Wednesday night-Moldovan Super Cup: Sheriff v Zimbru
Sunday: League: Zimbru visit Tiligul Tiraspol
A week on Wednesday: UEFA Cup: Zimbru v Aris

The Moldovan national team overtook Belarus at the bottom of UEFA qualifying group 3 with a 2-1 victory in tiraspol. Goals were scored by Dadu and Covalciuc. Zimbru's Cebotari and Olexic played in the match.

I can't believe that Belarus are playing so badly recently.

I know it's no great marker of how well a team are playing, but when we played them a few years ago they were quite decent!

Anyway, I've been asking aroound and I reckon I can get some Zimbru scarves if anyone's intereted

Really? The best I could find online ere souvenirs of a Zimbru-SPurs match some years ago on eBay, which won't let me register.

How might one get hold of said scarves?

I've always had a soft spot for Belarussian golkeeper Gennady "G.j." Tumilovich, as a result of the Championship Manager game series

One of my mates from Wales away matches is a dealer in footy memorobilia and he has contacts all over - he says he should be able to get some for us

I am certainly interested by this. Maybe you could email me (maltloaf_98 at yahoo.com) to elaborate on how I might be able to attain such a gament? Cheers.
