I don't read German. I don't care about the debate, it's not even a controversial call. Clear penalty, the guy was beat at full speed pushed the other guy without trying to play the ball, what do you want to debate, or what do they debate?

So Niclas Füllkrug joins Werder Bremen next year (again) The fee will be round 7m. H96 lost at least 10m on him in one year (yes I know about his injury).That's the way business man Kind does business, Genius!

Given the fact 96 will get relegated and 3 Hannover guys plus Harnik play in Bremen I think I pick Werder next year.

If Dortmund can get through these next two games without dropping points, we'll be in very good position heading into the final two matches of the season. Bayern has the 3rd and 4th place teams to end the season, one away and one at home. Those teams are also in good form, compared to us having the 5th place team as one of our final two games who have dropped down the table recently. I'm not convinced Bayern is going to be able to beat Leipzig and Frankfurt in back to back weeks.

Glad someone is optimistic.

Then and there
That final match Bayern - Frankfurt could be very important for both, especially if Frankfurt lose to Leverkusen two weeks earlier. Title in line for Bayern and CL spot for Eintracht.

Köln fires coach Markus Anfang.

I try to understand this. They lost to Darmstadt but are still leading the league by (worst case) 5 points with 4 games left. and then they fire their coach? Oh, well.

Btw HSV (2nd) at Union (4th) and Paderborn (3rd) vs Heidenheim (5th) this weekend.

Correction, it's only 3 games left. It's gameday 31.

This is the worst refereed match I've ever seen in Europe.

The referee completely lost the plot early on, and the two red cards are a byproduct of how poorly this guy has refereed the game. Schalke got a 50/50 penalty go their way, but a 50/50 penalty for us he refuses to even look at. Schalke has been hacking at our players all game with almost no repercussions, so of course our players feel like they can try to do the same to Schalke without repercussions. Now this guy wants to start enforcing the rules of the game. A complete joke. When we lose I can usually say we got outplayed, but we didn't. Schalke hasn't had a shot on goal from the run of play. The referee has completely decided this match.

Can't blame the referee for two reckless tackles. Reus' was on the softer side but Wolf's was pretty awful. Zwayer hasn't been great (never is), but Dortmund have been utter shite and don't deserve a win.

I should watch more 2. Bundesliga games, which you'll be doing next season. :thumbu:

I don't know how someone could seriously dispute how that match was refereed. I can criticize Dortmund playing poorly, like either result against Schalke last year, but Schalke barely touched the ball before the red cards, and they got huge help from the referee. They were 3-1 up without a shot on goal from the run of play.
