Right then ---- time for Fussball!

[dee]

Have we got a discussion on this somewhere already? We should have!

Who's with me in the 'thank fuck a top league is playing again' camp?

I'm going on record here as as a Schalke 04 fan purely based on the fact I used to live in Essen (whilst there I watched RW Essen and Dortmund but never Schalke - however that's not stopping me!).

Anyone else watching? For those that do whose for who?

Ill defo be watching Dortmund Schalke as Im sure will Klopp.

 

[Hansern]

Oh Yes, Dortmund - Schalke all the way.

Stuttgart tomorrow, which is my German team. And Klopp’s..

 

[The Nomad]

Any streeeammmmmssss?

I binned off BT at the start of this pandemic.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Soft spot for Dortmund cos of ynwa, boss fans, klopp links, etc.

Want to watch rb leipzig cos of werner links.

Wagner impressed me in the PL (despite results), so schalke should be good to watch.

Me & the lads decided we had to pick a struggling side to support too, so I've gone for union Berlin simply cos I loved the BBC doco on them & their socialist fans & stadium building etc.

Union is boss. As is St Pauli.

Super 6 is back for those who play it.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Switched from dortmund to leipzig.

It definitely feels 'less' without fans.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Haaland gets his compulsory goal.

Great goal all round though, lovely move.

 

[MomoWASright]

Freiburg one up. I’m swinging corner catches someone on their ankle and goes in.

Werner with a decent pass earlier on but his teammate couldn’t convert.

Fuck if I’m learning these German players names.

 

[jon545660]

Lovely 2nd goal for Dortmund.

 

[Hansern]

Weird seeing the players keeping a distance while celebrating, but lovely to have footy back. Lovely!

 

[MomoWASright]

The half time music is making me laugh. What’s the point? There is Nobody to play it too.

Dortmund are some team aren't they?

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'm surprised how sharp the players look (schalke keeper being an exception as he's still asleep), considering it's almost like the start of a new season with no pre season matches.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Also, the rb leipzig game was horrible when I briefly switched to it cos it was almost silent.

It may be echoey but at least the subs & staff are making a fair bit of noise in the dortmund game.

For all matches all people at the ground should be made to shout. Even the cameramen.

What a move, great goal Guerreiro

4-0

 

[FoxForceFive]

It's very odd they can't celebrate together, yet walking back to the centre spot they touch arms in a weird high five.

Did look offside.

Sancho coming on

 

[Hansern]

Freiburg scoring a second in overtime but VAR disallows it. RB Leipzig draws 1-1

 

[peekay]

I was really excited about watching the Dortmund game. Ten minutes into the game, I realized that I really don't care or like club football unless we are involved.

I remember 10-12 years ago, I used to like watching neutral games also. Stopped watching them as I did not have time.

 

[Jack D Rips]

Know what you mean @peekay . Today was of absolutely no interest to me, other than the fact that football had started again.

 

[tombrown]

I was dead excited for today; arranged with my son which match we woudl watch. Then I was bored after 15 minutes & went and played with chainsaws instead

Not sure if it was the lack of crowds, the standard of football or (most likely) the fact neither team was Liverpool

 

[MomoWASright]

I enjoyed the bits I watched. After a few minutes the lack of crowd wasn’t an issue. I dipped in to the Leipzig game and Dortmund games. I caught the last 15 of Frankfurt.

I’ve played on Buckley Hill and the likes for over a decade so no crowd isn’t abnormal for me.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I enjoyed it.

Out of my mates it was about 50/50 split, but the ones who didn't like it don't usually watch games other than Liverpool.

I think when you watch neutral games or footy in other settings you find it easier to just concentrate on the actual footy.

That said I did find the dortmund match better to watch cos the subs & staff were fucking noisy.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Thought it was fine. All being well and no issues arise, hard for PL not to restart especially if no second peak or wave of covid. Belgian, Dutch and French leagues might have been a bit premature perhaps in cancelling

Of course its not the same when we dont play Covid 19 or not, but at least some form of football is back.
