luckydug Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 This match reminded me so much like our 4-0 thumping of the unbeatables a couple of years back. Really good game today and Hoffenheim missed chances to make it even more convincing. 6000 fans in attendance too. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick James Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Mainz sack their coach today following a poor start to the campaign. 2 games in and 2 casualties. News outlets today reporting that Ralf Rangnick - the fans favourite to take over from Wagner - is very unlikely to take over. He wants a bit of freedom and money to revamp the squad, which the board aren't prepared to give. So, it looks like it's going to be another underwhelming yes man who will be sacked in 6-12 months.

HMFC01 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Dortmund always seem to give them a good match. I'll say a draw 3-3. I noticed today that Bayern are interested in Brighton right back tariq lamptey. Ex Chelsea, was a great deal, 3 Mill I think.

Rick James Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Cracking end to the Bayern game this afternoon. 4-3 win, Hertha fought back from 2-0 down to level, only to go 3-2 with minutes left. Then they equalised again before losing it at the death. Lewandowski scoring all 4 for Bayern. Much better than the snoozefest that was Wolfsburg 0-0 Augsburg earlier. Results in full this weekend: Union 4-0 Mainz Dortmund 3-0 Freiburg Stuttgart 1-1 Leverkusen Koln 1-3 Gladbach Frankfurt 2-1 Hoffenheim Werder 1-0 Arminia Leipzig 4-0 Schalke Wolfsburg 0-0 Augsburg Bayern 4-3 Hertha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick James Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Exciting weekend in the Bundesliga so far. Borussia Dortmund taking a 5-1 pumping at home to Stuttgart. A result which has saw Lucien Favre finally get his p45. Pochettino seems to be the one many want, but who knows if he'd go to Germany. Julian Nagelsmann also linked, but can't see him leaving Leipzig at this moment in time. Jesse Marsch is the man who I think will get it. Has done well with RB Salzburg, particularly in Europe, and has worked with Haaland too. As for Schalke, it's now 27 matches without a win. 2-1 up at 10-man Augsburg in injury time, and chucked it again. Game took forever to play out after a nasty head injury to Mark Uth in the first half. Still the rot goes on. Wolfsburg still unbeaten, as are Leverkusen who kick off against Hoffenheim shortly. A win will put Bayer top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A further 7 minutes of injury time did my blood pressure no good at all and I was beginning to think that the game was never going to end. Not winning after what ended up being 47 minutes against 10 men? Sigh! Ach weel, SC Freiburg at the Veltins next week and a win is long overdue. 2-1, fingers crossed.

Yeah it was as big a kick in the balls as I've ever felt watching Schalke tbh. Freiburg at home on Wednesday then Bielefeld on Saturday at home too. 2 massive, massive games. Both winnable too.

They're genuinely just not a good side. Then again, we aren't either really tbh. Last night just looked back to the way it was before Augsburg. Barely look fired up at all. Do the Ultras need to swing by for the team talk every week? A first win on Saturday, and a win for the Gorgie on Sunday, and it'll be a Merry Christmas in the Locky household. 🍺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick James Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Manuel Baum gone today after only 79 days in charge. Zero wins in his time in charge, but the big question remains, why even bring him in? Was never suited for the Schalke job in these circumstances. Everyone saw that except for the board who gave him a 2 year deal, which I assume we now have to honour. This just a day after it was revealed that David Wagner's €200,000 salary is still on the wage bill for another 2 years. Huub Stevens back in temporary charge again. What a shit show.

HMFC01 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55656798 Kiel vs Bayern Munich in the German Cup. Highlights on the page link. 😀 "Bayern Munich were knocked out of the German Cup by lower-league opposition for the first time since 2004 as they were stunned by second-tier Holstein Kiel in a penalty shootout. The holders were seconds away from victory until Hauke Wahl scored via his shoulder, deep in stoppage time. Bayern led the second-round tie twice, through Serge Gnabry's opener and Leroy Sane's brilliant free-kick. Fin Bartels' drilled shot had levelled for Kiel in the first half. The first 10 penalties in the shootout were scored, but Kiel goalkeeper Ioannis Gelios denied Marc Rota, and veteran Bartels scored the winning kick. This is the first time in 12 years that Bayern have failed to reach the semi-finals. Their last defeat by a lower-league team was in 2003-04 when they lost 2-1 to second division side Alemannia Aachen in the quarter-finals. Kiel, the 1912 German champions, have never played in the Bundesliga in its current format, and are third in the second tier. Bayern, whose dreams of retaining their treble are over, lost 2-1 to Borussia Monchengladbach in the league at the weekend but still top the Bundesliga".
