The only dangerous thing in Romania is that you just don't get to bed in time, thanks to the price and quality of the local drinks. Romanian brewers have the funny opinion that part of their product range has to bear a German name by the way, therefore, you end up in confusion with beers being called names like "Neumarkt" etc.. Saw a match in front of a crowd of less than 5000 and god, both times definitely deserve to be in the same place in the summer of 2010 - at home in front of the TV. Now back to REAL football again with the big match tomorrow in Saalfelden, that's what counts... Hey, I am back in one piece and good condition.

Gebhard – speaking of being captured by a Romanian policeman, has anyone heard from Harry since he went to Bucharest the other day..?!

After the first one being captured by a Romanian policeman at the 1995 Steaua champions league qualifier, we quickly produced a replica that is still in use. A modernized version came in 2007 and was for the first time produced by a professional printer - with the result of a somewhat pinkish colour. So finally, here comes the new design and a very fine printer quality at last! Besides that, we threw away the whole old "design" and relaunched the website, merchandising stuff etc etc. with the new logo. It fits quite nicely, doesn't resemble any sticky energy drink logo at all! This latest banner follows a long line of “Absolut” predecessors.

We brought them back into the match after the opener with an own goal but put things straight just shortly before the interval. The Absolut banner was once again proudly on display. What a masterpiece it is, beautiful and proud. And personally, I like the reference to Guinness, it reflects the spirit of this community... Personally, it's a fine day for me, appearing for the first time in my life in person on an English website. So what else could come?

Will the new design take the club back to it's rightful place in the top tier of Austrian football? Either way it's likely to end up covered in Stiegl. Prost!
