I decided to avoid the Bear congregation and do some sightseeing today (Bierpinsel, Kaiser Wilhelm church and some unexpected journeys due to construction work on large parts of the S Bahn...somebody could've warned me!). My son and I had a good laugh at some cross dressers on the U Bahn and it has to be said that German blokes really should avoid black leather jackets - no matter how they wear them they look like they're in the SS. 🤣 Soviet memorial will be visited tomorrow, pre-match, in honour of our East Berliners. I'm hoping to fit in Hitler's Schwerbelastungskörper and Bowie's apartment too but the S Bahn issue may hamper that. Mon The Rangers!

Heard he's good at taking on the Romans. 🙂

I have no intention of ever wearing one. I just think it's quite good for a third shirt - with 3/4 strips released every single season, they can't all be plain.

I think it looks pretty good. As for the timing, these things are scheduled months in advance.

New third shirt.

We can't keep sacking managers every year. I wouldn't blame Clement for considering his position, as things stand. I suppose the next few weeks will have a huge bearing on how things go.

I only ever join in with the bigoted stuff. 😀

Lad at my school starting losing his hair at 15. As long as Cerny improves our wide options, I don't care if he looks 96.

Yes, I preferred that one. Slightly more uplifting than "Ibroxonia".

I think last night should put the 'play the youngsters' chat to bed. Lowry and McKinnon are nowhere near good enough. Can't say I'm looking forward to Saturday's match. Or the season.

I'd just like to add that version of Caledonia we're singing is flippin' awful. Depressing dirge (and I like the song itself).

I'm not a huge fan of Cantwell and think this scenario has been coming but it's weird we're starting with Lowry at 10 when we have Cantwell available. He's much, much better at creating chances (not that he's very good at it, mind you). I said it in the friiendlies thread - something just feels completely off. This season is shaping up to be a horror show.

Yes but that was before Celtc scudded every other team in sight. Changed days - we have to win every league match now and can't start badly.

It's obvious you didn't watch the first half. How anyone can have a go at the travelling support for booing that is bizarre.

A lot of modern football fans seem to be horrified by a long ball. For me, if it gets goals, it's fine. The problem is ours don't often get goals and we seen to do it more out of desperation than thoughtful intent.

Same old story: we don't take enough of our chances and give away silly goals. . It's worrying how predictable we are.

He looks younger than he did 25 years ago! 🤣

You'd hope me the 7,000 Bears booing them off might wake them from their slumber but I won't hold my breath.

Sergio Porrini's completely fake hair has cheered me up a wee bit.

Something isn't right. Everywhere you look there are problems but the team just isn't functioning as a unit. Unless drastic changes are made, this season is going to be a nightmare.

They did get relegated!

2-0. Nothing positive, so far.

Same here. His passing has been really poor. The whole defence looks rubbish.

Matondo and Yilmaz both should've done better with those chances. That drum is making watching this even worse. Hopefully they don't take it to Germany.

Yes, I deliberately ignored it.
