Jyrki Filppu from Finland and Silvo Borosak from Slovenia invited thirty old colleagues to celebrate their 50th birthday!
This idea was set up during the Observer Seminar in Amman last year. But where to hold this? Vienna was the best central place and reachable for most people. Twenty-five people from all over Europe accepted this invitation.
It was great to see so many old referees, who are working now as observers at UEFA or at their own National Association.
Tall stories where brought up table and Jyrki & Silvo made a quiz, which was won by Toine van Eekelen > former Dutch Referee.
In the evening at the dinner party the discussion was, as usual, “Futsal”. Where are we going and how can we improve?
On Sunday some people went home early in the morning and some visited Vienna. Highlight was ofcourse Castle Schönbrunn.
After checking all the birthdays everybody agreed to meet again in 2013 in Cyprus, whose birthday is not important 😉
