Superliga, round 19: Voždovac - FK Partizan 0:1

It’s hard for me now, believe me. I’ve used up all attributes. There has already been all forms of “shit”, “lame ducks” has been my mantra and let’s say it out loud, English language isn’t too rich in curse words. (Unlike Hungarian and Serbian. Hehe.)
It would be hard anyway to find any attribute to that which this wonderful (LOL) team made as performance.
They had ABSOLUTELY NO performance. The value of their play is zero. (photo: partizan.rs)



There was some running in the beginning, but they gave it up after 15 minutes, they didn’t even wait until the 20th.

As for me, I started my favourite rosary in the 22nd, namely “why am I watching this shit?”

The only goal of the game came in the 26th minute, even that was the result of a mistake in the defense. Ožegović got the ball, passed to Tošić, he sent a distant shot to the box and scored. (0:1)

Seriously. If that Voždovac-defender hadn’t had that momentary lapse of reason, the final result would have been 0:0.

The 34th minute brought a smaller upheaval, Tawamba had an attempt, flag up, free kick downfield. The slow motion replay showed that Tawamba wasn’t on offside, a defender got stuck within the offside field - on the other side of the pitch. Tawamba was clear, yet the referee whistled it off.

Two things to mention. First, Tawamba was standing at the goalmouth, all doors and windows open. We all know how very effective Tawamba is (not…) in these situations. Yes, these are the moments when he shots too wide/too high/into the goalkeeper. I suspect the assistant raised his flag from purely humanitarian reasons to free Tawamba from the possible shitstorm, taking it on himself. Second, offside is what the referee whistles off as offside. (Same goes for goals - goal us what the referee validates.)

That was it about the first half.
The second was even worse. Seriously, this second half may come up as a tool for torture. If the client is not willing to talk/testify, just make them watch this second half. They will confess even what they didn’t commit.
I’ll be honest, I fell asleep.
Saša Ilić joined the game as a substitute in the 70th minute. This was his 400th game for Partizan. This was the top moment of the half. Well, of the entire game, rather.
Soon after came the lowest point. I mean, if this shit can get any lower. 79th minute, we got a penalty. Voždovac’s goalkeeper and Tawamba clashed, the Cameroonian fell, the referee whistled. Jevtović stood behind the ball.
Did he miss it out? Sure he did. Goalkeeper Popović had a brilliant save.

This is always heroic from a goalkeeper, independent of everything.

Then I don’t know what happened, I slept back. I think the teams did the same.
