Nice footwork from Sane there for the 8-0. But in the wise words of Heynckes the Younger: you haven't proven you're world class if you do that 10-9 against an underdog, you've proven your world class if you do that in a semi final against Real Madrid 
I think if your team drops below 8 players (whatever the reason), you automatically forfeit the match.Yeah, sounds like a lot of entertainment for the next 45 minutes
Is it possible to cancle a game due to to many red cards?
If it's an automatic 4-0 or something, Darmstadt probably actually should have gone for that instead.
Goal difference +27 after 9 matches now 
The tragicomic fact is that Darmstadt were the better team for the whole first half..
If you forfeit a game, scored goals still count. The game would have ended 8:0. But if it had been like 8:7 and then Darmstadt would have had to forfeit, I think it would have been 8:0.
The not tragicomic fact is that a game has two halves and it doesn't matter when the goals are scored
Yeah, the cards had a huge impact. Would have preferred to see the game out with the same number of players on each side.
Top class interview by Marvin Mehlem
"It was fun"
"It was fun"
"I can see the company Red Bull in there.. full of energy.." Loddar is such a disgrace.
But if they would have quickly gotten two more red cards after their second, they would have just lost 4-0 or whatever. And missed those players with suspensions, but they could have quickly swapped on two youth players to deal with that.
Trust with, this would have been a great plan and everyone would have praised Darmstadt for their ingenuity, doing this in the first half when it's 10 vs 9. Nope.
I hope so much Bochum and Darmstadt will be relegated
Darmstadt had 46% possession apparently, away to Bayern, and lost 8-0. Just doesn’t look right
Thomas Müller has passed the milestone of 500 goal involvements (goals+assists) for Bayern. I'm not sure if today's g+a was even needed for that.
This game is pretty great, HSV rarely fails to entertain.
Becker pushed a ball boy to the ground after he handed him the ball. Nothing brutal, but it still looked like he was taking out his frustration on a little kid.
I didn’t think those Darmstadt ones were red cards at all. Especially the second one.
I apologise on behalf of our country.
Are you arguing that these weren’t fouls or that they were fouls but not red card offenses?
Diplomatic crisis averted.
Yes fouls but not red card offences.
If they're fouls they're red cards. It's rare to see the rule put to work so stringently.
The first one is clear as day:
Clear goal scoring chance for himself and the chance to square it for a tap in too.
Maybe some refs would have let him off with a yellow card here, because of the angle - but the defender is so far away and the GK is nowhere in sight, so I think the vast majority of referees would rule this a red card, too.

Yeah it was the angle I was looking at. Just so surprised it was given I suppose as I’ve only really seen them given when straight ahead.
This Xavi Simons fella is a proper talent. Be interesting to see where he ends up
He is a PSG player, just on loan in Leipzig. So I guess it already is clear.
From seeing it live and also from these two screenshots: clear reds.The first one is clear as day:

I think roughly speaking referees in Bundesliga estimate a) whether the GK or another defender would have had a reasonable chance to intercept the ball and whether the attacking side would have gotten a shooting opportunity from inside the imaginary triangle form the goal posts to the opposite corners of the box.
Oh Dortmund.... 2-0 down and having to change the keeper due to injury after just 30min now...
On the other hand, Frankfurt really arrived into the season and are getting goals now (which they massively lacked at the beginning).

I only saw the two (lucky) goals for Frankfurt. Are they playing better than Dortmund?
VAR continues to be a clown show. Wolf gets a penalty against him, after the opponent hit the ball against his arm from behind, Meyer doesn't get a penalty against him for a mistimed sweeping attempt..
Dortmund are playing badly, Frankfurt are counter attacking well.

Imagine the refereeing is so bad, the social media interns of BOTH clubs make fun of it after a match.
The DFB has now announced that Wolf's penalty was a mistake, too.
So three penalty calls in a game, all three wrong. Dortmund's second goal looked offside to me too, but who knows what the rules on that are these days.
This might have turned out to be almost as good an opportunity as a penalty, so it's only fitting that the referees fecked it up as well.

Who in the picture is supposed to be offside ?
Looking at the picture that's a fair question. But it must have been Moukoko, on the bottom right of the screenshot, because there was no one else around.
Pov: today is a holiday and you're playing the current cup holders:

Not that it makes it better, and the tweet's proposal of giving the big stadium to the women sounds very reasonable, but Niedersachsen is protestant and the holiday was yesterday..
So you're telling me they had all the time in the world to get to the stadium early enough for kickoff?
