Hansa Rostock vs. Hannover 96: Missing minute’s silence for Elli Paetow
24,500 spectators in the Ostseestadion – among them around 1,500 easy to take away fans – mostly wanted to see another home win for their Hanseatic League. On September 1st, the player market was still spinning, so Hansa suddenly loaned three new players from “Rudis Resterampe”.
I immediately ordered a new Hansa jersey and it now says “borrowed” on the back. This is probably the current way in the “FRG professional league”, instead of developing players, new players are bought and thrown away. In autumn, not only do many leaves fall, but also the first trainers, because they have to deliver points immediately…
Back to the beloved Ostseestadion, where there was a minute’s silence before the game. However, not for our club member Elli Paetow, who died at the age of 101, but for the victims of the assassination attempt at Olympia in Munich in 1972. What’s the point of something like that? I would have preferred to have held a minute’s silence for Gorbi, because we also have a Bundesliga game between Hansa and Hanover to thank for that. The North 9A and South then hear Elli with a wallpaper. Demonstrated sensitivity.
Briefly on the sporting side: Hannover was on our feet from the start, so Rostock only appeared dangerously once in front of the guest goal in the first half. Hannover 96 were better and the penalty was okay from my point of view, but a 0-1 draw at half-time gave us hope.
Despite our Hanseatic attack and many chances, there was unfortunately no more goal for Hansa. The visiting fans loudly celebrated the away win and are looking forward to their derby against BTSV. PS: We’ll win our next home game against 1. FC Magdeburg, because then Fiete will come along again. Ahoy from Rostock!
