I hear you loud and clear... And the pundits were already pointing out the inevitable at the end last season.
Round 26: The game of the season is upon us. (or will we have anudder ) You know the battle between The Miners and Dynamo. So lets analyze just a bit. Dynamo has control of their destiny. They have been good this season. An undefeated streak of 25 games and only allowing 9 goals. That's real tuff! BUTT! Nothing will count if they lose and hand control to The Miners. Having a 3 point cushion is nice. Unfortunately this game will be in front of a sellout unfriendly crowd at Donbas Arena. So do Dynamo have the *balls* to pull this championship right in this game. I think it will be too tuff. So do the bookies! A draw might be the best result. Leave Donets'k with that 3 point cushion in place. Bookies are not so sure. So a loss places us in a Golden Game situation - that is if both teams play the rest of the season out by their form (which is win all their remaining games). Shaxtar 8/11on Draw 12/5 Dynamo 7/2
Metalist has fallen in a hole knowing full well that elimination from the Europa League only leaves then with the PL... And their 3rd place is secure. They really don't have a chance for the ECL spots so I don't see them winning against SD. Today's the game we've been waiting for!
I think that while the referee could avoid giving the second yellow, I still think it is more or less deserved by Harmash. What I am not happy about is referee refusing to card Srna while Yarmolenko got carded for so much less...
So we're back to square one. After Shakhtar's 2-0 victory against ten-man Dynamo, the teams seem poised for the golden match. I am a bit exasperated at Dynamo playing two Ballotellis. At least Khacheridi seems to be improving technically and gaining excellent experience. But Harmash is that strange mix of great talent and weak mind that causes a card every game. The first card was fully deserved, yet unwarranted and so was the second. But, please someone tell me, what must Srna do to get carded? Punch somebody?
God, that little punk Harmash. How they allow idiots like that, who don't even know how to fake being injured, to play for Dynamo, I don't know. Still, it was disheartening that Dynamo looked livelier a man down than they did with 11 men. This season seems like its going to a golden match. Does anybody know where they'll play it?
Watching this, I don't understand why Syomin got sent off. It wasn't as though he did anything different from anybody else during the scrum. And why on earth would Dynamo use a substitution on the 87th minute when you're down two.
Harmash really was poor and although I thought the referee was baiting him I think he new he was faking his injury. What a rookie mistake. Rolling all over the ground and then sprinting to the other side of the ground and going off. Why? And then crying like a baby... OMG! Where is the mental tuffness of these guys. Syomen bitching like an agro. Doesn't he know that he has 50,000+ fans who are luvin' that he's pissed and a man down! And Sashinka Aliev... WTF! What kind of behavior is that? Syomen IMO made the mistake of not playing Aliev from the start. Harmash is just a can of problems... OK Dynamo I reckon will get a anudder shot a Shaxtar. Its what the YFF wants. A bit of spotlight on YKPAIHA before Euro 2012.
How did anyone think about the play of Shevchuk and khacheridi? I thought both internationals did reasonably well. What say the board?
lol did you watch semin? he was swearing the referee down like crazy and kicked the ball out of anger.
I was surprised by Shevchuk. I think the Dynamo defense gave him a wide berth because they didn't consider him a threat, so he had the whole left side to himself. No pressure on him whatsoever, so its difficult to judge. Khacheridi was ok, but that was two goals from inside the box.
How come the referee didn't send some more players off when there was a melee around the benches? I'm sure there were several players including SD players who left the pitch....
Btw Spiridon got red carded as well. Also if you're wondering what Semin was doing: Ассистент главного тренера "Шахтера" Александр Спиридон, как и наставник "Динамо" Юрий Семин, был удален в конце первого тайма. - Я считал Семина очень интеллигентным и воспитанным тренером. Я поражаюсь... Он совсем не прав. Удалили по делу Гармаша. И называть нас людьми неправильной ориентации, еще и оскорбив наших матерей, - это не делает чести ни одному тренеру, - заявил после матча Александр Спиридон.

Damn, these teams friggin' hate each other. Imo this is the most bitter rivalry in Eastern Europe right now.
The reason Shevchuk appeared not to be pressured by DK defense is because we have Danilo Silva on that side. As far as defense is concerned he may as well not be here - he's totally useless defensively.
