We proudly wore our Ankaragucu gear at school. All of our students were quite perplexed by the scarves and jerseys ("Why teacher, why?"), but it got them speaking in English at the very least. <br /><br />Thanks again for a great Sunday.<br /><br />JoeJoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-88423395307551926552009-10-09T14:27:41.686+03:002009-10-09T14:27:41.686+03:00Kayseri, the house of dogs.Kayseri, the house of dogs.Mountaineering Kankanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-33634119667816855822009-10-07T18:41:37.520+03:002009-10-07T18:41:37.520+03:00Great comment from Connect Kanka Steve ....... and...Great comment from Connect Kanka Steve ....... and can you feel his passion for Ankaragucu ??<br /><br />If only Mountaineering Kanka Robbie had been here to see Steve's enthusiasm and jubilation in the post-match celebrations he would have been proud of his protige.

For eighty-two minutes, the football was dull and unmemorable; both teams failed to impress. While I would say that our boys had the better chances in the second half, I always assumed that Galatasaray would poke one in at the end to crush our spirits. Never in a million years did I expect the result we got. <br /><br />As Eski Kanka mentioned, all of us 'yabancıs' received a royal welcome from the Gecikondu boys. They stood and applauded as we entered the stadium. A standing ovation from the hooligan faction certainly does a lot to make newcomers feel welcome. We also made a lot of friends both before and after the match, and we managed to fit approximately seven of them into our cab on the way back to Chopin.<br /><br />For those that weren't there (alas, Mountaineering Kanka, this is you), the post-match atmosphere outside the stadium was nothing short of euphoric. Everyone was everyone's best friend. We posed for countless photos with our Ankaragücü brethren, including the leader of the Gecikondu, who appeared to be appreciative of the attractive female presence we brought to the match. Cars were driving by, waving flags and beeping horns. Mobs of young (and probably unemployed) men roamed the streets cheering our favorite chants. It was like nothing I had ever witnessed before. This win meant so much to our supporters and our city. It's something that the Istanbul teams, with their perennial dominance, will never be able to comprehend.<br /><br />To me, this match represented everything it means to be an Ankaragücü supporter. The oscillation between our highs and lows is simply ludicrous. It's hard to believe that we can go from complete disarray (both on and off the pitch) to probably the most historic win in our club's recent history in only a matter of weeks. Hopefully, we have more of this greatness to come.Connect Kanka Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-62273605532108089422009-10-06T20:22:42.944+03:002009-10-06T20:22:42.944+03:00NE MUTLU ANKARAGUCLUYUM DİYENE!!!

Glad that so many new "recruits" went as well. Hopefully now they are fans for life and understand the glory that can come from supporting your home team! I wish I could've been there. I was however doing my part. On the very same day, I was busy claiming another peak for Ankara Gucu.
