Ludo*1 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Chievo who were in the Serie A for about 20-odd year until they got relegated in 2019 are another that are no more. Well, technically, they're running a youth team, but they were a team I always kept an eye out for after Dundee played them in a mid-season friendly at Dens and their keeper was doing a HT warm-up practicing his goal kicks. His practice involved booting the ball into the top corner of the goal at the other end of the pitch where Jamie Langfield was fucking about. Perugia who papped us out of the UEFA Cup as well only recently got their act together again recently having got back to Serie B after having a decent Serie A team back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chievo are obviously a weird case as they weren't really a side with any history or anything until they usurped their neighbours Hellas and became the number one team in the Veneto. Not sure how it came about but Hellas have had some questionable owners and fans over the years so may have been mismanagement there? Unlike some of the other names who have flamed and burned out over the years, you have to wonder if they'll ever come back having fewer fans and less goodwill than some of the other clubs who have done the same recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Well Hellas fans are famously right wing, so maybe Chievo's fans were more left leaning?The Flying Donkeys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I see, their method of not actually postponing the games but just waiting until a team doesn't turn up makes looking at a fixture list slightly confusing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 The Italians are the masters of taking something that can be handled relatively straightforward and then making it a chaotic farce. Take the Bologna-Inter game, Bologna were placed into quarantine by local health authorities yesterday, but Serie A decided to send Inter there anyways and have them go through the pre-game stuff when they had plenty of time to just call off or postpone the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I didn't see the whole match, maybe 40 minutes or so, but thoroughly enjoyed it, that third goal of Empoli's was a thing of beauty, then Lazio had a goal disallowed, had a penalty saved (I thought it was a bit of a soft award), but equalised well into stoppage time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Roma are doing well to have kept this at just 2-1. They've been very poor. Down to ten now as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
