A little is due, perhaps, for them recognising their mistake – whatever their motivation, and it would admittedly be very naive to assume their motivation was altruistic and not just a PR consideration – but not too much. You don’t praise a burglar for putting your TV back. But it’s a welcome step nonetheless for a club who sell themselves on being a community institution, and on Bill Shankly’s socialism.
Whilst they remain 7th heading into this Sunday morning's encounter against Eibar, Pepe Bordalas' men are just two points shy of the Champions League spots and could easily be occupying a top four position over the Christmas period with winnable fixtures against Valladolid and Villarreal following this Matchday 16 contest at Ipurua.

He was still over there.
Naftan will host Smorgon for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this league. However, this is a very unpredictable league. Naftan is one of the main outsiders in this campaign. They are currently bottom of the table. Of course, the hosts have the motivation to change their positions. However, they are not convincing team. On the other hand Smorgon have great results in this season. Smorgon is one of the best teams in this campaign. The visitors are in solid shape. They have two consecutive victories. I expect, this will be tense match. Also, I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
