Buli fixtures 2013-2014

[oldparish]

English Bankruptcy League fixtures are out on June19th. Anyone know when the Bundesliga fixtures are out? As I 'm going to miss out on Celtic got to try and get a trip to the Borussia Park organized.

[HerbertLaumen]

Bundesliga will start on August 9, 2013, last matchday is May 10, 2014.

[Kellerfan]

The match schedule will be published about mid-june.

[oldparish]

Thanks very much chaps

[Kellerfan]

The match schedule will be pulished on Friday 21. June.
DFL-Livestream, 12:00 MEZ on http://www.bundesliga.de/de/liga/news/2 ... 257097.php

The first round cup-fixtures will be drawed this saturday.

[oldparish]

Thanks Kellerfan. Will be watching that. Is the cup draw on the Sportschau?

[Kellerfan]

Yes. ARD Sportschau 18:00 MEZ.

[oldparish]

Thanks. Can't wait to se who we get. And how the fixtures pan out for next season. BVB away first, then Hertha or Braunschweig at home

[Tobe]

Well, BVB away is not my first choice
Braunschweig away would be great, i would love to see the first game of the season live

[Kellerfan]

Braunschweig would be okay for me. Dortmund away would be worst. Our last victory there was 97/8. It's important to have a good start. Who knows that better, than us?

[oldparish]

So, Darmstadt it is then. Good way to start our journey to Berlin. As for the BuLi just an idea thst to catch BVB cold, early in the season could be good for us. They lost CL Final and theit Meisterschaft. Now they've lost Goetze and maybe Lewandowski we couldgo there and get something.

[Kellerfan]

Baumberg may protest against the draw, because of the mistake concerning the RB Leipzig-ball. Perhaps the draw has to be repeated.

[oldparish]

Yes, I saw that Kellerfan, whose fault was that? When will we know about the appeal?And if they have to re-draw, when will that be?

[Kellerfan]

Baumberg prooves if they want to protest. I think if someone protests against the draw, it has to be repeated. We'll hear about that. It was the mistake of the drawing women. During the shuffle the RB-Leipzig-ball rolled into the pro-club-box. So some teams had not the pssibility to be drawn against each other.

[Cormac]

As I 'm going to miss out on Celtic

Something better to do, haven't we?
Have my flight and bed booked, all I need is a ticket to paradise.
Pity, would have thought I could've met ye there.
Anyways, will have a pint on ye, mate.

[oldparish]

Checked out ways of getting from Wales to Scotland and there was nothing very suitable. In fact it would be easier to get to the Borussia Park than Celtic Park. Crazy ,eh? That's why I can't wait 'til Friday to check out the BuLi fixtures. You never know Cormac, maybe next year Borussia will come to Wales pre-season. Kellerfan, if the draw wasn't done properly then it should be done again. It's only fair, unless your club has already drawn BVB , Bayern, Schalke or Borussia

[Cormac]

So, it's Bayern, again.
Well, could've been worse. Best time to play them. I suppose.
I might make it to 3 home matches, vs Freiburg, vs Schalke and vs Wolfsburg
Let's hope for the best.

[oldparish]

I'm constantly checking things out,Cormac. I have a friend(an Everton fan) who absolutely loves the Borussia Park experience. So, I have to arrange things around him. Would like to do Hertha away and then Eintracht (I think) at home the following week .Easyjet from Bristol out. Easyjet from K**n to Gatwick back. As for the opening fixtures, we have to play them sometime so why not first up. They may take a little while to get used to Pep and they may still be hungover (except Ribery of course)

[oldparish]

One other thing. So far, as far as I'm concerned, we've made the best two signings of any BuLi club so far this Summer. I know it's early but we've got two players with proven Bundesliga experience as opposed to last year with Dominguez(worth the transfer fee),de Jong(total waste of money judging on his first season) and Xhaka where I can't make up my mind.

[Kellerfan]

Yeah. Eberl managed two extraordenary transfers for Borussia. We got Raffael (Kiev payed 10 million Euro one year ago) for 5 million. Kruse was a real lucky find.
Thank to a release clause he costed 2,5 million (equal to Mlapa). Without this clause, i bet, we should have payed 7-9 million Euro for him.

I disagree with your judgement on Luuk de Jong. He came from the Netherlands. A country with a very very offensive league. Most of the teams play a 4-3-3 with strong wingers who feed the striker. Borussia is one of the teams with the fewest amount of crosses/flanks (?) in the Bundesliga. Borussia has no player in the top 25-cross-player-statistic That was a harsh change for Luuk. In addition Borussia had to find it's system. The offensiv power lacked. Suddenly he had to get the ball at the center line.
Btw. he saved our ass with the 1:0 goals against Frankfurt, Hannover and Fuerth.
I think his future role is the same, as we saw in the Under 21 Championship. Marking the balls, he gets at the penalty area marking, giving it to the coming midfielders, going into the penalty area and get the ball back. The scoring is obvious

PS. If you have problems to understand my well-wirtten explanations, please let me know.
