Kris, I have not commented much but have been reading. The storyline is really great and your writing is fantastic. I am absolutely loving it. One of the best on the site.! :D
 
Top stuff Kris, will be looking out for updates, the only story on here that I actually am following.
 
I see the Mila storyline is evolving, no matter what else the story brings having that as an almost sub-plot will always be a bonus in the already great writing.

Keep it up.
 
I like the way you make something fake become realistic...

This story is so great!
 
I'm glad Mila is becoming more and more a part of the story. Great stuff, keep it up!
 
Again I would like to thank everyone who comments on this thread, your encouraging words are what keep this story going :)

Last night we left Kaunas for a short flight to Koprivnica, Croatia. Kaunas, despite there demotion to the Third Division of Lithuanian football, are in the UEFA Europa League. So here we are in sunny Croatia, in what has to be one of the strangest scenario's in modern day football.

Koprivnica is at the very north of Croatia and is a few hundred miles west of the Hungarian border. As we arrived our coach was greeted by the General manager,Chairman and the mayor of the town, Zvonimir Mršić. After a few pleasantries I sent the squad to there hotel to rest before dinner.

Eddie and I then got a tour of the Gradski stadion u Koprivnici. They told us that the ground could fill 5,000 strong and boasted about the club's new floodlights, which allowed them to play evening fixtures for the first time in there history.

The following day we trained at the stadium, got a feel for the surface and then i allowed the squad some free time. In the evening we discussed tactic's for tomorrow's game.

In the league I like to encourage creative freedom and allow the players to express themselves. Slavan Belupo finished 4th in the Croatian 1st division last season and are a much stronger side than we are. This would be no walk in the park.

Slaven Belupo 4 - 0 FBK Kaunas

Out shown and out classed. Despite having the majority of possession we struggled to get past there strong and organised defence. It was obvious they had been together a few years and worked as a unit. I don't feel they are too much better than us technically.

I doubt there is too much left to play for in Lithuania except pride and experience. I think it's safe to say, I can put my passport away for a while.
 
Respect to you Kris for keeping up with this. Good read,an object lesson in the art if story making. Well done. :)
 
Unlucky with that result Sirk ;)

Still expressive writing though (H)

Thanks JP, I know I don't update as much as others and it may affect the popularity but the kind comments keep it going.
