Fucking hell ... respect.
Dortmund are great. Club, team, stadium and fans. Boss.
They were giving away a free copy of Carousel with every season ticket.
Hmmmm....got to think of somewhere to take the Mrs for her 40th.
"Where do you fancy luv?"
"Paris, Rome, maybe New York?"
"Pack your bags, we're off to Dortmund."

They had a great St Pauli tshirt for sale in Ran on Bold Street. I like stuff with skulls on.
That's how they get you in. They even do them in brown.
It's like so not football but so zeitgeist. Let's all rub helmets and ask Ayre if he'll start doing a selection of tea infusions at half time.
Two teams? Celtic can fuck off!!!
Kinda unrelated but kinda not.
There was a Yank on radio 5 the other day who said man City are in high level talks to set up a team in the us second division (bit like an alternative to mls cos there's no promotion/relegation, but with cash flow & Stadium/crowd attendance they may let you in mls) who will be called Manchester City Chicago/detroit/etc & play in their colours & loan players from man City.
He claimed quite a few other teams, esp ons with us owners were looking at doing the same.
So Boston Liverpool could exist one day.
*shudders*

Even more unrelated but...
This is what I detest about American Sports, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, the lot of them. It's pathetic that you have to buy your way into the league, and that you can't earn your way there through hard work and talent. This is also what I hate about the Ice Hockey structure in the UK.
Liverpool fans were almost certainly the first to adopt the song, back in 1963.
A cover version of the popular song, from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel, was recorded that year by the popular Merseybeat band Gerry & the Pacemakers spending four weeks at number one in the UK charts. According to former Anfield legend Tommy Smith, Marsden - a Liverpool fan - played a tape recording of the song before its release to manager Bill Shankly during a coach trip for the squad that Summer.
"Shanks was in awe of what he heard. Football writers from the local newspapers were travelling with our party and, thirsty for a story of any kind between games, filed copy back to their editors to the effect that we had adopted Gerry Marsden's forthcoming single as the club song," Smith said in his autobiography.
The song's place in the affections of the fans was cemented during the record's run at the top of the charts towards the end of that year. In the 1960s the tradition at Anfield was for the top ten records of the day to be played over the public address system in ascending order with the No 1 single played last, just before kick off. Spectators on the famous Kop terrace adopted the tradition of singing along with the songs, one of the first groups of supporters to do anything other than shout chants. You'll Never Walk Alone became an instant favourite and when it dropped out of the top ten the Kop continued to sing it, Marsden told the BBC years later.
A BBC Panorama documentary filmed the Kop singing the anthem in 1964, the first recorded evidence of fans singing the song on the terraces.
The song was later adopted by Celtic and a string of other football teams across Europe and beyond, including Dutch teams Feyenoord and FC Twente, Germany's Borussia Dortmund, FC Kaiserslautern and FC St Pauli and Japan's F.C. Tokyo.

I'm pretty sure there were Dortmund fans singing it with ours when we beat Alaves in Dortmund to win the Europa League in the Treble season.
Great to see/hear.

Fixed that for you.
Oops. Yeah, thanks. 😳 😀
What I'm shuddering at is the use of contractions and mis-used lower case / upper case that made that painful to read ! I know you sent that via a mobile phone and couldn't be arsed correcting it's spelling corrections !
I note that misplaced apostrophes aren't on your banned list though. 😉
They're taunting Sahin for being shit here.
I was typing on my phone, in the last paragraph the baby woke up.
I usually go back & correct the post before sending, but going & getting the screaming baby was more important than even the sanctity of the English language at that point in time!
