  1. That game's been around for years. I used to play that in GCSE IT lessons about 10 years ago!

    It is about Baggio after all.. ;)

    Haha, so you weren't the only ones pissing lesson away with this. I rediscovered it a few days ago. Oldie but goldie...

  2. Istanbul is glorious in the sunshine.....at the moment I can see the blue mosque over the shimmering Bosphorous. With a good book and beer in hand. Have to love life sometimes...

  3. Just come across this thread. I did a lot of work on German football for my diss and imparticular the old communist East German football. There are some very interesting stories out there. FC St Pauli are the cult team to support if your a bit of a lefty. As are Union Berlin who are also a very interesting team. They were in the old East and was a popular breeding ground for anti-state propaganda which led to STASI officials to be planted in the crowd to pick out dissidents. Now, in Germany the former old East teams such LOK Leipzig and Dynamo Berlin/Dresden are now a breeding ground for far-right hooliganism and are pretty much to be avoided (unless thats your thing...) There was a huge betting/bung scandal in the West in the 70's in which many of the big teams lost credibility. Schalke were one the main teams with their reputation tarnished.

    Anyway, there is a lot of interesting and often banal history in German football...from breaking up a team overnight because they won too much to the recent upsurge in the quality and stadia in Germany.

    I follow German football almost religiously (well as much as English football...) I always look out for the results of: 1860 Munich, Hertha/Union Berlin, Hoffenheim and Stuttgart because of Der Hammer....

    Read this...

  4. The bits that get me are the small sequences in it.

    Guarnere with his leg blown to smithereens and sobbing 'I gotta get up, I gotta get up.' Brilliant acting.

    Liebgott and his speech to the camp victims gets a lump started right in the throat.

    The cast/casting is brilliant in this.

  5. Maybe its because im a lower league team (Union Berlin) I signed a quality LB 72 ovr and then Jan came and he just disappeared. Rolled it on a week and just discovered he went for 3.8 mill to some Brazlian team....also had a striker that lasted 2 games...he just disappeared. Yes i have turned off asst manager.
