http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/1...l-video-schiri-uebertreibt-54139160.bild.html Another week, another VAR controversy. This time the referee in the Moenchengladbach - Schalke game gives the home side a penalty, but the VAR pointed out that there should have been a foul before the ball enters the penalty area. The referee checks the monitor and gives a free-kick for the defending team. However, he did see the action clearly and did not give a free-kick at the time. There are 8.9 seconds between the two actions. http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/1-bundesliga/jupp_in_frankfurt-54135678.bild.html No controversy, but a curious scene in the Frankfurt - Bayern game. Referee Harm Osmers shows a straight red card to Frankfurt's Marius Wolf. Wolf was already alone in the locker room when the kit manager told him to come back. After reviewing the video, Osmers said sorry to Wolf and changed the decision to a yellow.
http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/bayer-leverkusen/video-schiri-aerger-54132734.bild.html Another controversy, from Friday's game. A clear red card foul on Leverkusen's Julian Brandt was only punished with yellow. The VAR did not intervene.
DFB Pokal Round of 16 Mainz - Stuttgart: Tobias Stieler, Dr. Matthias Joellenbeck, Christian Fischer, Benedikt Kempkes Paderborn - Ingolstadt: Felix Zwayer, Dr. Martin Thomsen, Holger Henschel, Arne Aarnink Nuernberg - Wolfsburg: Daniel Siebert, Lasse Koslowski, Jan Seidel, Christian Gittelmann Schalke - Cologne: Robert Hartmann, Christian Leicher, Markus Schueller, Frank Willenborg Bayern Munich - Dortmund: Sascha Stegemann, Mike Pickel, Rafael Foltyn, Markus Schmidt Heidenheim - Eintracht Frankfurt: Sven Jablonski, Thomas Gorniak, Marco Achmueller, Timo Gerach Werder Bremen - Freiburg: Guido Winkmann, Christian Bandurski, Arno Blos, Rene Rohde Moenchengladbach - Leverkusen: Manuel Graefe, Guido Kleve, Markus Sinn, Daniel Schlager Stegemann with the match of the round.
I've missed a few weeks, but Bibiana Steinhaus just had her fifth Bundesliga match last weekend, taking charge of Moenchengladbach's 2-0 win over Augsburg.

I read that the age limit for German referees in the Bundesliga was 47 and that’s why Dr.Jochen Drees retired. Is that only a stipulation for on-the-field referees? I see he is listed as a Video Assistant so I assume it is only on-field retirement.
Yes, DFB kept several referees who reached the age limit as Video Assistants. Besides Drees, there are Wolfgang Stark and Guenter Perl.

In the 10th minute of the game between Frankfurt and Mainz, the visiting fans threw candies on the field as Frankfurt's Marius Wolf goes to take a corner. Referee Aytekin stopped the game, took a candy and offered it to Mainz's Nigel De Jong, who refused with a smile. Aytekin laughed understandingly, unwrapped the candy, and ate it himself. Superb reaction. http://buzz.eurosport.de/fussball-2...eintracht-frankfurt-gegen-fsv-mainz-05-32785/
I was streaming that match on a 2nd monitor. I actually laughed out loud. GIF here. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/7vy0v6/mainz_fans_throw_candy_on_the_pitch_referee/

His last two visits resulted in plenty of cards (one red each for Dortmund) and bad results for the home side (2-3 vs Leipzig, 4-4 vs Schalke after leading 4-0). His last game with Frankfurt was in the DFB Pokal game in which he ate a candy thrown by a fan. Let's see if something interesting will happen again this time.

The last time these two met in Leipzig was in the DFB Pokal in a match filled with talking points, not least Ralf Rangnick marching onto the pitch to show a replay on his smartphone to referee Zwayer at half time. Bayern can also claim the title if they win and both Schalke and Dortmund fail to win.

In addition she was also the fourth official three times in a Gladbach match and twice in a Hertha match. Schmidt with the match that should finally see Bayern claim their title. Aytekin with the Monday night clash in Leipzig.
100% PK. At the moment the ball was played by the defender, had the attacker done any of these four things? preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision - No clearly attempting to play a ball which is close to him when this action impacts on an opponent - No making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball - No challenging an opponent for the ball - No. This is the closest one, but at the time the defender plays the ball the attacker is standing 5 or 6 yards from the defender. The player in an offside position challenges the defender after he has deliberately played the ball and "reset" offside.
