So which German team are you supporting next weekend?
Dortmund for me, obvs.
Hertha Berlin i reckon. I imagine they blast out uncompromising Techno during the game and sell big fuck off Bratwursts.
Bratwursts that nobody eats because they’re straight out from the night before?
Union Berlin > Hertha Berlin

wrongun any reason? have you been to any games of either of them?…
I’ve been in Berlin for over 6 years now and still don’t really have an allegiance to either of them. I currently live right on the boundary of the more Hertha and more Union areas as well.
I went to a Hertha game last season and it was quite dull tbh, though they’re not helped by still being stuck in the Olympiastadion with the athletics track meaning the stands are miles from the pitch. Not got to a Union game yet.
mono-stereo no techno at Hertha matches. Loads of big sausages though if you want.
Not sure which of the two, if any, are particularly more “techno”. Hertha is the west Berlin club, Union the east. Klock is from west Berlin so perhaps favours Hertha if he cares. However Dettmann is from east Berlin/GDR so might lean towards Union.
Much as I am missing the game itself, I have to say, it’s nice to not have the constant football hyperbole machine in your ear.

Went once to a Union game. incredible atmosphere.
Had a mate who lived for their several years and he is still a die hard Union fan, now. living in Brussels, making it to several games each year
The story to Union is incredible. Loads of different articles written on it but heres one post their promotion to Bundesliga

So can we watch it anywhere normal, or back on the streams?
Just testing URLs in this capacity…
Few of ze German games are on BT sport tomorrow
yes! looking forward to settling in for an afternoon of Bundesliga-based banter this arvo 
Wanted to watch the Dortmund game but can’t listen to Macnmanamanamanamanamanamanama all afternoon.
It’s actually all a bit shit when it’s not your team. Be better off getting the S2 out and synthesising train wrecks whilst giving it the Jesus pose
Watched Newcastle replay their 8-0 game against Sheff Wed while sinking some beers rather than get drawn into the German footy. Decent couple of hours entertainment.
