We won. We happy, Vincent?
Fuck off.
Two things to mention before getting deep into it.
1. Congratulations, high five and respect to Borac. They played bravely and heroically (hence the name!), sometimes better than us. A draw would have been much more just, I even think Borac would have deserved to win.
2. I hope Partizan’s management sends a bottle of fine champagne to referee Novica Anđelovski on New Year. Practically this win would have never happened without him.
Heavy rain in the first half. The only thing to mention. Two completely equal teams on the pitch. (This fact might be flattering only for Borac…) Zoćević dribbled around Janković in a way that left the Montenegrin speechless, he could just blink.
Zoćević had a great game. He ran a lot, dribbled a lot, he meant danger for our goal. I really hope this talented kid will not get forgotten.
Borac attacked. They finished the first half with a huge chance (43rd minute, ended with a corner-kick) while in the second they had such actions that Partizan-defenders’ hair was streaming from the wind their attacks made. I swear it was only the Almighty’s grace Team Čačak didn’t take the lead in the 50th minute, Knežević hit the goalpost. Another big chance eas missed by the home team in the 57th minute. We had a few tryings from counter-attacks, then finally Tawamba literally pushed the ball into the box in the 59th minute. It was a 100 % unmissable “zicer”, but even this way Tawamba struggled for a while. (0:1) The goal woke us up a bit, but - big respect! - Borac didn’t stop fighting. They made it really amazing. They visibly prepared well and decided not to come to the pitch with hands up. They got the (may I say well-deserved) result: Brazilian striker Mateus equalized in the 70th minute. (1:1)
Did they deserve it? Absolutely!
Did they play bravely, spectacularly? They did!
Have we been lame ducks? As usual.
How many chances did we miss out after this? At least 3 of these “unmissables”, but there were a lot of others, less dangerous, but we could have still scored from those.
Have we been shitty? Beyond question.
What does head coach Đukić deserve for blaming the quality of the pitch after he was asked why we played again like shit? Someone to hit a nettle-bush with his dick as a bat.
The best was still left.
87th minute. We attack. Someone pushes Janković to the ground inside the penalty area. Penalty kick. Tošić stands behind the ball, he kicks…
...AND THE GOALKEEPER SAVED!!!
It was unbelievable. I’ll be honest here: I was laughing hard. Bambi, dude, will you please go to hell. It’s something only we can do. The 90th minute brought a fight, Everton tackled Jovanović way too hard, Jovanović wanted to kick into Everton in exchange - finally he kicked only into thin air, but that was enough to start a fight. They both got yellow card. Meanwhile the referee decided about 5 minutes of extra time, and these 5 minutes eventually had a key role. Tension rose high, Pantić also got into a fight with a home player. Everyone was waiting for the final whistle, the very last seconds were running, when Tošić clashed with a Borac-player. Referee Novica Anđelovski - for a great shock - whistled direct free kick for Partizan. (Meanwhile the extra time was over.)
I’ll be honest. Anđelovski screwed it up. A lot. It was not Borac’s player that fouled. It was Bambi. And if I could see this fact from here, on the other side of the border, through an online stream, then it’s impossible that a (-n allegedly) professional referee who is standing right there, supported by his assistants can’t see it.
Sorry everyone. I fucking hate when a referee is biased, even if for our benefit (and even if it happens only once in a century).
Oh well.
Tošić shot, and unlike with the penalty kick, this time he could score. (1:2) Local fans were hissing, booing and cursing. Honestly? I could understand them. Nor am I happy with this victory. A draw would have been fairer… (I don’t give a fuck on with how many points we’d be behind the neighbourhood then. I prefer much more to have a larger disadvantage with hinest play than having closer ties with a referee’s help).

Upon news FSS will have a talk with referee Anđelovski about this football game. He might even get suspended. Crvena Zvezda had a press release about the referee’s impact on the result (which was, according to them, scandalous), not as if anyone would have asked them.
