Veikkausliiga round 8 preview
The Finnish league has made it all the way to the 8th round, which makes us here at the NFN Ivory Tower quite ready and willing to single out some teams for harsh criticism. We could also carve out the positives out of some teams’ performances, but who wants to read good news anyway?

Monday, May 3, 2010
We owe you a sincere apology for our erratic previewing of the weekend’s Veikkausliiga round. Our dear friend Egan Richardson is writhing in the misery that confronted his dear hometown of Sheffield, and I have spent my time trying to understand the annual Finnish holiday called Vappu (on May 1st and, in its most liquefied [...]

Tuesday, April 20, 2010
Janne Oivio continues his skewed coverage of Veikkausliiga following the preview package published last week. It’s ridiculously early to do a power ranking, but I don’t care. Having just completed NFN’s Massive Veikkausliiga Preview I was so delighted with myself that I decided to begin a running feature which will run hopefully every other week.

Thursday, April 15, 2010
Since there is no hope for compromise amongst NFN Finnish’s “experts” and Veikkaaja decided not to listen to my infinite wisdom, I’ve decided to use this space to tell everyone how the upcoming Veikkausliiga season will play out. So listen up.

Thursday, April 15, 2010
In the run-up to my Massive Season Preview 2010 (to be published very, very soon), I thought I’d start off with the conventional random predictions and pre-emptive awards for the upcoming season.

Saturday, March 13, 2010
Alexei Eremenko Jr has signed for FF Jaro on loan from his fantastically named Ukrainian club, Metalist Kharkiv. The 26 year old, who can play as an attacking midfielder or forward but has most often been seen sitting on the bench in recent years, will spend the whole season at the Jakobstad club according to [...]

Wednesday, February 24, 2010
The NFN transfer news column returns afresh with a new title and ever improved content. Well that’s at least what evil marketing men and women want you to believe with these kinds of blatant attempts at re-branding. In truth, the Round-up will be exactly as inefficient, lazy and crass as the Weekly was in providing [...]

Thursday, November 19, 2009
In the second part of our look at some of the photos from 2009 in Finland, we focus on the fans. Click photos to enlarge. One of the themes of Tampere football has been the struggle by supporters to get decent facilities in which to play and watch the game. The Veikkausliiga season was slated [...]

Wednesday, November 18, 2009
This is the first in a series of posts that will aim to tell something about Finland’s 2009 season using photgraphs. The pictures should form a gallery, when you click on one of them, but the text is not visible in those galleries. Thanks to Tero Wester, Petteri Lehtonen and FutisForum2 for all their help [...]
Continue reading...Transfer Weekly (week 46): FF Jaro, TamU and MyPa taking the spotlight as the transfer merry-go-round sets in motion
Thursday, November 12, 2009
The Veikkausliiga season ended a few weeks ago but that is no reason for anyone to think there is no footballing life in the darkness of the cold Finnish winter. So rather than starting to watch ice-hockey, keep up to date with the goings-on in Finnish football with NFN’s Transfer Weekly. We’ll provide you with [...]

Sunday, September 20, 2009
With Autumn drawing in, Veikkausliiga is sorting itself into distinct sections going into the closing stages of the season. The top two are matching each other blow for blow in the fight for the championship, the next group of five are dropping points and beating each other as nobody really cements their hold on third [...]

Monday, September 14, 2009
So after an appropriate period of reflection on WEURO2009, which was excellent fun, and Finland’s men’s national team games, which certainly weren’t, it’s back to the domestic season for NFN’s Finland station. We never really stopped – FC Hämeenlinna’s 4-2 defeat at home to Viikingit was thoroughly enjoyable, thanks largely to Viikingit’s large and loud [...]

Friday, August 21, 2009
Friday The weekend kicks off tonight, with Alexei Eremenko senior’s first game in charge of FF Jaro. The former JBK coach takes the reigns from Mika Laurikainen, who seemed bewildered that he got the sack after the team’s form collapsed following the announcement of his departure at season’s end. Jaro felt they might as well [...]

Thursday, August 6, 2009
2pm: I’m going to endeavour to write a live blog on the game today. Last time we did this for a Euro game the site had some technical problems, and that is quite likely to happen again – if it does, we will switch to NFN’s Twitter page. I’ll endeavour to answer comments as the [...]

Sunday, July 26, 2009
Unlike we predicted, Inter took a 1-0 away win at Jaro thanks to a late goal from Joni Kauko. Accidents happen when you combine Egan, a laptop and an internet connection, but we are stupid enough to keep on previewing even if we are not necessarily on the winning side any more. All games start [...]
