:agree: That V********o Farina has obviously made this situation out to be a lot worse in his report than it really was! Juve should put in an official complaint against him! He was probably doing this as per moratti's instructions because we made such rapid progress up the league & c***face doesn't want us promoted. Pavel should appeal of course.
:agree:

Disgraced Italian club Juventus went top of Serie B despite being held to a 1-1 draw at Genoa on Friday.
Juve, relegated in the summer over match-fixing allegations, are level with Napoli, who play Frosinone on Saturday, but have a game in hand.

Czech Pavel Nedved put Juve ahead in the 71st minute with a free-kick that was deflected off Genoa's Ivan Juric.

Croatian Juric equalised two minutes later when he latched on to a through pass from Giuseppe Greco.

Nedved was sent off in injury time for a second yellow card after a foul on Francesco Bega. :coffee:

In October Juve:heart: , Lazio and Fiorentina had their penalties for involvement in the country's match-fixing scandal reduced.

Lazio had their penalty slashed from 11 points to three, Juventus' was reduced to nine from 17, while Fiorentina's deficit was cut from 19 to 15 points. :shifty:

AC Milan failed in their bid to have their eight-point penalty from the start of the season reduced.

Juve, who are managed by Frenchman Didier Deschamps, have yet to lose a game in Serie B this season. :rolleyes:

GENOA, Italy -- Juventus edged to the top of Italy's Serie B after drawing 1-1 at Genoa on Friday. :angel:

Pavel Nedved put Juventus ahead in the 71st minute and Ivan Juric equalized for Genoa three minutes later.

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon had saved a penalty kick in the 31st minute and a lively encounter was climaxed with the stoppage time dismissal of Nedved..

Juventus have 25 points, the same as Napoli, who play Frosinone on Saturday.

Juventus are undefeated and have the best record in the second division -- 10 wins and four draws -- but have a nine-point penalty from the Italian match-fixing scandal, which saw the club relegated.

The game featured two of the most storied clubs in Italy. Genoa, founded in 1893, were the country's first professional team and Juventus have the most Serie A titles, 27.

The clubs are also regional rivals the Luigi Ferraris stadium was full with 37,000 fans.

Missing captain Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet -- both injured -- Juventus initially relied on inexperienced Raffaele Palladino and Valeri Bojinov in attack. :D

Palladino had a goal ruled out for offside in the fourth minute and Bojinov missed several opportunities.

Juventus defender Alessandro Birindelli was penalized for a dubious push at a corner kick in the 31st minute but Buffon dived to his left to knock Brazilian striker Adailton's penalty kick off the post. :confused:

Veteran wingers
In the second half, Juventus started using its veteran wingers, Mauro Camoranesi and Nedved, more effectively.

Nedved met a Camoranesi cross with a header that went right at the Genoa keeper in the 70th. A minute later, Nedved scored with a free kick that deflected in off Genoa's two-man wall. :shocked:

Three minutes later, Juric received a well-headed pass and chipped the ball in over a charging Buffon.

Nedved was expelled for a straight red card two minutes into injury time. :frown:

pavel nedved has been quoted to say that farina is a liar, he never insulted him and it was all lies what he wrote in the match report. He also said that its all a political attack on Juventus, and that with such referees it is even better not to play football at all.

did juve end up buying him?
We didn't buy him...

We took him on loan and loaned him to another club...

When the last season ended, he went back to his club in South America...
