U ligaškom košarkaškom derbiju, Zvezda je savladala Partizan sa 85:74. Ovaj put kao domaćini, crveno-beli su održavali visok gotovo 35 minuta, dok je utakmica bila začinjena bakljama sa obe tribine.

U 153. Večitom derbiju, rezultat je bio 1:1. Samo dva gola, nebrojeno prekida, te igra nedostojna najveće domaće prvenstvene utakmice.

The derby between Zvezda and Partizan ended with a draw (1-1), though representing a defeat of the entire sport. The slow moving game, cut up by constant fouls gave very little viewing pleasure to around 40k fans. The stadium was becoming empty even before the final whistle.

Poznati su akteri, poznato je i da derbi ne bi bio derbi, ako me ne prati neka prehlada. Čisto da garantuje odlazak na stadion u dobrom društvu. Pratite me na Instagramu, za foto i video materijale, koji će biti dopunjavani u zavisnosti od uslova, a izveštaj standardno. Po povratku iz rovova.

Rezultatski polovičnog značaja, fudbalski odavno izgubljen, navijački, jedno od poslednjih uporišta za pravu predstavu na tribinama… Neka nam je sa srećom 154. derbi.


A football derby (Zvezda- Partizan) wouldn’t be a true derby, if I were a hundred percent healthy. The standard cold has arrived tonight, making sure I went to the stadium in good company.

The afternoon and evening will be all about Serbian football. Full report once I’m back from the trenches, and live materials on Instagram – @sideline_srb, as much as the conditions allow it.

I will keep you updated through the noise and all the colorful pyro smoke, that is bound to put a delay in the match, at least once.

Utisak sa 151. Večitog derbija je u najmanju ruku negativan. Susret Zvezde i Partizana, obeležile su međusobne tuče, te sukobi sa policijom. Na samom terenu, više nego mirno za krajnjih 1-1.

Red Star wins the 150th Serbian Derby

Crvena zvezda savladala je Partizan u jubilarnom 150. Večitom derbiju, rezultatom 2:1. Pred punim stadionom JNA, crveno-beli su došli do rekordne prednosti na tabeli od čak 68 poena, čak 32 više od večitog rivala.

Red Star beats Partizan by 2:1 on an away match that marked the 150th anniversary of Serbia’s biggest derby. A world known rivalry has offered many interesting moments for the home and foreign fans on a chilly Saturday evening. 

The 170th encounter between Manchester United and Manchester City ends at 0-0. After 93 minutes of play, and an occasional good opportunity for the home team, no goals were seen at Old Trafford. A disappointing ending, for what was supposed to be a real spectacle for fans around the globe. Despite the zeros on the monitor, City goes onto being the EPL leader for the week. While the fans go and take a nap.

Konačni rezultat je bio 3-1, a strelci: Ugo Viejra, u 27. i 50. minutu, te Aleksandar Karai, u 55. minutu, za pravi delirijum na tribinama stadiona “Rajko Mitić”. Počasni pogodak, još na prvom poluvremenu, postigao je Alen Stevanović (45′), nakon dobrog pasa Stefana Babovića, te katastrofalne greške golmana Damira Kahrimana.
