Children’s Day is a pretty big holiday in Turkey with the little ones being given gifts and having special celebrations for them. In addition, the President, Prime Minister, cabinet members and other goverment officials all turn their offices over to the kids for the day and they enact laws relating to children, education, and the [...]

Our squad is full of some very classy foreigners such as Baros, Lincoln, and Nonda, but even though he just arrived this year, Harry Kewell has already won the hearts of the CimBom faithful. Harry brought that extra bit of technique and finesse that this squad sorely needed, as shown with his 6 goals and [...]

With only 6 matches left in the season, it’s time to add up our chances to actually win something this year. It isn’t ideal, but the CimBom still has a chance to win the title. Here’s the league table:

Besiktas 56
Trabzonspor 53
Galatasaray 51
Fenerbahce 48

When derby’s go bad- Galatasaray 0-0 Fenerbahce

In essence I guess that this match was exactly what both teams deserve. One is 4th place while the other is in 5th place. Both teams have dangerously unbalanced squads which (barring some of the Turkish youngsters) show no desire to win trophies at all. The match was brutal and mind numbing.
Overall Galatasaray dominated the [...]

By: Musab | No Comments
I had the pleasure of visiting Antep this summer and it was definitly a positive experience. The largest and most modern of Turkey’s Eastern cities, Antep had everything from cars blaring Turkish and Kurdish folksongs to those fantastic pistachios (I smuggled roughly three bags back home).
