Hertha Berlin's team bus has been shot at on the eve of a German Cup match.

The Bundesliga club say  the bus was fired at by a motorcyclist in Bielefeld in north-west Germany but added that no-one was injured.

Hertha are staying near Bielefeld before their first-round tie with German second division side Arminia Bielefeld on Monday night.

Only the driver was on board at the time of the shooting and police are now investigating.

The vehicle was travelling from the team hotel to pick the players up from Bielefeld Central Station.

Hertha say the motorcyclist had overtaken the bus and threatened the driver "with his fist", before turning and pointing a gun at the bus and the driver.

Pictures from the club show the windscreen of the bus with a bullet hole.

Hertha chief executive Michael Preetz said: "We are deeply shocked and hope that the perpetrators will be caught. Luckily our bus driver got off with a fright."

Sadly I've met quite a few American soccer fans who first became interested in the sport because of that movie.

 

I met one in New York in June. :lol: We recommended him The Firm.

 

Hopefully the original?

Every American I've ever met* has mentioned Green Street. They're floored when I tell them I haven't seen it.

 

*yes. Every single one of them. Fuck you.

 

There was a guy I worked with that would mention it every time I talked about football. He'd ask what I was doing later that day and I'd say "just playing some soccer" and he'd go "Oh did you ever see that movie, Green Street Hooligans?" if I said I'd be watching footy later that day he'd go "ahh, like that movie, Green Street Hooligans, right?" It would be like clockwork. Couldn't actually tell whether he was fucking with me or not.

 

I saw a little of the movie a few months ago and the acting was god awful. Charlie Hunnam's cockney accent is worse than when Americans try to do a joke one.

Exactly the same here.

 

I refuse to see it just because of this, one friend in particular is still singing Forever Blowing Bubbles just because he loved the movie six years ago.
