Russian to English translations [PRO] Social Sciences - Slang / football web forum on a new pitch | | Russian term or phrase: А в проморолики веры немного-реклама все же. | This is a really tricky translation which I am doing of a web forum about the laying of a new pitch at FC Metalist (Ukraine) in preparation for the Euro 2012 tournament.
The link to the forum is here: http://euro2012.ua-football.com/news/4df7498e
The people on this forum are complaining that they do not feel that the pitch is ready or that it is growing properly. However, there are a few phrases which are quite tricky and need a bit of input.
This is the context of the phrase:
"видно не зря ирландец синячит- может что-то знает? А в проморолики веры немного-реклама все же. Что касается еврея Минхельсона, то насколько я пойму, под газоном установлен продув, как у пылесоса, или я не прав?"
The ирландец refers to the chief groundsman (an Irishman) who is in charge of laying the new pitch. And the "еврея Минхельсона" refers to a professor who has given some input on the pitch. |
