I've always hated Hernandez... If only Wendell had scored for us ;)

I watched my recording of Sportschau from a fortnight ago the other day, it had the Augsburg [?] goalkeeper saving a penalty against Koln, the commentary used the words fair play as if the goalkeeper had done something sporting, I don't understand much German can anyone tell me what it was all about?
Thanks

The penalty Cologne got was undeserved. Augsburg´s keeper then "prepared" the penalty spot by kicking pieces of grass around the spot out.

Cologne´s Modeste slipped and Hitz was able to save the penalty. Then a shit storm about fair play broke loose and Hitz had to apologize to Cologne (Augsburg won 1-0).

I personally didnt get the discussion at all. Forwards try to get penaltys all the time with all kind of unfair means and it seems to be ok. Hitz fought fire with fire so to speak and gets all the blame.

Bit hypocritical imho....

Frontzeck has resigned from Hannover this morning. Makes him another contender for the city job in the summer presumably.... ;)

In the meantime, Merry Christmas to all our Bundesliga friends.

Interesting BBC article about the final days of the DDR national team, quotes from Uwe.

A belated Merry Christmas, and hopefully it's a successful New Year for all.

I'm planning a trip over and I've got a couple of questions;

• Is it completely unrealistic to get from Dortmund Airport to the Veltins Arena in 35 mins on a matchday (Europa League)? If I had a friend pick me up could he easily park near the ground?
• Does anyone know Bielefelds Schüco Arena well enough to know if there's a taxi rank outside after the game? (I'd be in quite a rush after the game)
