I still have hope that one of Nico, Koop, and Douglas Luiz will finally do something crucial and very useful. Like some last minute goal that wins us a match and the 4th place. So some day we could say... ok, this guy sucked/didn't show his best while at Juve, but you remember that xxxxxxx situation, right? Like Storaro's clearance against Real.

I know that they won't do shit, but I hope.
Borriello against Cesena in 2012. :touched:

Osvaldo did something at Juve. I just can’t remember what anymore.

Since VAR, in almost all cases, with certain notable exceptions like that fuck up when it disallowed a Bonucci goal for offside, is there to correct a mistake from the ref or the linesman, being penalized or favored by VAR means the same - the refs originally made a mistake.

If team A is penalized by VAR, it shows that it was previously favored by the refs (didn't call an offside, didn't see a foul for a penalty, called a penalty when they shouldn't have)
If team B is favored by VAR, it shows that it was previously penalized by the ref (disallowed goal for offside, when there wasn't offside etc.)

In short, Juve being among the most "penalized" teams by VAR is used by the thick Juve opponents as a proof that we were/are favored by the referees, and that if there was no VAR we'd have continued getting the favorable treatment.

On the other hand, the just as thick Juve fans are using it to show some anti-Juve conspiracy.

back to ranieri's meltdown for a second, after seeing the footage, i kind of understand him. marelli once again came up with the wrong argument. incredible how a supposed expert on refereeing can be so wrong on so many occasions. the penalty was revoked not because there was no contact between the two players, but because the contact happened after koné started to fall on the ground. it was a dive and koné started it before the contact. ranieri is rightfully pissed because of the bs argument. marelli once again acts like a fraud



ranieri is also right to point out that the refereeing - including var - is inconsistent, unpredictable and unreliable. var is imperfect in its current form

Ranieri can bla bla bla as much as he wants. Who cares what some Marelli guy said? That episode yesterday was a great proof why VAR is needed. The ref saw contact and called a penalty, but the VAR noticed what really happened. Pašalić had his foot firmly on the ground before the contact was made, and he didn't move his leg at all after it reached the ground. The contact that followed was made by the Roma player who started falling without being touched.
I applaud the VAR for a great decision.

⚠️ Gabriele Oriali allegedly confided: “This time I can’t go where he goes,” referring to Antonio Conte. A clue about the coach’s future, increasingly distant from Naples: Juventus or Milan are the possible destinations, but Oriali, the Nerazzurri symbol, couldn’t follow him there. Allegri is the name De Laurentiis likes for the post-Conte era. Flexible, company-minded, perfect for the Naples project. [La Verità, via SportMediaset]
