Game one of two in Oslo today(also derby one of two)
Frigg FK v IF Ready
Started of with a f@ck up. Frigg usually play at the Frogner Stadium but when i turned up it was set up for handegg. The gate was open so i walked in and asked the dude on the pitch. Turns oot Frigg had been kicked oot today for the Valerenga handegg team. So a quick look on soccerway it turned out they were playing at their home ground/headquarters 20 mins walk away. So off i popped.
Got to Torteberg Kunstress an hour before. Spoke to a dude who was having a kick about with his loon. Told him about the reason i was there and asked if i could get a scarf. More on that after. I then nipped for a couple of pints down the road.
Game kicked off in glorious sunshine. Thats all that was good about the first half. Poor standard and a poor 3G surface. The bounce was horrific. The most entertainment was me acting as ball boy.
Half time came and i got a tap on the shoulder from the chairman. He said "i hear you are from Aberdeen, here is a gift from Frigg Oslo we appreciate your attendance" and handed me a scarf. Good man. Even better man is Thomas i spoke to pre game as he must have organised it when i was away wetting my whistle.
Second half was much the same. Dire viewing and to whip out a cliche. First goal was to be the winner and so it turned out. Frigg winning it in the 85th minute. The goal turning an utterly sh@te game into a sh@te game
What did i expect, it was 3rd division Norweigan fitba.
I did keep up my unblemished scarf from every ground outwith Scotland collection though. So not all bad
