The bit in quotes matters to us because Red GmbH define themselves by what they say they aren’t, and routinely deny things they subsequently do.
FC Liefering is “independent” from Red Bull Salzburg which is “independent” from RB Liepzig, and club identities are “respected” until they‘re not. #lufc
“What a fantastic evening of football that was... floodlights, a packed stadium, and two goals from Bareš. We take the points in Maxglan and send the "completely independent club" back to the suburbs empty-handed.”
There are few moments better in football than when the keeper shanks the ball to the opposition, and this one is priceless!
#FuckRedBull
It sat up so well for Bares, plus he was absolutely knackered 😆
A first-ever win against a Red Bull construct equals the 7 victories die Austria got in this league ten years ago, which ended in relegation and near-bankruptcy.
This is not like last time. #svas
Bares was signed to score the goals to keep @austriasalzburg.bsky.social up, but last night was beyond anyone’s dreams. #svas
Thanks, will check out 👍
Yeah, I was unfamiliar with the work tbh but came away loving the whole thing. Support that night was @dextromusic.bsky.social, also 👌
Glad to see this, Andy; saw them a few months back up here. Brilliant stuff.
Salzburg ist komplett weiss-violett! 💜🤍
FUCK Red Bull #svas #lufc
Bares’ first time shot over the keeper from inside his own half and Maxglan is lit once more 🔥 #svas
TOOOORRRR FÜR DIE AUSTRIA! Bares, 91mins 2-0 #svas
Bares forcing that home through smoke bombs is the sort of life-affirming moment that makes football, football and not some global corp’s marketing strategy #svas #lufc
TORRR FÜR DIE AUSTRIA! Bares, 47mins 1-0 #svas
This is a real battle, Nesler-Täubl with several saves to keep Austria in it.
Austria Salzburg 0-0 FC Liefering HT #svas

🇦🇹 Red Bull Salzburg's feeder club FC Liefering can expect a fierce reception when they visit Austria Salzburg in Austria's second tier today.
The energy drinks manufacturer took over and renamed the old Austria Salzburg in 2005, prompting such anger that the fans founded a phoenix club in protest.
Everywhere I look I have friends, antifascist organisers, academics and activists, planning for where they will spend the next ten years, whether they will survive this threat or not, and all I can think of is the smug commentators who smirked "but this moment will never come". F**k them, truly.
This was the Austria away support that day; vastly outnumbering FC Liefering’s consumers and swelling its usual attendance of 250 to 8,000. #svas
Tobi Rohrmoser's bizarre move from FC Liefering dates back to September's game between the clubs when he was dropped before celebrating both Austria Salzburg goals against his then-employer.
The Austria U19 full-back never played for FC Liefering again and left on a free transfer in January. #svas
Last time a Red Bull team came to Austria Salzburg, the game had to be played in neutral Grödig and Austria fans were fined €35,000 for this second half bombardment of Red Bull Salzburg players 💥 #svas
Here’s a bit on how and why Red Bull GmbH “created” FC Liefering; not all their clubs bear the company’s name #lufc
Austria Salzburg v FC Liefering on Friday night, then.
“Don't call it derby” say @austriasalzburg.bsky.social on a game between neighbours from football’s polar opposites.
As University of Salzburg sports sociologist Minas Dimitriou puts it, “Inherited identity” v "Salmon sandwich consumers" #svas
“Little influence, unrest, and hardly any success: The marriage of Jürgen Klopp and Red Bull is likely drawing to a close.”
Salzburger Nachrichten, who broke news of Klopp’s appointment in 2024 to much denial, has been reporting this for a fortnight now to much denial #lufc

Delighted to see this coming to fruition; deserved UK recognition for @austriasalzburg.bsky.social and for @afcwimbledon1889.bsky.social’s role in inspiring their journey.
Here’s hoping this is the beginning of a lasting fanfreundschaft 🍻 #svas #afcw

Almost perfect.
As Joel Piroe broke his Ramadan fast with a swig from a Red Bull branded bottle, shows on the firm’s ServusTV website were stoking Islamophobia. #lufc
