    Abete came out explaining how he won’t be revoking Inter’s cardboard title with a series of runaround arguments that really amount to nothing. It was making me dizzy reading this shit. It lacked coherence. Long story short; taking the title away can’t be done without a trial because only a trial could modify the standings and a trial can’t occur unless Moratti refuses the statute of limitations. Taking the title away without a trial would be unconstitutional as it would not permit Inter’s proper defence. Had the FIGC actually handed Inter the title officially they would have been able to amend that document but no such document exists.

    As I read this I couldn’t help think of a few things.

    Did Moggi or any of the accused in 2006 get a proper trail complete with a right to a defence?

    Is Inter really being punished if all that is happening is the revocation of a title that isn’t theirs to begin with?

    If no document exists handing our title to them...isn’t it still ours?

    Didn’t the 2005-2006 title get revoked without a trial at all (the investigation was for the prior season only)?

    If all Moratti has to do is refute the statute in order to defend himself then how exactly is he being refused a right to defend himself?

    Bottom line they are all playing the same game. They throw out a thousand excuses in order to say “we agree something should be done about that title but it shouldn’t be us to do it”. They will keep passing the hot potato around until people lose interest. In the end nothing will change.

    The guys at tuttosport dug up a federation rule made in 2003 that would permit the entire retrial but clearly Abete is playing dumb and continuing with the confusing incoherent runaround arguments in an attempt to pass the uncomfortable task to someone with balls. Good luck finding those in Italy.

    In any case, they are doing what many of us thought they would. They are focussing on a non issue and dedicating all the media attention to it. That title means fuck all to me. It's ours. It was never anyone else's and same goes for the prior title.

    I am FAR MORE concerned with the double standards that the FIGC flagrantly throw around. Inter have made a history of being the Teflon Team that no charges can stick to no matter what the violation and how much proof against them surfaces.

    The federation should be trying a little harder to convince us that the rules apply to everybody.

    Furthermore, statutes or not we know Moratti and the Inter upper brass are capable of mass corruption and should be distanced from the sport. I would love for all the teams of Serie A to publically state that unless Moratti steps down or sells the team and the Telecom-FIGC link be severed that they will refuse registration this year. If the NFL and NBA can have lockouts why can't Serie A?

    Blog: The Spinelli Syndrome
    Livorno President Aldo Spinelli’s place in the Calciopoli scandal provides the key to the whole affair, says Susy Campanale



    You are still writing in with responses to my last blog on the matter, so I felt a follow-up would help clarify where I stand on Calciopoli. It’s too easy to say I am anti-Inter or consider the original trial to be rushed, flawed and with a clear agenda that led to vital evidence being ignored. The truth is I don’t believe any of the clubs were actually guilty. The key to unlocking it all is Aldo Spinelli.

    The latest FIGC report prompted prosecutor Stefano Palazzi to accuse Inter and Livorno of violating Article 6 (sporting fraud), which is considerably more serious than the multiple violations of Article 1 (unsportsmanlike behaviour) that saw Juventus demoted and Luciano Moggi banned for life. Had it not been for the statute of limitations, would Inter have been sent down to Lega Pro for that kind of behaviour? At first glance, it looks like cheating of the worst kind.

    However, this is where Spinelli comes in. Anyone who remembers the fiery Livorno patron from 2006 will know he was famed for constantly criticising 'the authorities’ for favouring some clubs more than others. He was the ultimate conspiracy theorist, repeatedly threatening to pull Livorno out of Serie A in protest at the unfairness of the system, the corruption he felt was endemic and the idea his team would never be allowed to win because referees ensured the top clubs came out with results no matter what. If there was ever a man ready to rage against the 'system’ Calciopoli uncovered, then it was Spinelli, shouting in his lucky yellow plastic mac. So how did he get accused of cheating worse than anyone else?

    The answer is simple and lies within the Italian psyche. All of life in the peninsula is based around one concept: 'Everyone else is going to bend the rules and try to rip me off. What am I, stupid?’ Therefore people try to pre-empt the inevitable cheating by taking a moral short-cut as a preventative measure. I see this as the reason behind the entire Calciopoli affair.

    If enough clubs and directors feel their rivals are bending the rules to gain an advantage, they get paranoid and will try to 'even things out.’ This was the phrase we heard again and again during the trials, from Juventus, Milan, Fiorentina, Inter and anyone else caught calling up the refereeing designators to complain. “We were just trying to protect ourselves.” Like Don Quixote, we ended up with all the sides flailing wildly against an imaginary enemy. They all broke the rules because they assumed everyone else was doing it, which in the end became a self-serving prophecy.

    So I do not accuse Inter of cheating. I merely point out the Nerazzurri did exactly the same thing as Juventus, Fiorentina, Milan, Lazio, Reggina and Livorno. Let’s call it the Spinelli Syndrome.

    Susy needs to shut up. Every team didn't do the same thing. Some cheated (Inter, Milan and Livorno). The rest didn't. The rest pretty much just complained about it. Some more aggressively than others.
