Great Bayern & Germany Games for free, anybody interested?

Gregoriak · Jun 10, 2005

I have the following plan.

Eissman started this thread about the 2001 CL final which he got to see recently thanks to McWeiss sending him the tape. I sneaked into that thread to tell him that Bayern's game at Real Madrid in 2000 was even better. Eissman asked if someone could sent him a copy of that game. That someone will be me. But sending him just one game when I have a couple of other great games would be a wasted opportunity, so I decided to add some fine Bayern & Germany games from the recent and distant past.

They are:

1954 World Cup final: West Germany v Hungary (37 minutes)
1970 World Cup semi: West Germany v Italy
1972 Euro Quarterfinal: England v West Germany
1972 Euro final: West Germany v USSR
1973 German Cup final: Gladbach v Cologne
1974 Champions Cup final: Bayern v Atletico (47 minutes, second leg)
1974 World Cup: West Germany v Sweden
2000 CL: Real v Bayern (first 8 minutes missing)
2001 CL: Manchester v Bayern (first seconds missing)
2001 CL: Bayern v Manchester
2003 CL: Manchester v Real

These 11 games should fit on 3 or 4 DVDs. Originally I wanted to include the Bayern v Real game from 2000 as well (Matthäus' last game), but I just can't find it anymore.

Now I thought to myself if I sent this stuff to eissman all the way to America, why not let other Bayern fans of the Big Soccer community take part in it? The idea is that eissman will copy these DVDs and then sent them to another Bayern fan, who will then proceed to copy these DVDs for another Bayern fan and so on. Like a chain.

So if people are interested in taking part in this chain, they should let eissman and me know. Of course people would need to have a DVD player in the first place and having a DVD burner wouldn't hurt also.

Now is that a plan?

P.S.: I could also add the 1999 and 2001 CL finals if people are interested.

Question. Is it only open to Bayern fans?

I would be interested in everything after the 1999 CL Final. Would help to pass them along if I can burn the DVDs on my computer.

NUFCBayern · Jun 10, 2005

I've no clue how to burn DVD's. If that's not a problem (!), I'm in. I'm desperate for past Bayern games/past Germany games. I'm a bit of a historian.

Dead Fingers · Jun 10, 2005

Is that the 73 cup final where Netzer came on late to score???

nekkibasara · Jun 10, 2005

IM in too, and so is my DVD burner and my taio-yuden media

mcweiss · Jun 10, 2005

I'm in...I will coordinate with Eissman on the North American side...

Gregoriak · Jun 10, 2005

Excellent.

I forgot to add that there will also be an awesome 90-minutes collection of "Tor des Monats" (Goal of the Month) from 1971-1996. Over 200 great goals.

It’s also open to non-Bayern fans. Anybody that can copy DVDs is welcome!

Yeah, I’m a bit of that, too!

Someone has to be at the end of the chain, though, and out of logistical reasons I would suggest it to be someone that has no DVD burner.

That’s the one. The game itself is fantastic, btw, even without the legendary Netzer part.

I agree man. BIG EFFIN UPS to you guys!!!!

   · Jun 10, 2005

I'm afraid I can't offer anything as my hard-drive crashed a few months ago but I'm in too!!

NUFCBayern · Jun 10, 2005

I call the "end of the line"! And since I can't burn anything...I can pay people, or something.

Gregoriak · Jun 10, 2005

OK, basically the thing is that I have to record the stuff on DVD first from video tapes (maximum 360 minutes per DVD), that might take a while. When that is done, I will send the package to eissman who will burn copies for himself and then send the DVDs to the next person in line.

So my involvement stops the minute I brought the stuff to the post office. Next you guys have to make a plan who takes which place in the chain. Once that is established, #2 in the chain gives his address to #1 (eissman) so that he can send the DVDs to him. #2 does the same with #3 and #3 sends it to #4 and so on.

There may be some people that don't have dvd burners (other than BayernWake). They will have to be placed at the end of the chain.

But there's no hurry working this all out just now as I will have to record it first and that may take a while.

I have access to a DVD burner. So I am fine there.

Gregoriak: do you want those books I was talking about earlier this week? If you leave an adress in the freight I will send them to ya!!!!

Gregoriak · Jun 10, 2005

The Franz Beckenbauer book (WC '82) and the football from around the world book? Thanks for the offer mate but I have too many football books already and I got the Franz book.

The best World Cup book by a player that I have read yet is Paul Breitner's "Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft 1982" which he actually wrote himself w/o a ghostwriter. You must look out for that one, it covers West Germany's 1982 World Cup en detail from a blunt insider's perspective. Really interesting.

Breitner wrote another interesting book, btw, in 1980, which was a bit controversial, called "Ich will kein Vorbild sein".

arthur d · Jun 10, 2005

Great initiative! Count me in as well. As far as I know we have a DVD writer at work, but I'll need to check.

I will still keep my eyes out for you on the reading material! You let me or any of us know if there is anything on this side of the pond you need.

Breitner was always the lively one!

Dead Fingers · Jun 10, 2005

I got to get the W Germany Holland 90 match... I think I can get that here though.

WOW! Talk about a great variety of German footie. Sweet! How do I get in on this outstanding deal? Whose butt do I have to kiss?

scorpio81 · Jun 10, 2005

a bit of a request guys - i will probably be transferring to cambridge (england) sometime in august and im guessing that once the dvds will come to north america, theyll be here to stay... so im hoping i can get a hold of them a little earlier in the queue so that i can burn copies before i leave the country... since i have a dvd burner and can easily pass them on, i hope it shouldnt be a problem (this is directed at whoevers organizing this... )

eissman · Jun 11, 2005

Let's clear something up... GREGORIAK deserves 100% of the credit on this one guys... he is really the mastermind. Brilliant Idea and a class guy.

If I haven't said it before, I will most definitely say it now... this is the greatest forum around and the people here are pure class. Props to those who are getting involved on G-man's little "pay-it-forward" plan.

chelodelgado · Jun 11, 2005

Gregoriak:

Do you have a highspeed internet connection? I think it will be faster to distribute the games using torrents, maybe release 1 game per week? How about Germany's games from WC90, EC92,96? Props to you for the idea.

F96 · Jun 11, 2005

I'm not a Bayern fan by any means but I'd like to take part too.

I have a DVD Burner.

Gregoriak · Jun 11, 2005

Everyone is welcome. The more the better.

Sounds like a good idea.

But I'm the wrong man for this technical stuff and all that. Not my area of expertise. You look like the man for the job, so what if I send the DVDs to you and you do the rest? One game per week sounds like a good idea.

What do the others think?

scorpio81 · Jun 11, 2005

actually torrents might be the best idea, infact...

i can upload some games too but these are mainly recent games that most others might already have...

aside from the bayern games this season, i have the czech 3-2 holland game from euro2004, and the liverpool 2-1 arsenal game (mellor 92nd min winner - catfish im sure youd be interested in that one )

i will try uploading these via torrents if anybodys interested...
