  1. Huge game in the 2. Bundesliga  tonight as leaders Arminia Bielefeld travel to 3rd place Stuttgart. A win for Arminia will put them 9 points clear at the top and one hand on the trophy, while a win for Stuttgart will send them into 2nd place, 3 points clear of absolute shitebags Hamburg.

    For the purposes of keeping Hamburg in the second tier for as long as possible - mon the Stuttgart.

  2. Sunderland Til I Die Season 2 confirmed as being released on April 1st. April Fool's Day.

    Featuring the nonsensical January sale of their top goalscorer, the farcical £3m signing of Will Grigg, Jack Ross clutching draws from the jaws of victory and 2 soul-crushing defeats at Wembley, 

  3. They do sing about the DFB quite a lot. 'DFB, fussballmafia' and 'scheisse DFB'.

    Would agree about the language. If you want to be insulting, surely there must be better than son of a whore. Is that the German equivalent of 'fucking c**t'?

    I find the whole 'but they don't stop the games for racism but do for banners about a white billionaire' a bit pretendy woke. A handful of fans shouting something offensive about a black player at close range is incredibly difficult for the referee to pick up on and is often over in a matter of seconds.
    True enough, but the monkey noises directed at Torunarigha were not just a one-off and also reported to the referee who opted to take no action.
  4. As a neutral at this game who did not give one single f**k about the outcome, I can honestly say that I am a bit baffled by Goodwin's comment about playing the 'better football'. There were precious few genuine moments of quality in the game and I don't remember anything of the sort coming from St Mirren.

    Obika seemed to be hopelessly isolated the majority of the time, there was no point in the game that Aberdeen seemed to be in any way under threat. That is not to say that they were outstanding. Their goal was outstanding, but after that they were not tested at all other than a strike from distance that Lewis managed to palm away fairly comfortably.

    Would be absolutely gutted if I were a Saints fan, 'an opportunity missed' doesn't even begin to cover it.

    I for one have been watching and supporting Ayr for 60 years, if a plastic pitch comes in I’ll not be back, that’s why I wasn’t there today and won’t be at Dumfries in a couple of weeks absolute torture watching games on it, only good for training on to keep up fitness.

    You have been attending Ayr United matches for 60 years, and have undoubtedly witnessed countless humbling defeats to the likes of Brechin City, Cowdenbeath and Stenhousemuir, yet this is the hill you would choose to die on? A pitch?

    Behave.

  6. Union's banners did include the line 'Fick dich DFB' at the end so the DFB are getting it as well, and rightly so. I find it a bit cringe that they are choosing 'son of a whore' as the language of choice but I do have a large amount of sympathy with the Ultra groups.

    Ultras groups do a lot of good in Germany, with Bayern's being a great example in leading the fight against fascism, antisemitism, homophobia and racism. One of the things that has been highlighted, and rightly so, is the DFB's strong reaction to the anti-Hopp protests, with the Union Berlin game being one banner away from a full-on abandonment. Contrast this to the Schalke-Hertha game in the Pokal, where Jordan Torunarigha was racially abused yet play went on regardless. Is racism okay but a collective protest against a millionaire owner is not?

    Heading this weekend on a Stag Doo as mentioned a wee bit above.

    Any help on best places to go to for a group of guys in our late 30’s & 40’s.

    Decent music, beer and some candy for the eye would be preferable.

    The Friedrichshain area of the city is good for bars etc with decent music. Eye candy is debatable unless you are referring to some deliciously juicy pints in which case that is also an unquestionable yes.

    The olympiastadion was always a fortress the past couple of seasons. Bring back Lusti!

     

    Yet this season has seen wins picked up in Koln, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg with draws in Munich and Frankfurt, places where they would ordinarily get a hiding. Good thing too or they would be marooned at the bottom.
