Myself and @Kbhblue attended the game last night, 11,000 fans in, 25% capacity. This was my first game since Braga away so 14 months of anticipation.
Some observations:
My first 'VAR interrupting the flow of the game' experience in a ground was not impressive at all. There was a phase of play, a clumsy but pretty innocuous tackle made in the box, play moves on and after a passage that lasted about 30/40 seconds, the referee stopped the game, consulted his TV and blew for a PK.
I know I will sound very Rangers da here, but it felt fake and imposed and just didn't sit right. I guess we will all have to get used to it, eventually in Scotland, but that, added to the wait for all the, perfectly legitimate, goals to be confirmed and a goal scored that was given offside and confirmed by VAR that looked marginally on on the big screens only served to add to the McDonaldsisation of the experience.
It is another talking point but... imho, as a live fan experience it is crap, for TV it will be fine, so it aint going anywhere.
FCK look good, I hope they draw the filth in the CL Q2 or Q3 and pump them, again.
The FCM players were drenched in beer and plastic cups when they celebrated, a clear example of anti-Danish racism I felt.
Moneyball Midtjylland still have the two boys up front Sisto and Kaba, who look physically strong, skillful and still worth a look.
FCK have discos light that work a treat, I wonder if they got them knocked off from a tubby Japanese Del Boy type?
Lastly, beer and hot dogs in the ground, pubs at the corners of the ground, a sing-song and, joy of joys, free beer (the beer tents couldn't sell after 10pm so gave the remains of their kegs away on a first come/first served basis, we got 5 pints!) burds at the football and 6 goals.... what a night.
