Hopefully since this is a Worthington Cup match against lower opposition Jovan will get to see a good amount of playing time. I'm going to try to make my way over for the match and get some pictures, but I'm not 100% sure I'm going so don't get your hopes up if you are really expecting some pictures. At least the mighty Stern John will be playing. what a good striker he is
from www.bcfc.com '' Bruce confirmed that Stan Lazaridis, Curtis Woodhouse, Darryl Powell and Jovan Kirovski will all play against the Third Division side. ''
ok, I'm not going. I was just reminded by a friend that there is a tube strike today, and it would just take far too long to get there (its on the east side, I'm outside of town on the west) I'll give updates as its being shown live on TV in England.

What a good goal by the orient. someguy shook his man on the top left of the box, made a run tward the endline and sent in a perfect cross that was powered into the goal via the crossbar. Orient 1 - 2 Brum
Damien Johnson is on for Kiro. From what i saw (the 2'nd half) Jovan wasn't playing well at all. Mostly giving away the ball when he would actually get it, which wasn't often
JK off on 70'. Probably not an effort that boosts him into a starting role over Carter, Devlin or Johnson--but he'll still be the mix off the subs bench.
Sure hope Stern finds some good guys to play with come the '06 quals. I miss watching him playing for the Crew.
