Umeå FC has left the super league after a 1-2 loss against Sandviken.
Then there was not only resignation, but also irritation, in the Umeå camp.
- It’s been a while as you don’t get any goddamn help from the horrible, goddamn piss judges.Every damn round,the same damn show,says a furious Stefan Lindmark to HBO Max.
Or yes, it wasn’t just Saturday’s loss that meant that Umeå FC is playing in division 1 rather than the super league next season. After all, the UFC has been deeply mired in the absolute bottom battle all season.
Now, however, it is mathematically clear that Umeå will be relegated.
Though, it must be said that for a while it looked as if they would be able to grab a last straw at home against Sandviken.
