Quick update
As I’m somewhat busy with university stuff right now, just a quick update. After three matches Magdeburg’s situation remains unchanged, they are still 6 points behind non-relegation. This weekend Magdeburg travel to Lübeck, facing the only tier III team in Germany that did not apply for a tier III license for next season. Winning is [...]
A good start is not a great start
And actually, it is not a start at all. If it is anything start-ish, it is a restart when the German leagues slowly get back into action after the winterbreak. The winterbreak is a sensible thing…bah, who am I kidding? This winterbreak had one great advantage for FC Magdeburg: New manager Paul Linz had 6 [...]
We can turn things round
Today, for the first time since December, FC Magdeburg’s first team was involved in a competitive match. Since that 1-2 defeat in Cottbus, a number of things have changed in the club.

Danny Kukulies was gone, of course, having joined TeBe in the break. In his stead, Magdeburg has [...]
Indoor champions
Last Saturday, the NOFV held its annual Indoor Championship at Riesa in Saxony. This is indoor footy, not futsal, of course. All Regionalliga teams from the NOFV territory were “invited” to participate (there’s not really a way not to take part…) and so six teams competed in two groups of three: Cottbus II, Rot-Weiß-Erfurt and [...]
