Tippeliga 2007

I will be in Oslo again this summer and i will definetly be going to the VÃ¥lerenga vs Lyn match. Should be interesting to see if they are near the top come late June too. I see Rosenborg are playing Lyn after that too, might prolong my stay and catch that one too. Would there be a opportunity to buy a ticket at the match for this game?

I have already bought my ticket for the Oslo 'derby'. Smile

I watched the Sequeira goal for TIL against VIF, what a goal! (I have placed top scorer bets on Ijeh, Gannarsson, Iversen and Nannskog for this season and surely they will be fighting the most goals?)

Against Lyn you can get a ticket with 100% certanity without preordering (when we are playing them, not VIF).

TromsÃ¸ will be tough, they have had an excellent pre-season campaign and proved to have improved a lot compared to last season. They had a great result the first day of the league as well. Will be a tough game for us if we want to have a good start, luckily it's at Lerkendal as going to TromsÃ¸ now means tough weather conditions and playings conditions...

Anyway. I am satisfied with the draw. As 2mas said we always started a bit like a Diesel, then to win everything once the motor is at full speed. But it'd be nice to beat TromsÃ¸ now and then get at least 4 out of 6 versus Brann and VIF.

By the way, which teams are expected to be fighting against relegation? I doubt that Viking and TromsÃ¸ will have any serious troubles this year. Maybe the two new ones? Or Odd Grenland maybe?

My relegation candidates are Ã…lesund: they go up and down each time they try it in the tippeliga. Besides their good brazillian attacker spent most of preseason in Brazil.
Fredrikstad
Sandefjord
And many believes Odd grenland will get a hard time. But they seem to be stuck in the tippeliga no matter how poor the squad is.
It will be interesting to see how good StrÃ¸msgodset can make it. They seem to stake on routine, as they have many players with tippeliga experience. And several former Rbk-players like Ã˜yvind Leonhardsen, AndrÃ¨ BergdÃ¸lmo, Christer George, Espen Johnsen(loan from Rbk)and Kristian SÃ¸rli in their squad.
There is always some surprises as the season gets along. Tommel'n opp!

I just hope TromsÃ¸ doesn't get in trouble, I like that team, probably due to my arctic fetish Smile

(As long as they lose when they come to Lerkendal though Wink

)

By the way, is Espen just gone on loan? I thought StrÃ¸msgodset had really bought him from us, or am I wrong there? I wonder if S'godset has chances of long-term survival in the Tippeligaen, they're very close to Oslo and that area is dominated by VIF (and to certain extend Lyn as well)

Johnsen is just on loan, but a transfer fee is already settled. The reason for the loan was that he wants to move his medical studies to Oslo, and this is not settled yet.

I'd love to see Trondelag or BodÃ¸ go up, at least something that is 'close' to a derby for RBK rather than another team from the Oslo-Bergen area...

Anyway, the Coca-Cola Stand... that sounds wonderful, almost paradise-esque Cool

RBK turned 1-3 into 4-3 in a dramatic and entertaining match.

What a game, i have a little bet on Iversen for top scorer which is looking good after this game. Tromso shouldn't go down, they look a decent team.

I bought a TV2 season ticket so i can watch most games at perfect streaming quality and i started yesterday with Start - Viking. The Sor Arena is very impressive and Start look a dangerous team, better than Viking IMO.

This league will be tough this year, i'm watching Brann - Godset (1-1 at the moment) and there isn't much between them. Solli looks weird in a Brann shirt!

Ex-Rosenborg striker Christer George scored SIF's goal.

Skotten · Posted: 16.04.2007 19:39 Post subject:

Solli is having a good game on the right, he has set up two of their goals. Brann 3-1 SIF, and they are now chanting his name. Confused

Gerrit · Posted: 16.04.2007 22:15 Post subject:

How much does that TV season ticket cost?

4 out of 6, good start Tommel'n opp!

We often had a slow start then to win game after game once the season's halfway, so starting with a 4 out of 6 is promosing. Although the Brann and Valerenga games come very early in the season so that will be tough (although VIF seems to be underperforming so far)

season=one year, I guess.

Gunnarsson sinks RBK, he scores a lot of goals. Any thoughts on the performance?

Worst game I've ever seen.

RBK started playing defensively after getting the lead, and let StabÃ¦k turn the game around.

IMPO, Roar Strand honked badly and should not get to play central midfielder anymore.

Easy win against Brann. Pleased for Koppinen as he was 'det banens beste spiller'? for me, nice for him to score. The defence was solid, particularly impressed with Stoor on the overlap but he could work on his crossing.

What to say about Sapara? Two great goals although i'm sure Mjelde won't be overly happy with Opdal on both occasions. Solli and Andresen were over powered by the RBK midfield. Saeternes or Helstad on his return were ineffective against a excellent RBK defence.

I think this was crucial win even this early, nice to prevent Brann from gaining a lead at the top too. The crowd were noisy and supported the team well, what was the attendance?

Attendance: 21 850.
Koppinen got a son last night, thats why he celebrated like he did.

Rosenborg were pretty poor, finished 2-1 VIF.

They were the better team in the first half whilst i thought RBK were in control in the second half. VIF created mre chances in my opinion, they hit the 'woodwork' three times. Fredheim Holm looks a good player.

A dissapointment but RBK will have to recover next week.

This was at least better than the last away match - at StabÃ¦k.

Last April and May we were poor at home. This season we have trouble away from Lerkendal.

Skotten · Posted: 06.05.2007 22:08 Post subject:

There wasn't any particular poor performances, i guess it was a bad day at the office. RBK are slow starters and barring a LSK win tomorrow, no-one will be far ahead of the rest of the pack.

Last year Rosenborg disappointed at Lerkendal. This season the problem is playing away.

Another bad performance, not much went right again today. I was dissapointed at the lack of chances created, Godset were strong defensively and physical upfront with Kovac.

It looks like the main contenders to RBK's title will be Lillestrom and Brann, more defeats like this and they might begin to pull away from the rest.
