Klares Statement von Ralf Rangnick zur Nicht-Nominierung von Nationalspielern nach deren homophoben Gesängen. Kein Relativieren, kein „Hat sich ja entschuldigt“ usw.

To think there were quite a few who questioned both his stability and ability as a manager after that wobble over Christmas, mental. Feels huge that result yesterday.
Nachdem ich für den rbb zu 500 Tagen Kay Bernstein als Hertha-Präsident geschrieben hatte, rief er mich an, um über den Text zu reden. Er hatte da so eine grundsätzliche Skepsis ihm gegenüber ausgemacht im Artikel, der wolle er nachgehen. 1/
Hertha BSC trauert um Kay Bernstein. Am heutigen Dienstag hat Hertha BSC die furchtbare Nachricht erhalten, dass Präsident Kay Bernstein im Alter von 43 Jahren unerwartet verstorben ist. Der gesamte Verein, seine Gremien und Mitarbeitenden sind fassungslos und zutiefst bestürzt.
Of course, the very reason why I think he's looked back on so fondly by our supporters is because of how dire we were at the time. But that innate flair just doesn't seem to be a *thing* anymore - whether it's due to coaching or it's a stylistic thing I'm not sure.
Watching this back just makes me sad how football has essentially pushed players like HBA out, making way for efficiency rather than the odd moment like this. Much more of a numbers game these days isn't it.
17 - Lewis Miley is the youngest player in UEFA Champions League history to assist a goal for an English club (17 years, 226 days), breaking Theo Walcott's record from November 2006 for Arsenal (17 years, 250 days). Unfazed.
Had initially worried for Miley’s dev’t given he’s essentially been thrusted into a rotational role so early on in his career, but that performance yesterday had some ridiculous levels to it - 17 years old and pulling out an assist like this, it’s nuts.
Condemning all aspects of the conflict, but choosing to focus on one side rather than both — you’d have to be blind to not see the narrative Reuben is trying to push here. Knowing some sections of our fanbase, they’ll no doubt lap it up an all.
Whilst we rightly mourn all children’s death on both sides of this conflict we should never forget that armed Hamas terrorists chose to deliberately massacre 40 children in their homes as well indiscriminately murdering thousands of others. May their memory be a blessing. Our thoughts are with them and all innocent victims of this conflict .
