    Wilson, Mark, Bas & Kyle are back to reflect on the most incredible of afternoons as Union Berlin qualified for European football in the most incredible fashion. We cover events outside the ground after the game, with insights as to what it was like on the ground. Kyle introduces us to the "2. Bundesliga of European football" in the UEFA Europa Conference League, and we speculate ahead to how the team may look next season. Of course, some of this is old news now, as it was recorded the Monday after the last matchday, Kyle is blaming 'celebrations' as to why it took 10 days for the episode to come out. Complaints can (and should) be sent his way on twitter Matchday highlights in English (you know you want to watch them for the millionth time) can be found here If you wish to keep in touch with the Podcast over the summer you can here, Wilson can be found here, Bas here, and the website is here As always thanks to Die Wallerts for the intro and to you for listening! Hopefully you've enjoyed following along with us this season as much as we've enjoyed making the podcast, we'll see you all after the break where we'll see Union in Europe! UNVEU

    Welcome to Episode Three of Mattuschka's Right Peg, a podcast in English about 1. FC Union Berlin. Sometimes there's issues that transcend football, so it was only appropriate we cover #BlackLivesMatter in the first section of the podcast. We look at it from an Union perspective, covering some of the strong voices that have come out of the club in the last fortnight, and experiences on the terraces. We all must do better. In this episode Wilson, Mark & Kyle were joined by Bas, another member of the Union In Englisch group. We also cover VSG Altglienicke, a neighbour club of Union, who had been flying high in Regionalliga Nordost (German 4th tier) before Corona took hold. We then reflect on Borussia Mönchengladbach, and look ahead to Schalke on Sunday.
