A rather dreary Sunday game in Darmstadt next. A weird Scottish connection, with Fraser Hornby playing for Darmstadt, their ultras having a chant to the tune of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and a bagpiper playing as I was leaving the stadium. Anyone know as to the connection? Snuck in with the ultras too!

Forgot about this app. Anyway let’s show some more photos. This time a day in Mainz. Drinking Federweißer aplenty and watching a 7 goal thriller between Mainz and Leverkusen.

Some more photos from this excellent trip. An overboard flare from the Napoli fans above after an early Lukaku goal. Also including a display acknowledging 40 years of friendship between Parma and Empoli ultras. Am fascinated by the socio-political nature of Italian football.

Got some film back recently. Derby D’Italia. 4-4. What a game, what a place. Even found out that it’s possible to have a robot vacuum Partner! Piece soon on my ambiguity on this.
