QUOTE (Danny @ Jul 20 2014, 09:59 PM)  People seem to have had problems watching this... Points to note: 1: Mastour. Wow. 16 years of age and he looks like he's been doing it for years. We could have a total gem on our hands here. His setup play for Mestalli was absolutely excellent. And don't say 'it's only Monza'. Because Mastour is 'only' a kid. 2: Pippo. His passion on the sideline is very Conte-esque. He wants his players to work, and tbh, they did. Thery respond to him, they respect him, because they know he respects them. 3: Shirts are growing on me. Don't like the crest much but the design is starting to seep into my consciousness. 4: A real positive of Pippo is he is more than happy to give youth a chance. These are kids he reared in Primavera, and they trust him. And now here he is, giving them the same chance in the first team. While it's incredibly early days, and Monza are not Real Madrid I saw more passion out there from the manager and players than I can remember pretty much the whole of last season. Danny boy (in bold) You pedophile you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) But yeah I do agree Pippo is the right person to integrate the youth into the first team. That is where our coaches (potential future coaches) should be coming from. Looks great on a marketing front, but will it all work when the season begins? Mastour's movements were always an eye catcher, since he was 13/14. But also that we wont know till the season begins how effective Mastour is against Serie A's meanest tacklers. I wish the kid well and hope we end up with a gem of a player (.. so we can later sell for $$$) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

Hmm, so does that mean that Pippo should keep him off the field so he doesn't discourage them or that he should play him so that they can be impressed? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll watch it tomorrow on Milan Channel, no way will I stay up until 2 in the morning to see us half assing it in some friendly |

I've stayed up till 6AM to watch Rangers lose to US college amateurs 3-1 in a meaningless friendly on an American Football Grid Iron pitch. As for Essien, he has shown MOMENTS of half-decentry (new word, I like it) so if he could do that for an hour if he played we could offload the utter loser for some decent cash. |

I like the devotion, but atm, considering my passion for this club is probably at an all time low and it is just a friendly, I'm not going to make myself suffer through it, especially when we all know it will most likely be a terrible game and I can watch the re-run tomorrow at a decent time decentry... I'll try to fit that into a sentence when the opportunity strikes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I have to force myself to watch Milan when they're live on tv at a decent time on my day off nowadays, if I'm honest.

I don't force myself, I still anticipate watching games, but more like with a sense of dread rather than excitement which was the case back in the good old days |

I'll never find myself ever feeling 'forced' to watch either of my teams. Don't mean that as a criticism of anyone else and how they conduct themselves, it's just my clubs are in my blood and through thick or thin I love them even more.

But the fact that you're feeling 'forced' expresses how much you care for that club, as any other fan would give up and stop watching. |

Well, since we're speaking about that...Personally, if Milan is on TV..I can't but watch it.
The problem comes when I don't have the channel, and have to sit through a match watching it frame by frame due to my lousy internet..that's when I say get to the "**** it" point. |
