Not quite a story about us but Sabah newspaper's Ankara pullout did mention to get a few of the Kankas onto its sports page, including Maniac Kanka Harun's efforts at getting the German ambassador to put on an Ankaragucu top.
The Round Ball in Ankara! Dedicated to football lovers in Ankara (Except for those who follow Osmanlispor)
Tebrikler, Kankalar!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nathan.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a `scoop` for ANKARAGUCU. I wonder if this photo will find its way back to Germany and feature in their sports pages ??!!
Our next quest will be to have the British Ambassador photographed with an ANKARAGUCU top.
It will not be easy, but if Frodo can deliver The Ring to Mordor against all the odds, then there is always hope for my quest !!!

ReplyDeleteour nex aim is'watchıng a match together with german ambassador'
why not?we can do it!
well the second word in the headline after A Gucu.....could, if taken in an English context totally change your feeling of pride....however congrats....
ReplyDeleteI was wondering when someone was going to say that.
ReplyDelete...... ahemmm......and I was wondering when Oz Kanka was going to say it !! I never thought for one moment that a beautiful Turkish lady would mention it.... tut tut tut shock horror !!!
ReplyDeleteAs for Maniac Kanka's suggestion, yes go ahead and do your utmost. With Lanky Kanka Jorg heading back to Germany soon, he won't be there to `intimidate` his Ambassador with threats of Genclerbirligi retribution !!!
My next quest for my site is to get a picture of Gulay wearing a Fener shirt.
ReplyDeleteHey Kankalar, I have a strange question for you. Do you guys know Tanil Bora?
ReplyDeleteOf course we know Tanil Bora. He sits with us, or near us, for most Gencler games.
ReplyDeleteSomeone was telling me about him - does he write books on Sport Management or something? What is his background?
ReplyDeletethat will only happen via photoshop I can assure you......
ReplyDeleteTanil Bora writes sports and politics articles for Radikal newspaper.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite happy to look at photos of Gulay wearing ANY shirt. I'm sure `the husband` will agree with my sentiments ?!
ReplyDeleteBy the way Nathan, the Radikal is not as radical as The Guardian !!
I've never seen Gulay; is she quite "the looker?"
ReplyDeleteWithout wishing to embarrass Gulay, I would say that the answer is ......... most definitely !
ReplyDeleteTurkey is world famous for its `Turkish Delights` !!!
I love how we are talking about Gulay as if she doesn't read this....
ReplyDeleteYes, Eski, I know what you mean. If I were single, I would have already moved to Turkiye by now. Turkish women are the best in the world...
Gulay does read this, I assure you. I'm sure "the husband" does too.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Nathan. The Husband is an Ingallish gentleman and would never ..... nay..... never, take offence !!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm sure he agrees with every word we said !
tanil bora'a a bit of an intellectual, isn't he? writes about nationalism and stuff. he's an editor for an academic publisher in ankara as well as a columnist. he might write about sports management but I'd expect he was more interested in the politics and sociology of sport.

Thanks, Spine. Yes, my career field is also the sociology and politics of sport and someone told me I should contact him.
ReplyDeleteyes, agreed, I do and not sure I agree
ReplyDeleteI agree with EVERYTHING The Husband says !!!
ReplyDeletecluck cluck cluck !!!!
