Thanks for all the updates Holle, terrible news. Hope everyone is ok.

@Holle - what does that stuff say? I dont' speak German.

An incident occured on the way from the hotel to the stadium. The bus is damaged, one person is injured and is brought to hospital. Please don't panic we'll keep you updated.

Do we need to add Dortmund flags to our Facebook pages yet?

 

[Holle]

Players escorted away now.

 

[Holle]

Apparently Bartra suffered severe cuts on his right hand and arm.

Dortmund boss Watzke is confirming on TV that it hasn't been fireworks.

Hopefully it's only fireworks ... Idiot fans are better than something else.

Innit

It doesn't sound like the next instalment of ISIS related terrorism.

Unless they have a special needs membership

Sounds like they'll not be getting much sleep and therefore get beat when they play tomorrow.

They do seem to have quite an inclusive policy with regards to that

 

[Le Chacal]

I cant see them playing tomorrow

UEFA can. Of course nothing to do with revenue, and everything to do with putting on a united front against evil and showing them that they can't win. Or something along those lines.

German police and authorities will have something to say about it

It could have been anything, that's worrying.

Its an odd policy.

They discriminate against everyone else

 

[Holle]

Without wanting to speculate there's a few things which don't strike me es ISIS-esque.

Because of the location of the attack it looks like the bomber only wanted to harm Dortmund, no bystanders. The bomber knew the path of the bus and probably was nearby to let the bombs detonate at the 'right' time.

That's not exactly typical, is it?

 

[Holle]

 

[Markeh]

this doesnt look firework-ish to me, something more serious then?

 

[Holle]

Press conference of the police imminent.

 

[StevieM]

Are there any Danish players in the Dortmund squad?

 

[Hansern]

Just youngsters in the B and youth squad

 

[StevieM]

In that case - we definitely can't rule out KHL as a suspect.

 

[Holle]

PC is starting now.

 

[Holle]

There have been 3 explosions in a specific attack on the bus near team hotel.

There is nothing concrete yet on behalf of the bomber or his motives.

A letter has been found near the explosion site.

Bartra suffered a broken arm and cuts. Several splinters had to be removed from his hand and arm. He's being operated right now.
