that 7 for wolfsburg has been a handful, shame his finishing has been a bit off or they'd be 5 up.They're lucky it's only 3 the Leverkusen keeper has made 2 top drawer saves. They are very good going forward but defensively they're so suspect especially with pace which the 3rd goal came from.
im pretty sure i heard the commentator said that more away teams had won since closed doors than home teams have.Strange results indeed. Is this the pattern with the other games?
Maybe harder for home teams to adapt to, although it will still be strange for both sets of players.im pretty sure i heard the commentator said that more away teams had won since closed doors than home teams have.
Good, I was away at the shop and missed the 4th.Another superb ball in and now 4-0 absolute carbon copy of the first goal.
Would take that now when we play them with 5 mins to go!

It's Bundesliga - it's the norm. Lot of inconsistent teams who are capable of throwing in absolute howlers, defending abysmal - makes for a better watch than many Premier League matches but overall standard miles away.
Regarding Crowds, this would have been as tame a Bundesliga match as you will get on that front.
Also the reason why Bayern win ever year. They can be consistent . No one else in that league can
@Renfrew@UKGB&NISince they re-started behind closed doors, only 3 home wins from 22 matches.
Bad stat for us punters.

He’s very highly rated over there, valued between 15-20 mil. I remember him playing a blinder for Newcastle after us also.One of the newcastle 5 playing for Wolfsburg
True, very little Squad depth overall - Red Bull will be torn apart soon and another Challenger heavily weakened.
It’s what I don’t get . Why do the challengers sell their best players to Bayern. Surely if your wanting success then Bayern could offer all the money in the world you turn it down if your Leverkusen , Dortmund or Leipzig

^ Absolutely. I don’t even try to pick winners from German football, usually btts as most of the time the teams can’t defend worth a shiteIt's Bundesliga - it's the norm.

I don't watch 'other football' normally, maybe the EPL only because of having a squad in FPL. I tried the earlier game tonight Bayern v Dortmund and found it difficult to watch eventually stopped watching and would flick back to it now and again just to see the score.
I've found out a lot about myself regarding football, always thought I was a pure football fan but in reality it is only the crowd and atmosphere that attracts me to it.
World Cups and Euros and some 'big games' in the CL gets my attention but I think if those played BCD I wouldn't bother.
In saying that, if it comes to Rangers BCD I'll definitely watch that.
It's Leipzigs business model, and in regrds to BvB they nearly went bust in 2005 so ever since them they have always spent well but ultimately won't be anywhere near Bayern financially.
Remember that while a lot of clubs in Germany are big, Bayern are still massive and by far the biggest club in the country. They really are a super club and that's why players like Lewandowski will always want to move up the ladder to Bayern.

An injury prone 18 year old kid coming from a premier league academy to a waterlogged Starks park for a game of red-ar*e. I wonder why it never worked outI mind I watched him for our reserves up at Dumbarton's ground. Couldn't kick his own arse and looked out his depth at that level.
That tells me why I'm not a scout.

Yeah but right now if your talking terms of finance I bet a lot of outsiders and most non Rangers fans in scotlsnd would say Celtic are far richer and have far more money than Rangers. So if we adopted Dortmund’s model we should just sell them our best players and be ok with it . I just don’t get it no matter how much Bayern offer I don’t think Dortmund should be selling them anyone just like we wouldn’t sell Celtic anyone no matter the price . (Unless they want to give us 5 million for barker then I’ll make an exception)
Dortmund v Bayern isn't that big of a rivalry though. Dortmund are really just best of the rest at the moment. It would be more like comparing Aberdeen being third behind us and still selling us players.
