The man on the microphone should be a DJ and a diplomat or just soberly announce the line-up and goal scorers.
FC Moosinning experienced in Rosenheim how someone exaggerated their role.
He was spat on five minutes earlier, and now the Moosinninger striker Maxi Lechner also got the message when he was substituted: "It's number 11 at Moosinning, who should have been sent off earlier." And everyone heard it , because it came from the stadium announcer of SB DJK Rosenheim.
He had already fueled the mood, as FCM boss Karl Thumbs says.
Unfortunately, the man not only had a microphone for this, but also the BFV app, which he used to tick sentences like: "So far, the guests have been playing like a hacker squad."
Sorry, but we're not used to something like that in the district.
Sure, here too the stadium announcer announces the opponent's goals with the weary enthusiasm of a Munich tram driver.
But other than that, he's holding back.
Outliers are rare.
Altenerding's longtime football boss Hans Balbach once went through the nag when he called into the microphone: "Referee, it was offside!" Not even the legendary Gerhard Brülbeck, who died much too early, found it funny, who otherwise confidently smiled away disputes.
The referee reacted even more grumpily in ice hockey when the Erdinger stadium announcer announced a time penalty like this: “The referee thinks that it was a foul.” The referee then shot at him: “You say what I tell you.
Otherwise you're out!"
Finsings Thomas Bonnet was already out or without a microphone this year – by the way, also in the game against Rosenheim.
The technology had failed, so the good man tried it unplugged.
Standing under the roof of the stands, he shouted the line-up through the stadium.
"He tried it for a minute - and then gave up," says Robert Hartmann with a laugh.
Franz "Hacky" Dellel, who has been stadium announcer at TSV Wartenberg since 1995, is also grappling with the technology.
Back then, loudspeakers were mounted on the floodlight masts, and the cable from there was buried 25 meters into the equipment room to the sports center.
"So he always had to rush back to the equipment room for the announcements," recalls spokesman Thomas Rademacher, praising the meticulous man.
Before games against Greek or Turkish teams, Dellel prepares at home.
And he already knows the name of the best Attaching striker in his sleep: Imouroine Ouro-Agouda.
But that's a crux with the names.
And so do the professionals.
The stadium announcer in the Olympic Stadium, Oberdinger Tom Forster remembers, once announced the Chicago Beers instead of the Chicago Bears.
And when Eichenrieder Jeremy Bauer was recently substituted on, the Walpertskirchen spokesman reported it like this: "With the number 16 comes...." Long pause.
"...Kerstin Bauer." Since then, the Eichenried soccer player has been nicknamed Kerstin, as Stefan Huber tells us.
He is not only the chairman of the SVE, but also the stadium announcer.
Last weekend he started three times to greet.
"The first time I was interrupted by 1-0, the second time by 2-0.
It worked the third time.”
Whom would something like that never upset?
Definitely the Ottenhofen stadium announcer, who has been doing his job with confidence for many years under his stage name "Gieb".
It may just be that there was an “unexplained absence from work” because of a fun evening before, as department head Benjamin Settles puts it with a wink.
But you forgive the good man, who obviously has a good feeling for the right music.
"Then he hits a German hit and manages to keep the spectators a half or two longer."
The right music - that's a science in itself anyway, which we want to deal with next week.
Because: It all depends on the right tone.
Greetings to Rosenheim.
