Last weekend the Szolnok Olaj lost to Paks (Poksh), thus ending their season with a first round playoff defeat.Last week I attended games 2 and 4 of the best of 5 series between the two teams. These were my 2nd and 3rd Olaj games since coming to Szolnok. (Olaj means oil...the team is partially owned by MOL, the Hungarian gas and oil company. Olaj is pronounced "OH-lie").
An American friend, Emily, described the Olaj games well in an earlier post on her blog, and again in this posting.
Finally, Emily wrote about the most recent games, and included translation of some of the many chants the fans perform. (Warning, most are sexually vulgar! Don't read if you are easily offended!)

(Sometimes, no, oftentimes, the fans get a bit angry. Here we see some Szolnok fans - below - having words with the Paks fans - sitting behind the protective - yes protective - netting)
