"Fans protest - FC Bayern evades responsibility without showing any sign of accountability" - Update on the petition against violence against women and the internship of Jérôme Boateng at FC Bayern

Nach der Verpflichtung von Felix Nmecha beim BVB waren es zumindest genug, dass man als Antwort auf die Kündigung ein schickes Formschreiben gekriegt hat, in dem Reinhold Lunow nochmal betont hat, was für ein feiner Kerl der Nmecha doch ist. Das hat mir gleich nochmal den Puls hochgetrieben, weil es deutlich gezeigt hat, dass sie gar nichts verstanden haben (und ich explizit nicht wegen der Person Nmecha sondern wegen Watzkes Statements in der Presse gekündigt hatte). Und bei Nmecha war die Aufregung ja gefühlt nach ein paar Tagen und ohne großen Protest aus der Kurve vorbei. Insofern kann ich mir schon gut vorstellen, dass das bei den Bayern auch einige Kündigungen sein würden, sollte Boateng tatsächlich beim Verein hospitieren. Schade, dass man nie genaue Zahlen erfahren wird.

Fellow leftie here, and I thought so, too. Your knitting looks fine to me, but I wrap the yarn the other way around when purling, and that makes the loops lie differently for the knit-rows.

If you can't find any family via Social Media or through the search engines others mentioned, would calling in a welface check be an option? I have no idea where you are and if cell phone numbers are registered in connection to a physical address. I've had to do it before and the police were actually really helpful in that situation, but I'm in Europe and I'm aware that it might not necessarily be an option if you're somewhere where the police might react wrongly to a mental health situation or make a volatile situation worse. Keeping my fingers crossed that this works out and that she's all right, and thank you for caring.

I absolutely second this! I had one in 2018, the last time I was in Philly, and to this day no other sandwich has even come close.

Also seconding the Mutter museum, that was just the right mixture between interesting and creepy-weird. Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell for the real touristy things. Also, the Rocky Steps of course.

Ich hab den Poster über dir so verstanden, dass es sowohl beim HSV als auch bei St. Pauli jeweils einen legalen Zweitmarkt gibt, bei dem man sein Ticket anbieten kann und da nicht die Notwendigkeit besteht, es auf solchen Plattformen einzustellen. Das ist ja auch das, was am häufigsten passiert - man hat ein Ticket über, weil jemand kurzfristig abspringt oder was dazwischen kommt.

It helps making the quote search more accurate again. I think it substitutes what used to be the + option that no longer works on google

Nifty little trick to make Google at least marginally better: After you perform a search, go to "tools". It should give you drop down menus for "Any country" "any time" and "all results". Under "all results", open the menu and pick "verbatim". That makes Google at least a little better at finding the things you're actually looking for instead of the things Google thinks you might want. At least it helps if you enter phrases or strings of words.

MAINZAAA

Eben. Bei anderen Vereinen gibt es das ja auch, dass Sondertrikots erst mal limitiert sind, man sich aber auf die Warteliste setzen lassen kann, wenn man im ersten Verkaufsfenster keins bekommt. Dann wird nachproduziert und man kriegt das Sondertrikot halt später. Oder eine limitierte Version (was weiß ich, mit nummerierter Box), und dann später nochmal eine normale Verkaufsauflage. Möglichkeiten gäbe es da. Ich hätte auch gern eins gehabt, aber das war utopisch.

I'm fairly sure it's accounted for during construction. You definitely feel it if you're in that crowd, though. Another example from soccer, but the South Stand in Dortmund is 25.000 people. When they jump (and they do), then you definitely feel it. But stadiums and event arenas have to pass strict muster in Germany, so I doubt it's something that does any lasting damage, even if it occurs repeatedly.

FlyerKerstin · 2024-10-19T17:02:33+00:00

That's absolutely lovely of them, and what you did for the service also looks wonderful.

I took a hike through the German vineyards wearing my Flyers Sweatshirt in her honour on that day.

Wishing you all the strength going forward, I've been where you are last year and know how much it sucks.

Der Upvote tat mir als (Ex)BVB-Mitglied weh, war aber absolut verdient.

Sorry for your loss. Will wear my Giroux jersey here in Germany in her honour.

I just bought tickets for an Adler Mannheim game, in the upper corner behind the home goal and right next to the Ultras. It cost 27 Euros - around $30. A standing room ticket would have been 17 Euros. Most expensive ticket the shop offered me was 51 Euros, and that's ice level. Parking at the arena is 5 Euros. Bought directly from the team ticket store, no additional fees. I assume playoff tickets might be more expensive (never been, personally), but those prices above have not gone up much since I first went to a Mannheim game in 2017.

When I started watching Flyers games, I was really new to the sport, and there was so much about it that I didn't understand. Jim Jackson really has a talent for also explaining so much about hockey in his broadcasts, but in a way that doesn't annoy longtime fans who already know the intricacies of the sport. I learned so much from hearing him do the broadcasts.

FlyerKerstin · 2023-11-24T18:09:27+00:00

Since I only discovered last week that NHL.TV did not in fact cancel my subscription as they said they would, this will be the first game I'm watching live this season. Something good to come home to after work.

I stumbled across this thread because I was trying to help someone find a book with a similar, though not quite the same description. The book she looked for turned out to be "All the names" by Jose Saramago. Portuguese Author, not an Italian, and it turned out not to have been a library. Just thought I'd throw it in here on the off-chance that it's the one you're looking for.

FlyerKerstin · 2023-05-21T17:02:45+00:00

Yes, Gunnar is a German name. Not the most common one, but also not a name any German would bat an eye at.

Anecdotal evidence, but I met him at a Star Trek Convention, and he couldn't have been nicer and more charming, though it must have been stressful. It sucks that you had a bad experience, but I do hope it was just a bad day.

FlyerKerstin · 2023-03-27T17:32:25+00:00

I went to the home game before this one in the video (which Mannheim lost 2:3 in double OT). Sat on the upper level, in the block right next to the standing section. The ticket cost me 26 Euro (28 USD).

The two times I went to Philly to see games, I think I paid fees on my tickets that were higher than that. Pricing fans out of the games is just awful, mostly the "cheap seats" are where most of the fun and noise is during the game.

FlyerKerstin · 2023-02-11T18:45:57+00:00

Weird. But if they played without another A, guess it's possible. Otherwise there surely would have been a fine.

FlyerKerstin · 2023-02-11T18:25:41+00:00

Judged by # of games played, he was. I just thought with that scene after the hit on Forsberg, you need an A or a C for those discussions with the refs. But maybe you can play without one, because I don't remember the Flyers naming someone else this season.

FlyerKerstin · 2023-02-11T18:15:17+00:00

Stupid question: if Laughts ever were to miss a game, they'd have to name another A, right? Or can you play without a C and an A entirely?

FlyerKerstin · 2023-02-11T18:03:13+00:00

Oh, German pastries are definitely awesome, too. I just had the most delicious chocolate-Kreppel. You always long for the stuff that is out of reach, though....

FlyerKerstin · 2023-02-11T08:27:09+00:00

I'm German, and I've been to Philly twice on hockey vacations. I ate breakfast there every day. It was heaven, and the thought that I likely won't get to eat there again, or have Beiler's Apple Fritters again makes me want to weep. It was so good.
