I despise international breaks. On the plus it gives an op to catch a landespokal game. Checking this weekends games, this one caught the eye. Oh er? Sure to be a warm reunion of old friends. :0

Shameful @fc-union-berlin.de Many of us have dumped the fascist & bot cesspit run by Musk for a more civilised forum. No moral justification for this action. A serious lack of self awareness with this choice.

Chaos at BER airport due to a cyber attack apparently. The difference to a normal day there will be negligible.

Rotten Trips?! Bloody Cheek. How very dare they....

Bravo Deutsche Bahn, Bravo. 👏 👏 Few or no toilets on a long distance service. Cross your legs if you're traveling to Rostock.

Recycling is taken seriously in Germany. Never underestimate the dangers of attempting to climb into the clothes recycling box. Fraught with risk. Cont....

Actually.....

Poop :(

Ann-Katrin Berger is better than André Onana. Fact.

The Dresden Frauenkirche looks over the last remains of the Carola Bridge which saw fit to collapse in the middle of the night last September. Plans for a new bridge are ongoing and uncertain. Anyone familiar with German civil engineering projects will be unsurprised. ©️ Chris Stratton

This is wonderful. 4th tier Newport County have made in collab with Athletic Bilbao a football shirt remembering the 56 Basque children who fled Franco in 1937, finding safety in the Welsh town, some forming team called The Basque Boys. I'll getting one for my son as I'm sure will many

Spain done nothing tonight to rescue the reputation of womens football, as not proficient when it comes to taking penalties. To spin it - the women keepers are world class at saving penalties compared to the men. :0

Tuning up the tiny violin..

Kevin Schade scores in the 33rd minute to give Brentford a 2-1 v Manchester United. That's sad for Man U.... * niche German pun ;0

Tonight for the integrity of football and a big middle 🖕 to the fraudsters of Bochum who have attempted to avoid the drop to BL2 by unsporting means; Come on #fcheidenheim ! #fcunion #fckdfb

Sent by a friend in Bochum atm. Congratulations to Patrick Drewes 👏👏🏆 #fcunion #unveu

Textbook Bundesliga 2 tonight. 1st home to 3rd bottom, there was only going to be one result. Throw in a comedy own goal, all the essential ingredients for Europe's most bonkers league. HSV doing HSV things too. It's April. We know how this usually pans out. Will they screw up promotion again?

More sad news. R.I.P. Clem Burke. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

From despair and on fast track to BL2 a few weeks ago, 10 points from a possible 12 in the last four games, the world of FC Union looks a whole load more positive. Enough points left to make European Football next season? ;0 #unveu

Blame a foreigner...

The HOWOGE-Arena Hans-Zoschke, home of Oberliga Nord SV Lichtenberg 47 v SV Staaken. 1-3-25. Primitive but full of zeitgeist charm. Modern corporate concrete doesn't come close . #svlichtenberg

VAR got even more creative than offside by a toenail with that awful intervention last night. Darlings of UEFA Real Madrid were of course the beneficiary. What was originally a good idea has been badly managed and needs a total reboot. Football as a spectacle has been ruined. #FckFifa

Double Oscar Winners. #fcunion #unveu

😢 💔 R.I.P. Rick Buckler 🥁 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Confirming Bundesliga 2 continues to be the most bonkers league ever: Magdeburg beat leaders Cologne 3-0 this evening to go 3rd in the table. Tonight was Magdeburg's first home win of the season! Their previous 9 wins were all away from home. #bundesliga2

That goal from Brighton was out the Wimbledon Manual of old, but who cares.... 27 min Brighton 1 Chelsea 0 #bhafc

Hoppeheim 0 Union 4 Albion 2 Chelsea 1 Had worse weekends for results 😎🤗

Things you love to see. Joel Veltman launching Cucurella into orbit. Ah Cucurella 🐍 Booooooooo #BHAFC

Pardon, What? Last centuries gossip, surely. Apparently her brother has emptied her grave to cover up her murder. Rather futile as ol Phil isn't here to answer for his crimes. All tabloid bollocks anyway. Everyone knows it was Megan

Wir fahren nach Berlin 🎶 Not exactly. Flixtrain has come to a grinding halt somewhere in rural Brandenburg. Somewhat similar to Union's season. Today's the day it turns around, yes? 💪 🔴⚪️ #fcunion #unveu

Shame on the DFB panel. The decision is out of context and unjustified. This outrageous decision today is clear bias motivated payback against Union who have been an annoying thorn in the DFB side for years. Play acting, simulation and play acting by Bochum has been rewarded. A dangerous precedent

Random out of context things you see: A Berlin S-Bahn parked in a siding at Niederau in Southern Saxony. 👀

Not all closed football stadiums are turned into shopping centres or housing. Some like the Ernst Grube Stadium, former home of BSG Stahlwerk Riesa in Sachsen, the tumbleweed is left to roll over. There last competive game was in 2003. Minutes from the station too so v convenient. :) #loststadiums

1. What will his excuse be this time? If he does go to West Ham, the fanbase will soon lose patience if he doesn't hit the ground running. His record suggests not. At Brighton, aside the last 12 or so games of his last full season + the start before he walked, his record was average at best.

Sad to read the passing of Piranhas front man Bob Grover. The Piranhas were a big part of the late 70s Brighton scene at the legendary Vault. If anyone doesn't know the Piranhas you'll have heard their signature tune 'Tom Hark' for sure. R.I.P. Bob Grover. A formative part of my teen music years

As expected FC Union Berlin have sacked Bo Svensson after a run of poor results. His refusal to utilise the 2 summer strikers was baffling. Regardless, recruitment at Union the past 2 seasons has been poor. Most would have struggled with the current squad.

Straight Red for Pascal Groß in the BVB 3-1 win at Wolfsburg tonight. He's had a rough few weeks form wise. A local paper from the Ruhr region has slaughtered him this evening. Brutal stuff. Google Translate gives the gist. #BHAFC www.derwesten.de/sport/fussba...

The difference between UK and German head coaches under pressure. The former get disingenuous BoD confidence votes, often sacked a week later. German MDs tell it straight. Directness without small talk. A classic German trait. Svensson is in lame duck territory🦆 bulinews.com/heldt-declin...

The idiot who threw the lighter has been handed a 3 year stadium ban. Rightly so. Bochum are taking the piss in attempting to get the result overturned. Drewes acting has also impressed. Starlight Express next to the Ruhrstadion have offered him an acting role. www.sportschau.de/regional/rbb...

Musk has openly endorsed the AfD plus started following Wiedel on his toxic and failing forum. Time for EVERYONE to jettison that cesspit of the dangerous megalomaniac.

Oh? :0 The sporting director with footballs finest garden certainly has the art of money for nothing sussed. Time for Greenfingers Dan to get his spade and rake out the shed again. #BHAFC www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Taxes, death and losing at Fulham. Some things are so certain.

Heute Abend 30 Minuten Verspätung #scheißDB

I'm not convinced the IT bods at British Airways are up to speed. According to the onboard intranet thingy today, my flight to Berlin was enroute to memory lane at Schönefeld which closed circa 4 yrs ago. Fortunately the Captain spotted the error and diverted to Tempelhof....

Clueless 🤡 owner sacks respected and progressive manager in Liam Rosenior and employs Tim Walter, with predictable 'gone before Christmas' ending. Feel sorry for Carl Rushworth who's wasted a season benchwarming at this lot. Swansea player of season 23/24! #bhafc will surely haul him back 1st Jan.

When an email from the abomination that is BER Airport drops as a matter of course into the junk folder. Technology knows.
