Three things we learnt from the Bundesliga Konferenz
Bundesliga Matchday 26 – Eight games left. The matchday opened with a relegation scrap between St Pauli and Hoffenheim. The Hamburg natives saw off the visitors 1-0 to give them some breathing room on Bochum. While Hoffenheim are once again sucked straight back into the relegation fight. Today, we saw a focus on the European spots with Mainz and Freiburg drawing 2-2, Wolfsburg losing to Augsburg 1-0, and Borussia Mönchengladbach beating Werder Bremen 4-2. Bayern were also in action against Union Berlin, but could only muster a draw in the capital. Here is what we learnt: Mainz and Freiburg played out an exciting 2-2 draw, but after wins for Borussia Mönchengladbach and Augsburg, only seven points separates third and ninth. Before today, you would have said Mainz had a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League, but with only eight games remaining, it's very difficult to point out who will step up and go on a run as they keep tripping up on one another. Gladbach, despite their loss against Mainz last weekend, showed heart to not fully collapse after they threw away a two-goal lead against Werder Bremen. With a hat-trick from Alassane Plea and a goal from Minecraft streamer (I am going to milk this for as long as possible) Tim Kleindienst saw them win 4-2 and move up to sixth. While Augsburg have now played themselves into being outsiders for a European sport, they have now kept six clean sheets in a row after a 1-0 win against Wolfsburg. #FinnDahmen4England 20% possession. That is all Union needed to somehow, come away with a point against Bayern. Despite Steffen Baumgart being suspended, Die Eisenern put in a great defensive performance to move themselves seven points clear of the relegation battle. The result was also a result of Bayern's poor finishing. For the first 75 minutes Bayern resorted to pot shots as they struggled to break down Union's block. They looked like they had come away with a 'champions win' (a win where you had to work hard for it) but a mistake from Jonas Urbig allowed Union to score an unlikely equaliser. Bayern will have to hope that Stuttgart can do them a favour tomorrow evening, or things may begin to get a bit hot under the collar, especially with Bayern still competing in Europe. (*Mikhail Gorbachev probably said this on the morning of November 10th 1989) Why would I dedicate a specific section to a player who was red carded? You must be new around here. 24 games. 10 yellow cards. 1 red. (His first of the season!!) Football Heritage. A very strong argument could be made that Kohr is the dirtiest player in the Bundesliga. The amount of yellows he has been given does not correlate to the challenges he puts in, which says a lot. If we dive deeper into the disciplinary stats, in the ALL-TIME Bundesliga table, Kohr is second behind only Stefan Effenberg and when it comes to points, the 31-year-old is only 17 off the former Bayern midfielder. If Mainz qualify for the Champions League, the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal or Mohammed Salah will not know what hit them (literally) and the yellow card record in the Champions League. Kohr may be in his Michael Jordan 91-93 era of picking up the most cards each season. GGFN | Jack Meenan

Dr. Roland Kohr shares stories from the field
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — For decades, Dr. Roland Kohr has been at the forefront of forensic pathology in the Wabash Valley, and today he is combining that science with storytelling. Kohr is a renowned forensic pathologist that served as Vigo County's Coroner for four terms. He said his favorite part of the job was blending medicine with crime. 'My wife likes to say, on occasion, that I can be a doctor and play cops and robbers at the same time', Kohr said. 'That's satisfying, especially when you help see that justice gets done.' As a specialist in the field, Kohr performed almost 8,000 autopsies and was asked to speak at multiple high-profile trials, including the recent Delphi case. He said his background in education gave him comfort, despite the high stakes. 'With the teaching background I have, it really made it easy to speak to a jury', Kohr said. 'I realized, what I am doing to the jury is teaching them more than anything else. I don't neccessarily advocate for one side or the other, but who I advocate for is the deceased person. I'm the person speaking on their behalf, whereas the prosecutor responds for the state, and the defense attorney represents the accused. Only one person actually speaks for the deceased person.' Kohr said many people have told him he needs to write a book about all he has seen throughout his career. Kohr offered the idea to a publisher but was denied because of a lack of social media presence, so he began recording a podcast called 'Kohroner Chronicles' from his own home. 'I choose stories that are of general interest which reflect my involvement from a scientific standpoint, from the commonsense standpoints, and how it all fits together and why it makes sense', Kohr said. 'I'm trying to keep a nice story that's 15 to 20 minutes long, without getting into way too much detail.' Kohr has a wealth of stories through his decades of forensic work, including some that local residents may not have heard of. 'I haven't got it recorded yet, but one of the episodes is going to have to do with the two surfing deaths we had in Vigo County', Kohr said. 'People are going to say, surfing death, what. We'll you'll have to stay tuned and listen to the podcast to find out.' Through the podcast process, Kohr has continued to work on his book. This year, he is looking to finish the writing and present the newest version to a publisher. 'It will be a combination of stories, and the stories are not just about crime', Kohr said. 'Part of the stories are going to be about Vigo County politics and how it impacted the office, the obstacles I faced early on. In some cases, it was downright hostility. Some interesting personalities I've had to deal with and some interesting twists and turns we've had over the years.' Dr. Kohr's book is still in the final stages, but you can reserve your copy or read more about his podcast here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
