My football. Shakhtar Donetsk.

From the yesterday there are a lot of comments about the national "derby" between Kyiv and Donetsk. For the most part it's just emotions: "Luchesku is an unequable!" or "Luchesku is a hero!", "Kleber - balerina!!! :(" or "Kleber had a hard game and was lucky to suffer a lot of shakhtar's fouls", "Paulo Costa [the referee] - held a great match!" or "Costa - butcher!". I have nothing to add here ;), beacause the real debreifing will take the place after the passions settle down.

But I'd like to note some things. First of all, Dynamo's coach Anatoliy Demianenko has earned more than just points into the table, he's saved his place at the head of the team. Fans and directors tomorrow even were agree to forgive a part of failed euro-season for the winning over the main concurrent in the national championship. He did it, and probably he'll stay there for a next season.

As for the Shakhtar - it's a real tragedy for Donetsk fans. Two red cards for the players and one for the coach; Luchesku's intemperance inherited by the players; at last the loss to the main opponent... The worst anyone could suppose.

In brief, the wonderful football night was corrupted by a needless aggression.
And Kiev scored after the Shakhtar's defenders mistake. It was enough to win.



Emotions in the pictures:


"One more time - and you will leave the bench!"


"Please, take your place at the stands!"


Mircha Luchesku already have the experience of getting the red cards as a coach. He got one in the Turkish championship.



Salute in the honour of the sending off the field of Shakhtar's coach.


Just a screenshot. Shatskich to Srna: "WTF?"

Photos the next :)

The football fan's culture in Donetsk this season is extremely growing up. A real ultras appeared on the stands. Yeah, those ultras with banners, fires, tom-tom drums and other inherent attributes. For the time being there's a few men gathering on the internal matches of ukrainian championship, less than one sector is filled usually (~500 ultras). But the real shows - Champions League matches - represent the support in all one's glory. They make the grandiose celebration on a par with football players. In the next post I will publish the videoreview of the last match Shakhtar - Valencia from the french Canal+. In the very beginning there you will see the great canvases with phrase 19 Ш А Х Т А Р 36 (1936 - the year of origin) and the traditional symbols - crossed hammers (means miner's tools, and if you don't know yet 'Shakhtar' - means 'miner'). Songs and scansion of thousands during the game drive the team very well :)
;) All football-related mankind in the city should thank the support team for the prepeared show and say "go on!", the progress is quite impressive, guys.

P.S. Theirs forum - http://fpesluzhz.4bb.ru/, they always publish there the photos of the past acts. I'll try to post here the special ones in the future.

Video sampling from the official site. As I've recognized - it's the previous season (05/06)
