And as usual, I have to wait till tomorrow before Saturday's matches are on the TV here. The Rhur derby and the Cologne-Bayern matches are scheduled to be shown tomorrow. It's always the case for Saturday's action. Delayed telecast...on Sunday afternoons here.

Should be a cracker for the Rhur derby, eh?

Wow. I don't really know what to say in regards to the Reiverderby. Drama indeed. I was watching this early evening yesterday and if there is one thing I will never forget, it has actually nothing to do with the match.

My father happened to see me watching the match and he remarked that Alex Frei's goal was offside. The goal which made it 2-3 to Dortmund (around the 70th minute). He actually didn't know about Frei, only knowing the goal was offside. But since all the while the offside rule always confuses me, I just take my father's word for it. Given I even read that Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp saying it was - http://www.sportinglife.com/football/overseas/germany/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=international_feed/08/09/14/SOCCER_Ger-Dortmund_Reaction.html&TEAMHD=germany
