The Bulgarian Doubles Football Group (Bulgarian: Дублираща футболна група) was a Bulgarian football reserve team league. It existed for just two seasons - 2008–09 and 2009–10.
The 16 clubs that used to form the Doubles Groups were the 16 reserve teams of the clubs currently playing in the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group (A PFG). They played their matches each Monday following the official fixtures of A PFG but with a reverse home team (if Club A entertains Club B in their A PFG match, Club B entertains Club A in their Doubles Groups match).
Famous quotes containing the words bulgarian, doubles, football and/or group:
“In the end we beat them with Levi 501 jeans. Seventy-two years of Communist indoctrination and propaganda was drowned out by a three-ounce Sony Walkman. A huge totalitarian system ... has been brought to its knees because nobody wants to wear Bulgarian shoes.... Now they’re lunch, and we’re number one on the planet.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.”
—Diana Crane (b. 1933)
