MONKMAN Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 3 games to go in Bundesliga 2. Freiburg now 7 points ahead of 3rd place Nurnberg and almost certain to go up as champions following RB Leipzig drawing away to Kaiserslautern last night. I'm waiting on Leipzig to win the league in an accumulator, for over £1500. Not looking likely now considering they were 6 clear a month ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Must be infuriating supporting a team in the German league, as even the bigger clubs like Dortmund get their talent sucked up by Bayern 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 tight stuff at the bottom of the 2nd division with 5 teams separated by 3 points. Duisburg won the derby vs Dusseldorf to get off the bottom of the table for the first time since August(!) and were replaced by Paderborn who are on for back to back relegations . FSV Frankfurt have lost their last 5 and are in the playoff spot. Next week sees 4 of the 5 play each other with 1860 vs Paderborn and Dusseldorf vs FSV, Duisburg go to Sandhausen The final week has another HTH with FSV vs 1860. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Jag Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) H96's upswing in form since Daniel Stendel took over from Thomas Schaaf came to an abrupt halt with a 1-3 defeat at home to Schalke 04, (Slightly ironic with it being Stendel's first game in charge after getting a 2 year contract). Game started well enough with both teams being very attack minded. Sobiech got a deserved equaliser in the 20th minute. After that the game regressed with Huntelaar giving Schalke a 2-1 lead right on the stroke of half-time. 2nd half was bit of a midfield bore-fest, with Schöpf sealing the 3 points fpr Schalke in the 80th minute. The win for Schalke keeps them in the shake-up for the 4th CL spot (albeit play-off) along with Gladbach and Hertha, and guarantees them EL participation next year. No games today in the top 3 leagues, due to it being 1st May. Tomorrow Bremen (currently 2nd bottom) host Stuttgart (4th bottom) with both teams looking to avoid both the 2nd bottom (relegation) and 3rd bottom (play-off against Nuremburg) spots.

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 A cracking result for Werder Bremen as they beat Stuttgart 6-2 to get out of relegation places. Werder were excellent, but Stuttgart were as bad defensively as any Bundesliga side I've ever watched. Truly shocking performance from them. Claudio Pizzaro is still a class act btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 One for German Jag. Hannover 96 have worn red shirts for a few years but the fans seem to wear green, black & white as are all the flags in the crowd. What's the reason for the red shirts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Jag Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 One for German Jag. Hannover 96 have worn red shirts for a few years but the fans seem to wear green, black & white as are all the flags in the crowd. What's the reason for the red shirts? Supposedly goes back to the early 1900's. H96 were grounded with the club colours being black/white/green. Apparently the football league / association they played in at that time (North German league) introduced a policy of the league themselves deciding (in certain cases) what colour shirts each team/sport club played in, with H96 being allocated red. This explanation is backed up somewhat with Arminia Hannover (founded 1910, currently 5th tier) who have club colours of green & white, but have always played in blue. In the fan-shop catalogue which I receive once a year, everything is black/white/green with the exception of the home strip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting concept or the North German blazers just didn't like green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Ilkay Gündogan dislocated his kneecap in training and is going to miss the Euros. Feel really bad for the guy as that's the World Cup and now the Euros he's missed. I wonder if it will scupper a potential move to City? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Jag Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) . Thanks for that, didn't realise it went back that far. Very interesting concept or the North German blazers just didn't like green. Double checked this with a friend at the game today. Wasn't the league they were in at the time that were assigning the colours, but the local Hannover council dept. responsible for Sport Clubs/Swimming Baths!

German Jag Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 H96 finished their set of home games with a 1-0 win against Hoffenheim at a very sunny & relatively warm (24oC) Niedersachsen Stadion/HDI Arena. (Just 10 days ago there was snow in the region). Not the best of games, with a lot of long/hoof balls going nowhere. Goal for Hannover came on the half hour mark courtesy of Japanese international Kiyotake. Elsewhere, Dortmund losing in Frankfurt hands Bayern the title. Not yet had a chance to watch highlights, but supposedly 1 or 2 contentious decisions during the game. Relegation/play-off spot now concerns just Frankfurt, Bremen & Stuttgart (H96 already long gone), with Bremen hosting Frankfurt and Stuttgart away to Wolfsburg next Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
