    Juve got out of jail once again. Played against 9 men for quite awhile before Rabiot got himself sent off.

    Get a penalty in the 96 minute and Ronny converted

    Against 10 men actually. Looks like the second red card was for a benched player.

    96th minute penalty for Juve. Need to watch that one.

    Great long-range strike from Lazio's Acerbi:

    Good win for them over Torino. Immobile is on fire atm.

    Smalling got his first goal for Roma, although he couldn't possibly miss it.

    Not going well for Ranieri at Samp. The commentator on the highlights said their fans left a banner at the training ground saying 'Sampdoria-Lecce: 3 points'. In the end they had to wait until stoppage time to get a point against Lecce's 10 men.

    No Halloween horror for Milan as they win thanks to Suso's nice free-kick.

    Looked like they deserved the win from the highlights. Their next games will be much tougher tests: Lazio, Juve and Napoli.

    Maybe i'm to harsh but I thought that was awful keeping by Handanovič

    Can, Khedira, Ramsey and Douglas Costa on the bench and Rabiot suspended for Juve, they really are stacked in CM


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


    Thought De Ligt was lucky not to concede a pen for handball.

    Pleased things are going well for Lukaku. 9 goals in 11 league games now.

    Balotelli subjected to racist abuse at Verona and ends up being convinced not to walk off by teammates and opponents. Verona went on to beat Brescia.:

    https://twitter.com/HenryBushnell/status/1191021968562282497

    Uncomfortable scenes. They probably should have walked off with him, although he did go on to score this great goal:

    How good is Immobile

    The guy is on fire


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,134 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    Surely the Italian league need to do something about it, he’s being abused every week it seems.

    Ban all the fans until they self police those idiots, it’s the only way it seems.

    Surprised that was Lazio's first win at the San Siro in 30 years. Juve and Napoli up next for Milan.

    Disappointing result for Atalanta losing at home to Cagliari who are now just behind them on goal difference. Stupid from Ilicic getting himself sent off like that.

    Love watching Sassuolo's Jeremie Boga atm. His dribbling skills are great. Didn't realise he used to be on Chelsea's books. He looks like he's ready for a bigger move.

    Against AC Milan yes. Won in March against Inter 0-1.



    Immobile now at 100 goals in 147 games for Lazio, crazy stats.

    Saw a video from the crowd, it would make your stomach churn, nothing will be done I suspect. Also, the Verona manager Juric said he heard no racist chants, when you have the manager of a club denying It you know that racism is endemic there.

    'If Balotelli was not ready psychologically to face the Verona fanbase and, above all, such a delicate match in which our city and our coach – among the most beloved figures – was taking his final chance at saving his job, then he should've said so and left his place to someone less irritable than him.
    'None of us would've been upset if he had, quite the contrary.
    'The personal declarations of one of the leaders of the Verona Curva cannot justify the witch-hunt sparked by the media and institutions in yet another attempt to criminalise and destroy the entire Ultras world.

    says the Brescia (Ballotelli's own club) Ultras, in soft support of the Verona racists

    Scum.

    Brescia's ultras would be fairly far right also. Shower of idiots, all of them.

    Forgot to add that Balotelli was their main attacking threat and scored a cracker of a goal in the match. Brescia ultras are fools for putting their hateful philosophy above a player who could easily be the difference between whether they stay up or get relegated.

    I say he will be gone in January as he won't put up with this in Italy as someone who is part italian I am shocked at the fans over there.

    Years back I was at a man utd roma match and my god the ultras where doing the fascists hand signal around old Trafford. My dad who's Italian was embarrassed by them.

    The ultras in Italy are really something else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,860 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    the ultras dont give a ****e at most italian clubs about the performances on the pitch , most of them are only interested in self power and political stuff, look at the nocerina ultras back in serie B a few years ago after being banned from attending the local derby away to salernitana they gave death threats to their own players not to play the game , as a result the nocerina players all faked injuries and as a result the game was abandoned after 20 minutes , a drone flew over the ground saying respect the nocerina ultras , to these people its all about power not football


    the book a season with verona is an excellent insight into the thinking of a right wing ultra movement attached to football club , 20 years ago the problems were just as bad and nothing has been done , there is too much political corruption in the country to sort it out , when balotelli signed form city to AC milan a few years back one of the directors , silvio berlusconi's brother i think , said in an interview shortly after the signing was made to one of the newspapers , "we are all delighted to say we have signed the family's little black boy " !!!

    there is no law nor order in italy to this sort of stuff

    Scored a good goal tonight in Sassuolo's 3-1 win over Bologna. Caputo's 2nd of the evening was another nice one.

    Inter 1-0 down at home to Verona after Handanovic gave away a pen.

    Vecino equalises with a header. It was coming. Now they need to get the winner. 25 minutes to go.


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


    Barella may have won it for Inter with a brilliant curling effort. Lovely goal.

    https://twitter.com/PremierSportsTV/status/1193237911313010689

    It ends 2-1 to Inter. They needed to win that and they did.


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


    Super goalline clearance from Koulibaly to stop Napoli falling behind to Genoa. Napoli really should be winning this, especially at home. About 25 minutes to go.

    It ends goalless. Napoli inches away from a late winner but Radu just about prevented the ball crossing the line with a great save from Elmas' header.

    That koulibaly lad Is a top top defender I would love to see Liverpool sign him he is excellent, probably would lack a bit of pace in the Premier league though

    Surprised with how poor Napoli are going at the moment especially with ancelotti in charge, probably one of the better managers on the contenent seems to be really struggling, and pressure is starting to build now too

    12 points off the pace with imo a much better squad than Inter. They were put in ritiro which caused the squad to backlash and they showed why something needs to be said with 2 bad results at home this week.
    Not a lot of character in the squad to be honest & players are allowed to play badly with no real repercussions.

    Definitely an inferior complex in the club as a whole, should have 2 or 3 scudettos won by now since 2012

    Cagliari beat Fiorentina 5-2. Check out the last goal, a naingollan special.

    He looked great in the highlights I saw. Got 3 assists as well. Cagliari up into the CL places for the time being which is mad.

    If Milan weren't 100% useless Juve would be in trouble here.
