Spieltag 3.

8/24/2012

0 Comments

 
On Spieltag 3. Hertha face SSV Jahn Regensburg. Regensburg played FC Bayern tonight in the DFB Pokal and ended up loosing 4:0.

No grounds for confidence for Hertha however. We still only have our 3rd choice keeper who played a shocker on the last game and our attacking . . .

Regensburg were weak tonight we can only hope that Hertha can get there act together over the next four days. We really need to start getting points and gain a bit of confidence.

Spieltag 3. Pt.2

Watched tonight's game on the net and the old lady got off to a nervous start. Missed catches by the keeper but better blocks by the defence.
Hubnik goes off with what looked like concussion and coincidently Herthas fortunes appear to change.
Two quick goals, a cracker from Allagui (41) and a second from Wagner (43) left Hertha 2:0 up . . . . It's been a long time!
Regensburg did come back to score one in the second half from Sembolo (57) but Hertha came away with three points that were richly deserved.

May all Spieltagen be like this - Ha Ho He Hertha BSC

The first round of the DFB-Pokal

Well, what a nightmare weekend for any Hertha fan. Loosing 2:1 to the worms was bad enough but how we lost . . . And to a fourth division team???
Sprint picked up a yellow card and gave away a penalty after less that three minutes.
The same third choice keeper let in the loosing goal with a howler of a non- save late in the second half.
Come back Thomas Kraft - we need you!!

On a positive note Chelsea won their first EPL match today against Wigan with a 2:0 win. Will watch it on MOTD later - I need to be cheered up!

I wasn't able to see the match against Frankfurt yesterday and, from the sound of it, perhaps that was just as well.
I'm not sure I want to look on the Net to find it to be honest - another red card and down to our third choice keeper!
Why does the "Old Lady" make it so hard to support her?

Second match of the season

I don't know where the last week has gone - time flies when you're having fun I guess!
After the Paderborn match we've been on holiday and we've sent time going and seeing things.
We went to Colditz and Leipzig on a day trip as well as a couple of days in Poland. It's really not too far from Berlin. Breslau / Wroclaw was only three hours or so by car.
I can't watch the Hertha away match this week as we are on the road on Sunday but I might be able to catch the highlights somewhere. A bit of a downer but it can't be helped. I hope we win this time! Ha Ho He

First game of the season.

The first game of the season was played tonight against Paderborn in the Olympiastadion.  

Although the crowd was greatly reduced there was still a great atmosphere in the eastern end of the stadium anyway.  23,404 attended the match but only a handful of away supporters.

Hertha started in quite a positive way and strung together some nice passes in the first half.  Sadly they lacked finishing and the old defensive weaknesses resulted in Deniz Yimaz scoring for Paderborn.  My heart sank.

The second half brought a timid Hertha lacking in confidence but after having just been brought on as a sub - Ronny scored on the 64th minute!

It looked like it was going to end in a draw when a highly suspect penalty was awarded against Hubnik and was put away by Alban Meha on the 86th minute.  Things were not looking good.  .  . . 

Then Sami Allagui scored a vital goal on the 88th minute - the crowd (including me) went bonkers!!

Hey it could have been better but, it could have been worse! Onwards and upwards Ha Ho He

The start of the new season

The Bundesliga 2. season starts on Friday and we're planning to go to the Paderborn match in the Olympiastadion.  I hope our new season tickets are sitting on the doormat when we arrive - I don't want to spend Friday chasing around Berlin because they are locked away in a depot somewhere!

Fingers crossed . . . .  

Yay, they were there!!   . . . dead pleased with the view . . . .

Watching Handball

I have never watched a game of handball before although there is a strong team in Berlin (Die Füchse Berlin).  We went to see the afternoon session oat the Copperbox in the Olympic Park on Saturday the 28th of July.  

We were able to see Croatia v Brazil and Denmark v Sweden.  A little clip is shown below where Sweden score although they go on to loose 18-21.  It is a great, action packed sport - end to end stuff!

I can see us going to watch the Füchse play at some point when we're in Berlin and support our local guys!
