Karadzic was recently arrested in Belgrade after being on the run from the International Criminal Tribunal since 1995.

He is accused of a number of crimes during the Bosnian war and is now likely to face the justice system.

His nephew, Dragan Karadzic, admits his uncle was a big fan of Calcio and that he used to be a die-hard Nerazzurri fan.

“My uncle used to go to the San Siro to follow Inter and his idols, Sinisa Mihajlovic and Dejan Stankovic,” Karadzic told Il Corriere Della Sera.

“He is a big fan of Calcio and he used to go to see matches in 2004. First at Lazio and then Inter.”

Radovan Karadzic became one of the world’s most wanted criminal’s but his penchant for the Italian game will have, once again, tarnished the Calcio image.

How would you know?

Doesn't Massimo Moratti own Merda?

Amazing reponse... no argument whatsoever against my claim that inter fans are scum only that the pieces of scum in question (in this case all inter fans) are not owned by scum... brilliant!

Doesn't Massimo Moratti own Merda?

hmmm... thats what i thought... im pretty sure hes scum...

 

[Tsar]

How would you know?

Because i'm not stupid enough to believe what Goal.com says about football, let alone international politics.

Do you really believe a man who went to so much effort to remain hidden from NATO would risk undoing it by traveling across borders to a NATO nation... for a game of football... If goal.com told you Osama Bin Laden had been hidding under the stands at the Yankee stadium all this time because he's mad keen on baseball would you believe it? wise up.

If it is corroborated what's the problem?

These two sources say the same thing and they are not goal.com, moron.

 

[ezekiel2517]

let's wise up.

So, the funny thing about this, is how easily believable is this story. As we have seen plenty of criminals having contact with Printer either directly or by other means.

Is it true? who knows, but possible indeed. We'll just have to wait and see if it shows up on another news sites.

When it comes to Merda and stories like this, anything is possible.

You're right, swearing at a traiterous footballer really compares to instigating genocide and war... idiot.

 

[drucurl]

lol Tsar getting owned at every every turn.....kinda embarrasing to know that a war criminal supports Inter....just don't go too overboard with this guys...I mean I'm sure hitler, stalin, Mussolini etc supported well known football teams...it isn't a reflection of either the team or the fans

 

[Cristina]

You're right, swearing at a traiterous footballer really compares to instigating genocide and war... idiot.

Oh yeah Tsar, Morrati is a saint! I guess you won this battle.

 

[radioactivenerd]

^LOL!

on another note, i just want to say that while i cannot think of ditching milan, i can understand why other ppl might, if they think that the club that they came to love and appreciate for certain reasons x years ago, is just not hte same any more, and hence they cannot relate to it.
everyone falls in love with a club at a certain time - either aftera game, or after a show of loyalty, or after a loss. but there is a common characterstic for each club that the fan supports - if that basic characteristic is lost, then the club loses its identity for the fan.
For example, if roman abramovich sells chelski and buys milan tomorrow, while i would still have a soft spot for milan, i would not support them the way i do, because i wouldn't agree with the basic philosophy of the club.

In that regard, i respected Tsar's decision to switch from Milan. Maybe the club he fell in love with, that bought the best players in the world, and won everything while playing the best football was not here any more. MAYBE.

Switching to Inter of all the clubs out there is an attempt at hogging the limelight on this forum, which he seems to have achieved. But this latest set of gobbling bollocks that hes spewed is just making him look like a carcass of a dead donkey. Baseless statements defending Inter by denying the existence of facts, is the start of them. Not to mention ridiculous comments that contradict his earlier beliefs.

I'm not really as annoyed with him as most of the ppl here, but its obvious the guy is an attention hungry pimple on the face of this forum. If he did truly support inter, he would have gone to the inter forums, and not come back here to spray his pus over the boards.

If he truly had a problem with the way Milan was being run, and chose to abandon it because of that, i could have accepted him picking a team like Cesspool, Barca, Bayern, or even to some extent Roma or Fiorentina.

But picking Inter is just something hes done to infuriate you folks on this forum. Its kinda funny of you think about it.

hmmm... thats what i thought... im pretty sure hes scum...

I decoded the biggest mystery of all time. Take Tsar's name. Remove the T and capitalize the S, remove the ar, and add the letters c-u-m. Cube the answer, and then cube root it to isolate to value, and you get Scum. Now add the co-efficients Big+Gay in front, and the final product is Big Gay Scum.

Tsar-T-ar = s.
S+c+u+m=Scum
Scum^3
3\/```` Scum^3 = Scum
Big+Gay+Scum=Big Gay Scum

Awesome mathematical discovery.

 

[Giancarlo]

You're right, swearing at a traiterous footballer really compares to instigating genocide and war... idiot.

Your team is supported by a war criminal. So please spare us.

You know you really ought to stop embarrassing yourself.

Osama Bin Laden is/was an Arsenal fan and he went to London (Highbury) to watch them play.

Tsar<---owned

I don't really think he makes anyone mad, he's mainly here for our entertainment.

Vieira adds to Inter injury crisis Friday 1 August, 2008

Inter have been dealt another serious injury blow as midfielder Patrick Vieira is facing a spell on the sidelines.

Jose Mourinho has seen his defence decimated by injuries to Walter Samuel, Ivan Cordoba, Cristian Chivu and Marco Materazzi.

And now the crisis has intensified as the injury-prone Vieira has damaged his left thigh.

“It is an unlucky period, but I won’t give up,” Vieira insisted on Inter’s official website.

“I am disappointed but I remain optimistic. I will do everything I can to be ready for the start of the season.

“Things were going really well. The signs were all positive and then this bad luck happened.

“I still want to be there to win lots of things with Inter and I will beat this set-back.”

Vieira’s injury is similar to the problem that prevented him from participating in Euro 2008 but it is slightly higher up.

Cordoba and Samuel joined the rest of Inter’s players for part of their training session today, but Chivu is following a personalised schedule and Materazzi is still resting.

Inter Fans Already Unhappy With Mourinho

According to 'Sport', Inter fans are already unhappy with new coach Jose Mourinho, and are demanding immediate improvements.

Mourinho arrived as the new coach of Inter earlier this summer, amid great expectations, succeeding Roberto Mancini, who had won three successive Scudetti.

However, the Special One’s start to his reign has not been a particularly smooth one. He has been crippled by injuries in defence, with the likes of Christian Chivu, Walter Samuel, Ivan Cordoba, and now Marco Materazzi all sidelined, and on Tuesday night his side were disappointing in the annual TIM Cup.

The Nerazzurri struggled to interpret Mourinho’s favoured 4-3-3 formation, losing 1-0 to Juventus, and going down on penalties to Milan after a goalless draw.

According to Sport, Inter supporters have been far from impressed with Inter’s performances in pre-season so far, and have told Mourinho that the team’s “robotic” displays must improve immediately.

The Italian press in general have not been blown away by Mourinho, and are continually questioning whether the 4-3-3 is suitable for the Italian league, given the slowness of the game in the peninsula.

Thus it seems as if Mourinho is already under pressure to start producing, a mere two weeks into pre-season.

Calcio Debate: Is Borriello’s Injury A Blessing In Disguise?

Marco Borriello, returning to Milan after a successful season at Genoa, was injured in pre-season training. Milan may now be forced into the transfer market once again. Are the Calcio gods trying to tell Milan something?

Carlo Ancelotti has constantly stressed that he prefers the famous Christmas Tree formation of 4-3-2-1. There is no doubt that the two attacking midfielders in Milan’s starting eleven will be Kaka and Ronadinho. But who will lead the front-line and do Milan currently have anyone worthy of filling the spot? Let’s look at the options.

Pippo Inzaghi, who I consider one of the most talented goal-poachers of recent history, is turning 35 on August 9th. While he did end last season on a high-note, he was nowhere to be found for the first two-thirds of the season and this has been a recurring pattern the last few seasons for the hitman. His injuries prevent him from being a pillar of consistency and he is in general a very streaky player. If Inzaghi was injury free and younger he might be capable of the task, as he has shown in the past. But, his fitness and sharpness will become major question marks as he continues to age.

Marco Borriello, has just sustained a major injury and early reports suggest he will be out a minimum of 60 days. He may have scored 19 Serie A goals at Genoa last term, but if you look at his overall career you cannot be impressed. He may have been seen as a promising Under-21 international, but until last season he failed to make much of an impact anywhere he’s been. Although Luca Toni continually misfired at Euro 2008, Borriello was not offered a single minute of action (which begs the question of why he was called up in the first place, although we can leave that subject for another day). He may be capable of contributing to a smaller and dependent team like Genoa, but it is doubtful he will contribute even half as much to Milan.

Alexandre Pato and Alberto Paloschi are both talented to be certain, the former is truly explosive. Perhaps in the future both players will be world-class, but the lack of experience is an issue nor is either player the finished product yet. For a club of Milan’s stature surely a more polished striker is available to lead the line.

If Brazilian Ronaldo’s health was not such an issue I he would be capable, except his knees are simply not up to the task anymore. Where have the days of super strikers at Milan like Van Basten, Shevchenko, Weah, and Bierhoff gone? Adding the creativity of Ronaldinho can only go so far, Milan require someone to finish off the chances they tend to create so beautifully. Last season, it was typical to see Milan have so much possession in a game, but then fail to win. Outplaying their opponents, but not getting the intended result. Has that problem been definitely dealt with?

Milan have been linked with multi-million Euro moves for Adebayor, Berbatov, Drogba, and Eto’o but none seem to be forthcoming. However, we all know Milan are a financially shrewd club, yet cheaper options do exist! Former player Shevchenko, Inter’s David Suazo, or Juventus’ Vincenzo Iaquinta would be half as much or less than the first crop of names I listed. Why Suazo and Iaquinta haven’t been considered I am not sure, it may have to do with them being owned rival clubs. However, both players have shown in their careers that they have pace for the counter-attack, can score many goals, and both have lead the attack of Serie A teams successfully. Either forward would be a better option than Milan currently possess in my opinion.

Adding all the creativity in the world will not change the fact that Milan do not have a striker worthy of being their lone front man. If Borriello’s injury encourages Milan to pick up someone who is a better striker, someone who has the qualities to lead Milan’s frontline game-in and game-out, then ironically this injury could be the best thing that happened to the Rossoneri.

i hate this prick, his tackles are some of the nastiest you see in football, only matched by materazzi... hes a very useful player for them and wins alot of battles in midfield so maybe this will pull back inter in the scudetto race

let him be, he has a reason to hate Italians and it ends in a 6. No wonder he went to the last club on earth where Italians may play, while still getting a chance to put some pain in some

 

[Beemer]

Why are people surprised? Of course Vieira is going to badmouth Milan; he only plays for one of our biggest rivals.
