Been meaning to start this for a while. A thread for Galician clubs involved in Segunda this year: Pontevedra, Racing Ferrol, and of course Celta. Pontevedra and Racing were promoted from Segunda B, while Celta were relegated last year from Primera. Below are the results of week 5: Alavés 1 - 1 C. de Murcia Sporting 0 - 0 Cádiz Almería 0 - 1 Salamanca Eibar 1 - 0 Córdoba Recreativo 0 - 1 Racing Ferrol Murcia 1 - 1 Celta Pontevedra 1 - 1 Tenerife Xerez 1 - 1 Elche Terrassa 2 - 1 Valladolid Lleida 0 - 1 Pol.

I'm surprised Celta Vigo isn't doing better, they didn't sell off too many players after being relegated, did they? They went from Champions League to relegation. Nice thread idea RandyNA74 .
They sold off a few people (Milosevic for example) but not sure about their current composition. I think they made an effort to keep as many people as possible. Glad you like the thread! It further legitimizes the need for a Galicia forum since now we arent just talking about Deportivo! PS When are we getting our tag line? Terra Sacra is awesome!

Week 7 highlight - Galician derby day in Segunda! Celta and Racing Ferrol met at the Balaídos in Vigo in a game which ended in a 1-1 draw. Racing started strong before retreating into its half for most of the game. Celta took over and was clearly the stronger side but was simply not able to score. Racing scored against the run of play with Juanito in the 20th minute who struck a 40 meter drive. Celta continued its fine play and pulled even with Jandro 5 minutes later. For the remainder of the match, Celta's inability to score saw it end its 5th consecutive match without a win and already the third draw of the season at Balaídos.

It doesn't look like Celta is doing well... I was hoping to see them back up quickly. It's still early, though. Quango
Havent had much time to update this thread. I think Im a couple of rounds behind. Will correct that soon.

The season is still young for Pontevedra. Ideally they can avoid relegation, and stay in the Segunda, but I'm sure they probably don't have the resources. It's incredible how well Racing Ferrol is doing. I just hope Celta Vigo gets relegated again. .
Yes I am surprised by Ferrol, although I dont think they have the resources to get promoted and survive in Primera. Could be wrong though. Celta is struggling like a lot of clubs who get relegated for the first time in many years and will have a tough time coming back up! Bottom line is I don't expect to see any Galician club besides Deportivo in Primera at least for a couple of years!
Round 12. Another win for Celta, but Pontevedra continue to struggle. Valladolid 1 - 0 Recreativo Salamanca 1 - 3 Cádiz Elche 1 - 0 Murcia Tenerife 1 - 0 Sporting Pontevedra 0 - 2 Almería Xerez 0 - 3 Eibar Terrassa 3 - 0 Lleida Córdoba 0 - 1 Celta Pol.

Ugh! Elche knocked us out of la Copa del Rey and they are currently in 5th place. No way we should have lost to them . Come on Pontevedra get out of that relegation zone! Come on Celta fall into the relegation zone!
Yeah I would love to see Pontevedra stay in Segunda, although to be honest I kinda miss the derbies with Celta!! On the one hand it would be "interesting" ( ) to see them get relegated again, but at the same time it's good to have your biggest rival around....altough not for too long! Going back to our elimination, the only consolation is that much worse happened to other teams. Namely, Barcelona who lost against a Segunda B side!! At least Elche is in Segunda!!!
Time to catch up.

Come on, Celta you can do it! There's no place like Primera, There's no place like Primera, There's place like Primera.....
Boooooooooo!!!!! As far as I'm concerned those scum from Vigo can rot in la segunda división for a long time.

Week 17 featured another Galician derby, with Celta beating Pontevedra 2-0. Ferrol finally won another game, so 2 wins this weekend for Galician clubs, though one at the expense of another Galician club.

Ugh! Things are looking bad for Pontevedra. Looks like it will be back to la Segunda B if they don't improve after winter break. I'll be happy as long as Celta stays out of the promotion spots.
