Who watched the Schalke 04-Bayern game?

Just incredible, like the commentators said, you cant plan something that. I cant even explain what happened, someone post an article or link :p

Well, to put it quickly, The Schalke fans were protesting something about the club, the decided that they wouldn't cheer on the team until about the 19th minute. At about the 18:30 mark, the stands exploded in euphoria, the camera zoomed in on the "ultras" and then onto a man on a megaphone that was going nuts. The decibel meter must have been a record, and then the camera switched back into the game and out of nowhere Lovenkrands rockets a shot past Khan from the edge of the box. Wow...:cool:

why 19 minutes ? What an odd number to choose. I've seen Inter ultras not take their seats until 10 minutes into the game to protest their play before. Completely empty end stand all of a sudden to be filled when the protest is up.

The club was founded 1904, therefore the fans choose the 19:04 minutes.

The commentator I was listening to said that the mark the fans were waiting to begin cheering the club on was 19:04 of the first half. (The club was founded in 1904)
I recorded the match on Tivo and just had another look. The goal was scored at 19:12. :eek:
According to one news report I read, the fans were silent before then to protest coach Mirko Slomka's side for recent poor results. Last week Schalke lost 3:0 to Stuttgart and before that were knocked out of the DFB-Pokal by 2nd division FC Koln 4:2 after extra time.
Schalke's website has a match report in German where it looks like the protest is mentioned (I don't understand too much German). The Englsih version does not have a match report yet as I post this.

video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMx_ZrX8QoM)

poor quality, but you can distinguish the end of the boycott and the goal...

The DFL forbids videos in the internet, therefore no other videos available.
