Thoughts on this?

I don't really understand how it's any worse than a goalkeeper waiting for an attacking player to get within a couple of yards of them before picking the ball up to run the clock down, something which we see 2 or 3 times a weekend.

What grounds does he have to book the player?

unsportsmanlike behaviour I assume but really he was time wasting to ensure no comeback from the opposition

What a lot of nonsense. The ball was in play so there can be no time wasting defence, and the line between showboating and unsportsmanlike conduct is so subjective as to be entirely unenforceable. What next, bookings for nutmegs? This ref would have booked Lamela for his rabona as 'too flash'. And dont even think about trying a Panenka; three match ban.

That is absolute bullshit. How many of us did that in school/Sunday league ffs. German's really don't have a sense of fun, do they?

Favre sacked after Dortmund lost 1-5 at home to Stuttgart yesterday.

Will be very interesting to see who takes over.

Good project for Poch?

Edit: looks like Marco Rose. I really want someone to snap up Poch so he doesn't go to Utd!

Poch should be banging Dortmund's door down. I reckon he'd be such a good fit for them.

Second tier Holstein Kiel knocked Bayern out of the German cup last night on penalties. Bayern had a strong team out too!

Haaland is going to be a superstar.

He already is.

Got a feeling he will leave Dortmund if they don't get a CL spot for next season though, which atm looks likely as they're a real mess. Hope those Chelsea links aren't true, I'd much rather see him in Spain.

It’s the Revierderby tonight. Haaland with a worldie makes it 2-0. Schalke currently last in the Bundesliga and Christian Gross does not look like the saviour they desperately need. Would be a shocker if they went down to zweite bundesliga. The team will be plucked down to nothing

True. Hamburg still have not got back up. And the second division, much like the championship is very competitive. It will not be easy and I cannot see Schalke surviving. They are rock bottom with 9 points and 9 points from a playoff position.
