Match Day Thread Turkey v Georgia

Again, 'decibel' is a meaningless indices and tells you little to nothing. There are weightings, frequencies, averages and an awful lot of other things to account for.

You can have a noise of 90+ decibels a few feet away and you won't hear it until you put your ear right next to the source.

 

Hang on how many "Turkish Messi's" are there?

'Turkish Messi announces himself' - young stars shining at Euro 2024

Another day, two more youngsters taking centre stage at Euro 2024.

Arda Guler curled in an early contender for goal of the tournament as Turkey broke Georgia hearts on their European Championship debut with a 3-1 win.

And just a few hours later, 21-year-old Francisco Conceicao scored 111 seconds after coming on to earn Portugal a late 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic.

Guler, the 19-year-old 'Turkish Messi', became the third teenager to score on his first Euros appearance - after Ferenc Bene for Hungary against Spain in 1964 and Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal against Greece in 2004 - with a brilliant 20-yard strike.

Yes, the article I took those figures from, which was an American one, did mention those and the different stadiums, some had an enclosed roof, others an unenclosed roof and some no roof at all.

Of course none will compare to a rousing rendition of Old Faithful…

 

15 seconds in and there's Father Christmas trying to enjoy his summer holiday, he'll be making a list.

Historically, Georgia has been fighting the Turks since 1060. They don't like each other.

 

That's not correct, even Erdogan himself is Georgian lol and a lot of Georgian people lives in Turkey, I'd say they would be most welcomed and pleased minority among all minorities. Never heard any fuss related to that. And remember coach Shota, he is almost Turkish now.

And politically two countries are pretty close, they even have a common oil/gas pipeline Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan.

 

Used to work with a woman from Georgia, she would disagree with you.

 

Think that's probably more to do with her being a woman than her being Georgian!

It's a religious divide. Historically the Ottoman Turks vs The Holy Roman Empire. Went on for centuries.

 

Holy Roman Empire and Georgia. Dude please stop, don't make yourself embarassed more.

It takes 3000 kms, two seas to Tbilisi from Easternmost HRE border.

A person can travel that distance without stopping in a month. An army leaving HRE would take 6-9 months to reach there without any siege equipment and resistance at all, probably years with all the stockpile and equipment they had to carry.

Edit: May be you learn something, I will assume you referred Eastern Roman Empire, so just to let you know they were orthodox, while Georgians are catholic. It was fierceful fight also between them, and Seljuk Turks usually fight as mercenaries for both side. Actually it was first Christian Crusade who sacked Constantinapole, weakened it for Turks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Constantinople

 

So there isn't a religious divide then ?

 

There is but it is not a big deal, back in the days most of the common folk can change religion easily in that region, may be 4-5 times in their lifetime depending on ruler, in reality they would just practice what they believe although ruler can change, it is not as similar as central europe relligious divisions like Protestans/Catholics etc. You have to understand that region was still semi-nomad and feudalism didn't properly exist.

Georgia's biggest problem was Black Death pandemic starting from 1300s, *****ls/Timurids from south/east and their leftover federations like Aq Qoyunlu or Golden Horde expansion from north.

Ottoman expansion towards north east to Georgia were limited, they mostly fought against Persians or Memlukes (Egypt) towards south east (where Silk and Spice trade route exist) and western side against Hungary where sea/canal trade routes exist. Basically in that region war was economic dominance between local powers, it is mostly crusades from western powers introduced religious sauce.

 

Familiar face in the crowd..

 

Or is it his twin?

 

No,it's him,it was in an online newspaper I was browsing this morning.He's standing beside Temur Ketsbaia,current manager of the Cypriot National Team.

If you need any information on Ketsbaia or the Cypriot National Team,Howden Tigress may be able to give you the low down as she resides there most of the year,drinking copious amounts of wine...Sorry Tigress

 

Didn't Ketsbaia play for Newcastle? Good little player in midfield.
Would Tigress be sober enough to answer?
