LBC showed about 10 from the fans standing beside eachothers making the delta sign.
They even put it back after the end of the first quarter in slow motion.

CV season 07-08

president resign, don't know if they accepted his resignsation, sponsors lebanese-canadian bank will withdraw their sponor and also securitee assurance which the sum is almost 450000 k.

the foreigners are bad, both forward, jones and jarred can't play under the basket so we are playing without a center , ghassan ktir khabbasa playing karl as point guard and sometimes hassan and karl the same time...mario abboud he's just shouting at him. ray dagher just played 18 minutes the whole season.. fans doing the jay-z illuminati sign, you say its delta .......

disgusting, they should lose to bluestars because they can give a more match to riyadi, we should just give up the season.....next season it's going to get worse, ghassan will leave and take with him several players and him leaving is not the problem but the players he will take, besides karl who is bad i don't mind him leaving... the school is also not helping they just sponsor the track and field and this sport is sucks .... the court is not getting used to get money, and some other problems.... this won't do any good,.,,,,ghassan just lied and lied and at the end after 3 seasons we still at the same place when he came between 3-4 place.

How I love that. At one point I was driven by the urge of supporting Lebanese Basketball teams by going to matches in the Arab and Asian cup. I got to like Elie Mchantaf, he used to be a smart player, although cocky, but that didn't matter much as I wasn't looking for a personal relationship.

The Delta was not as popular as a hand sign back then, if I remember correctly. But the Sagesse fans used to amaze me by their creativity. Saint Charbel t-shirts were very popular and the chants during the game were those of war. Till now, I admire the metaphor of the Basketball game being a war to win the match. I hope I didn't misunderstand the figure of speech.

There was however one slogan that I wasn't able to grasp. It seems Sagesse fans used to have a t-shirt that says that their bells are going to keep jingling forever. I am not sure why would someone want to do that taking into consideration the degree of noise pollution that would generate. It's really strange why Lebanese take extremes, why not settle for two jingles, three in particular circumstances, but forever?! Why!?

Well, these are the consequences of buying a whole team 4 years ago.
Yesterday, Champville was playing against ex-Champville.

[e_khoury]

guys it was clear that champville game yesterday was played not for the win but to prepare for the playoffs.I dont want to make excuses for last night game but GS and Champville just cant reveal everything they've got and prepare 3 days before the beginnig of the playoffs!!!
i was disgusted by LBC, they need to handle things more professionally,bc last night behaviour encourages to confuse politics and sports.Ba3den please correct me if i am wrong but did i see the sagesse fans with the riyadi fans???or the sunnites and the riyadi supporters are turning into LF??
Can somebody elaborate more about GS leaving Champville and taking players with him??or it is just rumors based on nothing?
finally dont give up on your team bc he needs your support, and please do not spread desapointment and desperation.Playoffs are coming and we need the support of each and everyone of you

[e_khoury]

playoffs games begins tomorrow:
riyadi-anibal will be played at 7:00 pm but will be broadcasted at 11:00 or 11:30 pm on LBC
best wishes for anibal

e_khoury, our playoff begin on 21st so i don't think hiding anything has to do with it, beside why is ghaleb posting up on Ace? there's a huge missmatch.. btw ghaleb is not playing any good he keeps doing bad fouls and shooting airballs. if we must do anything against bluestars we shoud get back corey lewis he's one of the best centers that came to our league, and replace jarred by devon ford our duo from last season.

still though this is only good enough to beat bluestars,, no way to beat riyadi.

i dont remember when was the last time ghaleb played well he have an avg of 7 or 8 points per game he shoots around 6or7 shots from the 3 point line and scores 1,this should be fixed.But on the other hand ghaleb is a good player on defense thats why he was defending on Ace,if you remenber the second quarter mario abboud defended on ace and it was catastrophic and GS shouted on him in the time-out.
i agrre with you that we need a center ,a big guy that plays under the basket make blockshots and rebounds.but i desagree with you on jarred,can i remind you that jarred is the scorer of the league?and he can make a huge duo with a big guy on the D.
dont you forget that we are a rookie team and that was their first final everrrr.
look at the arsenal team,how many final and game and season they lost till they reached the high level they showed this season??
about riyadi no one will be able to beat him this season,so dont say that champville sucks just bc they lost to riyadi.sagesse lost their two last game against riyadi with over than 20 points,mutahed lost to riyadi with a huge difference against riyadi.
we need to forget our game against riyadi and just focus on our next games that are very important and maybe we will have a second chance against riyadi,and we prooved that if we get a second chance we are up to the task:we lost to riyadi 2 years ago by 50 points in the first game of the semi-finals and two days we won over them and we prooved that at critical time we are to the task.
