Even as I write this I can hear Maniac Kanka Harun's voice echoing in my head saying "Fuck Istanbul! Fuck Istanbul! Fuck Istanbul!!!!!" <BR/><BR/>But let us remember that even our old friend Martin, who when prodded by a group of young guys about whether he supported one of the big three teams in addition to Ankaragücü and responded Ne Beşiktaş ne Cim bom bom, ne ibne kanaryalar (neither Besiktas, nor Galatasaray, nor those gay Fenerbahce canaries), was able to appreciate Istanbul as a city. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, on the day of the match, I was having trouble even finding the score, but luckily I found two security guards outside the Istanbul Modern (where I went to see a Cihat Burak exhibition) who knew what was going on and were able to fill me in. <BR/><BR/>I must say, a tie with Kayseri even at home is respectable. And thanks to Jim and the Round Ball in Ankara, even if I wasn't able to be there, the report almost makes me feel as if I had been. Looking forward to seeing you all at the next match. <BR/><BR/>P.S.
