Hello!

I´m a Mallorca fan!
I´m glad that i´ve finally found an english speaking forum to talk about RCD Mallorca, because I´m from Germany and I really can´t speak the spanish language. And I hope that Valdes and I are not the only ones who support RCD.

@ Valdes: Do you know any other english speaking fan-forum about Mallorca, I´ve looked through the internet but didn´t find anything.

And now that Mallorca has finally accomplished to stay in the primera I hope we can make this thread a bit longer

cheers, Tobi aka audiollama

so, just for the beauty of the old stadium I want to post a picture of the beautiful entrance scenery I´ve made during my last visit on the island. I hope I can go to a match next season, in February they played away when I was there in Mallorca.

and here one picture from the inside:

sorry if this post should be in the picture area. I´ve seen it just after I made this post

Mallorca will surprise a lot of people next season, mark my words

yeah, I hope so. Would be nice not to see them struggling against relegation again. I´ll try to go a home match next season for the first time. Thanks to AirBerlin for the cheap tickets

And by the way, Hector Cuper really must be a good coach. During the season I resigned myself to see Mallorca playing in the Segunda next season. But those incredible last weeks were definitely impressing.

I see that all writers here in this thread are not from mallorca, or am I wrong? Are there Mallorca supporters from the island here,too?

Do they fly to Palma now as well? I though up to now they only served the big ones on the peninsula, yet not the island.
As you say home match. Have you seen them live playin away already?

They fly to Palma from Nürnberg. That´s just what I know. Is this the only German town?

I´ve seen them play a friendly match against my FCN. It must have been in 1996 or ´97. It was on the ground of SC Feucht, 5 minutes from me with the car.

I´ve been a few times on the island, and in February a few days in Palma. But I´ve nver managed to go to a match, as there always was summer break or they had an away match.

 

[audiollama]

well, not to every city but it´s quite a lot, yes.

 

[audiollama]

Sure, but they should start changing their policy and they should think in big words. Players like Luque, Etoo, Ibagaza, Engonga, Leo Franco, Dani, Riera, Novo,... I mean ANYONE who did something right in Mallorca, was sold. You can't make big things selling everything.

That´s just what I think, too. It´s no wonder that there had to come a season like the one just finished. Even though they have a quality coach with Cuper it´s hard for Mallorca to reach the UEFA Cup next season. I would be happy when there´s no fight against relegation and UI-Cup would be very good.

It´s just the same with the FC Nürnberg. Now that our team stays a second season in the Bundesliga a lot of people ( in the official forum) think that the team has to finish on a UEFA Cup or UI Cup place. Both teams have to make one step after the another...

But let´s see what the season brings. Perhaps Cuper surprises us all with a strong team..

 

[audiollama]

Cuper is building something there, believe me ... he's genius :stuckup:

yeah, I hope so, too.

by the way, cool signature, bier ... :thumbsup:

 

[audiollama]

the new fixture list for the 2005/06 season ist out. mallorca is starting at home against deportivo la coruna. i think it´s not the badest start. could be better, but at home they should win against la coruna.


i´m looking forward to the winter. on the 18th of december they play at home against atletico madrid. maybe i attend to this game.

"Mallorca loan Real's Borja
Reuters

Real Madrid have loaned Borja Fernandez to Real Mallorca for a season and extended the contracts of former youth team players Alvaro Arbeloa and Ruben de la Red.

Borja, a versatile midfielder, will not be permitted to play against his former club during his stint with the islanders.

In the past, Real players on loan have frequently produced match-winning performances against them and the club have consequently decided to put a restrictive clause in deals they strike with other clubs.

Borja, 24, made eight league appearances for Real last season but the recent signing of Uruguayan midfielder Pablo Garcia have extinguished his chances of first team football at the club.

Mallorca, who are coached by Hector Cuper, looked destined for the drop for much of last season, but rallied to finish two points above the relegation zone.

Right back Arbeloa and midfielder De la Red, who were both under contract until 2007, have extended their deals with Real until 2009.

The two players will join fellow former youth team players Juanfran, Roberto Soldado and Jose Manuel Jurado on Real's tour of the United States, China, Japan and Thailand which begins on Thursday."



I´ve never heard about that player. Is he good?

 

[audiollama]

another signing ...

"RCD Mallorca have made Argentinian right-back Francisco Maciel their fourth summer acquisition. The 27-year-old, who has spent the last three campaigns with Real Murcia CF, has agreed a one-year deal with the option of a further year. Maciel appeared 34 times in the Segunda División for Murcia in 2004/05." www.uefa.com

Wow, quite oprimistic, mate ... but Mallorca stand a chance indeed. BTW: Friends and me gonna see Mallorca in pre-season facing Sparta Praha, somewhere near Munich on tuesday, the 25th. Really looking forward to it ... maybe we can take some photos.

Mallorca-Prague near Munich? Really? The 25th is a monday in july... is it on monday or tuesday? I don´t find anything about that match when I search for it with google. Do you know where that match takes place? Maybe I go there, too. Could be a nice game...


edit:ahh, now I´ve got it. on the official website is a list of the pre-season matches. but I don´t see a match against Prague. But there are some interesting games against Blackburn Rovers, SpVgg Unterhaching and Wacker Burghausen. The Blackburn match is in Austria... a bit too far for me. But the Unterhaching match is good, I think that will be my game

 

[audiollama]

Mallorca will surprise a lot of people next season, mark my words

and btw, these are your words. so why not start the season with a victory...

 

[audiollama]

hm, I think Kirchdorf is a bit too far away. I´ll attend the match against Unterhaching instead...

The Blackburn match starts at 19.00 o´clock .

The arrival of the Italian defender spells the end of Ramis' progress at Son Moix as Cúper explained that he has been told to look for a new club despite making 22 appearances for Mallorca last term.

"He needs to play regularly and to improve some aspects of his game," Cuper explained, hinting that a loan deal maybe the solution for Ramis.

"There are elements that he can improve on by playing games every week for another team."

A few weeks ago the newspapers here in Nuernberg wrote that Ramis is on the list of our coach Wolf. Rumours said that he was on Mallorca to watch a few players, especially Ramis. Everyone thought that Mallorca would never let him go. Now the FCN doesn´t need another defender....

Burghausen - Mallorca 0-3

On sunday Mallorca played against Wacker Burghausen and they celebrated a clear 3-0 victory. Campano made the half-time lead, and in the second half Arango scored two goals to make the final result. Real was the better team, altough the result was a bit too high, quoting Burghausens coach Schupp.

the team:

Moyà (Prats), Navarro (Tuni), Ballesteros (Jose), Potenza, Maciel (Cortés), Borja (Farinós), Pereyra (Perera), Campano (Rafita), Peralta (Arango), Okubo (Luis García), Víctor (Delibasic)

 

[audiollama]

so, anyone been to a pre-season friendly? what about you, Bier? I didn´t manage to go to the Unterhaching game.

 

[audiollama]

A bit old that news, but I just heard about it. Mallorca seems to show interest in signing Ajax striker Charisteas. Anyone heard something more concrete than that news item from the 23-07-2005?

http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?id=19313

 

[audiollama]

I didn't hear anything. I know that they've been talking with some strikers like Dani (ex-Madrid, Zaragoza, Mallorca, Barça and Espanyol) and Julio Cruz (Inter)

Hm, maybe it was just a rumour. Charisteas would be good, but Dani and Cruz, too Let´s see who´s going to play for Mallorca.

 

[audiollama]

I haven´t heard about that rumour. What do you think about that player? Do you hope he stays at Rosenborg?

 

[audiollama]

Hm, Cuper has to know why he wants to sign him. Perhaps he´s better in a more warmer climate
