In relation to the extreme magical journey, I am quite excited! (Also a tad nervous as its my first one) to experience an Ilves away day!

Thanks @BEAT!! I just filled out that form as @jokuvaa sent it to me. I also signed up/paid for the Niilon Pojat membership today as well. So all should be in order :)

What if the player fancies the move? Could add some pressure to potentially sell. Oulu are not exactly flying high and Gnistan are newly promoted. There’s lots of factors to think about when it comes to transfers. We are 4th in the league, based in one of the best cities in Finland and have...

Ashley Coffey would be a great option from the bench or competition for Haarala or to play along side him in a formation change. I think he has something like 24 goals in 37 games in the Veikkausliiga. Different type of option for the opposition to think about. Especially when you have one of...

I just brought my match ticket, If there are issues with me taking your spot on the bus just drop me a pm and I can book an Omnibus or take the train :)

That would be good! I am assuming the bus is a return journey? where does it depart from, Tammelan stadium? I can also send you the 25e via mobile pay or buy you a few beers at the ground to compensate.

Thank you, I need a Vierasfanikatsomo ticket right?

I am interested in going to the away match at Lahti on Saturday. I tried to find away ticket information on Lahti's website (and through their provider tiketti.fi) but could not see anything. Does anyone know how I can get a ticket for the away end? I was also thinking of taking the omnibus or...

My opinion on that was nothing really to do with English football, It was just in front of my eyes what I thought we could benefit from. I have seen a couple of strikers play for opposition teams in the Veikkausliiga at our place who I thought would suit us really well and the kind of...

It is actually a really good time to play Austria Wien. 1. Austria Wien are not used to playing on artificial pitches regularly, the way the ball moves and everything is different then grass, We have to make the most of our home tie and try to make the Tammelan stadium intimidating for them. It...

Frustrated about last night. Riski for me really offers nothing, I always feel like we are playing with 10 players when he is on the pitch, harsh perhaps because I do understand from others that he has been better in the past, but from what I have seen this season he lacks pace, lacks strength...

I haven't booked anything yet don't worry! was just taking a look to see if it was affordable and what the availability was like with hotels/flight options etc.

Just saw that we drew FK Austria Wien in the Europa Conference League. Brilliant draw, definitely think the Tammelan stadium will sell out for that one. Really curious to see how many supports come over from Austria as well, In the heart of the capital as well so its not to difficult for them...

Exactly that, it is good to have options. It would make us more dynamic. I like Haarala, he is fast and makes excellent runs but I do question his finishing, his missed a good few 1v1s already this season. But I believe he is naturally a wing forward not and out and out striker? and at the age...

That was just heart breaking and cruel. We played so well, even with 10 men. The standard of refereeing in this league is truly awful, so many soft fouls given to KuPs. Jorge was unlucky with the red card, but if you lunge in like that you are giving the referee a decision to make. I do feel...

Another excellent win, and if I am not mistaken top of the Veikkausliiga. Two massive games coming up against HJK and KuPs! I have a feeling with our current momentum we can turn over HJK on Saturday. KuPs next friday night should be an excellent game too.

Our performance was certainly a real statement to the rest of the league. Haka looked absolutely shell shocked by the 70th minute. We where so ruthless, direct and passionate in front of a sell out crowd. What a night! Ps: Credit where it is due, Rantanen really has turned it around after that...

One way I can see Finnish football improving (In terms of attendances for home and away teams) would be with better stadiums (an expensive option for some clubs, which I understand) You only have to look at our stadium this season to see how much of an impact it has. I am yet to do an away game...

I suspect we can maintain 4-5k this season, especially as we have teams like SJK, HJK, Turku, Haka still to come. The away attendances are definitely helping as well, I suspect that is because the Stadium is well designed and new, everyone wants to come and see it. Fair play to Oulu though that...

Good win today, we really needed that especially at home. But oh my god, we do make it hard for ourselves. Rantanen needs to look at our defensive shape, Our two CBS are not mobile enough to cover on the counter attack. Countless times this season we are leaving 2 at the back and it is just...
