Jingle Bells Posted May 16, 2020 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
Gambo Posted May 16, 2020 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

The Internet Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Watching the dortmund game, is quite weird. I've watched games played 'behind closed doors' before but there was usually at least a handful of people present for those, this is proper empty Quote
Seymour M Hersh Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) I hadn't realised that Dortmund actually had terracing and not the "safe stand-in" stuff like the mhanks. Edited May 16, 2020 by Seymour M Hersh Quote
Sooperstar Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Anyone else already bored already. Haaland starting where he left off. Quote
Tazio Posted May 16, 2020 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. Quote
kila Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 This is difficult to watch. A sobering reminder of the importance of fans. This might work for finishing the league but a whole campaign like this would be unwatchable. Quote
kila Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 While I trust the player commitment, without fans to energise the players it just feels like a friendly. Quote

underwaterwoodwelder Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Dortmund for me. Im watching them beat Schalke 1 nil at the moment on Bein HD 1 live.... Football is back whoop whoop 🙌 Quote

The Internet Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Dortmund have been good. Obviously doesn't feel as exciting without fans but don't think it's affected the quality of the game too much. Though dortmund are a good watch at the worst of times anyway. Quote
Shaggy2 Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Schalke’s 21 doesn’t want to be there and as for the goalie’s kicking...🤦♂️ Quote
Jeff Posted May 16, 2020 Author Posted May 16, 2020 I choose my teams well eh? Hearts, Torino and Schalke. Quote

Tazio Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 All of those games and I end up watching the one with no goals so far. Fortuna have hit the woodwork 3 tines but can’t get the damn thing in the net. It’s all very familiar feeling. Quote
annushorribilis III Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Started shouting at the laptop as I lost sound for the last 15 minutes . Wife - I thought you said there was no atmosphere cos no crowds ? Me - **** off. Also , what were Dortmund doing at the end (still no audio, bitch !) applauding the ball boys ? 😄 Quote

Cruyff Posted May 16, 2020 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. Quote

Used to follow Hertha a bit till my German pal who's a Werder Bremen fan said they had a very right-wing support. Quite like Bremen but they play in a Hibs top basically so don't like to talk about it. Quote

ToadKiller Dog Posted May 16, 2020 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
The Internet Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 I'm pretty sure we all knew football is better with fans in the stadium but it's not really an option at this point. I like watching football and would rather watch football without fans than not at all. Not sure what folk were expecting Quote

leginten Posted May 17, 2020 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
