1. FC Köln 07/08 Thread [R]

3-1 victory in Offenbach! And back on a promotion place!
I think it works, I am screaming the team to a victory.... :rolleyes:

The parking situation if Offenbach is terrible, I had to walk 20mins to the stadium... With all the traffic I was a tad too late also, I missed the first goal by Offenbach. In my opinion the first half was not very good, I saw a lot of faults in passing (on both teams), our team was too far from their direct opponents and they didn't attack early enough.
The second half was totally different, FC was the dominant team and deserved the 3 points. I really liked the goal by Helmes. They kept Offenbach under pressure, attacked early and passed very nicely.

Good stuff.

Kickers Offenbach: Thier - Hysky, Bungert, Sichone, Pinske - Wörle (41' Ogungbure) - Mokhtari (77' Epstein), Ricardo Sousa (65' Hornig), Judt - Agritis, Türker

1. FC Köln: Mondragon - Ümit Özat, Mitreski, Mohamad, Pezzoni (70' Vucicevic) - Matip - Antar, Broich - Helmes (80' Scherz) - McKenna, Novakovic (87' Schöneberg)

How did Pezzoni do?

[köllealaaf]

How did Pezzoni do?

He played ok, I think Broich supported him a lot on the left side so that Pezzoni was able to concentrate on defending only (he played left wingback).
He was a little too slow to prevent the pass from Agritis that lead to the 1-0.

Some evil tongues said that Sichone played his best match for Cologne :D

[panicfc]

Slow physically or in reading the play?

Can you give a time to check out. I'd have to watch both vids again and don't have time for that right now.

It's the first half in the beginning, right after our corner and the first attack by Offenbach. Agritis is the one running along the side line and giving the pass

It's DERBY TIME soon!!! Are you ready? ;)

[panicfc]

We better be ready, and Daum better have the boys ready.

This statement from Alex Voigt could bring him thousands of whistles & booes in the case he should be playing on Monday ;):

Edit for Eddie: Alex was a die-hard Köln supporter as child and played many years for FC.

No boo from my side. I think we had this discussion last year already...
I respect Alex and never understood why he had to leave the FC

[panicfc]

I seem to remember that discussion. Also the link came up to a blank page.

We can only win on that match in my opinion :)
If anyone here remembers my predictions - we are still one point ahead of it and even if we lose against gladbach we are still right on track, because I predicted a tie only. There is nothing to lose for us, we can only win. And I am confident that it will be pretty hard for Gladbach to take the three points away from Cologne

[panicfc]

I like the way you think.

So tell me what we have to lose ... if you don't have to lose anything? We are 8 points ahead of spot 4 and play away. I think that the pressure is on your side.

To be honest, I don't expect us to win (although there's no other team that managed to win more often in Köln than we did) and would be absolutely content with a draw!


Btw: I hope that your Ultras won't provoke our fans by presenting the huge UMG banner (in the case the "Wilde Horde" should really have stolen it) in your fan curve on Monday ... since I fear that such a gesture could cause some serious trouble. I wanna see a good & fair derby without any fights before & after the game!

Well said, Borussia. I hope whomsoever the banner belongs to made a report at the police, because stealing is a crime and has to be punished as that. If the banner appears during the game, it should be possible to find out who's guilty. Having said that, I can see no justification for any group of fans starting a fight over matters like that, as I'm sure you will agree.

[panicfc]

Tell me more about this banner incident. Its a prank if they steal it and return it, not good, but not as bad as if they burned it something else violent.

i cross my fingers for a kölsche win! :D
