Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Both of them Anass Hamite's — 8.65
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.65, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The wait goes on for Heidenheim
7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

7 goals as Heidenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt go for it

Tempers go at Heidenheim
Jamie Schuldes was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The manager makes an example of Sil van der Wegen
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
