the coverage of italy is pretty poor. channel4 almost never beats goal.com if we talk about speed. and i know italian well enough to surf through pages, but instead of going through 10 websites i can go to goal.com and find the most important news and go to the source myself if it sounds interesting for me. though i agree that their style is pretty boring and irritating at the same time (and the ban is well deserved), they always exaggerate by a mile. if Kaka says that he would love to play in England one day, then the whole article is about how he didn't left for Man City, but will do it this summer and somewhere in the middle are that innocent interview.

Give 'em a brake? What is this, Penn DOT'S slow down in construction zones thread?

Fuck that. Speed through and hurt somebody.

:lol:
Kind of stupid to limit information based on a few fussed up articles. If we apply the same on all other sites - we should only believe in the local 'messiah's...
Pretty stupid IMO.

Not sure what you're trying to say.

Are you saying Goal Dot Com is an inside job?

I love your username, koss.
Arabic is a great language. The best thing about it - 2 out of 3 times you hear it a bomb comes crashing by... :lol:

I am saying do not be so conclusive about anything.
And btw GOAL.com is by far the least harmless inside job, Secco is the real BOMB.
If they say somebody is leaving - we better hope they are! And to be honest I haven't seen more incorrect articles about Juventus than about the others...

I've been against banning Goal.com for a while but did not complain too much. Yes, they spread some rumors. Yes, they give some fucked up ratings. and Yes, some writers are not really making sense with their articles.

but the majority of rumors, if not all, are all taken from Tuttosport, Gazzetta and other well-known sources which are allowed on this forum.

I still don't see why Goal.com is not allowed on this forums!
My point exactly.

Isnt it ironic that goal.com is banned whereas a site like tribalfootball isnt?Im not implying that Goal.com is a brilliant source of news,but it's not any worse than a lot of sites out there.A lot of rumours that irritate people on Goal.com appear on a lot of other sites too.

Goal.com gets a lot of stick due that guy who registered on Juventus and claimed announcing the Vieri transfer.But even if we choose to ignore that,i dont think Goal.com is as bad as it is made out to be.At times it might have relevant informationt,but even that cant be posted here because it's banned on the forums.A lot of people here dont speak Italian,and Goal.com,in more than one ways,is a big site,with it's share of bullcrap obviously.

I dont read Goal.com.But i dont really read a lot of football news sites.I just follow what posted on the forums.But i think banning goal.com is unfair on people who do not understand Italian,or people who might find a good occasional article on Goal.com.

    they are fast,provide translated articles, easy to just scroll through the headlines and see if there is anything interesting or valid and some of their editorials are not bad
