[Bundesbiers]

How is that not a red card against Neuer?

 

[Croak]

Shouldn't have sold those tickets!

Well, I'm in Wales at the moment Croak, no chance to go to the game anyway. Delighted to hear that they managed to steal a point against Bayern.

Yellow instead. A bizarre play.

Yellow instead. A bizarre play.

I think any deliberate hand ball outside the box by a GK should be automatic red.

A goalkeeper outside the box is treated like any other player on the pitch. A red card can only be issued if in the referee's opinion it prevents a goal or an "obvious" goal scoring opportunity.

And when the GK is at midfield, there's a goal scoring opportunity. The Hamburg kick towards goal didn't go in, but it wasn't far off.

Wow, one of Paderborn's goal was from 83 meters out.

I believe it has to be an obvious goal scoring opportunity. Midfield doesn't really count as obvious.

 

[Croak]

Ooh..tempers are flaring in this Dortmund game.

Rhein Derby on Sunday. Can't wait. Hope we beat the hated Foals and keep the season clean sheet alive.

If Koeln wins by more than 1 goal, they'll be ahead of Bayern in the standings. How freaky is that?

Union Berlin defeat RB Leipzig

Where is my congratulations for the new Bundesliga record? I always give everyone else credit for their victories/titles/records?

No one has respect for me? I deserve my due for as long as I have been touting my Bundesliga team.

 

[Croak]

The only team to ever start the season with 4 clean sheets. I caught that, but don't know if anyone else did. Cologne plays good defense. I watched the game.

Interesting article in ESPN.com. http://www.espnfc.us/german-bundesl...-predicts-tough-times-ahead-for-bayern-munich

I guess parity comes from having too many good players as well, which is not a bad thing. The world cup players still look tired and beat up. The extra games like Champions League, etc. take their physical toll. In a perverse way this might be how to achieve parity in the Bundesliga. Teams like Leverkusen, Bayern, and BVB have to deal with more commitments I guess. Thus they struggle in games they should win.

I know the Bayern guys still look like they are playing tired. Leverkusen and Dortmund looked a shadow of themselves this weekend.

I do Bundesbiers, congrats. And enjoy it, it wont last very long

And to add to the praise, Bundesbiers, Cologne is certainly playing with more passion and pace than my team right now.

Dont forget there is another game on Tuesday Bundesbiers. And as Köln is playing at Hannover I wouldnt be surprised if your clean sheets will already be gone before Sunday
However, it remains a remarkable start into the season so far

I just wish we could score some goals.

I don't think Hannover is very good this year. I think a clean sheet is possible.

Mainz, Mainz, Mainz !!!

At the end it doesnt matter Croak, they are still too good for the rest of the league. Maybe thats why ? They simply dont need to give 100 % in every single game.

Someone is finally going to say it... besides us.
