draw away without starting berbs keane lennon bale jenas chimbonda or kaboul.

Defoe had a bit of a stinker should of scored 4.

Good luck to the Everton for tonight anyway bluenose

I can see.......whatever there f**king names are coming back into this game. Wink

I read that Tottenham completely dominated the game and were unlucky not to score more.

Still, a good result for Anorthosis. A team from Cyprus drawing with any English team is a success really, but when it's against a team with Tottenham's history and budget then they do deserve some praise i guess (even if it was luck that kept them from losing).
