Social Sciences - Slang / football web forum on a new pitch
Russian term or phrase: ты прав, а на тролля киевского не ведись.
Again, this is from the same web forum about the FC Metalist new pitch: http://euro2012.ua-football.com/news/4df7498e/page/0#comment...

This is the context:

"2. Установлена система аэрации поля. В частности, появится вакуумная установка, обеспечивающая принудительный дренаж, а также реверсную подачу воздуха в подпочвенный слой...

4. Применена система искусственной прошивки травы Desso Sports Systems (Нидерланды), что дополнительно обеспечит дренирование, аэрацию и нормативную густоту травы. "

------------------

ты прав, а на тролля киевского не ведись."

I didn't know if this meant: "Don't buy into all of that rubbish" - or whether this "Kiev Troll" is a local feature of the culture?
