So the first defeat of the blog came in the most annoying circumstances. But I still have a home game to post about before I get to that.
Two weekends ago (oops!) Bohemians hosted Most, the team that got relegated with them and with whom they had shared an epic 2-4 encounter at Most's place late last season, a result that ended their hopes but offered a glimmer of hope to us Kangaroos fans. Alas, it turned out to be false hope and we got relegated too.
And with recent Bohemka form, it is not hard to see why. Against Most, they feel behind early to an easy tap-in and spent the next 70 minutes huffing and puffing. They were hindered by some cyncial Most fouling which unsurprisingly given all the yellow cards that were flying round, resulted in one player being told to do one round about the 75 minute mark. And suddenly Bohemians were flying. Two quick goals and we could start the party.
But we started it too soon and in the dying minutes, Most broke away for 2-2. A definite two points dropped that would have put us back on level terms with league leaders Caslav who dropped their first points of the season with a draw that weekend.
Of course, a week later, and there was no reason for concern. We were away at Vitkovice, miles away in Ostrava, on a Friday night. Six games in and Vitkovice's record read six defeats. Yeah, you can see what's gonna happen here, can't you? Well, you should be able to since I already told you in the first line.
An embarrassing 1-0 defeat to the bottom club which is a big dent in the promotion push and of particular irritation to any Bohemians fans who took a day off work to cross the country to watch it, even if the ticket to the game was only 20Kc (about 66p). Thankfully I am immensely lazy so I wasn't one of them.
This weekend is a home derby that I am particularly unenthralled by - Sparta B at home. I have nothing but contempt for the pointlessness of B teams so I am not exactly jumping with excitement about this one. Still, we desperately need a return to winning ways after three consecutive games (four if you count the cup which I don't think anyone does) without one.
Last season Bohemians 1905 got relegated and Cardiff City reached the FA Cup final. This season, both armed with season tickets, we, Jonas (Cardiff) and William, plan to chronicle our experiences attending the games of the respective clubs.
For Cardiff, it is particularly emotional as this is their last season at Ninian Park, a ground they have lived at since 1910. For Bohemians the pressure is greater as their fans expect an immediate return to the top flight.
Our hopes for the season include lots of flowing football, some cracking goals, a promotion-a-piece, the odd fit streaker (female) and, ultimately, a pre-season friendly between the two clubs in the summer of 2009 (preferably over two legs and involving some kind of trophy named in our honour.)
