Lions Continue to Whimper

What is up with der Lowen? Three games, three loses, and firmly rooted to the bottom of the second division of the Bundesliga. This weeks tormentors were Rot Weiss Ahlen (?), a team I have never heard of till now. From what I can make out on the official website, TSV dominated early on, but found themselves a goal down on 56 minutes. This was compounded in the 69th minute when defender Beda was shown a red card for what in my piss poor German appears to be for waving a red map in an emergency. And rightly so. But against a numerically superior team, they manged to equalise with just five minutes left, only to give up a last minute goal, to go down by two goals to one. So still pointless after three games, and the next match in two weeks against against fifth place Duisberg. "We must now necessarily the home game against Duisburg, no matter how. Even if we play shit - there are at the end only three points." Is the rough translation from TSV defender Torben Hoffmann, and I would have to agree, since last years winter break the lions have been woeful.
