Let's hope we've got all our summer dealings done and they are on show.

Nice to finally get a home game sorted.

I'd imagine they'll have a few fans over as well.

 

[Alkhen]

Lovely stuff, little bits like having a marquee summer friendly makes it feel like we are a proper club again.

Can't wait

 

[mark82]

Might make a trip down for this one.

Stefan Kuntz I believe

Werder Bremen have had done beautiful kits down the years

 

[Diogenes]

Pressure on if Robins doesn't get a result here

 

[Otis]

Stefan Kuntz I believe

If he's got a brother, it might be a couple of Kuntz.

That was like watching a team from another planet light years ahead of us back then.

The 4th goal was offside, though....

Plus we hit the post. I'll be at that friendly as I'll be in the UK at that time.

Nor bid Robert Jarni, pissed off too Real Madrid.

It was incredible to watch, they went up four gears after half time. Think it was Joao Pinto (?) that was at the heart of everything. Amazing team.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Joao Pinto was literally walking past our defenders at one point.

So demoralising we got stuffed at home by Forest first game - who were even worse than is that season.

The Wheatsheaf welcome will be fun

And the extended family a bunch of Kuntz.

Just browsed the Werder forum (via google translate) to see if they had any opinions on the friendly. Didn't find much, but this passage could've been lifted straight from SBT (minus the stilted translation).

There were 10 German bombers in the air….

That’s disgraceful. The only time that’s acceptable is on the international scene.

We will sing it a couple of times in Germany in June for you.

But it’s ok for Celtic to sing what they want.

For sure I hope we sing it because it’s funny.

Was on a bus in the US got talking to this guy ‘ I’m German American’ he says, ‘have ever been to Germany?’ I said no but my dad used to go frequently in the 40’s but it was always at night, and he always came straight back.He didn’t get at all.
