Season Begins With Controversy at RheinEnergieStadion
Koln 2-2 Dortmund
What a start to Vladimir Puskás' first season as a manager! After 8 minutes, Koln were a goal down due to Neven Subotic making a good connection with head and ball, out jumping Lebonese defender, Youssef Mohamad. However 12 minutes later Maniche got his second goal in as many games to draw the two sides level. Koln came out the better side after the half time break, however it was the 69th minute in which the controversy started. Sebastien Freis launched a floating ball into the area which was headed into the back of the net by Novakovic. He wheeled off celebrating infront of the fans, without realising that the referee had given Dortmund a free-kick. Fans failed to realise what was wrong with the goal, so did the commentators! To top it all off, Dortmund took the lead in the 83rd minute due to a goal from Brazilian, Tinga. Puskás had already used all three substitutions when Zoran Tosic had to be taken off, forcing Koln to play the last 5 minutes with 10 men. However, it was Puskás and his men who had the last laugh. Sebastien Freis picked up the ball, in what looked like an offside position, and buried the ball into the back of the net, 2 minutes into injury time. His first competitive goal for Koln and what a time to get it!
After the match, Puskás stated his disbelief to Novakovic's dissallowed goal and the German FA have remained very quiet on the matter. When asked about Freis' late equaliser, he simply laughed and said "That's life."

Puskas Loses First Game In Charge of Koln
Frankfurt 3-2 Koln
Frankfurt never really looked like losing this game, however they did suffer a scare late on. Amanatidis got the ball rolling after 18 minutes and Selim Teber doubled Frankfurts lead a minute after half time. Koln were two goals down, yet showed the discipline and determination to pull the game back. Lukas Podolski got on the end of Novakovic's cross on the 57th minute, and less than three minutes later Sebastien Freis levelled the game with a brilliant placed shot. However, as quick as Koln equalised, Frankfurt pulled back the lead with Selim Teber's second of the game. Youssef Mohamad was then sent off in the 68th minute for a professional foul. Koln almost grabbed another late equaliser with a string of corners in the latter stages of the game. However, it was too little too late. Vladimir Puskás and his squad went home empty handed.
German Cup

Yeah really appreciate the comments guys, keep them coming oO)
1.FC Koln Thrashed by Werder
Werder Bremen 4-1 Koln
Vladimir Puskás will be struggling to understand why his side played so awfully in this game compared to previous outings. They failed to put up a fight as Hugo Almeida, Claudio Pizarro and Torsten Frings put Bremen 3-0 up before the 30th minute. Lukas Podolski grabbed Koln's only goal on the 36th minute. Bremen coasted the rest of the game and Tim Borowski added the 4th goal in the 75th minute. Puskás was reported to give written warnings to all defenders who played in this game. New signing, Grygoriy Yarmash, spoke out on the matter saying, "Yes the warning was deserved, there wasn't one player on that pitch worthy of praise. Although Werder Bremen have a very good side the way we played was inexcusable."
Honours Even at RheinEnergieStadion
Koln 0-0 Bochum
Most Koln fans were pleased with taking a point, but further pleased with the massive turn around in the Koln defence. Guglielmo Stendardo made a very impressive display, giving Bochum striker Stanislav Sestak a very rough afternoon. However it was the injurys picked up by Sebastien Freis (hamstring) and Milivoje Novakovic (calf) that marred the game. Both players will miss up to 3 months of action. Vladimir Puskás stated after the game that this is a very big blow to his ambitions of a top half finish this season. However he has stated that he believes 21 year-old Moroccan striker, Adil Chihi, is well up to the challenge of being his first-choice striker to partner Lukas Podolski.
"This is where our season starts!"
Hertha BSC 0-2 Koln
1.FC Koln seemed to be an entirely different team out on the pitch today with an emphatic all-round performance. There appears to be a silver-lining with Novakovic's injury as his replacement, Adil Chihi bagged two goals to get Koln's season underway. There was little to talk about in the first half, except Server Jeperov coming close with a shot which whistled past the woodwork. However it was Jeperov's precision pass which unleashed Chihi against Hertha's goal to give Koln the lead on the 70th minute. 5 minutes later Chihi got on the end of a brilliant cross from Fabrice Ehret, heading the ball in at the near post. Koln fans were very pleased with the result, one fan said "This is where our season starts!"
