Germany might have only managed a draw but love, respect and humanity won tonight. Well done to every Germany supporter that brought a rainbow flag, well done to Goretzka for showing the love heart and well done to neuer for wearing the rainbow with pride 🏳️🌈🇩🇪

At 17 I had left school and had little to no direction in life. Playing in a major cup final at such a young age against one of the biggest and best teams in the country is a phenomenal achievement.... You should be very proud of her she will serve as an inspiration to many
Just received some huge news! I have accepted an unconditional offer for the Journalism course at Napier university 🤩🤩 I am so excited to take another huge step in my sports journalism dream and I am so proud of myself I never thought I’d ever get this far 💚💪
I made this map with my favourite club from each Bezirk (district) of the DDR this all pre 1990 based so a few of these clubs have different names/don’t exist anymore
I also couldn’t find a good enough image of the Turbine Potsdam’s DDR era Badge so using their modern one 🇩🇪⚽️
Some exciting news to share with you all 🤩
I am officially a member of the Hertha family! I am proud to be a Hertha Mitglied and a part of a club I love that represents a city I love so well
Can’t wait to be back next week
HaHoHe immer BSC 💙🤍
People wonder why I love Hibs so much. Hibs is more than a club to me Hibs has been the only thing between me and suicide before, Hibs is the last proper connection I have to my Grandad and the Hibs family have been there for me on countless occasions. I love my club GGTTH 🇳🇬
Are you boycotting the World Cup ? Or Are you missing top level club football ? Either way the women’s champions league returns tonight and it’s free on YouTube via DAZN so tune in to the very best of European Women’s football. I’ll be watching Wolfsburg-Roma 😁🇩🇪💚
@Joey7Barton
Taking a pop shot at a 16 year old girl is new low even by your standards. Playing in a major cup final at the age against one of the best teams in the country is a huge achievement regardless of gender
If you don't like women's football don't watch it simple
Pathetic man
One massive positive to come out of this Euros is the strengthened relationship between Germany and Scotland
I speak German, I have so many amazing German friends and I support a German club so words cannot describe how special it was to see especially in Köln
🇩🇪🤝🏴
Tonight marked the end of the changing room course:
It was a life changing course for me
learned that it’s ok to have mental health issues
learned how to express my mental health positively
opened more than I ever thought possible
Learned to be more positive about myself
My Grandad was the reason I became a Hibee his stories of the famous 5 and selling chocolate & programs at Easter Road in the 50’s made me fall in love with our club He was absolutely over the moon in 2016, sadly he isn’t with us this year but I am hoping we can win it for him💚
What a week volunteering at Easter Road! Real sense of accomplishment with all the work done over the week. I Learned new skills, had fun and most importantly I got to give back to the club I love. Feels really good to do something positive for the wider Fan base and community 💚
Absolutely buzzing to find out that I’ve got a job at as a German speaking customer service agent🤩 absolutely over the moon to be in work before Uni stars and a role where I can use and improve my German. Proud of myself for everything I achieve 💚👊
@EstonianFBP
We all know the Regionalliga Nordost is the best league in the world! Give me BFC Dynamo vs Chemnitzer FC over Man City vs Liverpool any day!
Days like yesterday make all of the online abuse I took for supporting the women’s team worth it. This group of players and Dean deserved that yesterday and I am proud to say I’ve been a part of the journey to that moment. It is a genuine honour to support Hibs Women 💚
Today
@HibernianFC
turns 147 years young. From being brought up on my Grandad’s tales of the Famous Five to watching our fantastic women’s team, helping around the stadium and meeting/interviewing players and managers past and present this club means everything to me. GGTTH 💚
RB Leipzig being in Champions League action always reminds me that are so many better options in the Messestadt
From the giants of the DDR era Chemie and Lok to all of the great smaller local clubs like Inter and Roter Stern REAL Leipzig football has so much to offer. Nein zu RB
Prince Phillip stood against every value our club was founded upon. Much of our fan base including myself don’t believe the monarchy and what it stands for. A man has died and that is a shame but what has it go to do with football and our club
Everyone at Hibernian Football Club is saddened to learn of the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who had such a wonderful affinity with our city.
Our thoughts are with Her Majesty the Queen and all the Royal Family.
Really positive experience at my first session of the changing room at Easter Road tonight. I took part in a walk and talk around the pitch where I had positive discussions about my mental health and my battles with self esteem issues. Proud of myself for taking this step 💚

Day 14:
Berlin 9th division side Blau-Weiß Friedrichshain play their home games on top of a shopping centre !! their pitch which is called the Fußballhimmel is located on the roof of the METRO centre at Warschauer Straße
Day 3✅ Turned my hand to a bit of painting in the East Stand today and got good before and after pics of my work. Really enjoying helping out around the stadium especially when fans will be seeing my work next season GGTTH 💚
It is hard to describe just how much Berlin means to me:
I am always welcomed/accepted and It genuinely makes me so happy to hear my German being complimented and my knowledge/passion for DDR football and Hertha
Berlin is where I feel I belong 💚🇩🇪
It’s officially back 😍
German football fact advent calendar Day 1️⃣🎄🇩🇪⚽️
East Germany’s only appearance at a major international tournament was at the 1974 World Cup in West Germany
The campaign is best known for a famous 1-0 win over West Germany in Hamburg
Just had the fright of my life with my Dad, had to get rushed into hospital after having a heart attack at work. He has had a stent fitted and is up on a word all seems fine now but one of the most terrifying things that can happen
@JayinKyiv
Georgians are a proud people and just like the Baltic states and Ukraine they went through a lot of suffering at the hands of Russian imperialism. Glad that men like him have the courage to stand up for their hard fought independence
I don’t think it is an understatement to say this Pokal Final is a battle for the very soul of German football. Freiburg as a club are (in my opinion) the very essence of what German football stands for while RB Leipzig goes against everything that German football is built upon
Delighted to announce I am joining the media team at

The investor deal is dead 🥳
Today DFL Bosses met in Frankfurt and came to the decision that the controversial investor deal will be shelved with immediate affect
The DFL stated that the deal was ‘more trouble than it was worth’ this comes after an escalation in fan protests
What an amazing year
My best mate got married 💍
3 amazing trips to Berlin🇩🇪⚽️
I got my first job 👔
I got another article published ✍️
One of the most positive years I’ve had with my mental health 💚
2022 you truly were special 🥰
A blast from the past?
BFC Dynamo have officially confirmed plans for a return to their DDR era club crest which has been out of use for decades due to an ownership dispute. If successful all club branding, merchandise and team wear would include that iconic old badge.
I think everyone who knows me will know how special Hibs are to me and days like yesterday are the reason why.
A derby win is the most amazing thing you can experience as a fan especially in a rivalry as great as the Edinburgh Derby
Proud of my club always GGTTH 💚
Not the result we wanted last night but still great to meet Hibs and Villa legend Des Bremner
Des made 199 appearances for Hibs before helping Villa on their way to the European Cup
Proper gentleman with some fantastic stories as well 💚💜
I’ve been doing a bit of self reflection and I am so proud of how far I have come in the last 2 years. I used to be someone who was rudderless in life and made a lot of poor choices. I was always trying to be one of the ‘lads’ to make up for the fact I hated myself (1/5)
Hertha wird für mich immer mehr als ein Fußballverein sein. Hertha steht für das, was ich an Berlin liebe, bei Hertha bin ich immer willkommen gewesen, in der Kurve fühle ich mich als Teil einer Gemeinschaft. Edinburgh von Geburt, aber Berlin wird immer in meinem Herzen sein 💙🤍
Well Berlin once again it was a pleasure. This city is simply amazing so many memories made and some new friends as well plus plenty of great food, beer and Fußball. See you in 2023 👋🇩🇪⚽️
Day 2✅ More weeding and pulling out dead branches round at the player car park as well as some more jet washing. Beginning to see visible improvements as a result. Feeling of accomplishment is real 😎💚
Safe to say this is my favourite Christmas present! 70s style East German national Football team jacket 😍 Considering this a reproduction it is really high quality and definitely let’s you channel your inner Sparwasser 😁🇩🇪⚽️
No matter what the results are on the park I will always love this club. We all miss you very dearly Ron thank you once again for everything fly high 💚
🗣️ “He was such a genuine guy. It’s very rare to see that in football ownership these days.”
One Hibee says it feels like the ‘heart has been ripped out of the club’ following Ron Gordon’s passing 😞

It’s world suicide prevention day. As many of you will know I have had my battles with mental health issues especially in regards to my self esteem/self image. It’s not a miracle cure but I can guarantee talking to someone will help it certainly helped me It’s ok to be not ok 💚
Thank you so much

That felt like a win. What a return for Boyle and I’ve got to say we deserved that we didn’t play great at times but we took our one Chance and that’s what matters. Marshall was also fantastic made some big saves. Well done lads mon eh 🥬💚
BFC Dynamo:
I’ve always had a huge spot for the record East German champions. Twice I seen them play TeBe and both games did not disappoint. Great atmosphere and you’ve got to love the Sportforum Hohenschönhausen proper old school ground
Suitcase with a Hertha Trikot means only one thing I am Hauptstadt ready 😎

See you soon Berlin 🇩🇪💚

The Oberliga Topspiel ended in an ill tempered 1-1 draw as both sides saw red and got scrappy. It remains a two horse race at the top
Was Lucky enough to meet Pat Stanton after the game today. A true legend and one of my all time my favourite Hibs players To say I was star struck would be an understatement 🤩🇳🇬💚
Full time in the Edinburgh Derby and it finishes 6-0 !!! What a performance from every single player on that pitch today Two words Hibs Class !!! From the outset we were the better team and out classed the Jambos in every area of the park. The Girls should be very proud GGTTH 🇳🇬
The consultants were so happy with my Dad’s progress that he got let home today ! He’s in good spirits and you wouldn’t be able to tell he had a serious health scare. Thank you to everyone again for all the nice messages myself and the family are very grateful 💚
