maybe lets not talk about the first half. The action on the pitch kinda represented the stands. Terrific 10 Minutes and the rest….. anything happened?

But

the second half

couse srsly

After the red card and the 1:3 there was this moment… you could literally feel how the team and the stadium reared up, how they just refused to accept the loss. It was loud. It was banging. This wouldn’t have happened last season. And it will never happen with… “clubs” like RB Leipzg. Ten thousands of people screaming, whistling, hopping… (sometimes when everyone’s hopping I stop for a few seconds, close my eyes and just focus on the shaking ground beneath me because there are few things more imposing than this giant and massive structure of steel and concrete moving up and down because of sheer manpower.) … so intense, that you can physically feel the will to turn this thing around.

And after the match. After the final whistle. When the insults after the final whistle are like 10 times louder than everything the opponent – who just friggin won a thrilling match – can ever come up with… Dudes. I probably got goosebumps because of second hand embarrassment. How could they actually dare to use the iceland celebration? How could they have the audacity? Some (*cough* most *cough*) most of the stuff that’s sang in the stadium is faaar from being…. socially acceptable. But it never felt more proper than in this situation.  

On our way to the city we actually had to pass the procession of Leipzig custumors who were shielded by heavily armed police forces and… I was shocked. It was a funeral procession. Silence. No songs, no happiness, no euphoria. I wanted to shake them, wanted to scream at them… “Why are you doing this to us? Why are you treating this beautiful sport like that? Why are you here, why are you forcing us to listen to your ignorant views and watching your stupid behaviors?” (Then I insulted them. And of course by shouting “Alle Bullen sind Schweine!” (“All bulls are pigs!”, referring to Red Bull of course, but “Bull” is also a common insult for cops in germany that might actually get you in real trouble.) we only addressed the Leipzig-Fans :) )

And lets not even start with the media… I mean… that’s not critical journalism anymore. Thats just propaganda by now…

They’ll never dance and sing in a smoky snack bar till three in the morning after a loss. They’ll never discuss heatedly with pigheaded people of their own club attempting to improve the situation for the fans. They’ll never get goosebumps while telling or listening to the stories collected through the years and years of traveling, fighting, praying, screaming, celebrating, fearing, crying, laughing and cheering for their club.

4.2.2017 Borussia Dortmund - RB Leipzig:

Man what an okay 10 minute episode, there were 30 other minutes right?

Ok but seriously.... What the hell Belle.... You are ready to jump down Emma’s throat but everything is fine and dandy in your mind with Rumple? Really? You’re gonna compare them. Especially in front of Killian, your friend?, you are comparing his true love to his sworn enemy. That makes sense since they both took on the darkness for the exact same reasons, and are the exact same people so exactly the same..... 

She was all over the place, was it writing or is it in fact her character? 

You know I can understand people saying Belle should have pulled out the sword, but honestly I wouldn’t have been happy with that at all, but I wouldn’t be as mad with rumple.

Seriously you are going to redeem Rumple like that when he didn’t have a choice in the removal of the darkness and when he was forced into being a hero? I get it but it pisses me off. And I don’t like his line too of: thats because none of the heroes are me (saying he’s gonna stop her. I can’t)

And now I wonder, I see the theory that Killian may come to share the darkness with Emma... I’ll be so fucking pissed if he is the villain wielding excalibur against rumple on the Jolly Roger. Like, what the actual fuck.

Make Emma and Killian into villains? When they both would be taking on the darkness to literally save everyone from it?  I don’t like it.

but we don’t know that for sure, however that’s what I’ll be telling myself so i can’t be disappointed if it does happen. 

God I hope they have a good explination for rumple. He is not on the same level as the other heroes.

Whelp my expectations were low, but now they are even lower after this episode. I guess maybe I should be thanking this episode? Put me back in my place. 

Well, having said that, I am excited for next week’s episode. At least I know there is one scene i’ll like. and this week the only things that happened was the hottest dungeon raid ever and captain cobra never giving up on Emma and Zelena. You know those were actually all very good moments. so nothing else in that ep... nope! And now to only focus on those.
