Le Grand OTP moments :)

[the_muppet]

I had to pay £3 via uefa.com to watch this match and it was worth every penny  :)  Not just because Werder Bremen won, but also for the couple of times Le Grand OTP couldn't stay away from each other even though they were on opposing sides  ;)

First time was in the tunnel when they were all waiting to come out.  Torsten (as captain) was at the front of the Werder players, but conspicuously kept looking over his shoulder at the row of Chelsea players next to him, then looking forward again.  Then looking back again for a few seconds then forward.  After doing this a few times he obviously spotted his target because he turned and walked away from the front of his team and back towards the Chelsea players, whilst at the same time someone walked out of the middle of the Chelsea line ~ Torsten and Micha greeted each other happily then went back to where they should be ..... but Torsten still kept looking over his shoulder at Micha, right up until they walked out onto the pitch!

Second time was when Micha was injured in the 2nd half.  As he sat on the ground and was being treated, all you could see was a Werder player stood next to him the whole time  ;)  Couldn't see any Chelsea players around, but maybe that was just the camera angle ~ or maybe they just realised he was in safe hands  ;)  Torsten then bent down and ruffled his hair a bit before Micha was took off the pitch.  That was so damn sweet  :)

Yep, worth every penny  :)

Though I really must either resist the urge to pay for and watch every Werder Bremen game, or find someone with Sky Sports who will let me watch them!

EDIT:  Then Deb phoned .... she saw the 200th episode of SG1 for the first time tonight so we both spent a few minutes squeeing over our evenings then laughing at ourselves!  :D

I suddenly have an irresistable urge to watch football. This is totally bewildering!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

LOL! :D

That is exactly what happened to me :) I would read post after post in Ma'hal's LJ then suddenly I was hooked too ~ it's all the slashy pairings in the German national team, they're adorably cute ;)

[ms-3m.livejournal.com]

You soooo make me laugh.
Glad you got to see your boys 'in action'.

{{hugs}}

I really ought to go to bed but I'm still too hyper to sleep! *g*

*big happy hugs*

[ms-3m.livejournal.com]

I was re-reading your post. It cost you less to see this game than it does for us to go see a movie at the theater -at the bargain matinee price. +popcorn+drink I would say that the game was a bargain. And it was waaay more fun I'm sure.

:)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Absolutely :)

And now I've seen it (and am still pretty hyper!) I'm absolutely sure it was a complete and utter bargain ;)

And apart from the cutely slashy Le Grand OTP moments, I did also get to see Torsten running around (on his birthday) which made me very happy indeed ;)

XDD

i cant believe how similar your grand OTP ramblings are to the ones i left on my journal. LOL. great minds think alike...XD

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It was just so great though, wasn't it?!

They're so damn adorable when they can't stay away from each other, even when on opposing teams ;)

Aaw, that is cute! :)

Y'know I spoke to my Polar Bear on the phone this evening...

PB: I saw the Chelsea match at the pub.
Me: Oh yeah! Werder Bremen! Ah, that's so unfair!
PB: Why is it unfair?
Me: *thinks to self: wtf? I don't care about this match!!!*
Me: What was the score?
PB: 1-0 Werder Bremen
Me: Yay!
PB: Yay?
Me: Erm... y'know it's Torsten's birthday today.
PB: Frings? Really? Why do you know that?
Me: Erm... was Ballack playing for Chelsea?
PB: Yeah, why?
Me: Aaw. They're friends!
PB: Really?
Me: Yeah...
PB: How do you know? Why do you know?!

:)

...and now Werder Bremen just need a draw with Barcelona. NOT THAT I CARE OR ANYTHING.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_gater_/]

*in Barcelona - still, not that I care or anything

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's a match I really do and don't want to see :/

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, they're definitely friends ;)

Course you care .... really you do :)

[rebelstrike21.livejournal.com]

That is so adorable. :)
Le Grand OTP lives on!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It was so damn sweet ~ they just can't help themselves, can they ;)

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

Awww awwww awwww @ the scenes you described! *wants to see them too*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Yep, I'm still grinning like a dork almost 24 hours later and still re-running it all in my head.

Worth every single penny :)

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

Someone needs to upload those two scenes somewhere. (They would be perfect for a vid, too" :D)

Well, I was preparing my muscle-ache right when they were playing. ;)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

If you do find them anywhere, let me know ;)

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

Someone posted them over in manndecker.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I saw the head rubbing one was posted, but not the tunnel one. I will go recheck but I'm usre it was just the one on the pitch.

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

Don't bother, there wasn't the tunnel one. That is, it might be on the big file of the match, but it wasn't posted as single file.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Shame, cos that one was really cute ~ I wish you could see it :)

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too! :-/

I could use it for vids too. *g* Not that more than three people actually watch them... but ... *lol*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm sure more than three people do! Besides, consider yourself a pioneer of footie vids ~ later on when loads of people are making them I will say "yeah, that vid was OK, but not as good as the old school vids by Ma'hal ;)

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

I'm not so sure. For one I posted it friends-only anyway... and I think all my friends would have told me if they had watched it. And about three people in total did that. I guess its simply not everybody's cup of tea. *shrugs*

A pioneer of footie vids. Now I'm touched. :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Well, it's up to you whether you chose to believe me or not.

When I wanted to show Gater what I thought were amongst the best McShep vids out there, a fair few on the CD I sent were yours.

And now I also regulalry watch your Walking On Sunshine footie vid and the other one (perfect slash song?) one, which I love loads and am hoping that when I eventually get to chat with you on Skype, you'll share those clips! :P

You're very good at editing vids, whatever genre :)

*hugs*

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

Thank you again. *blushes* :D

I wish there was more in football fandom with which you could work...

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Well, just so long as you actually believe me know! I'd be very disappointed if you stopped making vids ~ there are so few people who can make vids I enjoy to watch over and over ~ smooth editing whilst keeping a vid enjoyable is a rare skill and you have it :)

And I think that's enough praise for you for today! :P

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

Nah, I could never stop making vids...! Which reminds me that I was thinking of posting some videos I started but never finished (and don't intend to finish)... do you think people would be interested in them? They are SGA vids.

There is never too much praise. ;)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Well, firstly, why aren't you going to finish them? And what do you mean by 'unfinished'. If you've made enough to make them watchable vids then yeah, post them, definitely :)

[taelonmahal.livejournal.com]

Well, they are sort of half-finished, but there are still some serious glitches in them. Ah, well, I think I'll post them anyway.
