Nurnberg v. Bayern Reaction

And now for a feature I like to call, "Are you effing kidding me?!?"

Okay, Kraft, I know you're young. And somewhat inexperienced. But can you explain to me why you felt it was a good idea to come so far off your line that you were so far out of the box that you did not appear on screen when the goal was scored? I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Yeah, I know your back line has problems. Yes, our defense is somewhat lacking. But that doesn't excuse a failed attempt to clear with your foot, when you actually had a defender there and, had you been on your line, you would have had a chance to stop the shot. I'd say it's a "rookie mistake" but you're the number one keeper for the best club in German history. You don't get to make those kind of mistakes. Do that again and I might start thinking bring in Neuer is a good idea. And for the record, Jorg would NEVER have done that.

And, while we're on the topic of ridiculously dumb moves, Arjen, let's have a chat for a moment. I know that this season has been frustrating. I know that your best friend had to leave because our coach is a giant dumbass and that he's been blatantly taking shit out on the players loyal to Mark. And I know that, often, it feels like you're the only person on the pitch actually trying to WIN and not just not lose. And, without a doubt, today's ref was a blind arsehole. However, seeing as your the only player who seems capable of actually finding the net and/or creating chances for his teammates...could you maybe have waited to yell at the ref until he couldn't red card you for it? I'm not blaming you, I'm just saying that it's a crappy situation. But know that I can't stay mad at you, because at least you care enough to get mad.
