The Beautiful Game: The Italian Outcome

Friday, July 14, 2006

Wow! Relegation for Juventis, Lazio AND Fiorentina and a 15 point deficit for AC Milan.

The clubs might get what they deserve, their fans certainly don't.

Any reason why AC Milan got a lighter sentence? Silvio Berlusconi maybe?

My condolonces to the tifosi and a big middle finger to the powers that be and their their little games of corruption.
At 3:48 PM, bananas said...: i'd say a big "yep" on berlusconi. what i am interested to see is who will be awarded the titles that juventus lost and the cash purse that goes along with it. if it is ac milan who gets those titles their penalty will be no penalty at all. if it is inter milan the penalty might still hurt a bit.

and it is truly shitty for italian fans that the owners of their teams pulled this shit. one can hope, no matter how foolishly, that things will improve.

i wonder how long until someone gets caught for this in the premiership?

At 8:23 AM, taras said...: what i don't understand is why did these clubs get banned from european cups. how are those tournaments and domestic league related? it's bullshit. they didn't cheat in uefa cup and/or champions league, let them play.
