What sports teams do you support?

[Arneb]

Back to sports, Herha caught the 0 -1 shortly before half time against Mainz. Will Auntie never learn?

[Arneb]

Hertha BSC 0 - 2 FSV Mainz 05

Once again, Hertha helps a team in crisis along to gain some self-confidence. You're welcome.
You know, sometimes I really wish I didn't have emptional ties to this bunch of Losers. Gurkentruppe!

Played 127, won 49, Drawn 28, lost 50

Ross County 1 - 1 Hearts

We were all over them, and had a goal disallowed for mysterious reasons.

Played 128, won 49, Drawn 29, lost 50

[Arneb]

Fortuna Düsseldorf 1 - 1 SpVgg Greuther Fürth

We were up for 80 min or so. Not bad for the 16th-placed team away to the team at the top.

Now if Rangers scramnble to a win, we'll at least have a nice balance again:

[Heid the Ba]

I think we should, but who knows.

[Heid the Ba]

Hamilton 3 -5 Rangers. Good to score five, bad to concede three.

Played 130, won 50, drawn 30, lost 50.

[Arneb]

Nice and balanced, that. Maybe if we can keep it in this balanced config, our Schland boys can turn the balance black at the World Cup.

[Arneb]

Á propos nice and balanced, Germany and Canada shared an Olympic gold medal today: After four runs lasting around 1 min 30 s each, with speeds of up to 80 mph, the German and Canadian 2-man bobsleds finished with EXACTLY the sama aggregate winning times. Congratulations, boys, that was one piece of finetuning work.

[Arneb]

I’m sure it was a very efficient performance......

ETA - ah, Kathatrina Witt. Great to see her. She was brilliant, and extremely foxy to my early teen eyes.

Well, she can still be quite impressive:

F. A. Z. did a feature on her on Sunday, and asked in which profession she now works. She answered that she it's basically being Katharina Witt for a living. She is doing quite well.

[Heid the Ba]

Katharina Witt was a judge on our skating reality show a few years back, she was knowledgeable, witty and charming. So was binned for some shouty no name.

[g-one]

I remember her being responsible for the 'Katarina rule'.

[Arneb]

Oh, Einigkeit und Recht und Kanada:

Watch on youtube.com

[Arneb]

Germany one up in the fucking Olympic hockey semifinal after the first 20. Against Canada.

That can't be right.

[Heid the Ba]

You’ll only upset them . . .

[Heid the Ba]

Oh my giddy aunt, what a finish!

[Arneb]

A patient I was discharging watched the game into the frantic final minutes, when I came in and switched off the telly to talk shop. When we met again ten min later for discharge papers, she danced and roared FEE-NAAH-LUH, oh-oh. FEEENAAHLUH, oh-oh-oh-oh, (to the tune of Volare Cantare).

Apparently, our Canadian friends acted quite out of character during the final minutes, doing things like playing foul and body checking their German opposition. I am sorry to say I am really concerned, concerned I tell you.

For this special occasion, I'll include the match as a victory and a defeat in our count.
Played 132, won 51, drawn 30, lost 51.

Poor sportsmanship by both our mens & womens hockey teams, horrible showing by mens & womens curling teams.
Some are boasting of record medal haul but it's mostly for fringe events. I'm not a bit impressed.
What a debacle.
Congrats to the USA womens and German mens hockey teams, well done!

Another rare treat:
SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2 - 1 Eintracht Braunschweig

Played 133, won 52, drawn 30, lost 51.

Balance will be restored any minute, Hertha just kicked off against Bayern, in Munich.

[Arneb]

Goalless after 72 min. One of those moments where you dare hope but shouldn't.

[Arneb]

87 min. ...

[Arneb]

Extra time starts, 0 - 0

[Arneb]

Hah! I'd have preferred them to go under today and get three points against Mainz last week, but it's good for morale.

FC Bayern München 0 - 0 Hertha BSC

Played 134, won 52, drawn 31, lost 51.

Arneb, your compatriots are very considerate: http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new ... picks=true

I'll be cheering for Germany over Russia for the gold on Sunday!

[Lianachan]

Jesus H Bastarding Fuck.

St Johnstone 2 - 0 Useless Ross County

Played 135, won 52, drawn 31, lost 52.
