WTF? Dzenis Burnic gets a yellow in the 4th minute, followed by a second yellow in the 13th minute! What the Actual ********?!?!? Man, If I were Wolf, I would bury his ass so deep on the bench after his mandatory suspension.
Firstly, I did not actually see the game, but was following it on ESPNfc.com's matchtracker, as best I could. Secondly, I heard from a friend of mine that the second yellow on Burnic was totally wrong. If that is the case, I hope the suspension for Burnic is overturned, and the Ref (Winkmann?) is suspended in his place. IIRC, this is the second time this year that this same referee has screwed VfB. Anyone else see the game, and would like to comment?
I didn't see the match. Was checking in on the score as well. Checked towards the end of the first half and thought "Oh well so much for that". Then checked at about the 60th minute and was given hope that VfB could pull out a draw down a man. Unfortunately they couldn't hold out.
I saw the match. The red card clearly decided the encounter where we started off better. Can't stand Burnic, but it was never a second yellow. You can see the play here: I heard the referee apologized for it after the match. Undoubtedly, we'll keep them up again, though they don't deserve it.
