Friday night at the Bandy

October 31, 2009

What a night! Smiling Bajen faces at last as the first Bandy match of the Swedish season saw Hammarby’s bandy team narrowly beat Broberg 6-5.

There is something very different about the atmosphere at Bandy. I cannot put my finger on it but I urge all foreigners in Sweden to give Bandy a try. Its very [...]

Football? What Football? Tonight I will be very Swedish and…

October 30, 2009

go to Hammarby Bandy!
Its the first match tonight against Broberg/Söderhamn. I will wrap at warm and go to the game at Zinkensdamm.  Last year I went with Miss P and her Dad which was fun. Tonight I will go with my Bajen mates. I am tempted to make some Irish coffee! Its bloody freezing out [...]

What the Socialdemokraterna can get away with and Örgryte fans cant..

October 20, 2009

I wrote a few days back how the Örgryte fans were being financially penalised by the Swedish Football Authorites for displaying a poster demanding the release of Dawit Isaak.
The SvFF said it was political and not acceptable.
Imagine my surprise last night when watching Bajen (lose again!!!) to Halmstads BK to see an advertising hoarding with [...]

Failing the Tebbit Test! Heja England!

June 27, 2009

I am sorry to say that Norman Tebbit would have been very angry with me yesterday. I failed the Tebbit Test!
I genuinely want Sweden to do well but last night I had to cheer for England!
What a match, England score in the first minute and were soon 3-0 up. Shocking!  At half time I faffed [...]

Never mind the Pirates, here comes Spotify

May 25, 2009

Now thats the way to do it!
Here in Sweden there is a lot of debate after the Pirate Bay case, and there is a political party standing in the EU elections called Piratpartiet who are ‘fighting’ for internet freedoms.
Recently a dear friend sent me an invite for Spotify.
Spotify allows you to listen to music on [...]

It’s hard to walk tall when you are small

May 17, 2009

Just got in from my lovely ryanair flight to be greeted with the news that Bajen have beaten Malmö, really wasn’t expecting that one!
Hopefully this will give the players the confidence they need to kick on now and stay in the Allsvenskan. Although its just one match and you cant get carried away this will [...]

Hillsborough remembered

April 11, 2009

I know I bang on a lot about football but I have just watched a very emotional interview with two Liverpool legends. You never thought about how much the Hillsborough disaster would have affected the players. I wonder how many of todays multi millionaire football stars would have helped out the way these guys did?

April 11, 2009

As promised here are two videos, the photos didnt come out so well. Really need to get a new camera.

The famous AIK anthem, I still dont think its as good as the Bajen one (Just idag är jag stark) and thats without any bias. What do Djurgården sing?

Welcome to the Jungle. OK very American but [...]

Two new Swedish events for me this week though…
First, Miss P and her dad took me to my very first Ice Hockey game. I had no interest in that sport until I played one of the NHL games on Xbox. [...]
