What is a young guy who played his early football at Berserker doing in Romania? As Josh Rose would tell you, he's forging a decent career in the hard world of professional football. It has been a long journey for Rose from local Capricornia football, through to a three-year stint with the Brisbane Strikers and then a spell with the New Zealand Knights before signing for Universitatea Craiova in 2006. However, don't place a bet on the 26 year-old ending his playing days in the heart of Europe. "I've got one year left on my contract," he said. The club, which is situated about three hours west of Bucharest and plays in the top division of Romanian football, is pleased with Rose and the three other Australians in the present team. "When I arrived we had just been relegated," Rose said. The club bounced back into the country's top flight but is finding it hard establishing itself there, finishing ninth in both of its two campaigns. When he returns for pre-season training in June the club want to talk to him about an extension to his contract. However, Rose admits while remuneration is good the lifestyle in Australia beckons him, his partner Jeni and their baby Jai. "I've talked to a few clubs while I've been here," he admitted. Those discussions were informal but Rose is tempted by the A-League and the opportunities it presents. "One of the reasons (for returning) is the national coach being here and picking A-League players," he said. Considered talented in Australia, Rose said his game has improved since playing in Europe. Locally supporters talk about the woes of the Cougars in the goalscoring department and recall the striking capabilities of Rose. However in recent times his natural attacking skills have been reshaped and he now turns out in a left defensive position. "It's worked in my favour," he said. "Clubs these days look for players who are more versatile." His linguistic ability has also been tested but he has learned enough to know what Romanians are saying and get his own message across. Rose isn't even having problems with the language on the training pitch. "The coach is Italian and knows little of the language," he said. "His assistant is Romanian but can speak some English." On the park Rose said he and the other Australians talk in Romanian even though their team mates speak a little English. The language is not the only difference to football in Australia. "We play a lot more games," he said recognising this is an area of concern for national coaches picking A-League players. While A-League crowds are excellent the Romanian supporters are passionate about "the beautiful game". "Football is their life over there," he said. "Lose a game and they can go crazy." Not something needed when Universitatea Craiova pulls crowds of 30-35,000 against top Bucharest sides. So what did Rose think of the Cougars match with NQ Razorbacks at the weekend. "I wish it (QSL) had been around when I was playing here, it's lot quicker than when I played for Berserker, the standard is not too bad. "For 16-17 year-olds it is something to look to." Rose said the two wide players, Michael Cay and Johnathon Sauer impressed him. "The young boys in the team can only get better and better," he added. The Cougars, of course, has a blend of players in its squad and Rose remembered a few of them from his time here. "I played with Bobsie (Roy Bob) and Smithy (assistant coach Brad Smith)," he recalled. "Spotty (Clayton Rowland) was always tough to play against and Coxie (Danny Cox) was a very good striker." Rose and his family left Rockhampton yesterday for Brisbane and return to Romania in a couple of weeks.Thursday, May 22, 2008

Politehnica Timisoara - Universitatea Craiova 1-3
Maybe one of the most beautiful games in this year. Once again the opponent team took the lead of the game. It was 1-0 for Timisoara very quick. But the kids of Universitatea Craiova scored three times . Florin Costea 2 goals and Mihai Dina one. We have put 3 more points in the table and we were expecting for more against Steaua and Dinamo Bucharest.
Universitatea Craiova - Otelul Galati 1-1
Without the most important players in the field, Universitatea Craiova met Otelul Galati. The guest team scored first, but the youngest players of Craiova came back and scored for 1-1. Our goal was signed by Mihai Dina. We need to remember that this match was the first game for Silviu Lung jr in first Romanian football division.
Universitatea Cluj - Universitatea Craiova 2-0
A match without history. The team from Cluj finished the competition on the last position. they will play in the second football division next year. I can not explain what they did to win against Universitatea Craiova.

Another game in which the opponent team scored first. Universitatea Craiova found again the resources to come back and the final score was 1-1. Our team goal was scored by Mihai Dina.

Another goal scored by Florin Costea after an assist of Michael Baird. Universitatea Craiova gathered another 3 points in the table.
Universitatea Craiova - Rapid Bucharest 1-1
It was a beautiful game. The players from Craiova did a good fight with their opponents but the score finished wrong. Why? Because the referee canceled a regular goal scored by Michael Baird. Rapid scored first, but Universitatea get the draw thank to Florin Costea who scored for 1-1. Monday, May 19, 2008
Mircea Bornescu
One of the most beloved football players in Craiova is Mircea Bornescu. The goalkeeper of Universitatea Craiova has a strong relation with the fans of the team.
That is a very impresive video. Mircea Bornescu is the man in yellow T-shirt.
Unirea Urziceni - Universitatea Craiova 2-2
It was a very nice game this one. Unirea Urziceni had 2-0 after 45 minutes of maximum intensity play. Universitatea Craiova lead this game from the firts minute until the last. The goals of the opponents were scored thanks to individual mistakes made by our team. After the break, Craiova's players entered more determined in the field and the final score was a draw who let both teams to hope for a better future. Our goals were scored by Michael Baird and Julius Wobay.

Oltenia - a holly land
Oltenia is the region where Craiova is. This region contains 5 districts: Olt, Dolj, Vîlcea, Gorj, Mehedinti. It is placed in South-West of Romania and used to be the richest part of Valachia, the ancient name of Romania between XIIth and XIXth Centuries. For this reason the financial center of Valachia was in Craiova, which was called Bania. This word means in ancient Romanian language "the bank" or the place were the money is.
This name was received because in this part of Romania there are long and wealthy fields which are very good for agriculture. In that period Romania was a great producer of grain, corn and food. All the money resulted where gathered in Craiova where the richest men used to live. That is the reason for well known pride of actual Oltenia's people. Even the money were here, the political strings and buttons were pulled and pressed in Bucharest. That is the reason for a traditional hate between Craiova and Bucharest.
In soccer, this rival spirit was conserved. And the reason was the permanent repression of Bucharest's rulers against Universitatea Craiova, the most beloved Romanian football team. In our days, Universitatea Craiova fight against Bucharest, and a victory against Steaua, Dinamo or Rapid Bucharest is very appreciated here. This is Oltenia's spirit. Universitatea Craiova is our religion.

Universitatea Craiova - Dinamo Bucharest 1-1
It is a great rivality between Universitatea Craiova and Dinamo Bucharest. As a matter of fact the people from Craiova doesn't like any team from Bucharest. That is because they are all ex-comunist teams. Dinamo Bucharest is the football team of Ceausescu's political police called "Securitatea".
Universitatea Craiova did a good game against Dinamo Bucharest. Unfortunately a mistake chain of the refere lead to this draw result.The goal of Universitatea Craiova was scored by Ciprian Tanasa in the 36th minute of the game.

Universitatea Craiova - UT Arad 0-1
The 6th game lost in line by Universitatea Craiova. A team which last year won against all the others, now needs to bend over in front of all Romanian oponents. Such an evolution can not be explained.
The result was established in the 50th minute by A. Prepelita (owngoal). The crisis is obvious. We need a way to get out of it.
