I don't know, I'm quite skeptical and find him hard to judge. Young, unexperienced coach who did pretty well in his first half season in the Bundesliga, but then managing a squad like BVB with all its quality and players who can make a difference is completely different from the challenges awaiting in Bremen... Feels like taking another gamble. At this point, I'd strongly prefer someone with at least some experience successfully managing a club with low financial resources and getting the best out of mediocre players; regardless if we manage to stay up or get relegated.

Baumann should sack himself too, as should the supervisory board. What a farce of a club have we become. Ridden with indecisiveness, lack of plan, and straight out incompetence; from bottom to the top. Hope Schaaf manages to save us once more, but in such a short time, it's unrealistic to expect anything... Let's hope for the best...

Kohfeldt sacked. Schaaf takes over for the last match.

Yeah, I saw his post on fb. That's crazy. You will hardly find another person like Arndt who is Werder through and through...

Looks like I missed out on some fun here but props to @Stan and the staff for including the post that crossed the line in the bans and suspensions thread. A long overdue improvement to the forum.

Also if you're aquaplaning, you're not supposed to turn the steering wheel or hit the brakes anyway, just hold it straight and gently ease your foot off the accelerator. Doing anything else will just make it worse.

I don't get why they just didn't turn the steering wheels? For the first driver you can understand, but the drivers after should really see that and not make the same mistake.

According to Deichstube, we're in talks with Terzic and Leitl for the next season.

The general synopsis is a bit weird, I only watched the first series through interest in the Franklin expedition and I have to say they did the story very well. I'm not sure if they had the relevant information on the lead poisoning not being a major factor but included it into the story line very and explains the hallucinogenic scenes. Just not sure about the second season but will give it a look.

Yes, in the first season. Billy Bob Thornton is also in it, and plays one of the best villains in TV history there IMO.

It's finally happened!!! And it only took a grand total of 33 hours to do so. I'm slightly mad!!!

I think it’s all a part of the Dahiya Doctrine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahiya_doctrine?wprov=sfti1) - which is part of the IDFs states plan to target civilian infrastructure. Shit like that is why I think Israel’s government is completely full of shit on the Palestinian issue. But we can take it further, to demonstrate how full of shit they are by taking some of the online rhetoric we see and applying facts to them. One big talking point is “We are at war with Hamas, not Palestinians - we have no problem with them. If Gaza got rid of Hamas, we would leave them alone.” But then let’s take this recent incident: https://www.timesofisrael.com/pa-2-palestinians-shot-by-idf-were-security-officers-not-terrorists/ The West Bank has NOTHING to do with Hamas. It’s governed by the PLO - which doesn’t even like Hamas and has recognised Israel’s right to exist since 1993. How are they treated? 1.) Still live in 24/7 military occupation where they have their homes and their land taken from them and the West Bank continues to get smaller and smaller. 2.) Still have 500+ military checkpoints in their own territory that can make any sort of travel anywhere take hours. 3.) Over 10 Palestinians killed there this week alone So surely Palestinian-Israelis in Israel (not Gaza or the West Bank) as Israeli citizens have better treatment. How are they treated? 1.) 95% of hate crimes against Palestinians are not charged by Israeli police (https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-israel-police-fail-to-charge-offenders-in-95-of-reported-anti-palestinian-attacks-1.5447966) 2.) They are codified by law as second-class citizens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Law:_Israel_as_the_Nation-State_of_the_Jewish_People 3.) They have widespread discrimination through the funding of their ethnically/religiously based discrimination of education: https://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/israel2/JILPfinal.pdf What’s happening right now in Gaza isn’t about Hamas or terrorism. It’s about removing Palestinians from having land where they have self-determination & keeping them as permanent second class citizens. And it’s made all the more clear when stuff like this happens: https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/netanyahu-money-to-hamas-part-of-strategy-to-keep-palestinians-divided-583082 - Hamas is useful to Netanyahu, effective Palestinian leadership isn’t.

I'm expecting full on oldschool Thomas Schaaf harakiri football. A solid 6-5 win against Gladbach. But yea, Baumann does not look good in all this.

Not saying this was a false step- the reasoning is remarkable, though. Baumann said they sacked Kohfeldt because his relationship with the team would be on an all- time low, not even a month after Baumann had said the reason not to sack Kohfeldt would be the very good relationship he had with the team. What's true now? Hope Schaaf succeeds in his probably last match as a Werder manager, would be sad if this club legend had to oversee a relegation.

In effect it is Israel which uses the population of Gaza as a human shield. By blockading Gaza, they essentially force any resistance into a position where if they want to resist, they must do so within the confines of one of the most densely-populated places on earth. Even if they wanted to, there is no possibility to move and fight from somewhere which is a safe distance from civilians. This is a win-win for Israel since the outcome is either 1 - Nobody in Gaza wants to fight, out of fear of drawing Israeli attacks on a civilian area; or 2 - Strikes come from Gaza, and Israel can automatically absolve itself morally because the enemy are using "human shields" by the mere fact of existing in Gaza.

It's aged so well. Feels like a modern movie.

Heat is an all time classic. Masterclass performances from both De Niro and Pacino.

Watched Heat, I remember watching it as a hyper teenager who wasn't paying attention to it at the cinema. At 16 we managed to get into an 18 with fake ID - 9/10.

@Devil-Dick Willie how did Michael even get out of that first round?! What a first round and what a main event. IMO Charles will beat anyone whether it’s Conor or Dustin for the next year or 2. His age is a factor so he needs these fights ASAP. To me the best 2 fighters in the LW division just fought. Sad to see Tony get dry piped yet again he’s past it now. Sad really as in his prime he would have challenged Khabib. He’s so past it now though.

I usually set alarms for boxing and MMA as theyre my favourite sports. That was my plan tonight/today.. but... 2 of my good friends who are basically McGregor/AJ/Fury casual combat sports fans decided to invite themselves to mine for a “PS5 and we will stay up with for it” night. We gamed, had an amazing pizza and then got drunk.... They managed till 1am till I sent them home in the taxi after speaking to one of the lads wife. I’m now smashed at 4:30am waiting for the main event struggling craving sleep. Please hurry up Tony then Michael and Charles. The things you do for the sports you love. Really hope Chandler wins. Very marketable and likeable guy.

There were examples of the IDF targeting journalists in the past as well. They know that their actions being reported on isn't good for their deluded hopes of wanting to be seen as the good guys defending themselves.

Honestly, I just don´t see how Israel can have a normal relationship with its non-jewish population. The idea of a jewish state in itself is in contradiction with a liberal, non-confessional and multiethnic state. There are good reasons, obviously, that led to its foundation, I´m not going to deny it. But the concept of Israel in my opinion is always going to involve a degree of "jewish supremacy" in its internal borders. The basic problem since its territorial expansion in 1967 remains: they need that territorial expansion in order to avoid being pushed to the sea by a second Nasser, but at the same time they treat the native population of these territories as colonized not as citizens. This, on its turn, estimulates the anti-israeli feelings in the region and we end up falling in a non-ending circle of hostility. I wish there was an easy fix and the two-state solution came into fruition, but I doubt it´ll happen in my lifetime.

Honestly, from the outside looking in... it seems like a lot of people in the media just like shitting on Newcastle fans, for whatever reason. I feel like it's been like that for a long time, even before Ashley - because even while Ashley is buddy buddy with a lot in the media (for business reasons or otherwise, but probably business reasons), I felt like the media & TalkSport listening types were pretty quick to give Newcastle fans shit for being "entitled" because they wanted their club to show some ambition and push on in the late 2000s instead of just stagnate. TalkSport's for morons anyways though, so fuck em.

Holy moly. Nobody was hurt, thankfully.
