A thank you letter, fireworks at the wrong time and something new about Michael Köllner's expensive Christmas wish.
Three lion topics that people or fans talk about.
Christmas letter
The lions reacted with some pride to the UNESCO decision to include the “sports club culture based on the common good” in the list of intangible cultural heritage.
"The beginnings of sports clubs go back more than 200 years - TSV Munich from 1860 has been an active part of it for almost as long," writes the executive committee in a letter to the 24,000 members.
In addition, the lines written by Robert Reisinger and his two deputies say: "Thank you very much for your commitment during the past year under the sign of Leo.
Whether as a volunteer trainer, trainer and official in the amateur departments, as a full-time or part-time employee at the office, as an athlete or as a supporting member - your passion, your commitment,
Your creativity and innovative strength make our association significant.
(...) Today, the lions are among the 30 largest sports clubs in Germany.
At TSV Munich from 1860 we do sports together, cheer as fans, create social spaces, provide a wide range of offers for all age groups, promote personality development and maintain our club culture.
In short: we contribute to the common good in our society.” In other words: the special lion feeling makes the people in Giesing as happy as the Bavarian white sausage, which has already been proposed for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Christmas transfer
Will Michael Köllner get his hoped-for newcomer No. 10?
Current status: It's going to be tight as a Christmas present, but it could work out until the coach's birthday on December 29th.
What is fixed is that a loyal sponsor has agreed to finance Mister X.
Now it's the committee's turn and they have to decide: Is the sporting or the economic performance more important at the end of the season?
The former is to be assumed.
In any case, sports director Günther Gorenzel only needs the "go" to finalize the talks.
Our newspaper knows: The tendency is now to invest in a top executive, after the squad was strengthened more broadly in the summer.
Fireworks
New Year's Eve is only a few days away, but the active fan scene didn't want to wait that long.
There were fireworks in the blocks not only once in the first 17 games - it blazed particularly intensely in the 1: 4 in Elversberg - which now has an expensive aftermath.
The "misconduct of the fans" (DFB), which also includes throwing cups, costs the third division club 28,400 euros, the equivalent of almost three player's monthly salaries.
Pyro-skeptics have been waiting for an official reprimand from the club's management for a long time, but the topic is too sensitive for that.
The internal attitude is: cup throws don't work at all - but neither do pyro penalties (because they affect almost all professional clubs).
For the Ultras, the case is clear: a controlled burning of Bengalos must be possible.
Because from their point of view it's a piece of fan culture - even if it's not on the UNESCO list.
