Eco Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Just now, nudge said: Mostly because clubs in the lower tiers do not have technical means for VAR in their stadiums. I figured that would be it. I wonder how much it costs and where the cutoff point is? So, let's say a small club makes it to the next round, would they have to move their match to a VAR capable stadium? Or just pay the fee?

Not sure about the costs but since VAR is only used in 1. and 2. Bundesliga it would still be unreasonable to ask lower tier clubs install it for just one or two Cup matches anyway. I think the whole setup (cables; cameras; installation; etc.) cost around 200000 Euro to install so it's a lot of money for those clubs that are already struggling to make ends meet. It's actually funny, if a lower league club makes it to the next round and plays at home, DFB have a portable version of VAR to be used. Sort of VAR in a van That's what I've read but I've never seen it in action anyway.

Well you will have the opportunity to see it in action soon, as Verl, Kaiserslautern and us are qualified for the next round. I wonder, when was the last time two 4th tier clubs and one 3rd tier club qualified for the round of 16? Just checked it last time three non-DFL clubs went through to the third round was in 2014/15, two 3.Liga clubs and one RL club back then, though.

I'm sure that Kaiserslautern already have VAR installed. Not sure if you lot do, but I'd be surprised if Verl did.
Moderator Tommy Posted October 30, 2019 Moderator Posted October 30, 2019 Phew, we're through. First half was very shaky, and you could tell that the team is a bit insecure. They 2nd half was much better, and we could have scored even 1-2 more. But I'm just happy that we won and advanced to the next round. Hopefully it'll give us confidence for the derby on Sunday! Only 20k in the Stadium today, which is a shame, but a bit understandable for a mid-week fixture. Great atmosphere where I was though. Standing is a bit different than sitting
Rucksackfranzose Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 The round of 16 matches are drawn: Frankfurt - Leipzig Leverkusen - Stuttgart Bayern - Hoffenheim Schalke - Hertha BSC Saarbrücken - Karlsruhe Bremen - Dortmund Kaiserslautern - Düsseldorf Verl - Union Berlin

Administrator Stan Posted February 3, 2020 Administrator Posted February 3, 2020 Round of 16 Tuesday 4th February, 2020 Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig, 17.30 Kaiserslautern vs Dusseldorf, 17.30 Schalke vs Hertha Berlin, 19.45 Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund, 19.45 Wednesday 5th February, 2020 Bayer Leverkusen vs Stuttgart, 17.30 SC Verl vs Union Berlin, 17.30 Saarbrucken vs Karlsruher, 19.45 Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim, 19.45
Rucksackfranzose Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Finally football at the stadium again. Although we're technically still in the winter break, first league game after the break will be on Feb, the 22nd, we might stand a chance since Karlsruhe are in horrid form at the moment. Can't wait to see the match.
Michael Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 I am hoping that Frankfurt beat RB Leipzig again today, this time in the DFB Cup. We beat them 10 days ago, I am hoping for a repeat. Reaching the quarter finals of the cup and knocking out a strong side like RB Leipzig would be nice.
nudge Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 I hope BVB will give us a nice 121st birthday present by losing. Yeah right.
Moderator Tommy Posted February 4, 2020 Moderator Posted February 4, 2020 Debut for Zanka. Nice to see that Barkok gets a chance. Okoye 2nd keeper today. He's a born Düsseldorfer.
SchalkeUK Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Probably another boring 90 minutes coming up later, but I will be keeping an eye on Tommy's gang and hope they can turn recent results around -

SchalkeUK Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 2 goals within a minute of each other - nice start!
God is Haaland Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Haven't seen such a stupid handball in quite a while. Imagine him doing that while playing for the national team next Euro.
SchalkeUK Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Oh Dear Tommy! Now 2nd half and 2-2 that's better - reliale Herr Hennings
