    2015 Tippeligaen starts tomorrow/today! With Henderson at Rosenborg, some new Norwegian posters, and a general feeling of affinity toward Strømsgodset on this forum I'm curious to see if we can sustain a thread. The league starts at 1430 GMT tomorrow with Mjøndalen (the tiny club who relegated Bergen's Brann) but the best matchup comes at 1900 GMT with Vålerenga hosting Strømsgodset. Anybody a bit curious about the upcoming campaign?

    I am :50: Henderson is not in the squad for today's Rosenborg game - I'm torn between watching my team Bodø/Glimt play on tv or going to see the Vålerenga game live. Molde are favourites for the title with Rosenborg the big challenger, but there are a few outsiders as well - Odd, Strømsgodset and Vålerenga could all surprise.

    I'll be keeping a close eye for any emerging talent. Cause chances are, if a good young player emerges, we'll be one of the teams linked.

    Google translate should help you get the gist of the article These are all in their teens, so maybe a little too young still

    Do they show the games on any sports channels here? Or is there anywhere online good for watching them?

    Don't think anyone shows Norwegian TV outside Norway but there should be streams available here:

    http://www.sportstream.tv/

    http://www.gofeed2all.eu/type/football.html

    I'm guessing the streams are all with Norwegian commentary

    I've never had a problem streaming Norwegian matches (even 1. division matches) from the internet, which is good since my TV has been dead for about a month now.

    Celtic should get Helland from Rosenborg. Would tear the SPL apart.

    Played 24 mins and he has scored 2 from his right wing position.

    Søderlund with another. I'm not watching that match but it seems as if Rosenborg mean business this year.

    Yeah. They've been collectivly depressed for years. But ever since Kåre Ingebrigtsen took over, they've started to shine. This is his first whole season and with Jensen, Reginiussen and Helland playing, they could take on mo£d€

    Decided to watch the first half of that - they've been really impressive but their opponents have also been really poor. They have a good midfield too, Henderson will get game time but he'll have to work for it. They have no depth in the squad so that might be their biggest problem this year

    To be fair there aren't too many sides this year who have any depth either. Brown isn't looking so great yet for Vålerenga. They're up right now but due to a great free kick and a dubious penalty. They'll have trouble replacing Kjartansson's goals I fear.

    I do not fear. I hope.

    The pen was indeed shady. He got tackled but didn't fall. Then he took another step before he realized: "wait a minute.. if i fall, i'll get a pen". And then he threw himself. Like a bag of dicks.

    And they lead. Ajer started the move with a good pass near midfield but it was a great team move.

    Yeah. He's immense. Already been on trial at AS Roma. Don't know if they are in for him, but he wants to finish some school before changing club anyways.

    I hope Valerenga is playing a good season. I like them since John Carew played there.
