Google ad tasteless







On shortnews.de could not find one on 04.05.2010 the above Google ad in the context of an article on Wikileaks video from Iraq. Very unhappy when you realize that the time of Iraq civilians killed and Reuters staff are women and partners should have left.

Sore Salivary Glands From Drinking Alcohol

let Podolski play!

Bundesliga - 29 Round Easter weekend

The top match of today's match day is FC Schalk .... uh, no. Moment. 1. FC Cologne - Hertha BSC? Fact.
18:30 clock, a game in an exposed place. All eyes are on Müngersdorf.

As is also here now the much-debated question: Does he or does not he? Soldo is really a fit Poldi on the bench? Rapolder reloaded?

In the environment of the FC, it is now an open secret that Poldi is cut from parts of the team or ignored. Especially Novakovic and Maniche are supposed to be in that direction, they say. Vanities that would fit zugebenermaßen these difficult characters. Podolski is available around the clock in the spotlight. Other FC players back in the second row.

Today writes stupid to make matters worse, "Poldi must play!" Unfortunately they have with their argument is not a point. A Podolski needs full backing and confidence in order to function. That's why he went back to Munich to Cologne. But now it is all just as bad. Once Podolski does not play, turns on the team and win games. Coincidence? One would hope so.

But ultimately passes Podolski no way. It was the most ambitious transfer of the club's history. The most expensive to boot. This player should be in the next few years, the heart of the team. If other "stars" in this state do not get along, then they have to go. It is not after all, as if Novak had this season as athletic necessarily proved indispensable. Oh the laziest Maniche flashed the skills only once every few weeks on. Wome still packing on top, lid, drum bow and go.

me for a player of this type are a guarantee that NO team is just on the pitch. Podolski is Cologne. He has a special status, he has developed here, then. We have retrieved it. This decision was risky, expensive and important. Now you have to want it and build around him a formidable team. People with character, not divas.

So I say, well Poldi must play today. Freis, together with the best in the storm. In a pinch on the left. No matter. This is about the development of the association. And not the sensibilities of any spite heads tomorrow it will again be busy somewhere else.

Tosic to FC? Better not! A decade

The press is already rumored to switch from Manchester United talent Zoran Tosic to FC. Talking is a loan with subsequent option to purchase. It is this purchase option could be a sticking point. It is conceivable that Manchester wants to commit a correspondingly high amount that the FC would not be willing to pay. Manchester United have finally secure in the event that Tosic is heading to FC and then in the summer of Serbia plays a bomb WM.

Tosic itself should have little interest in the long run to play in a mediocre national league. His self-image should be marked accordingly by the Man Utd deal. Consequently, he is a Serbian newspaper quoted as saying that Cologne was his stepping stone back to Manchester United. Therefore probably Tosic will love even of a call option for the FC bit.

The unsustainability of this transfer is a major reason why the FC should take distance from him. Another important reason might be the team's momentum and fundamentally defensive orientation Soldo.

Tosic preferred offensive plays on the wing or sometimes behind the strikers. Who will he replace? Presumably Fabrice Ehret. Adil Chihi now take out would be more counterproductive. Chihi added to FC a five-year contract and creates just the long-awaited leap. He could make a better long-term FC. Its course to stop now, giving him Tosic's nose is, who can then be gone again in a few months, would be more than clumsy. It would be negligent in the sense of a sustainable, continuous structure.

A Ehret has gained merit in Cologne. He is absolutely loyal and almost always his performance. From sports, but also for emotional reasons, I would see a degradation very, very reluctantly.

fact is that our game with Tosic suddenly much more offensive would be directed. This would almost inevitably be borne by the well-rehearsed defensive tactics. Is it wise to to change without preparation in the middle of the season, the tactical orientation? Nova and Poldi stand on by themselves when they are fit. Chihi allowed to take down not right now. A Tosic, of course not, if he gets a date. Ergo, only 2 were left midfield places, which our portugisieschen divas probably not be taken away. Peasant victims: the also emerging Pezzoni (Yalcin chances of times to mention).

In short, we interfere with a Tosic exchange our own sustainable development, since I assume that Tosic will be leaving us in the summer. Players like Pezzoni Chihi and are clearly on the way up. Likewise, a Yalcin, who at last to the first team range has fought. With them, we hold the class, even without Tosic.

A Tosic exchange only makes sense if you buy an option (~ 4-5 million) which the player agrees should OR if it becomes apparent that Poldi is slow. In all other cases, the FC Tosic will prove a disservice.

Baby Arrival What To Write

first FC Cologne - the zero year

ups and downs between 2000/2001 and 2009/2010.

The Ewald Lienen era (1999-2002)



In the late 90s, takes over the Ewald Lienen lying on the ground first FC Cologne. In the first season of second division club history if you were previously passed under Bernd Schuster almost in the low ranks. Schuster had to go and Lienen modesty, struggle and play culture came back to the Rhine. "Paper-Ewald, the legendary blue shirt, was idolized by fans and led the FC back to the first division.

In May 2000, the rise of the legendary 5-3 victory in Hanover was sealed. It was 1:3 after 60 minutes behind, but suddenly had players like Alex Voigt, Thomas Cichon and Carsten Cullmann, of which one would never expect her footballing eye-opening experience. Just these three clowns, who for years Kölsch the elevator and lumber football ("Cichon, the last Libero) represented turned on that May evening, with their gates in a few minutes the game and set the course to climb. Players who achieve goals otherwise never shot us back to the Upper House. The unworthy slip into the House, he was history.

The following Premier League 2000/2001 season was like a fountain of youth. They played great football, was partly right near the top of the table (7th place in the winter break) and held at the end of the class easily. Christian Timm had one of the best German striker in his own ranks, the "[...] at this time, fortunately, did not know that that was the high point of his career. " (Thistle) . A Injury at the end of the season buried namely any other career aspirations. Timm later found never to return to his Cologne form.

The following year came the same old worries. And if you thought that, in 1998 or Koestner Schuster (one year later) the low points have already been achieved, so you had to let think again. FC broke (not the last) has a negative record for the ages: 1000 minutes without a goal. End of November 2001 was won by FC 2-1 at FC St. Pauli in Hamburg. Then followed ten league games in a row, where they remained scoreless. In the eleventh game against Hertha BSC finished (calculated) Thomas Cichon the Torfluch. The Cichon, otherwise all the balls instinctively the stands of Müngersdorf threshed. After the hit he put on a never-ending cheers broadcast through the stadium. A little excessive, considering that FC knocked off at this time (Round 25) with 16 points was on 18th position.

symbol of this season was totally messed up the DM 6 million transfer from Marco Reich, the most expensive transfer to the club's history and one of the biggest disappointments. Reich said to have been later quoted as saying: "I was the only one who's happy about the euro changeover, because since I was only the 3 million-flop".

Ewald Lienen was the beginning of the second round after a 0-3 at the Munich Lions fired. Friedhelm Funkel ( "a coach that nobody wanted" (Holly) ) had replaced him.

The era scintillating (2002-2004)



The football was scintillating in boring the way the coach itself was scintillating relegation in 2002, despite the winter transfer from Rigobert Song (the only 16 matches played for the FC and is still adored by many fans to this day), not inevitable. We went with glitter in the second division and played a sovereign, but lackluster season 2002/2003 in the site Müngersdorf. The stadium was rebuilt at this time. To goals in this 2. League season, especially Dirk Lott and Matthias Scherz. The gate was clean, the supposed replacement Alex Bade. be called in retrospect, the rise of sovereign with the squad almost a miracle. On 30 Round it was already clear with 12 points ahead of 4th place But then followed until the end of season four unnecessary and embarrassing defeats. Many say that it is already down from a year of re-introduced later.

The Premier League 2003/2004 season started with two seemingly nice transfer. Champions League winners Borussia Dortmund came from Joerg Heinrich, storm jewel Andrej Voronin 05th of Mainz Both should turn out to be serious disappointments. Voronin presented in the second half of the season at all the work and explained that he had no desire to Cologne. Henceforth, he was hated by the fans passionate. A fact that by the announced move to Leverkusen in no way improved.

Funkel had a grace period until 10 Game day. It was with 7 points on 16th place and after a defeat in Frankfurt had to go to the never loved Friedhelm. Assistant coach Jos Luhukay took over at first.

The episode Koller (2003-2004)



A few days later, the Swiss Marcel Koller was introduced that would attempt to provide the league with FC yet. But already its debut (0-4 at VfL Bochum) indicated To: this relationship should not be permanent. Six defeats in a row erupted in the spring of 2004 to the FC in this season finally the neck.

The new striker, the Koller in December from its own U-19 pulled up, could not change that. His name was Lukas Podolski and shot on 16 Gameday in Rostock his first ever Bundesliga goal. Then he gave his very first TV interview whereby the reporter could not even resist a grin. Podolski was the only bright spot in this terrible second half. He got through his easygoing and spectacular natural way, play fast on an absolute favorite. The 18 year old played in 19 games of the season and scored 10 goals (internal and Voronin Lott followed with 4 hits).

FC climbed into the season off with incredibly low 23 points in the first division. Nevertheless, formed at the end of the season, a fan initiative that demanded the whereabouts Koller in Cologne and more continuity. Finally, with the concept of young German players from their own ranks (the second was discovered under Lukas Koller: Lukas Sinkiewicz), but Koller had found some friends in Cologne. The (after much pleading and begging), newly elected new president Wolfgang Overath had other plans however. He dismissed after the season and presented Koller (then sensationally) Huub Stevens as the new coach second division. Under the Idol Overath should now finally be all better. It was said of 5-year plans, sponsors and more ...

The era Stevens (2004-2005)



The launch was first in the pants. Man lost in Burghausen 2:4. But then the FC gathered steam, played great football in phases. The new dream team joke (11 goals) and Poldi (24 goals) dominated the league will. In the return match against Burghausen revenge is for the spoils start to the season with a 8-1 thrashing. The rise in the first division came despite a few minor crises never really in danger, even though the squad was busy terrific bad. We read names that can freeze as an FC fan's blood in his veins: Guie-Mien, Konstantinidis, Lell, Tsiartas, Ebbers, Tököli, Benschneider ... a cabinet of terror. Tsiartas, Greek European champion, was brought to the notice, having just won the World Cup kick. In his short time in Cologne, he has certainly never converted a free kick.

In Stevens but everything seemed to be better. go up, even before he announced after the climb to do. He justified this step at that time with his sick wife in Holland and therefore moved to Roda Kerkrade. The FC was once again in the rain and Overath committed his first serious mistake.

The misunderstanding Rapolder (2005)



today said that Rapolder failed mainly Podolski. The ratio of the two was always shattered. Despite a great season start (3-2 in Stuttgart, Derby victory against Gladbach) it was quickly in a crisis swirls. This probably also completely missed the purchasing policy of "saving fox" Andreas Rettig contributed: Grammozis, Alpay, Schlicke, Zivkovic, Mokhtari, Madsen, Szabics ... they are all on and failed completely to FC and then never again come up.

In Rapolder you broke a new negative record in the League: 17 games in a row without a victory. This is a complete half of the season. In December, after a 2:3 in Bielefeld (to Rapolder old workplace), the misunderstanding after only 17 days, was game over. Rapolder flew Rettig was still on the platform in Bielefeld back from his manager position.

His successor was then quite surprising Michael Meier. In the FC Meier should change extremely. His first act was to pick up initially but, in the winter break, a Swiss.

The nice Bergdoktor Latour (2006)


had the rare FC a sympathetic coach. Rarely successful looser. The good Peter is in Germany never really arrived. But in contrast to "juniper" is the hated and despised in Cologne today, it is called Latour only in a respectful tone. Why is that is hard to say. Perhaps its really friendly, and partly optmistischen childlike-naive charisma.

Latour brought into the winter break, his countrymen Cabanas and Streller to the Rhine. But they could do nothing more. The unprecedented Sieglos series went under the first country doctor more freely. The duration kölsche drunken mob pulled the team happy afterwards in Germany and took exception to the defeats any more. The more frenetic celebrated the totally unexpected 4-2 in Berlin in March 2006. It was like a liberation, not as something held to be possible. Unfortunately, it also drew renewed hope, that the atmosphere was tense at the FC again.

In perhaps the decisive game of the FC lost when it's snowing (after great fight and at least questionable referee performance) with 3:4 at home to Nuremberg. Despite virtually sealed the decline, people were satisfied. They had tried everything. It could not.

Again League 2 The elevator was already well-oiled anyway. They knew each other in the second division stadiums already. It was a little "come home" like.

sadness caused the inevitable changes to Podolski's Bayern. A severe blow to the Cologne soul on the Rhine.

Latour was allowed to potter meantime. He bought the season 2006/2007, again properly. Unknown player from Switzerland and France were called, including Fabrice Ehret. In addition, a Slovenian striker from the Bulgarian league, which nobody had ever heard: Novakovic. Well then ...

The second league season started properly. But after a good start was followed by the invasion, coinciding with the violation of the new storm Kölsch hope: Patrick Helmes. Even with a broken metatarsal, he scored the 1-0 winner against Essen on 5 Round and then dropped a long time. This was followed by seven winless games and finally the dismissal of Latour's still in the first round. First, however, the Cologne

soul in the DFB Cup has been stroked. In the second 04th round, they met at home to a full house at the first division side Schalke The beleaguered in the League Cologne (I was allowed a few days earlier witnessed a dismal 0-0 in Unterhaching) made the game of their lives. Gambino, Broich, Novakovic scored the 4-2 after extra Chihi out in an absolutely memorable game. Many FC fans call this game if they are asked for the best FC game this decade. The atmosphere was amazing. The result is a crazy! Broich was his best game in the FC-Dress.

ran in the league, unfortunately, far worse. Latour was dismissed and Holger Gehrke took over on an interim basis. But behind the scenes of the FC (and hospital) are paved a sensation an ...

The thumb era (2006-2009)




was never longed for a coach in Cologne more. Never has a coach been more celebrated. No more love! Habemus thumb! The FC forum collapsed, the excitement was indescribable. Young children were at his first training session held against.

The Messiah thumb was finally returned to Cologne!

But Daum had to quickly realize that he had miscalculated. He did not know the second division. His winter transfers were all flops (Luciano, Andre Johnson, Tiago, Serhat Akin). The rise could not reach it. The 2006/2007 season was a lost year. Was the low point for RW Essen 0:5 on Carnival Sunday. Any other coach would have been called into question. Not so Daum. On the contrary, we had hoped and fearful that he would not use its six-month exit right.

was during the new season 2007/2008, the route clear: either move or thumb goes. The climb had not banished the FC probably permanently in the second division. You moved it on the edge financially feasible.

With McKenna and Mohamad, they took great defender of the Rhine. With Mondragon and Ümit Özat even real stars, which would be without the name Daum never switched to second division Cologne. Willing to change the helmet, which many fans prefer would have been sent into the desert, was forced by Daum to stay. The undisciplined Novakovic (drunk-driving after Christmas market) has been under the thumb to the absolute goal scorer. Helmes and frequently shoot Nova FC together with 37 goals in the first division. However, it remained an uphill climb. Perhaps the most difficult and most important of all the recent rises.

Stalled Again and again. The FC had a hard, often played badly. Until 25 Match was held in a major victory over labor in the Mondy a penalty and scored a Jahrhunderttor Antar, set a course for promotion. With the victory of FC climbed to the 4th Place. A heart-stopping end of the season against fellow competitors Hoffenheim Mainz and forced his at. And when it arrived, the FC was there! In really, really nasty games Hoffenheim, Mainz and Augsburg were niedergefightet (3:1, 3:1 and 2:0). Symbol of this struggle was the Cologne Suazo, who beat the hated Eduardo out with an illegal, but not penalized head butt even a tooth. The fans wanted to see FC: absolute dedication, no matter how!

The ascent party was exhilarating and larger than Wolfsburg's championship celebration a year later. Daum These were out at FC new conditions. And how Genscher in Prague at that time, thumb, against pre Geißbockheim midnight and announced, I'll stay! The Express-Ticker to this event is legendary!

With thumb in the first division! 2008/2009.

Illustrious names such as Petit and Wome were taken. This is a real transfer Pops: Pedro Geromel. But the collapse of Ümit Özat FC on Matchday first brought the concept. First the hammer against Schalke and the subsequent Derby win in Gladbach brought back to FC in the lane. The class was ultimately sovereign, but also kept unspectacular. It was revealed playful poverty, which was compensated by a good defense and an outstanding Nova.

recorded in the association, from a steady way up. The structures were clearly improved. And: Lukas Podolski could after a tough, long struggle for months with Bayern zurückgelotst to the Rhine be. Nothing had engaged the fans this time more than the dream that was finally a reality.

But there was a rude awakening: thumb adopted in a cloak-and-dagger operation as a complete surprise to Turkey and will from now on the same persona non grata in Cologne. An emotional return to the club and fans to this day still sick and suffering, even if there are not many like to admit.

The era Soldo (2009 -?)




The Stalking took over the FC. Inexperienced, but a beacon of former companions. The anti-Daum. Soldo had a substantially assume incorrectly assembled squad of Meier. His influence in the boardrooms of the society is compared to thumb probably low. Many fear that the thumb of (and against the clique) made structures are reduced slowly. The delicious pocket faction Glowaczs and Engels could regain more influence. Those people, the decline of the FC in the zero years, co-founded. A re-Klüngelisierung would be the death knoll for the FC. All the evidence at present then: Overath was confirmed with 90% in office, criticism was barely loud.

You could blame a lot of thumb, but not that he had not had the absolute will to win. He wanted the club to the top . Bring Many say he is also gone because he does not realize his vision was at FC. I prophesy times that this view will prevail in the future. In particular, when the FC should again fall into the elevator. A scenario that can be excluded by the poor first round in any case.

gives me hope that we have not touched Soldo, when it ran last longer than bad. The good defense can again make sure that you hold the class. But what then? Where are the visions that characterized a thumb. Soldo speaks seldom. And if he has visions, then you do not know whether he will have the standing and the means to implement it at FC.

To be honest, it's not too much to suggest that the coming decade will be significantly better than the last. The FC has missed the connection. In the boom years, when the TV money exploded, the FC was not there. The gap you will not catch up so quickly. Perhaps thumb underestimated this fact also and was too ambitious. You do not know.

a plan for the future, I see at present. Only Podolski and Geromel are small promise of a secure future. Transfers such as Maniche help in this regard but no further. You might even hurt more. A young, homogeneous team to Poldi and Geromel, with the coach Soldo ... would ever be a first step. One waits with baited breath be.
