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.

Andrei Ionescu signed for Craiova

Andrei Ionescu, the most important Romanian young player from the last 10 years in Craiova signed yesterday a five years contract with Universitatea Craiova.This young player debuted for Universitatea Craiova at 17 years in Romanian second Football League. He was the most important midfield of our team. When he made 18 years old he finished his junior carrier being forced by the law to sign a profesional contract with the team who discovered him. The negociations took about 6 months but finally, the result was great. He will play for Craiova next week against FC Vaslui.
Today, Universitatea Craiova meets UTA Arad in a game without viewers. That is because last match our fans made troubles in Bucharest on Rapid's stadium. Let's hope for a good result.

Another game lost by Universitatea Craiova. That was the 4th. It was 0-0 until 90th minute of the game. In the last minute Unirea Urziceni get a penalty kick and scored for 3 points. That was really a bad luck.

Pandurii Tg Jiu - Universitatea Craiova 2-0

Another lost game. Universitatea Craiova lost the game against Pandurii Tg Jiu and now is on the 12th place on the table. That is almost a tragedy because our team used to win the games played in Tg Jiu. This result is worst than in last years.The trainer Florin Cioroianu presented his resigantion. But the board of Universitatea Craiova refused to aprove it. The new general manager of our team is Ilie Balaci. 4 players were sent to the second team (Stoica, Saceanu, Dina, Gargalie) and other 2 were 10,000 $ imposed (Baird, Bornescu). In this game Universitatea Craiova used the following team:
Bornescu – Dananae, Ciuca, Mitchell, Rose – Prepelita (’78 Wobay), Gargalie, Velcovici – Costea I, Baird, Dina (’68 Saceanu).

In the next game against Unirea Urziceni we can not use Stoica, Dina, Saceanu, Gargalie (sent to the second team), Michael Baird (red carded in Tg Jiu), Tanasa and Bornescu (medical problems). Our technical stuff need to find young players who replace them.

You can see a short resumee of this game here:

Olteniada

A new hip-hop band from Craiova made a song dedicated to Oltenia region. This is a part of Romania which lives to support Universitatea Craiova. Without using demanding words, Universitatea Craiova is a religion for this part from Romania.This new band is called C.I.A. which stands for Craiova Independent Artists, and the song is Olteniada.

I can give you all the lyrics of it, but unfortunately they are all in Romanian language:

C.I.A. - Olteniada feat. Mutu, MCA & Dj Hash

Ca vorbim de Tudor Gheorghe, Balaci sau Amza Pelea
Rashid, Byga, Mutu, Phila, MCA sau Alex Velea
Simtim la fel, gandim la fel, traim la fel
Avem acelasi sange, acelasi vis, acelasi tel
Noi am deschis un drum interzis pana acum
Nu iese fum fara foc da' nici foc fara fum
Aveti in fata o noua generatie, in strada pentru natie
Un nou punct de atractie
Monden, nu, in nici un caz, aici nu cer
Sa se mute Prada , Richmond sau Dior in cartier
Nu cer masini, le avem deja pe toate aici
De la Dacii ruginite pana la Bmw seria 5
“Dolla dolla million”, asta vrem sa avem
S-aruncam industria muzicala in aer cu tot cu sistem
Cu tot cu CNA, cu toate curvele din presa
Atentie copii puteti gasi olteni pe piesa

Noi ne pastram credinta in inimi langa Stiinta
Si sangele fierbinte din Lapus in Craiovita
Iesim din cartiere in zgomot de mortiere
Mirosu’ de asfalt si bassu’ in portiere
Perfectu’ e prea simplu aici, deci ne bucuram de defecte
Suntem deja prea multi chiar daca nimeni nu ne vede
C.I.A. , Mutu , Viollent si MCA
C-avem ce arata si raspundem ca RCA
De aici in 10 ani vom fi tot aici nu pentru bani
Nici pentru fani, nici pentru pizde, ca le avem deja
Si daca muzica ne facem sa spunem ce simtim
O sa cantam si fara bani, asta conteaza prea putin
Dar e nevoie si de asta intelege
Ca fara apreciere nu poti face sa se lege
Macar doua cuvinte, ce sufletul le simte
Daca eu iti dau ce simt sa cumpere cine simte !

N-am nimic cu Bucurestiu', acolo se-ntampla tot
Insa, o singura chestie nu halesc deloc
Suferinte gen "*****, noi suntem din capitala"
Cand toti va trageti din neamuri de undeva din tara
Intrebati-va parintii, sigur nu se dezic
Asta daca nu le-a fost ciobanu' Bucur strabunic
Si chiar si-asa, hai sa dam mana cu mana
Desi, tot parca seaman-a dinastie de stana
Hoo, ma ca glumeam, stiu ca acum zambesti
Da' mai patimasi si patrioti ca noi n-o sa gasesti
Tot ce-auzi facem cu drag si zau ca are haz
Si ne e lejer, c-o durere maxima-n praz
Aici chiar e hip-hop, asculta, nu deliram
Fara influentze grave, mereu ne reinventam
Pana si judetu' e element indiscutabil
Cu mii de DJ inmatriculati in carosabil !

Suntem olteni adica suntem multi
Osteni gata sa mute munti, gusteri sar sprinteni da-s mult prea muti
S-ar tripa dar cad pe rand pierduti
Las' ca-s demult tinuti in cuib multi pe baricade dati disparuti
Scuip ascuns printre betoane intr-o metropola ce sare
Din tipare, muzica sacra ce cade greu in timpane
Spui ca sunt taran priveste in dotare
Am bate, seceri, coase, baieti cu priviri brutale
Sunt vremuri grele noi avem zile cu soare
Acelasi sange in vene vere provincie latina nemuritoare
Condusi la razboi, decimand zeci de armate
Vegheati de Mihai , Arghezi si vocea lui Tudor in spate
Deci lupta taras pe coate cu truda suporta forte brute
Dau pace din valcea pana in rovine oricarei redute
Dau gloante de avertisment fugi, du-te, fereste-te
O ardem ca la Craiova “gen” vrei sa ne opresti ? Opreste-te !

Hip-hopu' n-a murit, intre noi doar fie vorba
S-a mutat mai hacana, ia ghici unde? la Craiova
Febra Sudului contamineaza tara
Cu flow-uri ametitoare-n cascade ca Niagara
Nu seamana a nimic, suna putin altfel
Orice rima, orice beat, suna putin altfel
Pentru ca suntem aparte, insa ne vezi peste tot
Si ne recunosti usor, dupa vorba, dupa port
Din zeci de mii de inimi ce tuna pe Oblemenco
Venim in pas allegro mai spontani ca trupa Deko
Zburdam pe orice tempo, aroma a la Prazilia
Cu Proxima Evita, ViolLent, ori La Familia
Avem oltencele fiebinti ca zilele lungi ale verii
Noptile nebune-cu picaturile reci ale berii
Iti luam ceasu' de la mana, nu vezi nimic inapoi
Ca de-acum ora exacta se da numai la noi !

Ştiinţa presented their players yesterday on “Ion Oblemenco” stadium. The match for presentation was played against FC Caracal (Second League team). The final score was 3-0 and it leave me speachless. Craiova used the new ADIDAS T-shirts which will be the equipment provider for the year 2007-2008. It seems it bring us good luck.

Copa America

These days in South America was played Copa America. A competition which gather the most important American national football teams. As everybody wanted to in the final game played Argentina versus Brazil. The score was 3-0 for "Cariocas" but this result doesn't matter to much for us. We have two girls who represent those both countries. One of them is Sabrina Sabrok, the front girl of a rock band from Argentina.

And the other one is a Brazil's fan babe. They both have something to show. But you are the only one who decide which one fits better with your taste.

Havana Beach

Constanta, Romania. On the Black See beach there is a place dedicated for Cuba. It is called Havana beach.Mamaia is a holiday town which is prepared for the tourists who like the sun and the salt water. If you arrive in Romania, I sugest you to visit it.

There are a lot of hotels, night clubs, disco bars and more than all open air restaurants. You can eat almost everything from Romanian traditional kitchen to Italian, Turkish or even Greek food. If you go there, you will like the trip.
