    I can’t stand juve if they were cheese they’d smell like feta which also happens to smell like samson aka samantha’s gym socks
    But did it ever occur to you clowns that maybe just maybe that no one ’s bribing the refs but that the bigger teams are just getting the favorable calls as they do in every league ?see man utd , real madrid , chelsea , barca , bayern just to name a few how many games have those teams won this year due to “poor referreing ” ? Plenty !!!

    Justin, u might be right but damn, if things keep going like this, lets use replays. People say it kills the pace of the game, but i rather have the pace killed than the true outcome killed.

    E, for now, 7/10 bad calls are in favor of Inter. Other teams get these aswell, probally even roma, but not so much. But it’s always Inter these days, just like last season.

    E, it is always the possibility. And what about awarding the hosts during the WC and Euro cups? Hell, it may even be subconscious.
    Also – lol at feta reference. Then again, since when a bunch of sweaty men is supposed to smell nice?

    Replays are needed now. FIFA must accept that this is 2009 not 1909.

    Samson Don’t get me wrong I agree with you fellas I know its not fair at all I’d probably complain too if the calls were going against inter , but that’s just how footy is the bigger teams have , are and will always get favored by the ref

    Sp E, therefore Inter’s* Scudetto last year was won because of them being favoured? SO Inter did not deserve to win that Scudetto and Roma (who got way less favored calls)should have been champions?

    many high profile sports, except football, have already put some rules in place to incorporate good ideas that increase fairness of results into the game. if tennis etc can make attempts to decrease number of decisive errors (eg, by having players allowed 3 challenges per set), why cant football try do something in the same spirit? I am not sure if we would have seen Nadal win the Wimbledon for the first time by defeating Federer if some of the challenges he made were not allowed- he won most of them, and the erroneous calls were reversed.

    Samantha I plead the 5th

    lol seriously though we also lost some very important points due to those same refs remember all those red cards we got ( most undeserved ) and some clear penalties that they denied us ? so in my mind we deserved to win it last year

    now u are just contradicting yourself E. You just finished typing that Inter are favored like most big clubs. So how can one be favored and also equaly be screwed as we were?

    Its either u are favored or you are equal, their are no grey areas.

    Samson are roma not a big club to you man ?

    Besides i ‘ve never said that big teams never get calls going against them both roma and inter got favored by the ref at some point last season inter more so than roma I admit , but we also had more calls going against us than roma did , I maybe bias but that’s how I see it

    Stopped calling me Samanta i see, we are making progress interista lol. Well of course i think Roma are in a big club but they are a big club in a dirty league where the “bigger” clubs prosper more often than others.

    U seem like a nice guy, just a little lost hahaha. Soon you will convert to an honest club. hahaha.

    Sure looks like the byzantine
    ways of Calcio are alive and well.
    From Corriere dello Sport:

    I bianconeri vincono 1-0 con un gol di Marchisio nel primo tempo, ispirato da una magia del capitano. Proteste viola per un fallo da rigore su Jovetic e per un gol annullato a Gilardino……Il presidente della Fiorentina chiama Sky: «Collina ci deve dare subito spiegazioni». Squadra in silenzio stampa.

    from Gazzetta dello Sport:

    un’ottima Fiorentina, che ha avuto il solo torto di essere poco “cattiva” sottoporta. E di essere penalizzata da un paio di decisioni arbitrali più che sospette.
    Dopo aver protestato inutilmente per un contatto in area Mellberg-Jovetic che sembra da rigore
    Buffon respinge e Gilardino mette dentro. L’urlo di gioia del Gila è di breve durata. Saccani annulla l’1-1 per un fuorigioco che non c’è.
