Sutton_blows_goats 4,176 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The herta manager had a go at the ref in the first half and he just had a word. Bizarre. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,239 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Have only watched 20odd minutes of both halves thus far. This looks very much like a fitness session than anything else. Starting with three DMs who hardly press or go into the attacking area tells its own story. Second half is more or less experimental and game time again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,587 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The match is so dull, I picked up an interesting factoid on Wiki... "The club was formed in 1892 as BFC Hertha 92, taking its name from a steamship with a blue and white smokestack; one of the four young men who founded the club had taken a day trip on this ship with his father. The name Hertha is a variation on Nerthus, referring to a fertility goddess from Germanic mythology." 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSocksRedTops 3,473 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Some of the comments...Jeso. Its a mid season bounce game on a terrible pitch. We have two aims from this exercise. Maintain fitness and avoid injuries (especially on this pitch) Edited January 13 by BlackSocksRedTops 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see any positives that we can take other than getting game time. Probably biggest mistake was to show it live so we can all see how poor its actually been. Don't think anyone is going overboard with the comments. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maintain fitness and avoid injuries (especially on this pitch) We all said the same when it was pish under Beale in his pre season...lo and behold we carried it into the competitive games. If we're like this against Copenhagen I'll have a bit of the fear tbh, but that's because of the scar tissue from Beale's training games. Hopefully this will do us good rather than be detrimental. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
