My skin tone is darker than that, home boy. Stanley is a cracker who walked into the wrong hood.

We accept billionaire refugees with open arms in Highbury. Need a couple of casinos around these parts to be honest.

I will soon proof that the firecracker theory is nonsense.

[Stan]

Bartra requiring operation on his wrist. Presume glass in his arm.

Fucking hell talk about close. Now if it was terrorism how did they know the route, do Dortmund have a set route or is it quickest way through traffic? How far is the training complex?

They stay in team hotel before the match, it's not so hard to figure out the route.

Ok fair enough I wasn't aware their pre match ritual. 

Police are now saying it was deliberately targeting the team bus & they're investigating the authenticity of a letter found near the incident. 

Also cant help myself:

I thought Frizl was Austrian or something.

P1

Firecrackers don't do that against any kind of glass(especially not bullet-proof glass - note it's not confirmed that this bus uses bullet-proof glass). 

P2

The police not only stated that serious explosives were used, but also that those explosive devices were hidden inside a hedgerow.

The distance between the row and the right lane of the street is at least 10m.

The pressure caused by an explosive against an object at distance r is inversely proportional to r^2.

I don't know what is worse; ultras attacking a team, terrorists, or a random attack. All are terrible and will have consequences, particularly regarding German football. I wonder if this will change certain procedures.

In Western Europe surely, has their not been something in the Middle East and Africa? 

How long before we see airport style security at stadia? 

They already have it in America. I had to empty my pockets and take my belt and shoes off just to go to the fucking team shop of baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks.

I'd be all for it to be honest, you can literally walk into any stadium without problems so long as you have a ticket to get through the turn-style. So long as you don't have a bag which security always search then you're free to do what you want, it's a sad fact but it's pretty easy for a terrorist to attack within a stadium and I'm just glad that it hasn't happened already. 

I'd support airport style security at football grounds, a full body scanner as you enter eliminates the risk. 

Even with bags I'm always slightly concerned by how cursory the search is and in some places you could easily avoid it. Unfortunately I fear it's just a matter of time.

Yes he is, but when did factual accuracy ever get in the way of a shit joke

[Stan]

German police ruling out terrorism. 

Wonder what the explosive devices are that were  found in nearby hedges. And what the size of them were. 

Bizarre that if not terrorist, who would go to such lengths to cause such relatively little damage and not use all the explosives? 

Maybe they were meant for other times tonight while match was on but they became even more of a pussy and chickened out of it.

You used to get patted down now it's a token gesture and even then it's not great

Of course it's terrorism, it may not be Islamic terrorism but bombs and targeting people for mass murder whatever the motive is terrorism really. 

[Spike]

If this had happened stateside two people would be dead, SWAT would be deployed, half the city shutdown, all while an anti-fascism rally got in the face of the cops. Across town a young black man and a white man would be dead from police shooting; the white guy forgotten about as Fox and CNN argue about the possibility of the young black man being responsible for the bombing despite being dead five minutes before the bomb exploded. Twitter would be in overload with 'journalists' dishing out the scoop they got from their source in London.

[God is Haaland]

The police identified the explosive devices as pipe bombs.

[Panna King]

Arsenal fan tv were at Dortmund last week.....

[Devil-Dick Willie]

Using pipe bombs to target a football team is terrorism. Sorry German police.

I watched the press conference and I can't recall them saying it wasn't terrorism. Don't believe everything Stan claims here.

Stan probably still thinks a firecracker busted those bulletproof windows from 5 meters away
