KuPS - The Rocky Road To Glory

Surprise Clues

Ok guys, while I'm waiting for the first part of my surprise to be ready, I'm going to give you guys some clues. These clues are number based and are about this story.

Clue No.1: One section holds 15 parts. I will upload one at a time and when they are all up, I will make a list of them.
Clue No.2: The next section holds 5 parts. These will take more time to create but hopefully will be good.
Clue No.3: The third section contains just one part but it is massive, this will take the longest to upload.

The first part of the first section will be up tonight. Unfortunately due to a trip, I will only be able to use my IPhone until 20th August or so which means that the first part of the surprise will be the last for almost two weeks. I thank you guys for your patients and I hope that you will enjoy my next post.

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011: No.15

Hi guys, here is the first part of my surprise: my Top 15 Goals of the Season and I can tell you that we scored some screamers. This goal wasn't absolutely stand-out but where it was made it a goal to remember.



Etchu Tabe vs Tottenham Hotspurs
White Hart Lane,
UEFA Europa League Group I Fixture No.3,
Tottenham Hotspurs vs Kuopion Palloseura.

Tabe vs Spurs

We won a free-kick out wide on the right just over 84 minutes in. Jonas Emet curled the ball in to the back post are where Etchu Tabe beat Scott Parker to the ball in the air an powered home a tremendous header past the flailing Heurelho Gomes.


Sorry if it feels a little rough, this is only my first Youtube video. Any suggestions would be largely appreciated.

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011: No.14

Hi guys, here is number fourteen on the Goal of the Season countdown. Like the previous, it was nowhere near as skilfull as the goals on the top of the list (I've been an avid FM player for years and the Top 5 are the best I've ever seen) but this goal has meaning as it secured qualification to the UEFA Europa League group stages. Enjoy!

From a throw-in on the left, Paul Obiefule exchanges passes with Tero Taipale before passing to Ilja Venalainen. Venalainen lays the ball off for Jonas Emet who drives it in to the back of the net to secure qualification. The whole move was one-touch football.

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011: No.13

Hi guys, after finally regaining my laptop from my girlfriend, I finally bring to you goal number 13 in the countdown for the goal of the season. A game which would decide the winner of the Premier League, KuPS managed to come back from two goals down to claim a 2-2 draw and secure the title, aswell as a domestic treble.

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011: No.12

In a game where KuPS won 6-1, Aleksi Paananen proved his ability and why he would become a starting player for the club. His first ever senior goal was a goal to remember and one that he will treasure for the rest of his life.

Aleksi Paananen beats two players before driving home his first ever senior goal. Similar to Steven Gerrard's first senior goal.

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011 No.11

Our first Vali-Suomi derby of the season was very exciting and Antti Hynynen's exquisite goal was the pick of the bunch in a six-goal game.

Antti Hynynen scored a lovely goal here. He plays a delicate lob over the head of the JJK 'keeper and the ball dips in to the far corner.

You took two weeks to post three goals!
Can't wait to see what Goal #1 was like!

Goal #1 is a beauty

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011 No.10

In a comfortable league win, our talisman striker, Ilja Venalainen, scored the pick of the goals in a two-nil win.



Ilja Venalainen vs RoPS
Magnum Areena,
Finnish Premier League,
Kuopion Palloseura vs Rovaniemin Palloseura

Venalainen vs RoPS

RoPS clear as far as Pyry Karkainen who passes up to Ilja Venalainen. The "Flying Fin" turns and fires for the top corner in Rooney-style fashion. A true legend of KuPSi.

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011 No.9

A trip away to IFK Mariehamn is always difficult and an Antti Hynynen inspired win was a great result to take. His second goal (on ninety-two minutes). Sealed the deal in a three-one win for the KuPSi.



Antti Hynynen vs IFK Mariehamn
Wiklof Holding Arena,
Finnish Premier League,
IFK Mariehamn vs Kuopion Palloseura.

Hynynen vs IFK Mariehamn

John Wicks made two brilliant saves to deny Paananen and Venalainen respectively but couldn't deny Hynynen's brilliant finesse shot which curled in to the far corner. This goal reminded many Fernando Torres' finishing when he played in red.

Okay guys, five goals is enough for one day. I will post goals 8-6 tomorrow and then the top 5 the next day.
All comments are appreciated.
Stay tuned folks.

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011 No.8

In a game which we were the underdogs in, our team showed great character to claim a two-nil win with Ilja Venalainen at the centre of it all. The experienced striker picked up a knock early on but played on to put KuPS in to the lead and then to double their lead with a brilliant goal.

KuPS Goal of the Season 2011 No.5

In a Finnish Cup semi-final which should have been more comfortable, KuPS ran out two-one winners. (The odds on KuPS winning were 1-33) Jonas Emet scored a top-notch goal to win the match for KuPS.
