Just saw the result of the Cagliari game, mad.

Cagliari definitely fighting to the end of each match, I hope they stay up for Ranieri's sake!

Another crazy end for Cagliari and a great goal to win it too.

Bologna are really doing the business in Serie A & they're beating rivals for the European/ CL qualification in the recents weeks so they have to be applauded/ admired. I definitely think that they will get in the top 6 at the end of the season!

Liam · Post 26-12-23 12:35

They're doing well and definitely have a good chance of the top 6 as they can focus on the league.

I put the curse on them as they've dropped away the last few games.

Don't mean to bring up negativity on another club (unless it's Inter) but i see Lazio had three players sent off. Is it still a rule that if four players are sent off the game is abandoned and awarded 3-0 to the other team. Or did i just make that up in my head?

Liam · Post 03-03-24 12:15

I think it's 5 players that have to be sent off, as teams have to have atleast 7 players on the field. The only game I can remember where a game has been abandoned like this is Sheffield United v West Brom many years ago, although 2 of the players went off injured with all subs used after there'd been 3 red cards for Sheffield United.

I thought Lazio's attitude the other night was bad throughout, the first red card was clearly correct and the other 2 were in stoppage time when their players lost their heads. Sometimes teams need to take responsibility for their own behaviour instead of blaming others.

Wow. So completely awful & gross. Honestly, eff those guys.

For those in the UK, ITVX are going to be showing one live game every weekend until the end of the season.
It will be a Saturday 19.45 kick-off game

This weekend it will be Empoli vs Toro

Bologna vs Monza on 13th April
Verona vs Udinese on 20th April

Myles · Post 06-04-24 01:45

That's actually got me thinking they used to put on 'bigger boxoffice' games on a Saturday night.

Although any of those games would beat watching Juve, unless that second half in the coppa wasn't just a blip in the matrix.

Liam · Post 07-04-24 12:10

I've noticed that too that the bigger games don't seem to be on Saturday night any more.

Lupo Pazzesco · Post 19-05-24 10:38

Lecce are safe and for that, I am very pleased. Serie A needs representation from all over the peninsular so I hope Palermo make it back as well, a bit of Sicilian spice and their iconic shirt would add some fun to the league.

Liam · Post 19-05-24 12:11

Unfortunately I think Palermo are now part of Man City's group of clubs, a shame as they have a lot of history and contributed a few players to the 2006 World Cup squad.

Myles · Post 19-05-24 12:59

It is good to see representation across the peninsula but Venezia finished third so i'd prefer they got promoted on merit. The playoffs are just for generating more money.
