In our newest episode, we have a look at the away game in Dortmund (neat), the away game in the cup in Darmstadt (also neat), the home game against Raba in an unusually quiet Olympiastadion (not very neat) and we also have to talk about the reactions to the flares and violence in Dortmund (not […]

DMTF014 – Old or New Hertha?
Here we are again with out latest Hertha podcast in English. Well Simónir tends to gabble a bit but that’s not a separate language. In this, our third episode of the 2018/19 season, we discuss the away game in Mainz and the home game against Freiburg and then get lost in other ramblings (again). Chapter […]
DMTF014 – Who is this team?
After a bit of a break Jan and Simonir return to wonder who this team is that appear to have emerged from the shadows. They’re wearing Blue and White although we’re not sure who they are. Having said this we”re warming to them! 00h 00m 10s – Hello 00h 00m 48s – Anthems before 1. FC […]
A break in tradition
The night before the game against FC Nürnberg we had a little bit of a shock. It appears unnamed individuals from Hertha informed the umbrella organisation for the Ostkurve (Förderkreis-Ostkurve) that they were going to change the format of the pre-kickoff build up. Instead of finishing with everyone singing the traditional “Nur nach Hause” before […]
DMTF012 – Here we go again!
In the lead up to the new season SImonir is “home alone” whilst Jan jets off and suns himself in the Costas – lucky Jan. None of the normal banter on this occasion other than when Simónir starts talking to himself! In this episode we kick off introducing the listener to the new 2018/19 Bundesliga […]
DMTF010 – Four people and an LVP
Well Hertha fans, now have just two games to play in the 2017/18 season. One away game against Hannover ’96 and then the fizzy drinks company in Berlin on the last day. Before these last two games, Hertha came up with some thrills, then spills and finally a creditable fightback to give us something to […]
DMTF009 – 1,000 goals and a Fleischwolf
This weeks home game had our committed and professional reporters living in hope as they arrived at the stadium on a day that was not quite as pleasant as the weather forecasters and indeed Hertha had us believe. Following this advice about not needing long sleeves Simonir turned up in his shirt and shorts as […]
DMTF008 – One Goal Doesn’t Make A Summer
In this week’s episode Jan and Simon celebrate Easter Monday after braving the elements of the weekend in Berlin. The skies over Berlin (Der Himmel über Berlin – a cracking film by the way) threw everything from glorious spring sunshine to miserable drizzle to freezing sleet. It was hard to tell what season we were […]
DMTF007 – Hertha and the Disappearing Goal Threat
This episode of the Don’t Mention The Fussball Podcast looks back at the long distant memory of Hertha scoring a goal in the light of the last three games against: Bayern, Munich (Away), Schalke/Gelsenkirchen and SC Freiburg. Over this period we endured in excess of 392 minutes of football without Hertha finding the net. So, […]
DMTF005 – With Precarious Technical Difficulty
Here we are back again with our fifth episode where we deal with the technical difficulties of remote pod casting as a result of Simónir being first in Spain and then in England. This posed considerable difficulties for a couple of guys who not only know very little about football but also, it appears, making […]
