How do the handball rules apply to four legged animals!? As Maradona has pointed out, handball rules don't apply to GOATs. LOL. Nice one!

Very belated results and table of the midweek matchday. Notable events: Bibiana Steinhaus had to explain the offside rule to German international Kerem Demirbay in Hoffenheim's game. Demirbay's knowledge of the rule wasn't quite up to standards. Ironically the guy who told her two years ago that "women have no place in men's football", after he was sent off by her. Today the final matchday of the Bundesliga Hinrunde starts. I'll call it quits with the regular updates in this threads after this matchday and retreat as a regular from the forum for now.

I hope Wolfsburg are not screwing up this time. I want peace for poor Tasmina...

In light of the injury crisis (13 players out) 1. FC Köln have moved for match registration of their mascot, Hennes VIII, the goat. Correct designation: Hennes, the 8th of his name. Not even this they can do right.

Looks like Leipzig's CB Marvin Compper could be on his way to Celtic in the winter transfer window ( source). Flew to Glasgow to visit the Celtic facilities on Tuesday.

I'm a bit surprised because Hasenhüttl said only last week that he doesn't expect him to leave in winter, but after the Oliver Burke transfer I suppose I should have known better... I mean it was clear that he's on his way out, I just expected him to stay until summer. Especially since he'll be cup tied, too. Why did he sub him on for just a couple of minutes against Besiktas?
Leipzig will need to bring in another CB in January then.

He was a regular starter last season, but this season he's barely played (108 mins in total, per Transfermarkt) ... there are at least four players ahead of him. I'm not really sure whether he has declined that much, or whether it's a result of the club's policy to play the young players no matter what (the two teenagers are clearly ahead of him).
There were also rumours that there were problems between him and Hasenhüttl, but it was just Bild reporting that, so not sure whether there's anything behind that at all.

Cheers! Sounds like a pig in a poke! I suppose you could say that, looking at the current season. 2-2 in Hannover vs Leverkusen after 25 minutes.

Oliver Burke is playing for West Brom against Man Utd just now. I think it's his first start for the team.

3-1 at HT. This might end 6-5 or something.
Was Burke injured a lot, or just a flop? I'll never understand why Rangnick was so desperate to bring him in in the first place. Leipzig's Renato Sanches-case.

Bundesliga is mirroring the PL this season - tough call for the 2-4- unlike last year they have there top 5 teams in the top 5 slots..
