19 January ~ This badge celebrates the killjoy, throughout the ages. MFK Košice's reputation as a hard-tackling team of spoilers with a well-organised defence is reflected in their club crest. The larger image shows a detail from the Elysian Fields, the ancient world's eternal paradise, wherein the heroic and the righteous feast on honey-sweet fruit and disport themselves among blazing flowers by the sacred stream Oceanus. A flawless, timeless rapture, you might think.
Except that there's always one person, even in the Elysian Fields, who has to get up early in the morning and all the heavy-footed disporting and slurping of honey-sweet fruit into the early hours has woken him up and it’s hard getting back to sleep when you can't fantasise about weird stuff because your mind is so frickin righteous.
