como nós dizemos cá no fórum... o SCBRAGA não é grande, é ENORME!!!

[(S)oon(C)hampion(B)raga]

aqui fica a entrevista de um jogador que eu simplesmente desconheço, que actua actualmente na premier league escocesa, em que este afirma que uma das maiores emoções da sua carreira e um dos pontos altos da mesma foi ter defrontado o ENORME SPORTING CLUBE DE BRAGA

"Tran's dream debut for Locos
Striker relishing fourth round tie

INVERURIE Locos' debut hero Tan-Thanh Tran took just over a minute to turn from a bag of nerves into a clinical striker.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a history-making first start for his new club, firing them to a dream Homecoming Scottish Cup fourth round clash with Motherwell.

A cool finish in 75 seconds capped a storybook day for Tran.

The German-born forward became the first player of Vietnamese descent to feature in the cup.

But despite his superb showing, Tran admits to being racked with nerves when Locos boss Dave Cormie named his side.

He said: "I did not expect to play in the starting eleven.

"We were outside, we did the warm-up and then the manager named the team.

"He said 'number 10, Thanh-Tan' and my heart started to beat twice as fast.

"I was so excited and was really looking forward to the game.

"It was a nice feeling coming out of the changing rooms and going on the pitch.

"Once it started I calmed down and was just concentrating on the game."

Tran clearly gathered his composure in an instant, as he made an immediate impact.

The former Hammer SPVG player latched on to a flick from Danny Milne and scored by coolly lifting the ball over Vale of Leithen keeper Leigh Gordon.

"It was my second touch, said Tran.

"There was a long ball forward and Danny played it with his head.

"I just had to score.''

Scottish Cup minnows Locos now welcome Premier League giants Motherwell to Harlaw Park on Saturday, January 10.

Tran is relishing the chance to take on a top flight side, having only experienced that thrill once before.

He said: "When I was in Germany I played against the Portuguese Premier League side Sporting Braga and that was a nice feeling.

"But it was just a friendly.

"Now we are facing Motherwell in the cup and that will be more exciting."

Inverurie's four-star performance helped banish the frustration they felt at having to face Vale on Saturday.

The East of Scotland League side feared they would not be able to raise a strong enough team on Monday night, when the game was originally scheduled.

With the tie already postponed four times, the Scottish Football Association stepped in and ordered it to be played at the weekend.

Locos' Highland League match against Wick was scrapped as a result.

But the disappointment at that decision was clearly forgotten among the jubilant scenes at full-time.

The home support was even more ecstatic when they celebrated TRAN'S chipped opener.

Tran would have added a second four minutes later had his header not been ruled offside.

But Inverurie doubled their advantage midway-through the first half as Mark Smith's header across goal left MILNE with a tap-in.

The dynamite duo then reversed their roles 10 minutes after the break.

Craig Ross found Milne and he set-up SMITH, who lashed the ball into the roof of Vale's net.

SMITH struck again shortly afterwards, this time after receiving a low Neil McLean cross.

Vale's misery was compounded when their bus broke down in Dundee on the way home.

The squad were stranded for two hours following engine failure.

Rather than wait for repairs to be carried out seven players paid £150 for a taxi home.

«Duas equipas de sub-16 e sub-18 escolheram o espectacular "Centro Desportivo"
Futebol inglês estagia na Ribeira Brava

A O Centro Desportivo da Madeira, localizado na Ribeira Brava, recebe a partir de hoje nas suas instalações duas equipas inglesas de St. Paul's School, dos escalões de sub-16 e sub-18, provenientes do Reino Unido.
O intuito da presença destas formações na Madeira é a realização de um estágio que terá início hoje na excelente infra-estrutura do Centro Desportivo da Madeira e que se prolongará até ao dia 10 do corrente mês.
Nesta passagem pela Madeira estão igualmente garantidos os seguintes jogos de preparação com os "estudantes" ingleses a estrearem-se hoje, pelas 19h00, com os juniores do Ribeira Brava. Amanhã será a vez de defrontar os seniores do mesmo clube às 16h30, voltando a actuar, nesse mesmo dia, às 20h30 com os juniores do Marítimo, finalizando a 8 com os sub-16 dos juvenis do Marítimo.
Quanto aos treinos serão diários no Centro Desportivo da Madeira sempre pelas 10h30. Uma das apostas naturais do "Centro" é promover o Turismo Desportivo e, isso, na opinião da directora-técnica da referida infra-estrutura, Sheila Rodrigues, tem acontecido e com (bons) exemplos e recentes. "É verdade. O ano de 2009 começou da melhor forma para o Centro Desportivo da Madeira, com a visita da equipa do FC Porto e que movimentou imensos adeptos à Ribeira Brava, apesar de ter sido uma sessão à porta fechada. Mesmo assim só a proximidade de vê-los passar tão próximo dos seus ídolos fez as delícias de todos os que durante mais de uma hora esperaram pela chegada da comitiva", disse. E lembrou outras presenças de equipas conceituadas como o Vitória de Guimarães, Sporting de Braga a par de outras não tanto mediáticas como o Estrela da Amadora e Leixões."Penso que revela bem o crescente interesse que as excelentes instalações do Centro Desportivo da Madeira vêm despertando nos principais emblemas nacionais e não só...".»
