    su pergale zaliai balti , kol kas viskas kaip ir turejo buti, tik man vienas klausimas vis pakyla ir pakyla kam registruoti vasturija kurio tikrai neisleis finalo serijoje nes yra lukosiunas, o marek o neregistruoti , tai yra labai kvaila , ir tai tikrai ne mano vieno nuomone, galetu jau koks heisas perduoti treneriui sirgaliu nuomone. Jeigu vadovybe nesugeba.

    visus su užtikrinta pergale. Tik norėčiau sulaukti tų laikų, kai vėl galėtume nueiti ir palaikyti Žalgirį gyvai be jokių avies pasų. Vakar rungtynes stebėjo 1000 sirgalių, nors pagal moteriausybės nutarimus tipo gali 2000.
