No. I love when gobshites keep bumping threads.

@Hansern, can you explain why the team that beat Mourinho’s Roma 6:1 is called Bodø/Glimt? What’s with the slash? Is that a thing in Norway?

Yeah, there are a few teams in Norway who have that slash. Its old and was established in the 50s or something. They were just called Glimt, but another team were called the same so they added Bodø. Which is the name of the city itself.

They are from the north of Norway. An amazingly beautiful place but small. 42 000 live there and its quite insane that they have the best football team in Norway. And obviously are doing so well in Europe. Their coach is excellent, they play brilliant football and have developed loads of young players.
They were even better last season but sold their entire front three. Zinkernagel went to Watford, Hauge (great young player) to Milan (now Frankfurt) and Junker to Urawa in Japan.

Could one of the admins lock this thread? @Rosco please do the honours.

Worth keeping it open til now to learn random shit about small Norwegian teams though
