Rot Weiss or my brother's wedding?


"Rot Weiss oder die Hochzeit meines Bruders"

Essen's victory over Kaiserslautern in the German Cup has left me with a difficult decision to make.

With the next round of the cup taking place on the last weekend in January - should I go to the game or attend my brother's wedding back in England scheduled for January 29th?

I'll let you decide so please add your thoughts in the comment section. If we had been playing Schalke the decision would have been alot easier.

One point in my favour about staying for the game against Hamburger SV is that technically it is not his wedding. He married last week in California or somewhere and this day at Blackpool is just a place for him to celebrate with family and friends. 1-0.

The celebration takes place in Blackpool. Not the most glamorous of locations and I always thought the place smelt of chips (Pommes). 2-0.

He's my brother. 2-1

I don't really like weddings. I usually get put on a boring table and end up discussing insurance while the evening function is normally a banal affair accompanied by dreadful cheesy disco music. 3-1

My brother will no doubt do his 'breakdance' routine. 5-1.

  4. Don't bet on it! I go for the wedding. Free food and music (?) - it could be poor.

  7. Go to your brother´s wedding!
    The match of the Club is important... -yes... but there are a lot of other chances to watch another match. Your brother´s wedding is only one time.

    You´ll decide the right way ;)
    I´m sure.

  12. Four reasons to go for the wedding:

    1)There will be no more van der Vaart in January (and so no Sylvie on the terrace :-(
    2) It'll be cold and rainy like in OB
    3) We'll kick them out of the Cup with an unspectacular 1-0 defeat
    4) There will be FC Meineid on our way to Berlin and your brother will pay the tickets .......
