3.Liga & Below - 2020/21

[Faithcore]

Tomorrow is the big clash everyone has been waiting for.

@Rucksackfranzose vs @Faithcore

Duisburg vs Saarbrücken.

I wonder why @Stan did not include this match in the "First goal" competition.

I already arranged a day off tomorrow so I can enjoy this absolute classic without being disturbed.

Any chance this will be televised, thus I can stream it (il)legally?

It is only shown on Magenta TV. So unfortunately I'm not sure if there will be streams available then.

As I am paying for Magenta TV and they show every match in Liga 3 I never had to find another stream.

What have I done wrong?

Good luck @Faithcore,! Hopefully it won't be enough to defeat us.

Your chances are pretty decent I'd say.

I guess @Faithcore is as glued to the TV watching MagentaTV as I am.

Zauberfußball vom MSV und Saarbrücken geht völlig aus dem Nichts in Führung

We have been really, really bad so far.  Don't understand the lineup as well. Hope this gets better in the second half...

[Faithcore]

Thanks DFB for sending us such a joke of a referee once again. Ridiculous....

[Rucksackfranzose]

Harsh red card it has to be said.

I think even a yellow card would've been harsh. A red card for that is just.... I have no words for that. 

[Faithcore]

Congrats @Rucksackfranzose.

Obviously Saarbrücken was the better team for most of the match but after all the referee decided the match, that's just what it is. Totally ridiculous decisions in the end.

Completely pissed.

[Rucksackfranzose]

To be fair, Duisburg had the momentum on their side when the ref interfered and red carded one of their players for a foul that didn't deserve a suspension. Baring in mind Sverko was very lucky to score our second goal a draw would have been the fairer result, although I felt FCS were the better team for at least two third parts of the match. Can see, why @Faithcore is annoyed.

See, I don't want to be a sore loser and I totally agree that you were the better team.

Nevertheless we managed to equalize and then the referee started to live up to his reputation and that is just really, really annoying.

And although the red card was clearly his biggest mistake I feel that was only the start of some questionable decisions in the last minutes of the match.

Anyway. Congrats again. I believe that you will continue to play a good season.

@Faithcore What are your thoughts of your new manager Gino Lettieri?

Ich muss gerade mal auf Deutsch schreiben, weil ich einfach so sauer bin.

Das ist ein Armutszeugnis sondergleichen. Ich halte überhaupt nichts von Lettieri und er wurde damals in Liga 2 schon viel zu spät entlassen.

Taktisch eine Katastrophe, in der Menschenführung eine Katastrophe und Spieler entwickeln kann er auch nicht. Und das bei einem Verein, der sich selbst mittlerweile als Ausbildungsverein sieht und junge Spieler entwickeln möchte.

Ich versteh das einfach nicht und für mich ist auch unser Manager (Ivo Grlic) damit nun endgültig unten durch. Die Fanszene in Duisburg eskaliert gerade auch ziemlich. Ich will mir gar nicht ausmalen, was jetzt los wäre, wenn gerade die Spiele normal mit Fans stattfinden würden. Für mich ist  die Meldung vorhin wirklich ein Schlag in die Magengrube gewesen und ich hab wirklich Angst, dass wir uns damit nun endgültig aus dem Profifußball verabschieden werden.

Saarbrucken up 2-0 early on Viktoria Koln, which would further their lead on top of the table.

Nice win today @Rucksackfranzose

Yep, didn't expect us to settle in into 3. Liga as good as we did so far.

[Rucksackfranzose]

Good news for a change: Wattenscheid 09 finished their insolvency proceedings and are now rid of their debts, what means they can continue to play in Oberliga Westfalen, which can be seen as a success since their existence as a club was in serious danger, when they iniatiated said proceedings. Would have been a shame, when a club with their history ( former Buli members) had folded.

@Rucksackfranzose looking forward to the first match against Kaiserslautern in 23 (I think) years? How big is the rivalry these days?

I'm torn, obviously that's a big match, on the other hand I'd be much more excited if there would be attendance (mine to be more precise ) allowed. Still it's the match many fans of FCS including  myself were longing for 23 years.

As for the rivalry can only speak for my own lot, this is a rivalry to compared to which only the Bremen/Hamburg or the Dortmund/Schalke ones can keep the pace. Kaiserslautern fans might look differently at this though, because we were shite the last 30 years, though. There's always the general Saarland/Palatinate rivalry to spice it up for both sides regardless of FCS lack of recent success, though.

Yeah, it's a shame it has to be played behind closed doors... Maybe the away match in April will be an option, though. Either way, good luck tomorrow.
