Ok , I got so bored. I did some research'.Ok. Re olderyids ITK.
Why is so hard to understand that Schalke took a train from Gelsenkirchen to Frankfurt.
They then flew to Munich from Frankfurt (flight that ITK claims he saw squad) and from Munich to Doha.
The guy claiming ITK is perfectly feasible.
The attitude of some on here does my head in. All holier than thou, judging every bit, dissecting...like you're the ITK police.... "I smell bs" "oh but this flight goes from here not here" "nah it can't be coz...." waaaaay too much time on your hands.
ITK is what it is, read it, take it in, who cares if its bullshit its part of the fun.
This is why I lurk and don't post. And prob get banned now but hey-ho.
Lighten up. Peace
OlderYid says in his first ITK that he arrived in Munich and back of plane he saw Schalke team sitting. So, he saw them on a flight into Munich where they were on their way to Doha.
According to Schalke website, they started to Doha on 2 groups - "The Royal Blues had set off for Qatar in the morning in two groups. Some flew from Frankfurt to Doha, the rest from Munich.The Qatar Airways flights contained the entire first-team squad with the exception of long-term absentees Ralf Fährmann, Peer Kluge and Levan Kenia"
Below link is from a German media, which reports Farfan & Edu had visa problems and so they could not take off with the team from Duesseldorf airport, 40km from Gelsenkirchen. Same media report says that team arrived late Thursday night in Doha to a warm welcome.

Search in QatarAirways Website for Duesseldorf & Doha on Thursday
Now, there IS flight between Duesseldorf & Doha via munich on Thursday.
But catch is this - Qatar Airways operates codeshare -so from Dsseldorf to Munich Qatar Airways operates on a Lufthansa flight and from Munich, it is direct flight to Doha on Qatar Airways, arriving late at 22:35hrs
As seen below, LH2005 between Duesseldorf and Munich

Here is where OlderYid comes in. OlderYid & Schalke could have been on same flight LH2005. If someone had the Passenger list of LH2005 3rd Jan, can be proved with out a doubt.
Now there is only one assumption I am making, that OlderYid took his flight from Dusseldorf or was on a flight which was flying via Dusseldorf.
So, based on this, there is fecking strong possibility that OlderYid is saying the truth. There is no way OlderYid would have known all these from Schalke leaving time, leaving airport, transit airport..etc..
Some can call Bull$hit, some can call coincidence, If this indeed happened, I will call it as FATE.
