Been quite a watchable first half. 2-1 Stuttgart with a lucky deflection.

I saw a few punters stoating about the Horse Shoe Bar a few weeks ago, who were wearing Union Berlin t-shirts. Are they another far left outfit who have an affinity with our local fascists of Separate Entity FC?
If we played like we did against Celtic in the 2 games at Ibrox I'd fancy us to beat them over two legs.

Even if we in actual fact wouldn’t get near them, how good does it feel actually discussing whether or not we’d beat big bundesliga clubs?
They're known as having left wing leanings but they don't get in with st pauli I don't think. Dunno why. Never heard of any love in with the scum but no doubt if they go up timmy will latch onto them like the bad smell they are.

Always had a soft spot for Stuttgart. Couple of great CL trips there, fans were spot on, city was superb, beer was magnificent (well it is Germany I suppose) and their chairman’s comments at the dinner hosted the evening before the CL game made sure of my fondness for them

I thought their fans were arseholes at Ibrox in 2009.
Did the chairman say something about being a prod?

Did a couple of our games as well. Pretty sure he did our game v Shelbourne with a spewing (at our comeback) Billy McNeill. Was at the game but recorded it and recall the commentary
did another couple around then and seemed very favourable towards us

Remarked on the similarities between both clubs in that they shared a Protestant heritage
Their fans in Stuttgart were ace as were the bar staff at the Miami Beach bar attached to the stadium
loveleh , simply loveleh
Was there for the 3-2 game in 07 and it's probably my favourite Rangers trip.Remarked on the similarities between both clubs in that they shared a Protestant heritage

Solid Rock Cafe was tremendous.

Was absolutely baltic mind you ! Remember the planes getting de-iced one at a time prior to take off coming home after the game.

PSG shootout.
Referred to us as ‘Glasgow Rangers’ quite a few times as well for the worldwide market. Trevor Steven as co comm.
He seems a real football man. Very knowledgable.

They did, in 2013. And beat them 3-0 ...

AFAIK, no real links to the Scum though, nor St. Pauli. hearty dislike untowards Herthat Berlin and former East German rivals BFC Dynamo.
They were really poor.

Really hope Union go up. Went to a game a few months ago. Brilliant Atmosphere,. Pretty much all standing. Portakabin toilets with a massive.queue due to being able to stand on the terraces with a beer or 4
Was that the 1-1 game in August?
Good away point for Arminia if I remember correctly

Pops up a lot this about Union and St Pauli

Lot of different leanings in the Union fanbase, some left, some right, some hipster - all kinds really. Find the media obsession with them a bit cringeworthy personally, plenty of better places to watch Football in Germany but in a tourist City plenty of people are bound to visit and for many it will be their first experience of Football in Germany so many seem pretty amazed by it.

Bad timing when we were their first time , among the worst ground setups with that ridiculous temporary bridge they had installed for away fans. A complete joke.
I went the second time , passed on the third, once was really enough , not the greatest city to visit Is Stuttgart bar the Mercedes Benz & Porsche museums

I love Tim Caple. Cracking commentary voice, loves the game and reminds me of some really great memories on Eurosport. Dave Farrar is another Eurosport old boy and he is still kicking around.
