A farewell… (Not really)

By: Lugo | March 23rd, 2008

At the time i’m writing this, Junior is drawing 0-0 against Envigado. Hopefully the sharks can get a good result. In this case, trust me, this away draw would be a good result. But whatever this result is, i have to confess that I’ve had it with this team. Not only is a total shame and a disgrace to this city, but it is totally uninspiring and unwatchable, and its dwelling bottom last in the table. Maybe relegation would be a good thing. Maybe the second division can motivate this team. Honestly, I really don’t care anymore. Specially -And this is another confession that i’m making- because i’m not a fan of this team. I’ve never been and i’ve never will be. I only decided to blog about Junior because I moved to Barranquilla and I had a project to work with the management of this team but they completely ignored it. Then I had trouble with my ISP and had to be absent for a while. But when I could come back, I realized that I’m not into the business of carrying the burden of the drama of I team that I don’t really follow. So if YOU, dear reader, want to take over this blog, feel free to follow the instructions in the bottom of the right sidebar and apply to be Junior’s blogger because if not, then the Colombian section will be due for a total makeover since i am formally requesting the powers that be that I want my blog to be about Colombian football in general. Those of you following probably think that I’m finally doing what I wanted from the beginning and maybe you’re right. But I was still good to undertake the journalistic excercise of reporting about this team of the city that I am now living in. And that’s in part why I never requested a blog for my team, the one I followed when I was in Bogota and the one I will always love. No, i’m not saying it because my next blog has to be totally neutral but feel free to guess: the teams from Bogotá are Santa Fe, Millonarios and Equidad.

So for now on, I’ll only talk about the sharks whenever they are relevant in the general scheme of Colombian football, on the meantime, i’ll talk about whatever else is relevant. And i’ll finally be able to spit on that piece on nicknames that i’ve been munching for so long. It will be good.

FYI, Junior is now losing 1-0. No surprises.
