Very late drama indeed and heartbreaking in the end.

Not sure if we have what it's needed to beat Stuttgart at the play off. I thought we had it last year after a great first match performance but it all fell apart at the second game...

This team broke my spirit years ago so it's fine. I'm numb to it all.

The defense has been completely unstable since Vusko was banned but today was a good example of getting away with that at 2.liga level. Sandhausen wasted several opportunities that a better team wouldn't have. Also the midfield is always much weaker without Meffert and I don't know if he can play 3 games in a week with his knee which is another concern.

Anything can happen I suppose but I think it'll be comfortable enough for Stuttgart.

Its not only that. Its the built in arrogance of being Bavarian - they consider themselves to be superior to other Germans.

They just expected to win and that's what happened. To rock up to the away fixture with all the hats, shirts and paraphernalia printed out and ready to go is just that, arrogance. I will admit though, its not misplaced.

I so expected this result I backed Bayern at over 6/1 on Betfair because everyone knew it was inevitable.

NIMAN · 28-05-2023 07:04PM

You got Bayern at 6/1 to win a league game? Very strange.

As for them having the winners shirts printed, all teams who can win the league going into the last game would do that, in every league. Just in case.

It's not like Bayern are the 1st team ever to have done that.

NIMAN · 28-05-2023 07:05PM

It's safe to say Dortmund blew it, rather than Bayern winning it.

Bayern just did what they had to do and hope.

Bayern were 7.2 on Betfair to win the title.

Couldn't say no.

NIMAN · 28-05-2023 07:13PM

Cos the bookies thought Dortmund were a shoe in

I was at the st Pauli game yesterday. This went down very well :)

I know they lost it, but with the chances they had, you'd think faith would allow one more goal to slip in, or Bayern to just be inches away with one of their chances.

BVB just haven't been quite good enough the last decade, but they've gotten very little of the rub of the green either. They, and Reus, deserved that at the weekend imo

NIMAN · 30-05-2023 07:55PM

As a football fan, I was willing Dortmund on at the weekend, as I watched both games.

But couldn't believe how off the pace BVB were. Had Haller hit that pen properly and scored, it might have given them the lift to push on, but it seemed to deflate them, which is obvious.

They left it too little too late, but with Adeyemi going off injured too, they didn't get much luck.

Bayern didn't play well, but they did what they had to.

NIMAN · 01-06-2023 08:50PM

Watching the Stuttgart v Hamburg play off. Should be nearly over already after 45min. Stuttgart 1 up but could have been 3. Missed a pen.

Hamburg no shots on goal. Not at the races.

Yeah, Fernandez keeping us in the tie, but nothing to show that we have a chance to win it...

NIMAN · 01-06-2023 08:58PM

That was too easy.

The tie could be over tonight. Stuttgart look like they could score away too.

NIMAN · 01-06-2023 09:01PM

And maybe that is it over. Hamburg haven't won a header tonight.

Irish Aris · 01-06-2023 09:06PM

This escalated fast... can't see a way back...

Oat23 · 01-06-2023 09:17PM

Going as well as most expected.

NIMAN · 01-06-2023 09:20PM

A harsh red?

Was hoping for a bit more fight.

Team still seems deflated from Sunday's agony...

NIMAN · 01-06-2023 09:42PM

It will be an amazing game on Monday if Hamburg are going to be in the Bundesliga again..

Very one sided tonight.

Oat23 · 02-06-2023 09:46PM

Bielefeld almost certainly relegated for the second year in a row. Wiesbaden 4-0 up and the game has been stopped because of trouble in the away section.

adaminho · 05-06-2023 07:52PM

Hamburg starting like a house on fire and 1-0 up with a great strike!

NIMAN · 05-06-2023 10:44PM

And stuffed in the end over 2 legs.

Hamburg vs Schalke live on Skysports YouTube.

Oat23 · 28-07-2023 08:24PM

Classic 2 Liga. Defending is frowned upon.

HSV so wasteful in that half but the Schalke keeper has been in great form on his debut.

Oat23 · 28-07-2023 10:32PM

The lack of promotion from the league leading up/during/after this game has been shambolic. There wasn't much else on tonight and it was HSV v Schalke. Sky UK were showing 5 year old League One football on Sky Sports Football instead and put the game on their YouTube channel.

The Bundesliga accounts on Twitter haven't tweeted in weeks either.

An 8 goal thriller and the official highlight package is a hastily thrown together goal compilation which only tells half the story.

The DFL are a hopeless organisation.

There are 2 more games on YouTube this week if anyone is interested. Hertha vs Wehen Wiesbaden tonight at 17:30 and Schalke vs Lautern tomorrow night at 19:30

Sky have been a disaster for the Bundelsliga in this part of the world. I didn't even know Bundesliga 2 was back last weekend. I thought it was this weekend. I would have watched that for sure. It's a shame BT/TNT didn't hold on to it. If they have the rights for something, they show it, end of. Sky are so random with their coverage. One Friday a game could be televised and the next Friday it might be only on bloody phone app. More than once last season when games were advertised for the app/you tube, they actually forgot to put the match on. And unless it's Bayern v Dortmund, there is zero advertising. It almost feels like the got the rights for the sole purpose trying to demean the league.

Anyway, I will watch Hertha today (if sky remember to switch in on). I wouldn't be surprised if they got relegated again this season. The club are in a bad way.
