Wtf no socially distanced Stevie G-esque knee slide celebrations allowed?! I really really hope this goes ahead, selfishly, because I want to watch football again. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Looking forward to watching Football, betting and trading on Betfair, again. That said, the only time I’ve watched a match that was behind closed doors was that England v Croatia game the other year and it was utterly dour. The game was bad but then I’m not sure if it was a genuinely bad game or the lack of atmosphere killed it a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well I have a few bets on the Champions League matches which I placed before COVID-19 officially struck Europe. But UEFA have still not announced when the CL games will resume, so in the meantime the bookies are holding onto my money. They won't even give me the option to cash out at this stage. 2020 has personally been a really crap year so far on a number of fronts. Having said that, I am really looking forward to the resumption of the Bundesliga. Good luck with Koln defeating Mainz this weekend, but I think the unexpected break really hasn't done Koln any favours. They were on a great streak of form, lets hope they can regain that momentum when their Bundesliga quest resumes on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchalkeUK Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 BT finally sorted out their games - the derby and Augsburg are live on Saturday in UK and all the Sunday and Monday are fully covered - at least something to watch again! Work over the weekend is quiet as well so..... Tommy's game is free to air on Sky De so will have to keep two screen on in the afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m quite sceptical about betting this weekend, all form and momentum is gone, Köln’s included, which from a selfish point of view, is a bit annoying.

I have to completely agree with you. The outcomes of the upcoming weekend matches will no doubt be harder to predict than they were prior to the enforced break. I think if anything, the break probably suited the sides that were witnessing poor form at the bottom of the table. The break will have given them time to regroup, get some rest and at least gain some confidence. So as you suggest, it may well be worth giving the forthcoming Saturday and Sunday Bundesliga games a miss on the betting front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 The Freiburg Ultras statement about the evil of pay TV is brilliant. German Football is so far ahead of the rest of the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 In terms of atmosphere all you hear when watching the Bundesliga on Tele is the same repetitive sound of a distant drum/drum sounding singing so I don’t think that will be an issue for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's that repetitive either - several different clubs have their own chants and you can quite clearly tell. I think it will be very odd not having any atmosphere in these BL games.

Again mate no idea what the atmospheres are like in the stadium so not knocking that, whenever I’ve watched a German game on Tele it sounds like the atmosphere is driven by a drum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's interesting, as the club announced on Tuesday that Pizarro has a muscular injury and will not be available for a few weeks. I wonder if they knew about the positive test result already...
