    Penalties galore in the late drama in Napoli game.

    Udinese looking more than happy to go home with a 0-0 draw tonight. Still no goals at the San Siro and barely a real chance of one

    Udinese are a horrible side to watch. Fiorentina vs Roma game is fairly poor have to say also.

    Udinese should've been 1 up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,398 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Even with with Hakan and Bennacar out Milan's best area is still easily the midfield

    1 point not nearly good enough for Milan.
    Leao has been terrible recently and hopefully they just go with Rebic and a load of running midfielders in attack after this

    Equaliser for Milan with the last kick of the game from a penalty. What the Udinese defender was doing for the handball I don't know?


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


    Hope Inter can go 6 points clear. Cagliari showing signs of life at the other end of the table.

    Caught the highlights of Sassuolo/Napoli. That was great fun.

    Just seen the highlights of the Milan game. That penalty was proper dodgy. Almost like Stryger Larsen is playing volleyball the way he swipes at it.

    Job done for Inter tonight. Enjoyed that Lukaku assist for Sanchez's second. What a season he's having.

    Milan punching above their weight considering their squad and team. Reputation and history carrying them at the moment, the weight of expectation, so they just about continue to perform above their station. A Napoli or Roma in their position would of wilted long ago.

    They've a good foundation to build off though. They'll be back at Europe's elite soon enough, Inter now have money so Milan will magically find the funds to compete.

    Inter have 18 titles, 14 really though. Bar 2010, 4 titles handed to them from 05-09. Still, Milan will pay whatever cost to keep up if Inter get 19. Champions League needs (AC) Milan back. Far poorer place without them

    So much of this is wrong

    Lazio vs Juve is now on Free Sports after. I'm nearly certain it was on the guide for Premier Sports 1 earlier this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    We have some game on our hands now

    Lazio 1 up and very much deserved


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,817 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Lazio 1 up after 15 mins, deservedly so. Juve not at the races so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,483 ✭✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Demiral lol, got completely rinsed. Kulusevski also at fault big time.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,817 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Could have been a handball and a pen.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,817 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    What an absolute belter, cracker!!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,817 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Great first half of football. No idea how there are no cards yet.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,817 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Talk about end to end!! Great finish by Morata.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,817 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    And a Pen now aswell for Juve, 3-1 Morata again

    Some collapse by Lazio

    They just don't have the depth to compete with other teams at this stage of the season.

    That said, I don't really think this is a collapse. They were doing well the first half and then got caught a few times.

    Bring on Inter and Atalanta.


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


    Some exciting results near the foot of the table. Torino look in a lot of trouble and their fixtures don't seem kind.


  • Posts: 2,732 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I think we'll be ok. Playing better now, and a bit screwed yesterday

    How so? This is a decent Milan team but far from being where they once were. Inter pulling ahead will prompt them into action. Whatever about Juve being ahead, they were always ahead domestically. Inter going ahead will hurt. Last time Inter went ahead Milan gave a huge push to win the league. Inter winning the title, particularly beating them to open a gap, will hurt. Infact, it's the kick up the hole Milan needed.

    And yes, Inter were handed a title that was never their's, and were left with no competition. At least 4 tainted titles to their name. Under Mourinho, they would of won the title regardless of the competition though in fairness. If Inter win the title, there will be big investment in Milan, just wait and see. Milan see Inter as a smaller team in their shadow, they won't tolerate Inter having more titles

    Inter take the lead early in the second half.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,228 ✭✭✭kksaints


    Crucial win for Inter. Got the job done without been too impressive. Not sure why VAR didn't take get the ref to take a look at Bastoni holding at the corner, looked fairly blatant pulling of the Atalanta attacker.

    Getting badly hit by Covid-19 hasn't helped them at all. Pity because they were unbeaten in six beforehand. Only takes one win to put pressure on the likes of Benevento, Spezia and Fiorentina though. Wouldn't be surprised to see Benevento get dragged back into the bottom three. No wins in ten and that isn't a strong squad. Big match for them next weekend against Fiorentina. Looks like Crotone and Parma are going down anyway.

    Demiral for Juve was always a disaster waiting to happening
