FROM EXACTLY 9 YEARS AGO TODAY. LÅNGHOLMEN 13 SARAJEVO 0 venue Alby International Pizzeria Stadium, 14.00 - 5th may 2005. UNLUCKY 13 FOR SORRY SARAJEVO At a quick glance the scoreline seems to be a misprint, but as a witness to this game believe it was not. On paper this looked to be a tricky fixture for the stripes but in reality to say they won at a canter is a severe understatement.The Sarajevo men had a total of 3 attempts on goal the whole match whereas the visitors could easily of notched over twenty goals. The first attack of the match was by the hosts after some sloppy play by captain RobbieGraham, but a badly placed shot proved no trouble for Mole.The landslide started in the 11th minute when a defence splitting pass from Robbie G found Artoo, whose killer shot burst the vegetable bag. A minute later and a carbon copy move between the same two players made it two. Quite clearly the homesters were in a state as 3 minutes later when a Brad throw in was met beautifully on a half volley to make it 3 -0 and effectively kill the game as a contest. Goals by Chris,Brad and Artoo made it 6 by half time and one couldn´t help feel sorry for the young keeper recruited from the local kebab shop only minutes before kick off. The away fans in the large crowd of 27 were now anticipating 10 goals but were overjoyed when the stripes indeed notched up 13. Next up was Thomas Karlsson with a finely taken goal on 65 mins and then goals by Artoo, who grabbed a total of six, Chris,on a hat trick and a header by defensive stalwart MiCHAEL O´Sullivan finshed off a fine day for the Juventus lookalikes. Fine performances by the ever present Andrew Startup and Mike as well as Tobbe and Patrick.New boy Dennis is also proving a revelation in a side that from the neutrals point of view have a realistic chance of finishing high in the league standings. Two elements of the game impressed,the fact that the stripes battled on and even after half time with such a cushion kept on the pressure. the other was the good spirit in which Sarajevo took their defeat. Nick Short ,with his polished head,said after the match that the season starts now and that the team should not be too complacent after a victory against a very poor team. Crowd 27 Ref watch Had a hard time keeping up with the goal tally and twice asked how much the score was. All the best, Scottie. 13 rätt Respekt
