I felt cold just watching that! 🥶

Top of the table St. Pauli draw away at bottom of the table Osnabruck. Hamburg drop to third after losing at home to Paderborn. Ever improving Hertha move within 4 points of Hamburg (having knocked them out of the cup during the week after equalising goals in the 90th and 120th mins!). Schalke remain in the bottom 3.
Shaping up nicely as they move towards the winter break.
Resumes this weekend after the winter break. Bundesliga 2 matches on Sky youtube this weekend - Schalke v Hamburg on Saturday and Hertha v Düsseldorf on Sunday.
On the subject of Hertha, this is a sad story. Kay Bernstein, who rose from ultra on the Ostkurve to club president dies at 43.

From Kicker: “Berlin, which had fallen somewhat out of love with Hertha BSC, has taken this traditional club back to its heart.
That the alienation between the club and the active fan scene has been overcome, that this club, which has lived grotesquely beyond its means for years, has regained its footing - that is Bernstein's lasting merit.”
Hamburg beaten 4-3 at home by Hannover - looking good for St Pauli.
Glatzel scored again
I watched St Pauli v Greuther Fürth on youtube last weekend, and they said that apparently their last league defeat was the 4-3 in the derby back in April last year! (although they lost to Düsseldorf in the cup a couple of weeks ago). Could be 8 clear at the top by the end of today.
....and, just as I post that, the unbeaten run is over! St. Pauli lose 1-0 at Magdeburg.
There was quite a few protest around the grounds in Germany today i.e. against Saudi and and private equity investors buying a stake in the in the Bundesliga marketing revenues, a move backed by two-thirds of the teams in the Bundesliga/Bundesliga 2.
Last night's HSV v Hannover game was stopped by protests for 15 mins and nearly called off from what I read. A banner with the owner's head in crosshairs in the Hannover end was part of the problem, presumably for support of the proposal you mention. Protests also against 'puppets in support of Saudi sportswashing' too. Big game between Leverkusen and Bayern on now also held up. A protest involving lots of throwing of sweeties. Well, it is Karnival time!
Are St. Pauli wobbling?. After the long undefeated run now a second defeat in the last 4, this time 3-1 at Schalke. Kiel close the gap, coming from 2 down at Hertha to equalise with a 97th min pen.
Hamburger SV can also close the gap with a home match against bottom of the table Osnabruck on Sunday.
Been watching a few on sky sports youtube, and must say coverage is very good. Interesting fact from the commentary tonight was that apparently for the first time in history Bundesliga 2 attendances last weekend were higher than those in the Bundesliga. Wonder if that has ever happened here.
I meant to post this last week.
Attendances in 2.Bundesliga outstripped the top flight last weekend

It's definitely a mini wobble Peter. Not easy being front runners sometimes. Fully expect Hamburg to close the gap but they've got form for shooting themselves in the foot too.
Rivalry aside, I'll be happy to see both Hamburg clubs in the top flight next season
Chris Gunter scored for Freiburg against Bayern Munich last night…..thought I’d chuck that in.
Prescient words Harry. Hamburg lose at home to a bottom of the table Osnabruck reduced to 10 men. Are HSV the ultimate bottlers of European football? I'd hate to be a fan of theirs!
...oh, and Glatzel scores again.
Even a broken clock is correct twice a day mate 😄.Prescient words Harry
...oh, and Glatzel scores again.
Their record in recent years is getting freakish, they seem to be determined to remain in Bundeslega 2.
All to play for, really looking forward to seeing how it pans out.
5 matches left. Top 5: Kiel 58, St. Pauli 57, Düsseldorf 52, Hamburg 49, Hannover 45
Dusseldorf are on fire, with 6 straight wins. St. Pauli are wobbling having lost the last 2. Hamburg v Kiel this evening is a huge match. Will Hamburg miss out yet again?
For those interested just a reminder that there is good live coverage on Sky Sports Youtube.
Conscious of the dodgyness of bouncing your own threads....
Kiel surprisingly lose at home to 2nd to bottom 1 FCK. Dusseldorf draw at Schalke. It means St. Pauli could gain promotion at next Friday's derby game away at Hamburger SV. That'll go down well.
Just a short additional point. I was at St. Pauli v Rostock on Friday. They hate each other. A few seasons back Rostock fans smashed up all the toilets. They were banned for the match after, but Pauli fans being Pauli fans took the view that nobody should be banned from a football match, and they've been let back. So, on Friday the club closed the away end toilets but provided porta-loos. They also stated that for every porta-loo left undamaged they would pay 100 euros to Rostock's youth development team. Apparently no damage was reported. Very German football!Conscious of the dodgyness of bouncing your own threads....

Been following the season closely but didn't know of the toilet story. What a refreshing way of dealing with a potential problem. I'm guessing if that happened over here they'd receive an anti 'woke' backlash. I know that Rostock have a large far right fan presence so glad to see St Pauli flush them away.
Would love to see them gain promotion on Friday but playing two out of the current bottom three in their remaining games, surely they'll make it anyway
Great story and shows how the carrot can be more powerful than the stick.

Winning goal by Robert Glatzel on 85 mins.
Glatzel’s Bundesliga 2 record for Hamburg now reads 60 goals in 95 (+3) appearances.
Quite incredible really. And, as usual, another 57,000 crowd at Hamburg this evening.
Astonishing return, pleased for him.
Always thought good he looked in the lockdown payoff run.
Our management clearly thought differently
A good technical player, City probably didn’t know what to do with him.
Still optimistic that the right team in Hamburg will be the only ones promoted from that city.
