It's the only friggin' league still going in Europe - let's all pick a team and start following!

I've opted for the delightfully monikered "Slutsz FC"

There's also Dinamo Brest and Ruh Brest (which is oh sooo close to 'Rub Brest') if you'd like an alternative team with a childishly funny name.

This weekend's fixtures:

Friday
18hr - Neman Grodno vs Belshina

Saturday
13hr Slutsk vs Vitebsk
15hr Torpedo BelAZ vs Energetyk-BGU
17hr Gorodeyavs Dinamo Minsk

Sun
14hr Minsk vs BATE
16hr Smolevichy-STI vs Shakhtyor
18hr Dinamo Brest vs Isloch

Mon
16hr30 Slavia vs Ruh Brest

hahahaha - just noticed there's a team called "STI" too.

They must've taken a pounding from Slutsk, methinks.

Anyway - Come on you Slutsk!!!!!

Go Slutsk!!!!

Whoooooooooooo!

There's some footy to look forward to!!!

Just need to find out what time these kick off times translate to in local time then all that remains is to find a stream.

Sadly none of the clubs have Claret as a home kit but Dinamo Brest do have a Claret & Blue away kit.

I might have to switch allegiance to Dinamo Brest.

They've still got a cool name too.

The only thing against is they've got a Man City style home kit.

FC Vitebsk also have Claret & Blue away kit but it's only blue trim - not blue sleeves. They also don't have a funny name.

Decisions decisions.

Rowls, do you work night shift?

OK. Put me down for torpedo zhodino.
Their third kit looks a bit Newport countyish but I worked in Newport for a good few years so can live with that.

Been supporting fk Slutsz for at least 2 weeks
We came from behind to win 3-2 at weekend against Isloch
If you didn't support them in march you are a plastic

Slutz vs dynamo breasts
Come on these cannot be real names.

The Slutz players sing get your tits out for the lads to the crowd.

In that case I'll have Isloch. They were clearly robbed. VAR would have disallowed the Sluts'zes first goal. And the second, and the third. Come on you Isloch.

Is it on TV?

Lets not - putting people at undue risk for purely economic gain - even the ultra groups have protested that they are still playing

Torpedo Bel for me.

Info on teams above and there closest Premier league fit. Burnley = Fk Slutsz.

Ruh BREAST for me then, rather SUPPORT them than say a team lime BRAdford or BRISTOL TITY Hope they can win the (B)elarus CUP this season too.
Crikey, I think I've too much time on my hands

I watched 10-15 minutes of 3 games last week, the only team I can remember was BATE who usually qualify for the Europa League. It is pretty dismal stuff played in dismal surrounds (apart from BATE which looked like a stadium) usually a 4g pitch and a temporary stand with no one in it , overlooked by tower blocks. Very few goals and a lot of yellow cards.

If you have a bet365 account which is funded you can watch all the games on there, I have fallen asleep during 2 of them.

Minsk , always a place i would like to go to well along with 5,000 others .

So yer why not " stand up for the Minski boys " or " come on your boys in Minsk "

Bate are probably one of the best teams in the league having given Arsenal a bit of a game,i suppose if your desperate for a live game its a watch, beats gardening, decorating or arguing with the missus on a saturday afternoon, although since the lockdown i quite look forward to our daily shouting match with her indoors when she wants to watch a place in the f...ing son. Enjoy your Easter everyone.

This is a novel idea mannequins,i wonder if the EFL/PL clubs will adopt that if we're facing games with empty stadiums.It would be one way of the smaller teams generating some revenue.

I must say i'm surprised they're still carrying on playing,mind you their president makes our politicians look masterly.

Rowls, do you work night shift?

I've not worked a single second since lockdown which was 15th March here.

Since then, neither time of day nor day of week hath dominion over me.

Didn’t we play Dinamo Brest sometime in the 90’s?

Don't think that we have played Dinamo Brest but you may be thinking about Dynamo Moscow who we played in a friendly at the Turf in 92.

Hi Pete,

2 from Park View under the name of deluded

Thanks!

Yes, we played Dynamo Brest at Turf Moor on Monday 17th December 1990, we won 1-0 with Ray Deakin scoring the only goal.

Add an hour onto those KO times.

Watched last half hour of the Neman game yesterday, wasn't bad to be fair.

Ahh Ray Deakin a blast from the past. I remember buying a pair of his brothers shoes way back when.

Yes. I'm an Isloch fan. But you can join the supporters' club - more the merrier!

We're off!

Come on You Sluts!

0-0 at the moment everybody.

Somebody had a shot a few minutes ago but it went wide.

Very wide.

Slutsk 0-1 Vitebsk

Blast.

Get it sorted manager!

Live Steam. About 70 in the crowd, 1.5k on Youtube

0-2

No coming back from this now.

I've wasted over an hour.

F&*king Slutsk

Finished 1-1. So few watching you can hear the players and coaches shouting.

1-0 torpedo.

Get in

Andrey khatchaturian scores. Thought he was a composer.

Looked in Clarets Chronicles. Found the match, and my programme.

I stand corrected (as usual) Rammy, UTC.

For the record, we won 1-0. Ray Deakin scoring the goal.
