Seriously, I read several football forums an hour ago, some from epl, some from la liga; guess what, many of them are actually rooting for merda, and generally they see us as the vermin of italian football instead of merda, and not just merda there, generally they cheer for milan roma napoli etc but we are always viewed with cheater label of sort

I honestly not sure if one can say that such depressing worldview has literally zero effect on our players or players that can join us, especially in this age of political correctness
I understand what you mean, but as the years go by, those labels will mean less and less. Already a lot of people have forgotten about it or dont care as much. I still get annoyed that there has rarely been any honest and factual reporting on the absolute disgrace and farce known as Calciopoli from English writers.

Wasn't Inter supposed to be relegated in their early days, but somehow conned/snaked their way out of it ?(like they usually do)

That club is the filthy rotting carcass of Italian football.

I got some kind of expenation to relativate calciopoli i tend to tell. Do point out if its flawed


"Calciopoli, was about clubs picking what referee would lead their game. We all asume a ref is a ref, but that isnt true. Take for example Chelsea and Barcelona. If you'd have a very strict ref that blows the wistle on every contact, it will obviously favor barcelona. If you got a hardman ref who thinks football isnt for pathetic fags and only whistles when its actually a decent foul, it will obviously not favor barcelona, but chelsea instead.

What happened during calciopoli, is 3 teams had their manager ask the ref designator, to pick a ref they tought was going to suit their gamestyle more. That ref was not bribed in any way, he was just preferred by style.

Juventus got all the blame, milan a lil bit and inter got away, however out of expired (i dont know the term @Seven verjaard in dutch )evidence later , it seemed inter was most involved into it.
FIFA, UEFA, FIGC, thinks refs are equal. So why did they detract points from juve, who wanted a specific ref ?

And doesnt everyone do that. In belgium for example, we have huge media pressure by managers/trainers on certain refs so they dont get chosen, or come under a fuckload of stress, how is that any better ?"
Verjaard = statute of limitations.

Jealousy spreads far. When you get to the top everyone wants to knock you down.

Let's face it, for most PL fans hoping other sides fail is the closest they get to success, they are fucking garbage.

See, this type of shit is what makes it so incredible for me that there are still Juve fans who like Inter more than Milan, or indeed any other team.

I don't like Inter more than Milan. I hate Milan more than Inter.

I like to put it that way. :D

Sooner or later other leagues are gonna get their own calciopoli.

La Liga came close. Remeber the doping scandal in Spain with cycling? The same doctor also had blood samples of top football players in his lab, which the goverment conveniently destroyed.

And I am sure that in the PL, with the obsecene amount of money moving around, there is some heavy shit going on.

Is there sport left in this world that is not tainted? FIFA, UEFA, Cycling, IAFF, ATP...

Nah, the leagues protect their top clubs, unlike Serie A.
