Jingle Bells Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 42 minutes ago, Locky said: Quite right. Would've been horrible to experience that. I remember being genuinely astounded when I found out they have never won a league title or German cup. They were champions in 1930 and 1931 of Germany, but it was a very different format and structure. There's still hope yet Locky. The last I heard they were having a new purpose built football stadium or planning to. Thankfully we live in better times now, I think just about. If anything ,1860 have the distinquishment of having even worse owners than us. over the years. They are the Munich city team whilst Bayern tend to be viewed as the Bavarian " national side" They have a huge latent support, if they could ever get their act together, a bit like Hearts. I like my trips to Munich, hence the interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hopefully it is a good watch, but after lasting 5mins watching 'behind closed doors' games in CL/EL watching football in an empty stadium on tv is dire. Right now, with being starved of football of any kind i'll give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 It might be closed doors but no shortage of good hefty challenges in the Fortuna game. The lack of sound from the crowd makes you realise how firmly players hit the ball when passing. Or at least compared to Scottish ones.

Tazio Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 All of those games and I end up watching the one with no goals so far.

Cruyff Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Schalke are absolutely horseshite, they got ripped to feckin shreds and gave up after about an hour in. Only Sane at Centerhalf and McKimmie in Midfield got pass marks for Schalke. Dortmund were different gravy, Brandt and Guerreiro were outstanding, big laddie up front Haaland too.

ToadKiller Dog Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 What today's games shows to me anyway , is that football needs supporters in the stadium or it just looks like a training exercise. Schalke were poor (the german side I follow because of friends connection ) they try to play a similar game style that Stendel wants us to play and like us dont have the players . The Redbull side play that style also but usually much better at it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hamburg concede an equaliser with the last kick of the ball to draw 2-2 at Fürth. It’s almost as if they didn’t want to go back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
