One of the things I enjoy reading each week is the Lega Calcio sporting justice reports. Usually these come out on Tuesdays, but this week it came out today because of the midweek games. In the reports, you see who's fined for which offense, who's suspended, who's on the verge of suspension, etc etc etc.
This week's report includes the following: 1. The Gilardino hand ball goal. Lega Calcio reviewed the video evidence and found that it was a deliberate hand ball. They've handed Gila a 2 game suspension, meaning he'll miss Fiorentina's games v. Inter and v. Siena (which is a local Tuscan derby). 2. Pasquale Foggia and Stefano Mauri also got two game bans, these two for mouthing off to the referee after the Lazio-Napoli game. |

Fiorentina appealed the suspension, but the appeal has been denied. Gilardino will sit out the next two games. Really unfortunate timing on this -- I've watched it several times and agree with the judgment that it was intentional. It serves Gila right. NOW the Viola have got to step it up. I hope to see young Jovetic play - the kid's got real potential.

Adriano's costly night out
Tuesday 28 October, 2008 There are suggestions that Inter boss Jose Mourinho will drop Brazilian hitman Adriano after he went out to a club until the early hours of Monday. The [deleted] One was furious after Sunday's stalemate with Genoa and vented his spleen at the players he felt were responsible. The main culprit in Mourinho's eyes was Argentine marksman Julio Cruz and President Massimo Moratti has admitted that the two men are at loggerheads. But according to La Stampa, Adriano also singled himself out for a portion of his Coach's rage by going out on Sunday night with Milan star Ronaldinho, who wasn't required to attend training due to an injury. Although L'Imperatore did manage to make it to training on Monday, he wasn't in good shape and Mourinho was reportedly seething. The fall from grace of Cruz and Adriano may hand chances to Victor Obinna and Mario Balotelli, but forgotten man Hernan Crespo could also get a look in. The Argentine international has set foot on the pitch just once this term but has made it clear he will fight for a place in the starting 11. (Ch.4) Jesus, when will this jackass ever learn? (And it looks like Dinho hasn't changed much either.) |

No Dinho shouldn't be judged at all. Carlo's press conference clearly states that Dinho had permission to party. I don't require Dinho to be a recluse. Just that he follow the rules.

The comment on Dinho was more of an aside. I'm just really surprised Inert continues to even bother with Adriano even though his commitment to football could fit into a walnut shell.

Why is he called Inert?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
The thing with Adriano is, if he can get his head together, he can be very lethal with Inter. Same is the case with us. If Ronaldinho can get his role in the team/if Sheva can get his groove back etc. I think Mourinho recognises that, and is trying hard to get Adriano back into action.He's tried being nice, and Adriano responded with how Mou is the best coach ever, before heading off to the pub to get piss drunk. Now I guess Mou is gonna be strict. |

Inter remind me of Juve pre-Calciopoli... strange favoritism from everywhere. but just like that Juve, Inter have a very strong team. I'm not gonna be a dork and say they win just because the refs and others help them. that's a childish thing to say. IMO: Strong squad+favoritism=Scudetto after Scudetto |

I think I'm going to respectfully disagree on this one for now.
It looked like a deliberate hand ball to me and I think they got it right in banning him, even if the timing is somewhat suspect. If something like this happens again, I'll revise my opinion. |

I'm not particularly talking about this one. I'm talking generally. I have seen many suspicious calls for Inter in the past two seasons. last season, I'm sure you remember, the whole Italy were objecting to those refereeing 'mistakes' that favored Inter in many games. Gila's suspension could be right, I haven't even seen it, but what about what the article says, Ibra's elbow? |

Oh, on that I agree. The cugini got a lot of calls their way the last couple of seasons, far more than they should have.
The elbow thing was discussed in length in the sporting justice report, but they decided that a suspension wasn't warranted (not sure on the reasoning, the language was really hard for me to translate). |

Anyway, this is Channel4's article on Lavezzi, who really is a bomb! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) QUOTE Street urchin Ezequiel Lavezzi is, according to James Horncastle, the perfect Napoli striker embodying the spirit of the city just as Diego Maradona did in the 1980s (IMG:http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/blogs/lavezzi460.jpg) A modern street urchin, that’s how La Gazzetta dello Sport described Ezequiel Lavezzi on Monday after the diminutive Argentine conned the crowd into thinking he had scored Napoli’s winner at Lazio on Sunday. The 23-year-old sprinted to the by-line and rifled the ball across goal where it hit Lazio defender Sebatiano Siviglia and bounced into the net. The smile Lavezzi carried as he ran off to celebrate with his teammates suggested that he had intentionally targeted Siviglia and used him to score. It’s a wonderful thought and great for Napoli. Lavezzi’s reputation as a Scugnizzo – Neapolitan for loveable rogue – blends well with the image many a Partenopei fan has of himself. In an industry where footballers have become more and more estranged from their fans, it’s fantastic to see someone people can relate to on the pitch every once in a while. Napoli fans love Lavezzi’s cheekiness, the tricks he pulls that could only have been learned on the streets and – as one Italian journalist pointed out – his little belly, which sticks out like that of an impoverished child’s. Napoli have a tradition of bringing characters like Lavezzi to the San Paolo and it enriches the experience of supporting the club in a way that signing a player of David Beckham’s nature never could. Credit should go to President Aurelio De Laurentiis and his director of sport Pierpaolo Marino for building a club fit for the 21st Century that, to some degree, embodies the character of a troubled but beautiful city. First Omar Sivori, then Diego Maradona and now Lavezzi. They may be slightly different as footballers, but there is continuity in their spirit, which affords them a special place in the hearts of Neapolitans. Although "The smile Lavezzi carried as he ran off to celebrate with his teammates suggested that he had intentionally targeted Siviglia and used him to score" is pure fantasy! |

Yup. Only Seedorf can do one-twos with opposing defenders. |

On the inter game, Fiorentina were denied a clear penalty ..
Burdisso pulled on Pazzini's shirt in the 18 yard closer to 6 yard box and if Pazzini was not touched he might have converted it, cuz Cesar was on the floor at the time (rebound ball). It's a rule: pull an attacker's shirt in the 18 yard box and its a penalty. Lets see if Fiorentina can hold off both inter and the ref (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) |
