Hi everyone. If you like extreme closeups of rusty railings then oh boy THIS is the video for you. To everyone else... er yeah sorry about that :) - You can see all the goals from this game, without railings, in the official highlights: czcams.com/video/8Ik-amyhXoc/video.html - The official FIFA channel has a great little video with interviews & more about the story of the club: czcams.com/video/mGFTRqfnyIE/video.html Thank you!
Interesting video, but Red Star FC isn't the oldest football club in Paris, that honor goes to the Standard Athletic Club, a British Social Club formed in 1890 by young British workers who were in Paris building the Eiffel tower. They won the first ever French football championship in 1894. Today they're mostly playing for fun on Sunday mornings, as far as I can tell from their website, but they're still somewhat active.
What they says is not "referee, referee we strongly question the integrity...." In French they say "Flic, arbitre ou militaire , qu'est ce qu'on ferai pas pour un salaire " so in English it would be something like "Cop, Referee or Military, what we would do for a salary...."
"referee! referree! We strongly question the integrity of your performance!". I lost it. Being french, I must say that it's quite a polite way to put it
I went to a soccer match once with my dad. When we got home my mum asked me, all but 5 years old, how it was and I replied "The ones in the red shirts were good, the ones in the blue shirts were bad, and the ones in the black shirts were !@#$ !@##holes. " That was the last time I got to go, for some reason.
It truly is a radio mast! If you use TNT, basically french dish TV, The Tour Eiffel is a radio mast. Every once in a while it gets cleaned and the local Paris doesn't get anymore TNT.
I love watching lower league scottish football. This is the best football content I've seen since covid. I properly felt that excitement of visiting an old charming stadium. I'm feeling very exciting for the leagues starting back in October. A Hampden Park filled to the brim with near 600 socially distancing Queen's Park fans. It's going to be crazy. I can't wait. Note to any travelling football fans. This coming season is the last time you'll get to see Queens play games at Hampden Park. We're moving into Lesser hampden next year. I might visit France before the year is out. I definitely want to visit Red Star now.
I'm an Italian living in Paris since a year. I've been 6-7 times to watch Red Star, the atmosphere is crazy. It's just the worst football I've ever watched (and I regularly go to watch lower divisions), but there's much much more than that. So I highly suggest you to go one time. Love football, love Red Star
I wish I could go to lower division games in Europe. But I live in the states, so I can't really go anywhere. But my favorite soccer team is America's Favorite Third Tier English Soccer team, AFC Wimbledon.
I went to Hampden to see Queens Park play Albion Rovers. A crowd of just over 500 in a lovely stadium. Before that I was lucky enough to catch an under 16s match on Lesser Hampden between Queens and Inverness..... I managed to get chatting to the head of the academy who showed me into the Pavillion (apparently the oldest building in the world used continuously for football activity). There was a little hall of fame and hearing about the club origins and (until this season) their amateur status I felt so privileged to get the guided tour. Queens are the oldest club in Scotland and it needs to be looked after and cherished. The visit was part a challenge I had set myself to see a match at the oldest clubs in each UK country in a season. I'd already been to Cliftonville and Cefn Druids. It was a brilliant little foray north of the border 🙂
0:51 Great music choice, I love it. Who else remembers when Tim visited San Marino and watched their football team? They would win the World Cup if Tim was their coach
You've missed a few but yes :) My ultimate goal is to make this the world's best football, trains, mountains, weird frontiers, abandoned buildings, fake buildings, conveyor belts and sewage plants CZcams channel
@@TheTimTraveller New goal - combine them all into one video! A football match on a train that's supposed to stop at a station-but the station is a fake,. Its been abandoned because it was too long! Now its above a sewage plant, and the effluent is carted across 3 borders via a conveyor belt through the mountains...but we're not here to see any of that!
me at 1:40: damn what's that music. I know I heard it before! me after ten minutes of desperatey trying to figure out what it is: "I love QI, I love the Timtraveller, I love Geoff Marshall, I love Jay Foreman, I love Vicky Pipe, I love Tom Scott, I love the youtube algorithm for creating this comfy bubble for me, I'm gonna listen to the QI intro for twenty minutes now😂
I have never for the life of me understood the appeal of attending a football match (mostly because the only ones I've seen are the massive televised ones with enormous crowds). You managed to make a lifelong team-sport-hater see the appeal. Nicely done. Also, thanks as ever for being so entertaining and putting a smile on my face.
Several other sports have matches with that sort of atmosphere all the time, everywhere in Europe (and possibly in the rest of the world as well, but I'm less familiar with that). Like basketball, handball, volleyball...
Thanks for coming, Tim. Always nice to see the club get a bit of recognition. I'm a season ticket holder, and would love to take you for a pint at l'Olympique if you're ever in the mood to come back for a game later in the season.
If you're a Red Star Paris fan, may I ask, what is the reason for Red Star rivalry with Paris FC and US Creteil? Are reasons political, geographical or just because you're in same league? Also, is St Ouen part of Paris of separate town? Thanks.
@@goranmilic442 Saint Ouen is a very close suburbs of Paris , that was Paris before .... The rivalry with Paris FC is essentially political as Red Star Fans supporters are left side and Paris FC are stupid racists.... The rivalry with US Créteil is not strong and I saw a derby in Bauer against Créteil where Ultras of the red star applause the visitor's stand and sing together "everybody hate the PFC"....
@@goranmilic442 When Paris Saint Germain kop Boulogne (more far right people) got dismantled & people got banned from stadiums, some of those racist bitches went to PFC instead.
Incidentally the last match I watched before the pandemic was a similarly high scoring game in a similarly decrepit stadium (1860 Munich vs Chemnitz) but in that case the home side had the better end for itself....
In Singapore, we shout "referee kayu" whenever a decision is disputed by the spectators. "Kayu" is Malay for wood, so translated it means "wooden referee"; i.e. completely useless
I used to choose Red Star in FIFA's carrer mode, but it is no longer available because they are in 3th division now :( Love this channel. I find this videos very interesting and relaxing.
Love this series Tim ( San Marino was great too), maybe doing the occasional old historic lower division clubs across Europe can become a permanent series.
Although not one of the oldest football club in the Netherlands, this really looks like the club I support, SC Cambuur (Leeuwarden, on the other end of the Afsluitdijk ;)) Also an old, traditional club, in an old (although not merely 100+ years old) stadium, lots of support from the fans and wonderful atmosphere. I particularly love the working-class atmosphere instead of the club's with much money. Because of that I really liked this video, thanks!
It’s awesome to watch a football game with the fans from both teams present, something we can’t do in Argentina, all games from third division to first are local fans only, due to out version of hooligans.
That's sad. England had a big hooligan problem in the 70s and 80s, which led to heavier regulation. I remember going to a Middlesbrough v Sunderland match (local derby), back when they were both in the Premier League, there were a lot of police officers outside the ground.
Fabulous fans, i went a couple of years ago and have been to over 1000 grounds in 26 countries and it's the best atmosphere i've seen anywhere worldwide.
Even though I'm not a huge soccer fan, I still tune into your channel on the regular basis. You always find something interesting and unusual to show. I wish in the US we're able to go to stadiums to watch live games, providing the observance of social distancing, etc. This Covid is becoming unbearable…
When I go on hols I annoy the hell out of the wife by looking for a contemporary kit shirt of an ectopic and rare football club that’s not easily recognised. So on the planned trip to Paris, I need to get this shirt out there. My last shirt was last summer in Sweden (FC Malmo). Oddest shirt - Sliema Wanderers from Malta
Reminds me of watching minor league baseball (single A) in the ramshackle field they temporarily played on at my old college... being a member of the radio station (who got broadcasting rights) I was able to get into games for free... but it was like $5 a ticket anyway... the only bonus to getting in for free is I got to sit in the box (basically a trailer on legs above the home plate stands) next to the broadcast booth, so I was under cover if it rained.) Also got into the college team games too, but they used metal bats, which just isn’t the same.
Saint Ouen, the coolest city near Paris! By the way, Saint Ouen could also be interesting for the mediocre mountain challenge, for it is almost flat, apart a couple of hills. Anyway, I love this city and inhabitants. That's why I chose to live here
I am always happy when you post your videos, you are very entertaining and informative no matter what the subject, love your work, stay safe and I look forward to your next instalment. Cheers, Greg.
As someone who supports a kickball team in the United Countries of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, I have missed football so much over these past 5 months and I miss being back in a football stadium so this was great!
One point, 5000 is the limit to crowd limits. Many clubs in the lower divisions are not allowed that. Although Stade Bauer is big, it is limited by regulations and the crowd limit last time I went (January 2019) was set at 2,999. The official crowd for that one was 2,999 (it was Coupe de France while the team was playing league games in Beauvais).
I have previously got annoying habit (according to the wife) of travelling to certain holiday destinations to get a local football club top. On the pre-requisite of buying it in the city and it must be pretty unknown. I’m typing this now, on a weekend in Paris, wearing a Red Star shirt (season 21-22)
A while ago I heard a story from a person who went to several 3rd division (I guess it's called "C league") ice hockey matches. There were very few viewers, but dedicated ones - they follow these games for their special atmosphere, like relaxed rules for viewers, who can get beer while watching. Besides those fans are so few, many of them get familiar with time.
Standard Athletic formed in 1890 first French football champions, represented France in cricket 1900, Standard Liege in Belgium named after the club. If you want visit the club in Meudon, let me know.
"Full House in Ramshackle Stadium Bingo" - now I think you might have to invent the game to go with it. It reminds me of the old Oxford United FC ground at Headington when I was a student and I was in the OUFC Student Supporters Club and the President was Ghislaine Maxwell - who I met to get my membership card. Yes that Ghislaine Maxwell.
@@alternatesportshistory3605 Indeed the Bouncing Czech owned the club and lived in Headington Hall (one of the best council houses in the country as he rented it off the City Council).
Great video, Tim. Have you heard of another lower league club called Stade Francais? They are related to the rugby team of the same name, and its history overlaps with that of Red Star. It so happens that one of my relatives, Jean-Francois Gutewiez, who died two years ago, was a star player with them in the 60s until injury cut short his career.
Not a big football fan, but have seen one match live about 8 years ago, when 'my' local team (a couple of minutes walk to the stadium at Parc Dudenpark, RUSG, then in 3rd league, now in 1B) played for the cup against a premier league team. They got their asses handed to them (0-6 for KRC Genk), but it was still a lot of fun, and the fans kept on drumming, singing and shouting until the very end. RUSG, too, is a tradition club, still carrying the national record for longest unbeaten streak in Belgian history (with 60 unbeaten matches, only beaten by Celtic Glasgow in Europe, apparently), in a beautiful art déco stadium zoomed on 3 sides by trees of the park...
Fantastic again, Tim. Now that I live in an affluent part of Paris, it reminds me of my teenage years in Saint-Ouen. By the way, if you're into rugby, there is a comparable rivalry between Racing 92 in Colombes (suburbian club) and Stade Français (Paris glamourous club).
Sitting at a football match? What nonsense! ;) Cheers for making vids on semi-obscure football teams out there, I've seen Red Star around (in FM to be honest) and sometimes wondered about the combo of red star and green kits, now I know more. Keep it up :)
I never did get to the bottom of the mystery of WHY they chose green... it may be lost to the mists of time. Probably just because Jules Rimet liked green or something
@@TheTimTraveller Hi Tim, when Rimet created Red Star in 1897 they played with blue/white jerseys. Red Star merged with Olympique de Paris in 1926, they played in white until 1934 ; then they eventually chose green/white which were actually the initial colors of Olympique de Paris. Big fan of your channel btw. Cheers!
Videos on this channel are probably the only time I deliberately watch things about football, the other one being that San Marino one. But uh I do wonder if there are any dedicated fans who bought/rent an appartment in that tall building next to the field. A few people were sitting in a lit up room with open windows for most of the match, if so they probably have a lot of mixed feelings about potential promotions away from this stadium.
I remember watching a game there in 1985, no block of flats there and I'm not sure all the concrete was there either. No fence from memory either as I can remember balls coming into the spectator area due to a fickle wind which seemed to always pop up when a long curving downfield clearance was made! LoL 😆
Red Star were almost in Ligue 1 last season, after finishing in the play offs, then relegation the next season. If you like faded teams that used to dominate I'd recommend RWDM in Belgium, second division now, fantastic stadium and won the league in the 70s
I'm not into football pitches, but that's one of the more interesting looking apartment blocks around, and a tiny forest in the corner enhances anything.
So Le Havre is quite similar to 1860 Munich. There was a sport club in Munich in 1860 but football didn't arrive to Germany until 15 years later in Braunschweig.
Most traveler videos take us to the "usual" places, or even more exclusive ones that they claim are "less visited and thus more charming and desirable".........................Tim will take you on a tour of the Paris sewers searching for THE PHANTOM (or at least find a rare series of "helicopter houses", houses that fly, in Schlockenstein Poplokie precinct, in Upper Sideways Flatlatulancia). Or something. His vids are funky, fab and probably the sort of trips and funky visits I could afford if I lived there. Way to go, Tim, now please...........WHERE'S THE T SHIRT?
So Melbourne Football Club was established on July 10, 1858. The next oldest, South Yarra was established September 25, 1858. WHO DID MELBOURNE PLAY IN THE MEANTIME?

Phew! As long as it's not 5G mast!! 5G radio waves turn everyone gay you know.
Tio it’s been a radio mast right from the start! It’s one of the reasons it wasn’t torn down after the World’s Fair.
LOL It has also been referred to as "the unfortunate lamppost". :D :D :D
Shout out to that one flat where they're throwing a massive party with colored lights and insanely loud music.

Standard Athletic formed in 1890 first French football champions, represented France in cricket 1900, Standard Liege in Belgium named after the club. If you want visit the club in Meudon, let me know.
This apartment block next to the pitch look's like a concrete mountain, why did Tim didn't think about climbing it?
"Full House in Ramshackle Stadium Bingo" - now I think you might have to invent the game to go with it.
It reminds me of the old Oxford United FC ground at Headington when I was a student and I was in the OUFC Student Supporters Club and the President was Ghislaine Maxwell - who I met to get my membership card. Yes that Ghislaine Maxwell.
Her dad Robert owned the club back then, right?

Indeed the Bouncing Czech owned the club and lived in Headington Hall (one of the best council houses in the country as he rented it off the City Council).
if they were the first football club, who did they play against?
Great video, Tim.
Have you heard of another lower league club called Stade Francais? They are related to the rugby team of the same name, and its history overlaps with that of Red Star.
It so happens that one of my relatives, Jean-Francois Gutewiez, who died two years ago, was a star player with them in the 60s until injury cut short his career.
Not a big football fan, but have seen one match live about 8 years ago, when 'my' local team (a couple of minutes walk to the stadium at Parc Dudenpark, RUSG, then in 3rd league, now in 1B) played for the cup against a premier league team. They got their asses handed to them (0-6 for KRC Genk), but it was still a lot of fun, and the fans kept on drumming, singing and shouting until the very end. RUSG, too, is a tradition club, still carrying the national record for longest unbeaten streak in Belgian history (with 60 unbeaten matches, only beaten by Celtic Glasgow in Europe, apparently), in a beautiful art déco stadium zoomed on 3 sides by trees of the park...
That apartment block has a good view! The ground reminds me of Leek Football Club in Staffordshire!
Fantastic again, Tim. Now that I live in an affluent part of Paris, it reminds me of my teenage years in Saint-Ouen. By the way, if you're into rugby, there is a comparable rivalry between Racing 92 in Colombes (suburbian club) and Stade Français (Paris glamourous club).
Great insight into French football. Thanks
i love this dude
That's proper football!
I kinda like how that apartment building lined up with the spectator fencing from certain angles.
Ah THAT obscure radio mast that's always photobombing a lot of photos in Paris!
Sitting at a football match? What nonsense! ;)
Cheers for making vids on semi-obscure football teams out there, I've seen Red Star around (in FM to be honest) and sometimes wondered about the combo of red star and green kits, now I know more. Keep it up :)
I never did get to the bottom of the mystery of WHY they chose green... it may be lost to the mists of time. Probably just because Jules Rimet liked green or something
@@TheTimTraveller Hi Tim, when Rimet created Red Star in 1897 they played with blue/white jerseys. Red Star merged with Olympique de Paris in 1926, they played in white until 1934 ; then they eventually chose green/white which were actually the initial colors of Olympique de Paris.
Big fan of your channel btw. Cheers!
@@ogamiitto8627 ah thank you! Well that explains why they wear green. But now I want to know why they chose blue & white :D
@@TheTimTraveller That's the reason why we love you ! :)
That was rather good. Thank you.
P.S. maybe you should go see St Pauli in Hamburg?
This is a wonderful vid. Always loved the history of older French teams. Hope you do more, maybe Nantes next or Lens...
Videos on this channel are probably the only time I deliberately watch things about football, the other one being that San Marino one.
But uh I do wonder if there are any dedicated fans who bought/rent an appartment in that tall building next to the field. A few people were sitting in a lit up room with open windows for most of the match, if so they probably have a lot of mixed feelings about potential promotions away from this stadium.
The background music easter eggs are the best part of these videos.
I remember watching a game there in 1985, no block of flats there and I'm not sure all the concrete was there either. No fence from memory either as I can remember balls coming into the spectator area due to a fickle wind which seemed to always pop up when a long curving downfield clearance was made! LoL 😆
Red Star were almost in Ligue 1 last season, after finishing in the play offs, then relegation the next season. If you like faded teams that used to dominate I'd recommend RWDM in Belgium, second division now, fantastic stadium and won the league in the 70s
I'm not into football pitches, but that's one of the more interesting looking apartment blocks around, and a tiny forest in the corner enhances anything.
Tim + good old timey football = my day just got better.
I want to visit them now for the authentic experience and real community spirit which you don't have at big clubs. 🗼⚽
Very enjoyable video. Thank you.
We love you Tim!
Only you can make a lower league football match entertaining like this! I cried laughing!
So Le Havre is quite similar to 1860 Munich. There was a sport club in Munich in 1860 but football didn't arrive to Germany until 15 years later in Braunschweig.
My goodness, I'd love to see a video on the flea market that you mentioned.
Loved how you used the same melody than in the QI show for your history intermission
Most traveler videos take us to the "usual" places, or even more exclusive ones that they claim are "less visited and thus more charming and desirable".........................Tim will take you on a tour of the Paris sewers searching for THE PHANTOM (or at least find a rare series of "helicopter houses", houses that fly, in Schlockenstein Poplokie precinct, in Upper Sideways Flatlatulancia). Or something. His vids are funky, fab and probably the sort of trips and funky visits I could afford if I lived there. Way to go, Tim, now please...........WHERE'S THE T SHIRT?
Proper football ground that. Also, love the fact that the Bastia fans took flares into their tiny enclosure!
So Melbourne Football Club was established on July 10, 1858. The next oldest, South Yarra was established September 25, 1858.
WHO DID MELBOURNE PLAY IN THE MEANTIME?
So today you're a Tim player.
Thats a pretty radio mast, Tim!
And now, the Stade Bauer is under reconstruction works ( started a few weeks ago). Who said it was urgently necessary?
Loving accordion MOTD 😀
You have just given me the inspiration for my game save on Football Manager 2021..
I love the QI music in pedantry corner
