    Default I know it's not a basketball question but...

    I wonder if any of the Lithuanian guys know who Vladamir Romanov is?
    He Is the owner of my football team Hearts F.C from Edinburgh, Scotland.
    Do any of you know anything about his background as in Edinburgh he is known as 'Mad Vlad' for his ruthless way of running the team. There is belief that he picks the team every week which is unheard of in my country.


    On another subject i read today that as you know the influx of Eastern Europeans in Scotland has grown dramatically due to the E.U membership.
    Something like 100.000 people arrived, with 80% Pols, 10% Slovaks and 10% Lithuanians. If any of you know anybody heading over to Scotland to work and play basketball, my old team are looking for players.

    Yeah, of course people are aware of him.
    He is bigest shareholder of ukio bankas, though people dont label him as "mad vlad",but maybe his employees does.
    There was held an internet conference and he answered questions.
    His favourite players are Zidane and Schevchenko, during his childhood he played football with basketball ball, because he couldnt afford football ball.
    Started business at a age of 16.

    If I remember well, they lost it about 21-3
    In that game there were given about 250 penalty minutes, though I don't remember overall, or for each team

    on topic, I also would like to know more about him

    that's a good peace of PR!
    unfortunatelly, in reality the show Romanov took part in was cheap and tastless and, as many agree, he was one of the worst dancers trhoughout it. the fact he "won" just goes to show what a shallow and disturbed person he is (and what a poor TV station is the one who staged this contest), imho..
    stop russia
