Rumour has it that Thompson was working as a labourer on a building site (while also co-commentating on Radion Lincolnshire) before we appointed him and probably went straight back when we sacked him. Although he did actually managed our best finish of the Trust years. I wouldn't be surprised...

If it was Carling you tried I could understand. Yuck! As a non-native speaker I don't get everything right. I also tend to slip up with Fickers Offenbach. No idea where I get that from :devil: Another prominent former player is one David Wagner, who the local rag is busily claiming as one of...

The first half was a really physical battle with very few passes to feet. I'm always struck by how physical League Two is compared to German football but that was something else. We prevailed though, we were first to every loose ball and looked like we wanted it more. The match turned when...

If FL chairmen know they're going to encounter a lot of fan resistance they'll think twice. If crowds in the Trophy double, the powers that be will be able to assume that they can sneak B teams into the League without it affecting attendances too much. If they halve then it's different. And...

I made my ifollow debut on Saturday. It worked very well, although the stream is obviously not HD resolution (first world problems). No buffering for me at all with a connection speed of 50 mbps. I did without the commentary. In the first half I watched on my laptop and tried to switch on the...

We have some seriously good real ales Dirk. Many of your compatriates pay silly money for the honour of drinking it! My team is Waldhof Mannheim, who play in the Regionalliga Südwest, which is the fourth division. They're well known in Germany having played in the Bundesliga in the 80s and...

Not keen then?

Well done Schalke, shame it's Veltins though. Not my tipple of choice.

Darmstadt do play in an old, crumbling ground though, and they have their charms (if it doesn't rain). And since they don't have permission to play there beyond January(?) there might not be many more chances. Is a Paprikawurst a Feuerwurst?

I'd rather play Dulwich. One of the soul-destroying things about B teams in Germany is that nobody cares about them. They bring no fans (literally) and when they score a goal, no-one cheers. For fans of Dortmund, for instance, the results of BVB II are barely even a sideshow. I much prefer...

OK I'll vent seeing as the poor folk on the Notts forum are probably sick of hearing it from me now. Notts attracted 1400 against Everton U21/23/whatever, which is about 1300 more than I was hoping for and a couple of hundred more than we usually get in that competition. This is bad news as it...

Forrester was hard-working but luckless for us. He'd long passed his best by then though, I think we were his last League club. I missed an obvious one - Guy Branston. He played half a game, kicked the ball up in the air a couple of times, nearly got sent off, was substituted at half time and...

This could be a very long list so I'll single out one for abuse, er I mean analysis. Tony Hackworth - a striker signed from Leeds for a six-figure fee on the strength of one sub appearance in the Champions League. And who was utterly terrible. In the early 2000s we had a string of strikers who...

Cheers. I actually live just a short walk away from where Timewarp takes place. It's not my cup of tea personally but I don't have a problem with it either and the people who go seem a friendly bunch. And it's fun driving around the next morning when the streets resemble a zombie apocalypse :D

Cheers everyone, I speak plenty of German at home (with an occasional Monnemerisch twang). So much so that I sometimes say thing like "ja" or "genau" on my visits back, which is disturbing. So I will leave the dummgebabbel for elsewhere ;)
