Dr_Pangloss Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 1 hour ago, VillaChris said: More shambolic use of VAR I'm afraid. Ref blew for half time in Mainz-Freiburg. At that point with the players walking to the dressing rooms he decides to have a wander and look at a possible penalty incident. Two minutes later he awards a penalty. Withh the freiburg team in the dressing room. Five minutes later Mainz score the penalty and they all walk off for half time again. It has to be better than this. The World Cup will be carnage. Absolutely losing it's Mainz there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 17, 2018 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2018 That's utterly shambolic. But it's the procedure rather than the system that's at fault here. I think it will get better over time, but the inevitable pain has to happen at a lower level. It can't be screwing up World Cups, Premier Leagues and Bundesligas while it finds its feet, figures out its scope and all the other stuff that goes into arriving SEAMLESSLY at the right decision.

steve1986 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Needless to say last weekend's Revier Derby was unbelievable, Dortmund look a shadow of their former self. However, was really impressed with what Tedesco has done with Schalke, they look determined in every deparmtnet, and despite not having the best players, they work hard for each other. The performance of Naldo at the back was incredible, McGrath like; every ball in to the box he was in the right place, every pass intercepted and his distribution was super, and he topped it off with a great goal from a free kick. Atmosphere as ever unlike anything you get in England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 That Jadon Sancho looks a bit good. Scored yesterday and set up a few. Never seen him before, but looks like a massive prospect, England should cap him asap I don't know whether he's eligible for anyone else. Looks like Man City have lost one there, apparently he left city due to lack of promised game time. He's only played a few games for Dortmund, but looks the part. Also, the confidence to do that at 18 is incredible, I think that shows that he's not happy to sign a huge contract in England and be forgotten, he wants to play and develop. Sorry if he's already been discussed in this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Saw his highlights, its the quality that goes with those stats, his finish is superb, passed it in to thr bottom corner, the touch for the first assist and the inch perfect ball in for the 2nd Glad he moved, hes not the only one, there was several last summer, think liverpool lost 1 to barca, arsenal lost about 4, reece oxford is also in the bundesliga looking to make that move permanent and lookman at leipzig We need it to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornso Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 German clubs starting to buy young English players who are too far down the pecking order to get a chance at their age. Smart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Best thing for the players careers and if resist temptation to go back to England for the money it will only improve them as players Interesting Dale Jennings was one of first to make the move about 5 years ago to Bayern and looks like he went back to England and not got a club in 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 20, 2018 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2018 Takes peak at new tables. Ugh. The one advantage of being in this garbage league this season is it kicks off early. If we can't get out of the pissing 3rd tier then I'm going over there to give them a piece of my mind. Actually scratch that. I'll only end up having to do it knowing how shit we've been recently.

Vfb Stuttgart - awesome city, great stadium and always good when you combine one of their games with their beer festival at the end of September.

AVFC_Hitz Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 1860 or Union Berlin for me. Both quite crap but definitely cooler to support than their respective neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
