Dortmund v Monaco

smiffyboy

Tonight's game could be cancelled due to reports that there was an explosion on the Dortmund team bus and the player Bartra has been hospitalised, worrying times if true.

Very worrying! Hope he and his team mates and the staff are ok.

Chizz

Terrible news. Hope Marc Barta is ok.

An explosion has hit a bus carrying the Borussia Dortmund football team to a Champions League match, the club says.

Player Marc Bartra has been injured and has been taken to hospital.

North-Rhine Westphalia police said they were at the scene and there are reports that the fire service are also there.

The team tweeted (in German) that the other players were safe.

Surely the match will be postponed. Won't it..?

Christ. Horrible scary world at the minute.

You'd have to think so.

Callumcafc

Game is "delayed" as of right now. No decision on postponement until 7:30 apparently.

Apparently a firework but still

EDIT: bombs

Bartra reported to be safe with only minor injuries.

Postponed to tomorrow.

18:45, unless it's a tweeting error, is a 5:45pm KO tomorrow.

Have you not seen the housing just outside the glamour areas. Definitely poor people who work for and supporting the rich.

Hmm, looks like everyone is ok. Bartra a minor injury.

I'll watch Juve v Barca instead.

Fortunately the fuckwits responsible appear to have been even more inept than usual

We need a load of words joined together along with a hashtag.
That should make it better.

How can your intelligence be so low that some twat sitting on a bag on sand in Mosul can convince you to bomb a bus.

I think we can all agree that the real enemy here is Twitter hashtags!

I hope everyone has change their Facebook profile picture to either the German flag or the colours of Dortmund in a show of faux solidarity.

I've gone the extra mile and started praying.

Let's not jump to conclusions here. It doesn't do anyone any favours.
