Shout out to Jordan Cullinane-Liburd of National League Tamworth who's managed to pick up a straight red after just five minutes at Forest Green Rovers. Top effort sir.
Bizarrely Tamworth have just taken the lead. This has got the makings of a bonkers game.

Went to the Alte Forsterei expecting nothing but came away disappointed with only a point. A mega strong performance from Union who outfought and pressed the life out of Bayern.

I despise international breaks. On the plus it gives an op to catch a landespokal game. Checking this weekends games, this one caught the eye. Oh er?
Sure to be a warm reunion of old friends. :0

Many of us have dumped the fascist & bot cesspit run by Musk for a more civilised forum. No moral justification for this action. A serious lack of self awareness with this choice.

Chaos at BER airport due to a cyber attack apparently. The difference to a normal day there will be negligible.

Rotterdam ködert den Abwehr-Boss vom #FCUnion mit Champions League. Der 1. FC Union holt wohl Stanley Nsoki – doch ein Doekhi-Ersatz ist er nicht.

The Dresden Frauenkirche looks over the last remains of the Carola Bridge which saw fit to collapse in the middle of the night last September. Plans for a new bridge are ongoing and uncertain. Anyone familiar with German civil engineering projects will be unsurprised.

This is wonderful. 4th tier Newport County have made in collab with Athletic Bilbao a football shirt remembering the 56 Basque children who fled Franco in 1937, finding safety in the Welsh town, some forming team called The Basque Boys. I'll getting one for my son as I'm sure will many

Spain done nothing tonight to rescue the reputation of womens football, as not proficient when it comes to taking penalties.
To spin it - the women keepers are world class at saving penalties compared to the men. :0

Textbook Bundesliga 2 tonight. 1st home to 3rd bottom, there was only going to be one result.
Throw in a comedy own goal, all the essential ingredients for Europe's most bonkers league.
HSV doing HSV things too. It's April. We know how this usually pans out. Will they screw up promotion again?
