Serie A 2006/07

Now that the THIEVES have taken away our board, let us keep all Serie A match reaction, player / tactic discussions that are not realted to clubs that have a thread in here.

Tonight is a magnificent prospect for football, so many potentially great exciting games!!

Atalanta - Empoli

Cagliari - Livorno

Chievo - Lazio

Fiorentina - Parma

Messina - Reggina

Milan - Ascoli

Palermo - Catania

Roma - Inter

Sampdoria - Udinese

Torino - Siena

Inter and Roma matches are ALWAYS exciting, they rarely disappoint and always contain a lot of goals! I predict an evening of excting matches and goals tonight

Thieves?!

The board was barely being used - we consulted and EVERYONE that responded said that this was the way it should be done!

I'm ONLY JOKING! Calm down! I have no problem with the new format, it fosters a better community 'feel' to the boards.

Yes, but in the interests of appeasing everyone, we have to 'move with the times.'

Deano, there are OTHER forums out there, specifically devoted to Italian football, i regularly post on most of them:

cheers pirlo....i have recently been posting on a sampdoria forum...but only about 6 of the posters speak english....so it doesnt quite work

It was done so that everyone would get more exposure of their posts! so it was done to help rather than hinder as now more people will likely view waht is written

There are no problems Tweedle, we are happy to adapt to the new format.

As you say, there is more exposure, everybody now there is more license and incentive to read about other leagues.

I predicted goals... you were NOT disappointed!!!

i think this proves that anyone who says serie A is boring is a fuckwit

viva serie A

still, 5 games with no more than 1 goal...

second goal by messina was just superb. Worth watching it over and over again

Did you see Simplicio's goal for Palermo and Mascaras's for Catania? HILARIOUS!!!!

Pirlo, could you get some of your friends from there to move here... there are too few Serie A fans on this MB

Bluenine, you know better than to listen to the Italian papers , one defeat and everyone is in a crisis!!!!

Goodness knows what they will make of Samp tomorrow! 3-0 down, a magnificent effort to return to 3-3, but now 16 games without a Serie A win!

yes mate it was a great game, had everything, even comedy...I actually lauhed when he tried to stop the ball with his chest in that position

Poor Agliardi, it was a lovely gesture by the Rosanero after Corini's penalty though, it probably made him feel a lot better!

With Palermo you are guaranteed goals!

11 goals scored (and 7 against!) in 3 games, what a boring Serie A team

ROUND 4

SATURDAY 23rd:

Catania v Messina
Livorno v Milan

SUNDAY 24th

Ascoli v Sampdoria
Empoli v Palermo
Inter v Chievo
Lazio v Atalanta
Parma v Roma
Reggina v Torino
Siena v Cagliari
Udinese v Fiorentina

I'll probably watch Catania v Messina - should be a great atmosphere for Catania's second Sicilian derby in a few days.

Palermo v Catania looked a cracker as did Messina v Reggina (not Sicily I know) - there's more passion down South !

Check the Palermo thread for my reaction to the Sicilian derby.

http://europeanboard.ephpbb.com/viewtopic.forum?t=1688&start=40

These games are amongst the most passionate, but because of their 'lower profile' they don't get as much recogntion as a Milan or Rome derby.

The atmosphere on Wednesday night was passionate, sadly though there were fights before and during the match between 'fans'.

Catania 0-1 Messina HT

Floccari (came on mid way through the half for injured Alvarez) scored a scrappy goal after Catania failed to deal with Iliev's corner - totally against the run of play, Catania have dominated.

Mascara was booked for Diving.

Gabriele Marcotti is a great co-commentator.

Giuseppe Mascara hits the bar from Free-kick 5 mins in to 2nd half...


...and just now "Mascarinho" (as the fans call him) equalises with a deft header, takes of his shirt in celebration and gets a 2nd yellow !!!




* Not suprised he's doing well - he looked great in Serie B last year.

A mad 11 mins in 2nd half:

Mascara scores and gets sent of for celebration 1-1

Spinesi hits a deflected free-kick (as he did v Palermo) 2-1

Cordova hits a great half-volley 2-2

Iuliano gets sent off for 2nd yellow.

Great Derby match

CIAO PIERRE!!

WOW!!!

That was a SENSATIONAL match. Sicily - the HOME of THRILLING football!!!

We have had TWO Sicilian derbies in THREE DAYS! They have yielded us a total of TWELVE GOALS!!!!

Stupid for Mascara - He had a great and influential match but what a stupid first booking!!! It was a silly and unconvincing dive!

Catania play the game in great spirit - unlucky to emerge from these two derbies with only one point - tonight they and their fans were incredible. Unlucky to Sottil to hit the post - his runs and movement were never dealt with for the match, (he could have had two goals from unmarked headers), unlucky also for the goalkeeper to make a good save from Mascara's early freekick. Caserta - playing RONALDINHO for the day!!! WHAT CHEEK! And that VOLLEY wasn't bad either!

Floccari's goal was very lucky - unlucky on the Rossazzurri - they didn't deserve to fall behind to a goal like THAT!

For Messina, i want to see MORE of Cordova, he is a great talent, he had a great shot in this match, but i want him to impose himself more on teams!

What a game! Thanks to Sicily for this great entertainment!

Yeah i watched it on Setanta Sports, did anyone know they have free view on Saturday nights

WEEK 4 HALF TIME:

Ascoli 1-0 Sampdoria (Delvecchio )
Empoli 1-0 Palermo (Saudati)
Inter 1-0 Chievo (Crespo)
Lazio 0-0 Atalanta
Parma 0-2 Roma (Aeroplanino, Perrotta)
Reggina 0-0 Torino
Siena 0-0 Cagliari


Udinese v Fiorentina plays this evening.
