Crvena Zvezda under new coach Walter Zenga dropped two points in their opening League game of the 2005/06 campaign in a 2-2 draw away to Hajduk Kula. Defending champions Partizan got their campaign off to a good start with a 2-0 win over newly promoted Jedinstvo.
Walter Zenga !!! Jeez was wondering where he ws now !
When are the Belgrade derbies scheduled for ?
I heard Zenga was sacked from smewhere??? :confused:
yeah they kicked him out of Steaua Bucharest
when did they do that ? is that Steaua's old manager?
Zenga was shown the door by Steaua in April of 2005 I think. He got the Red Star gig in July following the resignation of the previous coach. They lost the Yugo Cup Final to Zeleznik who have merged with a lower Division club beginning with V and will be known by that latter name this season.Quote:

His resignation was accepted by the FA who have appointed the vice-president as interim FA President until the next selection.
For some reason that information has not been stuck on the web thus far. As soon as I can locate it I will post it here for you.Quote:

Did you look around at all CTID? Partizan's site says Zvezda v Partizan is on the 15th of October.
Zvezda were beaten by Zemun 1-0 today. Partizan have just beaten Sartid 2-1.
Poor Student
Partizan's site told me nothing yesterday and Zvezdas is undergoing a revamp so no fixtures there either. That Zemun result is a shocker. If Zvezda don't win on October 15th they can kiss this season's title goodbye.
I have to correct you.. FC Rad were beaten by Zemun. Zvezda were idle because their game was postponed due to being on UEFA Cup duty on Thursday in Croatia , which they won 3-1 incidentally.Quote:

Just to go off on a tangent here for anyone in the know whats the historical rivalry between Partizan and Red Star? Would I be right in thinking Red Star are the more left wing of the two :confused:
Red Star - Cetniks (Serb nationalists) Went to a match in the Marakana stadium last year against Zemun and alot of flagwaving going. CCCC flags
Partizan - traditionally Yugophiles (probably changed now)as they were the club of the JNA & Tito. The Black & Whites still get alot of support in the former YU republics. I have a few Macedonian mates and there Partizan nutters.
btw CTID is a Cetnik. :D
Going back to Serbia real soon. Hopefully in late September. Great place for food, beer and ahem, the ladies.
Good man yourself Partizan, always fascinated by Eastern European soccer tho I know next to f all about it. anyone recommend good books, dvds, etc. :confused:Quote:

Don't forget I was in the JNA Stadium cheering on your lot in the Champions League back in December 2003. I have not yet been to a Zvezda game.
Shame they were made change the name of the country. I liked the idea of a 2 republic Yugoslavia. I actually own 5 different National team shirts. 4 of them Yugoslavia only 1 is Serbia/Montenegro. My support of Zvezda stems from my admiration of some of their players such as Dzajic, when they played for Yugoslavia in the 1974 World Cup.
I endorse what you say about the place especially the women. Yugobabes rock.
P.S. For the record Tito was my favourite Communist leader ever!
