St Pats vs Hertha Berlin - Match Thread

Just 2 hours to go to the big kick off.

I wonder what formation Pats will go for. I will guess teh following:

-------------------------- Ryan

Lynch ------------- Gavin ------ Harris ------------ Rogers :o

Guy -------------- Dempsey ---- Fahy ------------- O'Brien

-------------------- Murphy ---------- Quigley

If he goes for an attacking up the middle 4 3 3 then there will be goals :eek: but Im not sure who will get the most. Its most likely that they will use a 4 4 2 like above.

Predictions 4-1 Pats :D

i think if Pat's sit back and try and catch them on the break they'll be in for a hiding.

if they try to match them by playing football they'll be in for a hiding

i think the best way to beat them would be to play a high pressing game and rattle them early. If they can rattle voronin which won't be difficult then i think they have a chance. If the crowd can make an intimidating atmosphere ten who knows

I've wrote it in a other thread also, but I think it's suitable here too.
I want to give you the tenor of germany to the match. The german football magazin Kicker wrote on monday in a article:

Quote:

Favre: "It could expect us a hurricane"

At first the elimination in the 2. round of DFB Pokal and than the defeat in the last bundesliga match against Cottbus: Hertha BSC stand under huge pressure before the ireland-trip.
"We have an advantage, we are 2:0 in front" say Hertha coach L. Favre. "But St. Patrick's Athletic will show a other performance as in the first leg in Berlin. It could expects us a hurricane tomorrow. We must be able to abide mental the pressure." [...]

So you can see, Hertha BSC is nervous and affraid because of the last bad results. They aren't in a good form. I think Pats have a great chance to beat the germans. But if it will be enough to achieve the next round is a ohter question.

You know I'm a german and I live only 250 kilometers far away of Berlin, but today I'm absolutely for St. Patrick's Athletic. I hate fu**ing Hertha BSE and was already to the match in Berlin at the guest area to support St. Pats...

I worry that the attendance could be terrible: 5 o'clock kick-off, match live on TV and perception that the tie is over. I can imagine people catching some of it on the box and being very unimpressed at the empty spaces. Reminds me of my brother-in-law (typical Man United fan) catching a glimpse of Pats at home on TV in Europe some years ago and remarking 'There's nobody there!'. 'That's because everybody is like you and only watches the Premier League' I (should have) told him.

Well its great to see football fans in another country supporting Irish footy. It is usually the other way about. :D

Good luck Pats. Do Ireland proud.

I honetly think they can do it. 2-0 at full-time then win on penalties.

I think they had sold 3,000 tickets in advance, and sold out the two middle sections of the grandstand. Plus plenty of people seem to be planning on getting tickets tonight. A lot of people working near by who might pop in out of curiosity. A good few from here seem to be heading and I don't think any have bought tickets yet. I know I haven't. Hopefully get at least 6,000.

Look here: http://www.rojadirecta.com/

There you can find one Soapcast and one tvants link. Hope fr you they will function. Other possibility: Go on http://zattoo.com/de , Donwload the programm, take the registration as a german and if you have luck, than you can watch the german channel DSF - wich will show live the match.

By the way: It's fu**ing brilliant to see german TV Live coverage from Dublin, Ireland. They speak all so respectful of St. Patrick's Athletic. That's absolutely great. Also good for Saints: Pantelic will not playing because of a injury.
