Hertha's current home record in the Bundesliga: Games played: 12 Games Won: 3 Goals scored: 12 Goals conceded: 26 A grand total of 6 teams have went to the Olympiastadion and hit 3 or more goals, 7 teams if you count Dynamo Dresden in the Pokal.

AyrTroopMajor Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just now, Waspy said: 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I find it all a bit cringe-worthy, with shit-loads of half & half scarves, people wearing the scarf of one team round their neck and tying the other teams scarf round their wrist. Only upside of all this is the police presence is reduced and also not as stern as usual. 12.000 Hamburg fans in attendance for the 1st Nord Derby between both clubs to take place in Hannover. (H96 got gubbed 3-0 in Hamburg last September). To cut a long story short, typical derby football, 1-0 for H96 in the 53rd by Teuchert. 5 minutes added on, with Hamburg getting the equaliser in the 96th (sic) minute! An unexpected point, but still a f**k, f**k, fuckity, f**k moment! Next up a trip to Bielefeld. The whole "freundschaft" culture is by far one of the worst aspects of German fan culture, up there with all the denim and Mexican waves at National team games! I'm a fan of H96 (my dear Oma is from Letter) but I can not stand Hamburg, a horrible club, especially their own friendship with the ****. Just been a horrible season for Hannover all in, as much as I like the derby with Braunschweig I'd prefer they weren't playing each other one level above the regional leagues next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Jag Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 A very wet & windy day yesterday in Bielefeld. Talk of game being cancelled with numerous pitch inspections. Kick-off delayed by half an hour to see if things got better, which they didn‘t but since 26.000 were already in the stadium including 3.000 in the sold out away section then the game went ahead.Conditions provided a leveler between top and hovering above the relegation spots. H96 should at least have taken a point back along the A2 to Hannover. Not to be however, with Yabo getting the winner in the 83rd minute.Result leaves H96 still sitting precariously close to the play-off / direct relegation spots. In saying that the overwhelming majority of upcoming games are against fellow @rse end of the table strugglers.Next up, home to Holstein Kiel on Monday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 That's all the translation I got too, I'll ask my German colleagues when I'm back tomorrow. Sounded a very OTT reaction but maybe it's a culture thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG.Roma Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Waspy said: What did the banner at Hoffenheim say? From broken English twitter accounts all I got was “son of a bitch”. Something like.... "Everything's the same, the DFB breaks it's word,Hopp is still a son of a whore" There's plenty here more informed than me who can elaborate further, but it's to do with fan ownership, and how Dietmar Hopp and Hoffenheim are exempt from the rule which prevents individuals owning more than 49% of a club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The whole Hopp thing is an absolute mess. I have a lot of sympathy with German fans who are fiercely proud of the way that German clubs are owned and run. The fans are a big part of that and rich owners can't usually buy success. There's a big backlash against Leipzig (rightly so). Hopp's ownership and spending has been allowed by the German FA - should the fans be targeting them instead of Hopp? Dortmund fans were banned from Hoffenheim and that's a decision that was also backed by the league. Is Hopp the correct target for protest, should they be directed at the German FA or is it a bit of both? In reaction to the protests I've seen Adler Mannheim fans being exceptionally critical of the protests. Understandable to a point - Hoffenheim's home ground isnt that far from Mannheim and Die Adler play in the SAP Arena. That said, Mannheim fans regularly criticise Red Bull Munchen for the amount of money they can spend thanks to Red Bull's involvement. I find that to be a little bit of a double standard - why is it acceptable for Hopp but not for Red Bull Munich? Simpy because Hopp is relatively local and Die Adler have ties to SAP? Some of the language isnt acceptable. The whole "son of a whore" thing is hugely distasteful. By all means protest Hopp but mention of family members is something I really don't like. It doesnt mean that I don't support protests against Hopp. Far from it. It's just that Hopp isnt the only one who deserves criticism here and those protests shouldn't resort to unacceptable comments about his family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I've actually been wondering why the German FA aren't the ones getting the abuse. The buck clearly stops with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 In my unbiased opinion, there's nothing wrong with a small town team being funded to success by a wealthy businessman. I stand with Uncle Dietmar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Union vs Wolfsburg game got suspended a couple of times for the banners. Absolutely wild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrTroopMajor Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
