paul-r-cfc Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Didn't realise the Cagliari penalty was awarded using VAR. That's Germany and Italy using it this season in the top flight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I am disappointed in Cagliari. Lack of activity during the summer. Do you follow Cagliari? My cousin lives over there so I like to keep an eye on the results. From what I hear Alves is a loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planning a trip with a few mates to take in a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worried about their prospects after getting humped out the cup by a team I've never heard of. Cittadella are a decent team - well, they were last season. Made it to the Serie B promotion playoffs. As for Bologna...from the Italian Wikipedia: Definitivo - permanent Fine prestito - end of loan Esercitato etc - Bologna were 'obliged' to buy Taider and Helander - I think. A bit like Negredo when he was on loan at Valencia from Man City - again, I think. De Maio spent two seasons on loan at Celano earlier on in his career. He did well.

Kris. Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Anyway, Serie A properly gets underway today with the remaining 8 games taking place. Atalanta v Roma (5pm) Bologna v Torino Crotone v Milan Inter v Fiorentina Lazio v SPAL Sampdoria v Benevento Sassuolo v Genoa Udinese v Chievo (All 7:45) The Atalanta/Roma & Inter/Fiorentina games the standouts. Interested to see how Benevento get on in their first ever Serie A game. SPAL I can see getting a bit of a pumping tbh, although Lazio won't have Keita or Anderson in the squad. Milan should dish out a bit of a pumping of their own, but hopefully Crotone can cause an upset. Udinese/Chievo easily the least appealing game of the opening weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Roma win 1-0. Don't know how, Atalanta were all over them for 90 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Fiorentina one down to an Icardi penalty. Gonna be a long night. Inter looking well up for it so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 VAR is still shite. Even more so when you can't hear or see what the Video Ref is looking at. Did I hear right that the ref at the Juve game saw the replay on a pitchside monitor (like the Dutch Supercup farce)? Are there essentially 2 systems running at the same time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Icardi just the 2 goals to start him off. Class player Prize dickhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Got to agree with everything said so far, VAR is utter shite. Fiorentina have been allowed back into this a wee bit. Inter do look like they could score again though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 in two minds about this opening weekend; it's good to see the Milanese and Napoli starting strongly, bodes well for a decent title race and not just another Juve stroll, but it seems as if the top four or five clubs are going to be a paradigm shift away from the rest, and routinely hand out hidings week in and week out; elsewhere - pleased that the donkeys get off to a decent start, although I reckon Udinese are going to struggle big time this season, and there's going to be dancing in the streets of SPAL after that opener (seriously thinking about taking a look at them when I'm over there next month - home to Cagliari...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
