The Rumour Commode XLV: Anno 0

[Pigeon]

Why wasn't the German penalty given in that case?

because it wasn’t a penalty for the ref? simple as that

he was standing right in front when it happened and decided to not even look at the monitor. so he was damn sure about it

these type of handballs are pure bullshit and shouldn’t be called, just like the silly pen germany got against denmark

 

[Berlusconi]

Thats an AM for me.

 

[The Cat]

Regarding that famous banter pic...

Acerbi wasn't really that bad, he had a few bad games, but EVERYONE was shit including the coach. He could've stayed and improved like Romagnoli....he shouldn't be in the same category as those other 2

 

[Alo88]

Yeah a good player, at least better than RLC, nothing impressive, though it's not the DM we were expecting, that means 2 transfers windows 80 Millions spent ending up with box to box whose dont have defensive skills to backup the defense and even the offensive attributes not able to create lot of chances to hit the back of the net.

Wasn't Kessie considered too a box-to-box player and yet everyone still keeps saying we're still looking for the new Kessie?

If Fofana can be "the new Kessie" who helps shielding but who can also burst into the opponents box, I'd be thrilled.

RLC has been horribly misused by Pioli anyway in his last few months when he suddenly decided RLC is not a box-to-box-player but a pure CAM.

Not only a penalty, but a red also.

[Massaro94]

Probably.the only team.in world.football that.can get away with wearing pink. And tbh it's always looked nice

 

[Massaro94]

Italian fans about to be triggered.

This is false right ???

 

[brk]

This is false right ???

Of course not. It was a big controversy a few weeks ago but only now people are being reminded because of the farce yesterday.

 

[Hitchens]

This is false right ???

No, totally legit.

 

[Massaro94]

Spain should kill england comfortably. Please

You'd think that. But England's record vs Spain isn't too shabby.

 

[Hugh Janus]

Nope.
Soft penalty.

What's the point of having fucking VAR, if every ref makes biased decisions.

Fullkrug was offside ffs

Are people even watching the games?

 

[Massaro94]

Of course not. It was a big controversy a few weeks ago but only now people are being reminded because of the farce yesterday.

What I meant is him refereeing the final. That's not possible right.

 

[Massaro94]

Enough to make the assessment, he is not as poor as RLC-Reijnders-Musah, but doesn't have Ederson(Atalanta) level, I take this occasion to point out that in addition to Fofana nothing prevent us (Exept Moncada-Furlani-Ibra-Ottavio lots of obstacles ) to pick up one of two goods prospects in Serie A evolving as a DM:

Luca Lipani 19 yo(Sassuolo)
Matteo Prati 21 yo(Cagliari)

Each one cost between 10 and 15 millions, mostly Lipani regarding Sassuolo relegation in Serie B

NB: MY DEEP AND SINCER Apologies🫡 , FOR ITALY CALCIATORI HATERS, BY STATING 2 ITALIANS YOUNGSTERS, WHOSE WOULDN'T COST US MUSAH PRICE, AND CAN PERFORM BETTER THAN HIM.

No need to apologise

Just gonna bookmark.it and revisit it over the coming years for a giggle

Why not?

 

[Massaro94]

Now we need the new Nesta

We had him

Lukaku ended his career

 

[Cloren]

 

[Qaas]

Balon d’or for me

If he wins yes
Else that bellingham pr too big

 

[Massaro94]

Why not?

Match fixing

 

[Massaro94]

Lautaro scored goals this copa tho

Who can pass?

 

[Tantalis]

It's true. Of the Copa games I watched there is far more intensity and emotion involved. Not that the euro has been bad, it's had less excitement

 

[brk]

This is @tonyb watching with pride as Kane robbed me of 20 points.

 

[Tantalis]

This is what we need. Sign the fucker up

Darwin missed like 3 open goals and Uruguay lost to 10 men

 

[Omer]

Don't know if the decree covers only sports but if it's for every type of business it unfairly punish Italian workers.
In italy the right won because of their anti immigration policy but this rule encourages more of them to come in.

The anti-immigration policy is more about limiting poor / unskilled immigrants who might take jobs away from lower / middle class Italians or who might be involved in crime in Italy.

Growth decree is more about getting rich people / highly paid people to move to Italy like CEOs, bankers, engineers, footballers.... The growth decree doesn't really help a restaurant waiter or janitor. The low paid workers already have a low tax rate. And the decree should help Italian workers because it helps develop the economy and create more jobs.

 

[Forza Rossoneri]

@Samaldinho thumbs up incoming in 3 2 1 ...

But who will pass? Pass passy passy through the lines, pass passy passy into the runs, pass passy passy over the heads and into the path.

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

Honestly I'll not lose any sleep over a journeyman professional in Morata coming for £13 million. He's played at the highest levels and has won things, bringing a winners mentality and experience.

Is he the solution to our problems?
Not single handedly. Was Giroud a solution? Not single handedly.

Did Giroud plug a gap and do a job? Yes.

Is Morata an exciting signing? Not really.

Could we learn to love and appreciate him?

Sure...

If Morata can put in Giroud numbers and we get more goals from midfield, is that not the same as blowing our load on a 25/30 G/A striker kinda?

Maybe a second striker will come in, or maybe Okafor will be turned into our Jo David?

The striker market is seeing unproven risks having their prices inflated.

I honestly want to see us stop losing stupid goals and being over run in the middle. Plug that gap with quality please!!!

I'm off to see The National tonight at Edinburgh castle, then I'll drink some whisky and go to bed. Safe in the knowledge we don't know anything for sure yet and we haven't actually signed anyone yet.

I'll start stressing around match day 5/6...

Both hands touch the ball
And before anyone says anything, please go check the Kalulu penalty against Athletico Madrid

I absolutely hate when players throw their hands up for everything and bitch and moan at the referee. But god damn, maybe that's the way to go. Jist fuking bitch and moan, complain, throw hands up and demans that shit be looked at. Sure, you may get a card, but at least maybe you get a call.

None of the Dutch players complained about the handball. Maybe it was too quick and didn't see it. But everything got dragged on and this fell through the cracks. But what happened to the rule where "if the ball is handled by an attacking player, voluntary or not, in the sequence where a goal is scored, the goal is called off". In this case, a goal wasn't scored, but a PK was given that led to a goal. I bet they'll come up with some bullshit of how they "couldn't intervene because this was not actually a goal, blah blah". But it's horseshit. Refereeing, even with VAR, has become such a joke. Weak ass fouls, cards for everything and anything, yet no cards when they need to be given, PKs for bullshit but not when they need to be given. It makes you wonder.....
