Can I play?
Ironic that Uwe Rösler managed Fortuna Düsseldorf today at a ground where I’ve seen KFC Uerdingen play. I also saw Uwe Rösler play for City. I’ve also seen City play Liverpool. When I watched Uwe for City, Uerdingen at Düsseldorf and City v Liverpool, there was no way of knowing that Uwe would manage Düsseldorf v Paderborn in an empty stadium.
This is really good. Did I do well?[/QUOT
Yes. Can l play too?
It is ironic that my mum and dad lived in Germany and my dad and his mates used to watch Borussia MG in the 80s. They had cardboard cut outs yesterday but they had real people back in the day. They stood at the front where the manager Jupp Heynckes used to make his way to the bench and a lad from Barnsley used to shout every 'Hey Jupp' or was it 'ay oop' which sounds the same. He must have thought all Brits were daft.
Anyway when mum and dad used to go to England they often got the same ferries as Liverpool fans in Europe. No matter how they tried to avoid them they were there travelling early or late. Running amok in the car parks waiting to board, trouble in the bars, crowding the duty free shops to nick stuff and running up and down stairs like lunatics.
Apparently the crew were resigned to all this and Heysel came as no surprise.
I bet most people would rather have Borussia MG's cardboard cut outs in some ironic way.
