local simpleton

Vielleicht spielt ja Hinti gegen uns wieder LV, glaub dass war AH Trainergott damals, der die Idee in Malmö hatte

Könnte aber ein ziemlich blutleerer Kick werden.

Wann merkt man, dass man committed ist?
Wenn einem Lufthansa eine Mail mit dem Betreff "Finden Sie den perfekten Hang" schickt, aber man "Finden Sie den perfekten Hwang" liest und sich wundert, ob Lufthansa auch Insider Infos hat. 

Der Oku muss jetzt endlich die Massen mobilisieren 

Ich bin extrem stolz auf die Mannschaft! Unglaubliche Leistung in der Champions League und freu mich auf die Europa League. Nur sollte man nicht wieder davon anfangen, dass man die gewinnen kann. 
Einfach von Spiel zu Spiel denken. 

die US-Fach-Kommentatoren, u.a. ex-US-Team-keeper Tim Howard: an beiden Toren schuldlos, einige top Aktionen, mit denen er RBS im Spiel gehalten hat.
Ich hab's jetzt noch nicht genau in der Wiederholung gesehen, aber beim 2. war doch ein verunglueckter Rueckpass per Kopf von Onguene, dem musste er entgegen.
Ich fand's heute grossteils eine sehr gute Leistung, tw. absolut top. Absoluter Schwachsinn, wenn man bei einer Niederlage gegen den CL-Sieger davon spricht, man waere an sich selbst gescheitert. Beide Seiten hatten gute Chancen, auf beiden Seiten hat man beim Abschluss ev. auch ein bisschen die Nerven gesehen. 
Das war ein k.o.-Spiel gegen den CL-Sieger! Leider hat man halt auch unsere Grenzen gesehen, aber man hat auch gesehen, wie weit wir schon sind. Und wie hier der Kommentator auch gemeint hat, haette Alisson den Titelverteidiger nicht auch mit grossartigen Paraden im Rennen gehalten, wer weiss wie's verlaufen waere. 

Wahnsinn, wir spielen eine super Partie bis zu den zwei Toren und es beginnt dennoch wieder die Selbstzerfleischung hier herinnen.

24:30 BIST DU DEPPAT wie peinlich und dumm war die Frage wieder? Unfassbar und natürlich wieder einer von unseren Journalisten Klopp hat ihn dann eh Gott sei Dank verbal in Oasch treten 

Die Ballmitnahme von Oku vorm Tor war ja auch komplett irre  

und verlinken im selben Artikel einen Video-Ausschnitt des Interviews, der genau nix mit der Aussage zu tun hat, dass ihm Marsch einen Wechsel zu Leipzig "nahelegen" würde 
Hier die zitierte Aussage ...
 
mit dem wichtigen O-Ton von Jesse "so in theorie it's a great fit for Leipzig", und somit passt die Aussage leider überhaupt nicht zu der reisserischen Headline, dass Jesse Erling einen Wechsel zu Leipzig nahelegen würde. "Parade Fake News Journalismus anno 2019".

ich hab dir schon einen link geschickt

Bei 99% der Vereinen brechen die Fans eigentlich in "Jubelstürmen" aus, wenn der 1er Tormann wieder fit ist

Zusammenfassung mit engl. Kommentar
Sind zwar nur die Tore, hört sich trotzdem ziemlich cool an ... 

As a Genk fan - completely outclassed by Salzburg over 2 games. Wasn't even close. Very impressive, much more impressive than either Napoli or Liverpool - especially knowing that Salzburg plays in a relatively "weak" competition. How your team loses points in the Austrian league baffles me. How you got only 1 point out of 6 versus Napoli is also a mystery - Napoli was nothing compared to Salzburg when we played them. 
For those who traveled to Genk - hope you had a great time. 

Onguene sollte damit endgültig den Vorzug gegenüber Pongi und Ramalho haben. Heute hat er nichts zugelassen

Ich find viel schlimmer, dass sich ein Sportdirektor zu Behauptungen, die sich irgendwelche Schreiberlinge aus der Nase gezogen haben, äussern und quasi rechtfertigen müssen. Die Formulierung "... fühlt sich bemüssigt" spricht aus meiner Sicht ohnehin Bände über das Niveau in der Medienwelt. 

War der Schaub in der Schwalben-Lehre bei Steffi Hofmann?

Also mir ist da Onguéné lieber als Berisha, Wolf & Co.
Letztere sind phantasielose Proleten mit zu viel Geld.
Jérôme ist camp. Den würde man auf der Met Gala feiern!

Thank you all for the replies. Naples seems a little less dangerous than I expected, great! The deplorable state of San Paolo is confirmed though - I especially liked the detailed stadium adventures of @Lurker and his son ;-)
As for your trip to Genk, you shouldn't expect any security concerns. There's a tiny fraction of Genk fans (maybe 100 people) who may get into fights from time to time, but to my knowledge this is always with other groups looking for fights, never "normal" fans. There is some animosity towards Red Bull and how your club exemplifies modern football, but nothing that would lead to confrontation.
I'm born and raised in Genk, but I'll be honest, it's a small and sleepy town. If you want to do some bar hopping with good beer & good atmosphere, I would advise staying in Hasselt or Maastricht. I'll paste the full fan guide below, but your biggest challenge will be getting to and from the stadium. Public transportation is extremely limited, so most visitors arrange taxis. Or your Supporter Liaison Officer might arrange buses to take you from & to Genk train station.   Our stadium is fairly compact, but at least it's sold out and there'll be a good atmosphere - better than in Napoli by the sound of it. Salzburg completely annihilated Genk in the first game, but there's always hope ;-)
 
Welcome to Genk – Fan Guide for Visiting Fans

A big welcome from the Genk fans to all of you visiting our club. Travelling to support your team is one of the joys of European football. Over the years, fans from Madrid, Stuttgart, Basel, Cork, Lille, Athens, London & Rome have all visited Genk. The fans at www.blauwwit.be have decided to create this fan guide to make a visit to Genk as enjoyable as possible.

Getting to Genk
If you need to fly to reach Genk, you can choose between different airports. Maastricht airport (MST), Liège airport (LGG) and Eindhoven airport (EIN) are closest, but typically have limited flight options. You’ll probably have more options flying to Brussels (BRU) or Brussels-South (CRL), but don’t forget about Dusseldorf (DUS) or Dusseldorf-Weeze (NRN). Especially NRN and CRL have decent low-cost options – if you can fly to either of those it’s likely to be the cheapest option. On the other hand, BRU has the easiest public transport connection as you can just hop on a train to get closer to Genk (train tickets at www.belgianrail.be, when traveling by group please consider a Go-Pass or Rail-Pass). Trains from all other airports listed above are likely to be more complicated & expensive compared to BRU.

Brussels is also a hub for international high-speed rail, such as the Thalys and Eurostar. Fans coming from France or England might consider that option. For fans traveling in from Germany or further East, the German ICE-network runs into Belgium as well, with Brussels and Liège as possible stops. Genk has a train station, as does Hasselt.
Reaching Genk by car is very easy: Genk is right next to the E314 highway, which connects to Brussels in the west or Aachen in Germany in the east (both Brussels and Aachen are 45-55 min away). Genk has two exits on the E314 (Exits 31 & 32) and both exits are fairly close to the stadium. Visiting fans are encouraged to use Exit 31 and follow the stadium signage.

Staying in Genk
Genk itself has 65.000 inhabitants, but is also a city spread over multiple villages or ‘cités’, an urban spread that goes back to the mining history of the city. This means that the actual city center of Genk is slightly less developed compared to what you would expect from a city this size. Unfortunately, for visiting fans, this means somewhat limited options when it comes to hotels and bars. Bars of note in Genk are Bierpunt (large selection of Belgian beers), Wonderbar, Rootsbar, De Waerd, Belgiek, Camargue & Bar Bistro Boulevard. For larger groups Het Stadscafé would be recommended, they have a sizeable indoor area as well as a large outdoor seating area, right in the middle of the city centre (ie, good meeting point).

There are 5 hotels in the city centre of Genk:
- M-Hotel (****)
- Green Hotel (***)
- Hotel Ecu (***)
- Carbon Hotel (****)
- Hotel 't Hert (**)

Despite a limited bar & hotel offering, the food options in Genk are pretty good – because of the mining history of Genk there are Belgian, Greek, Italian & Turkish restaurants aplenty. Especially the Italian cuisine in Genk is top notch. Great Italian restaurants in the city centre include La Botte, Dante, La Dolce Vita, Peppe's and Pastabar G&G. Great Greek restaurants are Olympia, Orestis, El Greco (all three of them on the Hoevenzavellaan), Pyrgos, Corfu and O Geros. Great Belgian restaurants are Het Gerechtje, Peper en Zout, Grand Café Relaxy, The Thrill and Kristalijn.

Staying in Hasselt
An alternative to Genk is staying at larger cities such as Brussels or Maastricht, but don’t discount Hasselt. Even though the size of Hasselt is similar to Genk, the city center is much more developed - all within walking distance. Hasselt has a larger offer of hotels for example, with popular choices in the city centre being:
- Holiday Inn Express (***)
- Holiday Inn (****)
- Yup Hotel (**)
- Hassotel (***)
- Radisson Blu Hotel (****)

Furthermore, Hasselt also has a brand new hostel (Hostel H) for the budget traveler, located right next to the train station.
Hasselt also has a much more vibrant nightlife. From one of Belgium’s best know clubs (Versuz) to beer pubs such as De Egel or Hemelrijck, Hasselt has a lot to offer for one or more party nights. For larger groups of fans, meeting and gathering at the Dusart Square is advised. There are a couple of pubs next to eachother (Koestal, Export & Vangogh) with a combined outdoor seating area that can take hundreds of fans. You'll have Belgian beer, it's easy to meet up and great for singing or having a party.
Hasselt also has about 50 good restaurants & snack bars to choose from – covering cuisines around the world. For larger groups, the following restaurants are recommended: The Century, Goei Goesting, Nostalgia, the Hassotel restaurant & Buon Eatalia.

Getting to the stadium
One of the biggest challenges you’ll face as a visiting fan is actually getting to the Genk stadium (address: Stadionplein, Genk). There is almost no public transportation to speak of to and from the stadium, and walking from Genk city centre will take you over an hour. The club has addressed this by installing 5 bus lines to the stadium during almost all games (€3 bus ticket), but these lines comprise of just one bus. For example, for a 21h game, there will be one bus passing the Dusart Square in Hasselt at 19h30 you can grab. It will leave at the stadium again at 23h30, dropping you off at the same Dusart Square at midnight. More information on these bus lines can be found here http://www.krcgenk.be/nl/faq/1/bereikbaarheid (in Dutch).

Almost all Genk fans have organized their transport privately, either by car-pooling or by hiring bus coaches. Some visiting fans (eg those from Cork) have been known to hire a local bus coach themselves, to pick them up in Hasselt and return them after the game (cost per person is believed to be €15).
Some local bus coach companies:
• Jacobs Transport
• De Zigeuner Transport
• Kroon Reizen
• Heidebloem Autocars

For smaller groups, pre-arranging a taxi is strongly advised. The below companies typically also have minivans for groups up to 8 people. There is no Uber coverage in Genk, so please work with a local taxi company such as:
• Taxi V-cab
• Taxi Peters
• Taxi Midden-Limburg
• Axi Taxi
• Taxi HTM
• HGT Taxi

Beware, there are almost no pubs (or even buildings) around the stadium (De Kring, a pub, is in the vicinty of the stadium and the only notable exception to this), the Genk stadium is in a fairly remote location. Plan to be in the stadium for the game, but apart from the Goalmine museum and the club shop there is no reason to plan for any extra time in or around the grounds.

When larger groups of fans have visited Genk in the past (eg Stuttgart, Basel & Rapid Vienna), local law enforcement has decided to offer bus transportation from a central location to the stadium & back - for example from and to the Genk train station. It is unclear which rules apply to have this sort of free, organized bus transport kick in - it will be up to your club & fan federation to apply for this treatment.

At the stadium
The Genk stadium (which is currently called the Luminus Arena under a sponsor agreement) officially holds 23.718 people. Maximum capacity for European games is slightly lower because the terraces behind the south goal are converted to a seating section. The stadium dates back to the former André Dumontstadion but has been completely rebuilt in different phases between 1999 and 2007. By Belgian standards, it is one of the nicest stadiums in the country.
The away section is behind the north goal and (for small amounts of traveling fans) only comprises Section AA, an all-seating area with a capacity of around 450 seats. For larger groups, the similarly sized Section A (right underneath Section AA) will also be made available. For very large groups, the away section can be expanded to also contain Corner Club 3&4, for a total away capacity of just under 1.500 seats. The size of the away section will depend on club negotiations. Ticket prices for this away section vary between €20 and €50 - KRC Genk has a policy of asking exactly the same amount to visitors as the prices Genk fans have to pay for their away game. Typically tickets for the away section can NOT be bought at the stadium but are sold exclusively through the visiting club.

A few words about mixing with the home fans. Typically, the Genk fans are friendly and will tolerate visiting fans in and around the stadium - especially when everyone behaves respectfully. Sadly, the tradition of 'mixing fans' is slowly disappearing in Belgium (most games in Belgium require police-escorted group travel and ban individual travel). In many cases travelling European fans will have some freedom on whether they want to mix with the home fans or not before or after the game, but local law enforcement will always default to fan separation. For example, if your fan federation is offered free bus travel to and from the stadium, these buses will typically drive into a totally secluded parking area behind the away section and you will be required to stay in this separate section before, during & after the game.

As of August 2016, the Genk stadium is officially smoke-free, although this is hardly enforced. The beer served at the stadium is typically the excellent Cristal beer (€2,20 for 30cl). In the stadium, free WiFi is available.

What to do in Genk/Hasselt
Obviously you’re coming over for a game of football and between the drinking, partying, cheering & (some) sleeping you might not have any ‘spare time’. If you do book additional days on your trip, the Belgian cities of Bruges, Antwerp, Brussels & Ghent are very popular choices, but they are also hours away. Instead, why not try something local?
For example C-Mine in Genk is a converted coalmine which acts as a culture & tourism hub for Genk. From exhibitions to guided tours and a real ‘C-Mine Expedition’, one can easily spend half a day here. C-Mine is about 4 kilometres from the stadium. The Genk stadium itself also has one specific and popular museum called Goalmine, showing the history of the club.
Hasselt itself is popular for shopping (from fashion to food) but when you’re with a bunch of blokes there might be one specific museum of interest, the Jenever Museum. Jenever is a juniper-based grain spirit and very typical for Hasselt. This museum will give you an overview of jenever distilling across centuries, and a chance to try out some different flavours. Apart from jenever, Hasselt is also known for fashion, and therefore the Hasselt Fashion Museum might also be worth a visit.
Between Hasselt and Genk, one can also find Bokrijk, Belgium's biggest open air museum (open from April to October). Bokrijk offers a unique view into life in the 18th & 19th century - and is one of the most visited attractions in Belgium.

Well, that is quite a long one...  Actually one of the Hungarian football channel ("Trollfoci") was invited to the game against Rapid and after the game they went to have dinner with Domi alongside his father and manager. Mostly it is just casual talk so gonna try to pick out the interesting ones. 
At one point he is asked whether he is critical of himself. His answer: "Yes, I am. I'm fully aware what I am capable of, so I know exactly when my performance was not on point. Personally I admit that I've been in better form in my career, but I think everyone has a period like that. The only solution is that you are working hard to get back to that level again."
If you look back on your career in 20 years time what would be that level which you are proud of? "I am already proud that I can play in this team in the CL, but of course I am prefectionist, so at one point I would like to play at one of the biggest teams from the top 5 leagues."
Top 4 players who you would love to play with? "Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappé. Kylian could run for the in-depth passes given by me." (everyone laughes on that one).
His manager is asked about Domi's future and when he could make the change to a top clup. His answer: "The target (getting to a top clup) is clear for us, but when he can get there is not important right now. It depends on a lot of things, mostly on his performances on international top level. All he needs to do now is to continue growing and improving and Salzburg gives him this opportunity."
I think that's it. At one point in the video (28:15) Haaland also makes his appearance.

Ja genau so ist es. In Marseille, wir waren eine Gruppe von 8 Salzburgern mit Trikot, sind auch 10 vermummte Marseille Fans, vor dem Spiel auf uns, provozierend, zugegangen. Bin dann auf sie zu und hab ihnen erklärt, dass wir keine Ultras haben und sie somit auch niemanden zum Schlägern bei uns finden werden. Daraufhin haben sie ihre Sturmhauben abgenommen und wir haben gemeinsam ein Bier getrunken. 

Geiles Fußball Wochenende 
Red Bull Salzburg gewonnen, Bayern verloren, Rapid verloren

Wer war der Trottel der Daka auswechseln wollte? Ach ja, ich... wenigstens erst zur HZ 

Meiner Meinung nach der entscheidende Ausfall warum es aktuell defensiv teilweise vogelwild zugeht. Ich denke mit Bernede hätten wir zumindestens gegen Napoli zumindest ein X gemacht. Der Ausfall tut einfach enorm weh und ist qualitativ nicht zu kompensieren.
