Cold and wet and no points for Gencler

What a damp squib of a way to snap your 10 match unbeaten run.

Genclerbirligi 0 - 1 Alanyaspor

First half and no shots on goal for Gencler. Just a whole heap of niggling, annoying football that made me glad I was sitting in a pub and not at the match.

Second half and things brightened up at the Alerta with the arrival of Jim and Damon and Harun a couple of other Ankaragucu kankas whose misery was to start a bit later on. (see the report just below this one)

For Gencler though things weren't looking too good. We had a couple of close chances in the second half but we were sucker punched by a side that quite frankly is just as crap as us.

The wind roared and the rain poured down at the 19 Mayis and well it was all just rubbish.

I actually think that the 10-game unbeaten run was a fluke and Gencler Manager Umit Ozat was just extremely lucky. Fortunately for us, that streak may well save us from relegation.

EDIT: I just saw this brilliant review of the match by a member of the Alkaralar fan group, Ilker Karabulut

Alper Uludağ: Esas mevkisi sol bek, stoper oynadı.
Kemal Issah: Esas mevkisi orta saha, sağ bek oynadı.
Jailton: Esas mevkisi kanatlar, santrafor oynadı.
Sessegnon: Esas mevkisi forvet arkası, sağ açık oynadı.
Ümit Özat: Esas mevkisi Beyaz TV yorumculuğu, teknik direktör oynadı.

Translation
Alper Uludağ: His normal position is left back, he played as a stopper.
Kemal Issah: His normal position is midfield, he played as a right back.
Jailton: His normal position is on the wing, he played as a centre forward.
Sessegnon: His normal position is a forward. he played open right.
Ümit Özat: His normal position is as a Beyaz TV commentator, he played as a technical director.

    The bottom line though is ..... great to be with Gencler and Ankaragucu kankas at The Alerta even if both of us lost. A great venue and great people !!!
