    [Serie A] Chievo - Juventus

    That's a trap. The video never lies, but the human interpretation of it does. We're doomed for failure if we think somehow video replays will introduce greater fairness and remove the human error in the game (even though it's often that very same human error that results in scoring opportunities...

    I am not going to fault the ref over this. This again was one of those situations where we have the luxury of sitting on our fat arses in front of the telly with our slow motion remotes -- and we're not hustling downfield with the players. Call it a minor form of what happened to the Spurs...

    [Serie A] Chievo - Juventus

    I'm surprised Makinwa didn't file a police report against Nesta. Not only for taking the shirt off his back, but also for an attempted theft of his kidneys.
