Only in the first round. And only for the Regionalliga Clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the size of Germany, I think sometimes it's fair enough. Stuttgart, for example, is a 1,200km round trip from Berlin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really liked away goals as a method and don't see it as relevant any more- it's unfair too if a tie goes to extra time in a 2nd leg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrTroopMajor Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Absolute stupidity by Nicolas Gonzalez to stand right in front of the goalkeeper in an offside position. That Stuttgart free kick was going in either way. Congrats to Union Berlin on promotion, looking forward to the Berlin derby next season - a 75,000 sell-out with about 15,000-20,000 Union fans.

German Jag Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Wehen Wiesbaden win 3-2 in Ingolstadt to win the BL2 ~ 3. Liga play-off. Closer to home H96 appoint ex. trainer Mirko Slomka who together with former player Jan Schlaudraff, as Sportdirektor, are given the task of getting H96 promoted. Not sure what to make of it, bit of a nostalgia trip back to the heady days of 2011-2013 in the Europa League. Back then though, there were players like Didi Ya-Konan, Ron-Robert Zieler, Mame Djiouf et al in the team. Case of wait and see what players come in. As regards pre-season friendlies, apart from the usual (15-0) run-outs against local village teams, one against Tier 4 Lüneburger Hansa SK, as well as 3. Liga Hansa Rostock, in Rostock, have been announced. Draw for the 1st round of the DFB-Pokal is 15th June. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, couple of years back, Paderborn avoided relegation to Tier 3, due to 1860 Munich not getting a license for Tier 3 and having to go from BL2 straight down to Tier 4 Regionaliga Bayern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paderborn actually should have been relegated to the Regionaliga that season. Their last 6 seasons have been: 13/14 - promotion to Bundesliga 14/15 - relegation to Bundesliga 2 15/16 - relegation to 3.Liga 16/17 - finished 18th & should have been relegated to Regionaliga but saved by 1860 17/18 - promotion to Bundesliga 2 18/19 - promotion to Bundesliga It’s actually baffling how they’ve managed to achieve all this. Essentially 3 successive relegations surrounded by 3 promotions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
