*Apologies again this is a few days later than planned. As you may hear, there's been a bit of an issue with the recording. I've done my best to fix it, but unfortunately some chat is already out of date. I'll spend the summer break finding a new provider! Mark, Bas, Conny, Don, & Kyle are back…

70: Lia Kamber Fan Club
Mark, Bas, Conny, & Kyle are back for this episode of Mattuschka's Right Peg. While it wasn't quite the fairytale outcome for Marie-Louise Eta and 1. FC Union Berlin against Wolfsburg and the construct, at least in the former there was some positive signs for the men's side. The women returned…

Mark, Conny, Don, & Kyle are back for this episode of Mattuschka's Right Peg. You wouldn't think we'd finally won a game in 2026 on the basis of this episode, but the tremendous result against Leverkusen for 1. FC Union Berlin was followed up by two stinkers against Mönchengladbach and Bremen....
-
66: Horrible in Hamburg

-
65: Not In Our Name
Mark, Bas, Conny, Don, & Kyle are back for this episode of Mattuschka's Right Peg. The last three games for the men take a bit of a backseat, as depressingly, friends of ours were subject to a racially motivated attack at what's supposed to be an 'union' boozer following the Dortmund game.…
