    Love it to be on Eir Sport but they're heavily into Pro 12 coverage if I'm not mistaken. Might there be a conflict of interest?

    Maybe not...

    Seems to be confirmed it's coming to Eir Sport. Nice one.

    It wont be a big loss to Napoli. If they are getting any money for him, it will be great business

    Juve have conceded 6 goals this week; even with their injuries at the back Parma aren't exactly killers. They were awful vs Lazio too but got away with it then.
    They will need to improve significantly in the next few months if they want to do much in Europe.

    Looks like Juventus need better options at CB. Chiellini will help when he returns but he's 35 this summer. I wonder might Juve try to get Lucas Hernandez in the next window. I know Bayern are very keen but they're not the only ones in need of a player like him.

    Pleased for Gervinho having a strong season. Seems like a good guy.

    Wow Inter are 1-0 down to Bologna at home. Little over twenty minutes remaining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,831 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    It feels like Inter are in free fall at the moment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Full-Time and Bologna beat Inter 1-0. Loud boos from the home fans. Shocking result as Bologna hadn't won a game since the end of September and were beaten 4-0 by Frosinone last week.

    Only caught the last 25 minutes but Inter didn't show creativity and Icardi and Lautaro were disappointing. Huge pressure on Spalletti now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Spalletti imo should have been sacked after PSV now he's taking the piss. Time to go


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,547 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    That could be the end of Spalletti at Inter, watched the last 20 minutes of that and the Coppa Italia loss to Lazio and they just can’t create anything. The commentators suggested that Conte could be in line to replace him.

    Also it’s nice to finally be able to watch Serie A this season. Hope Eleven Sports exit this market fully in the summer.

    Ah how is Dzeko able to play in this game?? Did he not get any ban for his red card for spitting at the ref?

    Nah 2 match cup ban, I dont know if he spat at the ref either. Doesn't seem to suggest that he did spit at him.

    Great work by Paqueta. Last thing Roma needed but they ain't out of this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,828 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Piatek with another goal for Milan, some season he's having!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Roma could count themselves unlucky. Gattuso was so negative I'm surprised he didn't try bring on a second goalie.
    Cahlanoglu & Rodriguez down the left have less pace than the Milan Grande Legends team.
    Ref was awful too; ignored & actively avoided a penalty shout & sending Pelligrini off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,679 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    If you meant penalty shout after Kolarovs foul that ended with Milan player booked, an offside was flagged earlier that's why it wasn't given.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    That's twice this season Piatek has scored at the Olimpico as he did it with Genoa too. Looked like Donnarumma was great based on the highlights.

    Eir Sport 2 are showing a double bill of Serie A tomorrow from 6pm: Frosinone vs Lazio and Cagliari vs Atalanta.

    Not sure if I can handle another Inter match


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    No wonder Juve smash this league every season, the quality is really poor

    Yet they couldn't beat Parma at home last week.

    Even a crap team can beat the best team on a given day. Newcastle v City for example. My point is that generally the quality at Inter is quite poor yet they're 4th. I don't know if you're watching the match now but it's shocking so far. There's definitely quality in some players but the team seems so disjointed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    VAR for the goal... Looks like it's off D'Ambrosios arm...

    Yep. Feck sake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,831 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    I fancy Parma to get a win here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,831 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Well I was quite wrong lol

    Great goal by Inter


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Boom, only on the pitch. Took that really well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Lafont played very well against Napoli and made some good saves. Good chance for Juve to extend their lead now.

    The quality at Inter is quite poor yet they beat Spurs and got a draw with Barcelona earlier in the season. Was Serie A's quality poor then or is it only now? They are on a bad run of form right now and lacking confidence. United are fourth now but were on a bad run and lacking confidence earlier in the season. These things fluctuate. It's silly to dismiss an entire league based on one team's form.

    Also City smashed the Premier League last season. Was it therefore a poor league?

    All of the top leagues have a big drop off in quality outside of the top tiers.

    Another goal for Piatek. Man's on fire.

    Edit: Having watched the highlights, Zapata is as well. Goal and assist for him. Wonder will there be some big bids for him in the summer. Ronaldo was involved in all of the goals for Juve as well.

    Can't believe Frosinone won away at Sampdoria. It would be mad if they stay up.

    Juve look ready ahead of their match with Atletico, comfortably beating Frosinone 3-0. Ronaldo grabbed another goal and Dybala with a rocket of a strike.
