The old favourite. Nice try deutchebahn. I'll have a snap of the screen on arrival, fear not ;0]

Alexa, show me a car crash waiting to happen. No way Glasner will tolerate Marinakus interfering. Fall out and gone by October. #nottinghamforest

The mystery of the DB algorithm. Same train, same day from Dresden in August. The service calls at BER & Ostkreuz enroute to Rostock. A ticket on the same train between BER & Ostkreuz could be purchased for €5.24. Go figure. Nope me neither. #deutschebahn

How to build bridges and win fans over.... Mr Harris is chairman of the Northern Premier League + sits on the FA Council. Or did. Unsurprisingly he's now suspended. Suspect he's cooked. #FCUM #NPL

A blast from the past. Withdean era Brighton fans may remember Winfried Schäfer who was manager of Cameroon at the 2002 World Cup & who Dick Knight wanted to replace Peter Taylor. Today he's a technical director for Ghana. There are variations to the strange story of Winfried Schäfer & Brighton

Congratulations are due to ex Union favourite Taiwo Awoniyi for successfully initiating todays fire drill at the Tottenham Stadium. A safe and orderly evacuation was completed in record time. #spurs

Given his jinxed history maybe Kepa Arrizabalaga shouldn't be near Wembley finals. :0[] #leaguecupfinal

Germany doesn't do beat-about-the-bush small talk. Straight to the point as-it-is. Bad Luck for the assholes who won't have a tram service for several days....

Galatasaray currently holding Dortmund's beer for CL 2nd leg choke of the day. The former have history in that dept so still favourite especially with Juve down to 10 men and now into Extra Time. #championsleague

No trams on the Berlin network for two days due to ice on the cables after the temperatures dropped. Berlin personified.

The most embarrassing submission of a title since Prince Andrew. Take the positives: - No regulations & paperwork to bother with and ultimately screw up for entry into European Competition - Macclesfield is convenient to Manchester Airport & has direct trains to Euston too. #Macclesfield

Berlin-Sudkreuz. A sign indicating this is a non smoking station also carries a subsidiary sign with directions to the smoking area. Germany personified. #NoContextGermany

Shout out to Jordan Cullinane-Liburd of National League Tamworth who's managed to pick up a straight red after just five minutes at Forest Green Rovers. Top effort sir. Bizarrely Tamworth have just taken the lead. This has got the makings of a bonkers game. #FGR #Tamworth

Hoeneß wasn't available this morning, so a credible stand in was needed. 😬

Went to the Alte Forsterei expecting nothing but came away disappointed with only a point. A mega strong performance from Union who outfought and pressed the life out of Bayern.

I despise international breaks. On the plus it gives an op to catch a landespokal game. Checking this weekends games, this one caught the eye. Oh er? Sure to be a warm reunion of old friends. :0

Shameful @fc-union-berlin.de Many of us have dumped the fascist & bot cesspit run by Musk for a more civilised forum. No moral justification for this action. A serious lack of self awareness with this choice.

Chaos at BER airport due to a cyber attack apparently. The difference to a normal day there will be negligible.

The Dresden Frauenkirche looks over the last remains of the Carola Bridge which saw fit to collapse in the middle of the night last September. Plans for a new bridge are ongoing and uncertain. Anyone familiar with German civil engineering projects will be unsurprised. ©️ Chris Stratton

This is wonderful. 4th tier Newport County have made in collab with Athletic Bilbao a football shirt remembering the 56 Basque children who fled Franco in 1937, finding safety in the Welsh town, some forming team called The Basque Boys. I'll getting one for my son as I'm sure will many

Spain done nothing tonight to rescue the reputation of womens football, as not proficient when it comes to taking penalties. To spin it - the women keepers are world class at saving penalties compared to the men. :0

Kevin Schade scores in the 33rd minute to give Brentford a 2-1 v Manchester United. That's sad for Man U.... * niche German pun ;0

Textbook Bundesliga 2 tonight. 1st home to 3rd bottom, there was only going to be one result. Throw in a comedy own goal, all the essential ingredients for Europe's most bonkers league. HSV doing HSV things too. It's April. We know how this usually pans out. Will they screw up promotion again?

Chris Stratton @sussexstratton.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

From despair and on fast track to BL2 a few weeks ago, 10 points from a possible 12 in the last four games, the world of FC Union looks a whole load more positive. Enough points left to make European Football next season? ;0 #unveu
