“Was he there?”.
The question stands next to Ole Didrik Blomberg and the character 2 on the player exchange at Bergens Tidende.
He is one of several Brann players who will have their hat fitted after Brann pulled out of the cup away from home against Levanger.
Blomberg also gets the second worst grade from Bergensavisen, with the comment “this was poor stuff”.
But he is not alone.
BT gives 2s to Niklas Castro and Emil Kornvig in addition to Blomberg. Kornvig’s performance is called “a sad match”. Sivert Heltne Nilsen gets the grade three and is called “heavy as a Trønder tractor”.
BA gives four players the grade 2. Bård Finne is among them.
“This should have been an excellent opportunity to find the scoring form again, but there were 90 more goalless minutes. Was very close both one and two scores in the opening minutes, but then he disappeared like dew for the sunAn expression meaning to disappear quickly or disappear, just as dew disappears when the sun shines on it. Now it’s critical!”the newspaper writes about Finne’s performance.
Both Brann and Rosenbørg quit the cup on Wednesday. On Saturday, the two teams meet in Bergen for a series match.
– You feel tremendous shame and frustration when you fail in the 3rd round of the cup against a team in the division below, Eirik Horneland told BT after the match.
