They won promotion in 2017 to the top division, finished 11th out of 16th in 2018, 2nd in 2019 and now sit nearly 20 points clear of second with just 19 matches played. A good young team! They only missed out going to the Europa League a week ago as they drew AC Milan AWAY in the Third Qualifying Round - they only lost 3-2. Junker actually scored the opening goal of the game. AC Milan hit back with 3 goals and Bodo/Glimt's best player (apparently) a left winger, Jens Hauge, scored a second but they couldn't find a late equaliser. It looks like they gave a good account of themselves, AC Milan were obviously the better team, but it wasn't dominant. It would be interesting to see what makes this team tick, because they're playing at a very high level. I have absolutely no doubt that a couple of the players, at least, will be well worth a watch. All good points, but please believe me when I say that the quality in that league is very low... Watched plenty of SK Brann over the last few years to know that ?

I feel for him but that's like saying I got whacked by a black guy so I can tell racist jokes. But we are in different times and regret is a key word now. I'm sure like many others I laughed at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the context of Boardman's act, which revolves around his hatred of 'dem Jairmans' he is effectively calling them fokkers. Now I know his jokes are tongue in cheek but what he could be seen as doing is bracketing one category of people as the same and in a derogatory fashion. I personally feel comedy is being destroyed by over-zealous reaction to potential harm. I'm just setting out a modern interpretation which prevails (guilt over mistakes of the past) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
