I Started in Munich, Germany. There, I was a janitor at a school in Munich, and according to the local referee group in use. The tournament Format has charmed us all from the beginning, even if it is initially gone a bit bumpy. Playful Bavaria and Sixty far ahead of that time.

in The end, won the boys, and I’ve increased the betting debt that the whole team rubber has snakes. That was a hell of a Hello, and the boy was happy to see that you have won against the referee. At the same time, colleagues have teased that I have of the kids got hit, but that didn’t bother me at all.

I was on father’s day at the circuit finale in Bad Tölz in use. In the last game, I have pain in the knee can get, the I could not explain to me. So I’m right by the football field to Miesbach to Günther Friedl in the practice. I told him he should not talk long, and no time to lose, because the following weekend at the circuit finale in wooden churches. “I can’t go as a civilian to my Merkur-CUP-farewell”, I sharpen him, and that I need to get to the place, even if you give me a ride then with the Choice home. But he has fixed me up in good time, and I was pain-free from the opening game until the final whistle
“football three”
After their farewell after 25 years, mercury CUP, you wanted to heuer at the end of June their last game whistle is missing me. Now Corona has come in between. What are you gonna do without football?
Every couple of years, I flatter myself, to make my new garden. I had enough time. The garden is now really good. Football three I’m missing now is but high. To whistle a is Yes. But normally, you can go always to a game, and at least from the outside, in the middle. And with the arbitrators, I have to stop now, even a year would do it.
