Think sanctions are likely to be applied or announced towards end of season, so that might be almost the entire season corrupted...along with the last 18.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Second thought. The Liverpool response to the red card was shocking. Just no resilience or fortitude. Frankly even in our good spells we were carrying passengers. This squad ain't good enough.

Two thoughts. Watching them all celebrating like that is just the utter "fuck you all, we're getting away with it all, lol" wth Sky jizzing over it all as a soundtrack... League is a sham, they couldn't give a fuck and frankly it's hard to see if it's worth bothering anymore.

This really is the closest I've ever come to hating football. This is just wrong. City are there laughing and celebrating...... they've been found guilty of cheating FFS, they shouldn't even be playing here.

Um...no, it's not. Especially when you take the currency symbol into account.

In all honesty, to think about today as a 'Feiertag' when you look at where Germany mentally is right now makes me sick. Day by day the country I moved to and fell in love with is disappearing and being replaced by the ugliest thing imaginable.

Diese Veranstaltung, zu der @annerabe.bsky.social sich mutig begeben hat, erinnert mich an gleichförmige, emotionslos-ostalgische Wochenenden bei der Schwiegerfamilie im Havelland, nur politischer. Gruselig. Und unbedingt lesenswert.

This Carney? Yeah that sucks. But doesn't surprise me. In the UK Butnham has said jack shit about masked Nazis attacking the ports while in Germany the left winning Berlin is seen as an apocalypse while Nazis winning 2 states is...just news. We are heading for disaster.

In the end it's too abstract, too complicated, too easy to ignore and deny and see as unsolvable. Along comes a populist with a simple message in short form video...and it's all over.

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It's okay. Thing is, the general public tend to be pro green right up until they see the first bill. Greens here in Germany were huge in 2021, got into government...did a lot...now are about as popular as smallpox. Recently it has dropped off the radar completely.

Neither are the public to be fair, which may explain the politician behaviour.

Happy with football. Devastated by politics. Seems 28 years invested in living in Germany will soon be ended by ignorant angry cunts and complacent non-entities.

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

So, there were a few very encouraging performaces there by Koumas, McConnell and Nyomi, harrying, working hard being physical. I liked that, so did Anfield. Felt it drop when they came off, but irony then hits with Dom's thunderblaster. Funny that...

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

On the reds today: shite. All the promise of last two games washed away. Low tempo, boring, ineffectual and a midfield centre that just isn't good enough. Basic PL team and we are incapable. Frankly City might maul us badly.

If you ever find yourself telling an employee "Just don't use the toilet at work", take a moment, and phone a serious lawyer, because you are about to make an expensive mistake.

A lot of positives from the Reds today Overall fight, character, Big Ron and the Jacketman, result... But it's a journey and there is a lot of work to do here.

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I'm not disagreeing with you on that...but people often do go with paths of least resistance. If you want immersive German experience, Berlin might not be the optimal location. But it's complicated.

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I mean, apart from the fact every German who lives there will switch to English a millisecond after they realise you're not German and you can live for years here without learning a syllable of German.

They didn't want to believe that people could *actually* be fascists. It had to be some other reason. It was a protest, we can fix it. Then the fascist clocked on....oh, actually they *are* pretty fash.

I used to live in Saxony Anhalt, and through my former relationship had many years of contact after we left. This result does not surprise me, but it is nonetheless horrifying. I guess this is who they are, and I have to think long and hard if I am to stay in this country after 28 years.

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Gonna focus on positives tonight: Gakpo was great, Ron solid as fuck, Isak cold finishes, all round more fight, intensity and cohesion. Faded 2nd half, but I called that early. Imagine is when we are back to proper fitness levels. October/November is when we should begin to fly.

000

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Gotta be honest, for all the 'positives' at Anfield, the glaring deficits are terrifying. Lack of DM, the need for a proper RB, the fact we have 300 LWingers (one more incoming) and no RW (despite Gakpo being good today). The Edwards/Hughes era will go down as a disaster...and vindicate Klopp.

Just switched the word out. The NSDAP used the word 'race'. It's the same thing he is talking about. He's a Nazi and for Nazis there is literally nothing else to think, talk about or take into consideration. It's all about race.

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

It's not wrong that government response to this is woefully lacking but it also omits that the moment they make any movement towards acting...they collapse in the polls and the (often far right) opposition surges. It's not just "them up there" at fault. We all are.

I am very sad about Dolly Parton. I knew about her songs for decades but it was only about ten years ago that I learned about all the other amazing things she did and was. One of the very best people to have lived.

I get your criticism of Isak, agree with it too. Personally I was glad he let Dom take it as I felt he would definitely miss.

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Right now I'm gonna disagree with you, respectfully. More and more I feel Wirtz is not good enough for the Premier League. Last season was poor and then a poor World Cup too. Hope I'm wrong but at some point soon he needs to start producing.

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Dunno what I think really. Stealing that point hugely satisfying yet...abysmal performance really. Coach needs a lot of time and some recruitment...but a few "starters" there were just not good enough. Very worrying.

000

Brian McGuire @redbrian76.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

One of them goes into the 10? Or we go three in midfield like we used to under Klopp? No idea really, squad looks a mess right now.

Getting/Keeping fit. By every possible metric and angle of looking at it, it's a great idea. For health, for yourself. But fuck me, do I hate the very notion of doing that shit myself. Instant, unforgiving pain and misery and those benefits vanish into abstract goo.

One of the most depressing thing you will see this autumn, after the absurdly hot and destructive summer in Europe...will be the voting intention polls. It will not register at all with voters no matter how hot it gets, how many fires, how many storms or floods. It never registers with them.
