How to begin? Iâm not going to analyze a bore draw, a professional job done: Iâm just going to grab some thoughts out of the air⦠When I couldnât fall asleep last night? I mean, being 42, Iâve seen my fair share of football matches, it takes something special to make me lose my cool. When I bought myself a brand X FC København jersey this afternoon? Just to be recognized â seems it worked on TV as well. When standing in that outside-bar in Malmø where people were shouting their heads off; then when we 4 guys came in with our homemade âEnjoy Laudrupâ-banner. People staring at us, (and me in my white(???)-Liverpool jersey). That was a very emotional moment of surprise and accptance, gripped by the same passion, just from different angles. When I met FFS and Norway Jack? FFS is a JJ Shelvey lookalike, even though his friends suggested he ATE Shelvey (with friends like that you need no enemies!). Having a short conversation with NJ on topics from the board â think weâre going for beers in old Copenhagen tomorrow⦠Or going up the stairs into MMFs 25000 all-seater, watching the guys from TV do their warming up. Things you see: WOW â Jazz as RB â WOW Michu is tall â WOW Tremmel is focused â WTF is Pozuelo played as RW Iâd have him in LW anytime⦠Bony is a huge walking muscle. I love Canas hairdo (and no, I'm not "Canas in disguise")! So many impressions: All your Jack Bastard songs â we were laughing, clapping and shouting along. The team is cool, not Fonzie cool â cynical cool: They know their roles, some guys fail or do a worse job than others, but they all know what they are supposed to do. With ball, off ball  stuff you canât see off screen. I have to praise Chico â heâs fantastic! Iâd say we were a lot more than the official 800 figure. A lot of Danes came over this afternoon; including one BIF-supporter who kept shouting his S*** at me at the stadium (I briefly wished I was younger). Well, when was it in all this I saw my first Swansea game, you be the judge of that! Just bet not many of you saw your first match in Swedbank Stadium, away playing Europa League, not in the company of Dad or Uncle, but with 3 other die-hard Laudrup-fans (rapidly turning into Swansea fans too). On the train home discussing if Kazakhstan would be a realistic option for next away game. Do you need visum for Kasakhstan?
Great post Mikra, made me smile, wish I'd been there, sounded like fun. Tried to follow the link Bony gave for ITV, it asked me for a Post code so I typed in my brothers in Port Talbot, but it wasn't having it lol. Well I tried, maybe I will get to see some highlights somewhere, but we are in the Europa League, and seeded! Might need a Visa for Asfukistan though.
Great thread Mikraswan! My first Swansea game too.. Thank you for a great night in sweeden. We forgot to bring Cash to the game, so no beers on stadium! That didn´t make the game better!! The warm and loving atmosphere in the Square before the game will stany with me forever. Coming from denmark with a banner saying "enjoy Laudrup" was a gamble, but you just gave us a song and treated us like Family. Thanks Guys!
Well done Mikra - you are a star.....and yes - you can fill in for Cañas in any team photo if he's unavailable haha.
Great that you enjoyed, Mikra. Welcome to the "real" stuff and shame you couldn't mark your debut with a win. You can thank the officials for that. Wish you many more live games, fellah.
Jersey, I was able to get the ITV stream through Wiziwig - It wasn't labelled as ITV (I couldn't get the official one) and the stream rate appeared to be low so I watched a foreign stream that kept stalling . I got fed up and thought I'd try the other streams just in case there was something better (usually do this on Wiziwig) and Lo and behold - the ITV stream that hardly dtalled - definition not as good but in English and easy to watch - Even got to see Mikra.
T'was most amusing, the first images of the Swansea fans I saw on ITV and there was a bloke right in the middle looking slightly bemused wearing a København top and big hair, and I just knew straight away that must be him. Glad you enjoyed it mate!
That was him ! Lol. There were a lot of jacks thinking when mikra and friiends joined us for pre game drinks that canas had been dropped and decided to go on the piss with the jack army !... Our Danish friends were a great bunch of guys though and I'm guessing that if they were spotted on TV then so were me and ffs, who looks a lot like jonjo shelvey by the way, as we were all standing together ! The game was strictly business by the swans,75% effort was enough,malmo is a nice place and the jack faithful were well behaved and added plenty of colour to the town centre .
Hi Mikraswan, I'm the lady who sat behind you and shook your hand...great hair and banner by the way.
