He got you tho
yeah yeah
Agreed.
But....if you listen to Rino's own words... it's pretty clear that this stuff happens in football all the time. I wouldn't doubt that some of our Senatores might have done this to Carlo himself
Euhm, why are you trying to pull the racism card here?
Kessie reacted in a very disrespectful and wrong way at that moment and Biglia corrected him, which was the only right thing to do. It's not because he's black that he cannot be penalized for itIt doesn't matter if you're white, black, green or blue, if you misbehave, you will get punished. Kessie admitted he reacted way too intense and he should have accepted the coach his choice, so what are you blathering about?
Same thing goes for the Acerbi incident. Let your feet speak, which they did by winning the game. There is no point in holding the guy's shirt after the game and trying to make a fool of him, it got way too personal at that point. We're not 15 year olds anymore. There is constant trash talk on social media. "Acerbi said that they are better than us, cry cry", boohoo who the fuck cares, move on and get some class, seriously. Can't remember Nesta or Maldini behaving like this in the past.
And I have to remind you that you're not a player of Milan, which means you're not there all of the time at milanello..
I understand you have to take into account the whole context of Baka's problem, and I also believe they punished him too hard for that incident, but don't come with this crap that justifies everything he does, just because he's black.
Excellent post. Either one of us could be right.
On the Kessie - Biglia thing...I'm not so sure though.

yeah man, I wouldnt mind Caldara starting but
Yeah our luck is next level.
It was an ugly match but surprisingly entertaining.
Gattuso has one thing going for him.
At least he can fire up the squad in some matches.
Who knew that a team with Borini, Abate and Mauri would play better than our starting 11 a week before?

True about Juve-Atalanta, but as far as we're concerned I'm not any more or less worried by any of the three games we have left. We don't do comfortable wins. They will all be battles. Frosinone at home might turn out to be the cryptonite in this row of games, that's how unpredictable our quality is.
It's true tho that we are without Paqueta against Viola, but that's not major as long as the Bakayoko situation is straightened out and Hakan is able to play.
Here's to hoping players you hate are fit for games. Milan anno 2019.
I wouldn't right off Genoa either in their match against Atalanta.
Genoa often pulls unexpected draws / wins against top teams.

Nah, a home game against Bologna is always going to be easier/less hard than Fiorentina away.
They might be really crap at the moment, but Montella will sacrifice everything just to not lose against the team that sacked him.
He was in a similar situation at Sampdoria, where he took over during the season, saw the team regress even further under him, but then he somehow got a draw away to Fio after having lost at home to Chievo in the previous round.

Ppl acting like there wasn't a whoooole lot of backstory here and Bakayoko is some kind of Cassano
Yes guys ....the fucking club totally just didn't side with Biglia when he and Kessie fell out
They totally didn't take fucking Acerbi's side in the dispute and fine the black players
They don't remember how much of a rock Bakayoko has been for us in the middle of the park.
They only remember two (2) things:
Bakayoko showed up late for training after the shit hit the fan
Bakayoko gave trouble (note not refused) to come on
I think Baka's behavioral problems seem exaggerated and a troublemaker label for him might be too harsh. But you're losing all credibility when you try to make the Kessie-Biglia row look like the blame was 50-50 between the two parties, a la Bonucci.
Kessie was angry for selfish reasons and then he makes numerous attempts to fight a teammate and had to be stopped by several players, while the world was watching. It would've ended up worse than the Bowyer-Dyer incident if Biglia was as selfish, immature and insane as him.
If Kessie lost his mind because Biglia hurled a racist insult or badmouthed his dead father for some reason, then his entourage would've for sure brought that up during their damage control.

Thanks for shedding light on the conflict...I didn't actually see it. I read about it after the game and the accounts I read seemed like a regular argument that the club was then taking sides with.
Thanks for the clarification

biglia and kessie both were fined and made to apologize publicly.
milan made an official statement supporting players during jersey thing iirc calling it just a simple banter. black players were fined(i haven't seen official news of the fine by milan) because white players weren't holding the shirt. musa even took the shirt away from them. media blew things out of proportion. they barely lifted the shirt for like 2-3 seconds and musa took it away(from what i saw in the videos) and media reported it as a parade.
leonardo came out against the racism during the lazio game.

atalanta can win and lose vs any teams, like all the top 4 competitors. they are a form team right now but so were we when we faced merda.
, Suso, Bonaventura, Calhanoglu, Kessie, Cutrone, Paqueta, Bakayo
Well What a weekend I had in Milan!!!
The game - Certainly not a lot of quality on show. But it was a very entertaining game. We won with Mauri and Borini playing. The ref had a poor game and tried his best to make us lose points. My nerves were hanging by a thread for the last 15-20 mins. But we held on and are still in with a chance of CL.
The 50,000 fans that were there made it a good atmosphere and the Curva Sud were amazing all game.
The city - A lovely beautiful city, plenty to do as usual. Stayed for 4 nights and still never got round to doing everything. The Navigli area is vibrant and full of great bars and restaurants. The area round the Duomo is great for shopping. But very expensive. There is a restaurant just beside the Porta Venezia metro stop called Maruzzella's. Have to say that the food was amazing. Also found a bar called Friends, which was a good place to go for a drink.
All in all a wonderful weekend.
