Ankargucu are at Tepecikspor this weekend in another must win match to keep up the pressure on leaders Manisaspor. Both teams won last weekend after hard fought wins as Manisa stay top by 6 points.
Before we look ahead to this weekends match, their was more bad news for the club off the field. It seems like i should just copy and paste from previous weeks match previews. Yet again the TFF are set to punish Ankaragucu due to bad language from the fans in the 2-1 win over Kecoirengucu. The club are also set to be given a 1 match stadium ban which will hurt the club again financially.
Only just a couple of weeks ago the TFF handed Ankaragucu a 3 point deduction due to the clubs accounts. Is this really a way to manage one of your clubs that your association governs? You know that the club have financial problems, yet you continue to hand out fines every week. You also hand the club a 3 point deduction for mess left by Melih Gokcek, and even though Fifa wrote to the club thanking them for all their work on paying their outstanding debts?
This is the same TFF, who this week have also announced that the cup game between Amedspor vs Fenerbahce will be played behind closed doors. A chance for a small club like Amedspor and their fans to enjoy one of the biggest matches in their history but TFF decide no fans allowed?
Going onto this coming weekends match with Tepecikspor and the club were dealt a blow when Goksu Alhas picked up his 4th yellow card of the season meaning he serves an automatic 1 match suspension. Goksu has been a key player for the club this season and a standout of the new signings the club made in the summer. Orhan Evci will come into the starting line up and its a chance for him to impress and make stake for his place back in the first team.
Tepecikspor are just 4 points outside the relegation zone and will be looking to take something from the game themselves as they fight for their place to stay in the division. The lost 4-0 in the cup on Monday at Istanbul Basaksehir which is no embarrassment seen as the home side are in the Super Lig. Their are no easy games in this league but these are games Ankaragucu should be going and winning comfortably.
Hopefully come Sunday afternoon we will be celebrating another win for Ankaragucu while Manisaspor will hopefully drop points at home to Tarsus.
Every man and his dog, especially the effin TFF, are doing their best to keep Ankaragucu in the 2nd League.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it is to be hoped that all those punishments being dished out willy-nilly will spur the players on to even greater efforts so that we can stick a finger up at the TFF come the end of the season.
Bring it on !
