The best thing about Tedesco’s “split lip” was his ostentatious display of same on Sky Italia, only for everyone to realise that there was no there there.

Credit to Muntari for putting his hand up and refusing to contest the card.

Ya, MAD, at one time Milan had 4 strikers on the field and still could not break through. Ferrari also took Borriello out – he had an awsome game. Also, for the time Little Ron played, he was useless. I dont know if he is tired or what.

I think the press will put this loss firmly at the feet of Ancelotti, but I wonder how much power he really has at the club. I just imagine he is getting messages from Silvo telling him to start Ronnie – they paid through the nose for him and they need to sell more jerseys.

Of course. Figo would have retired last year but for the broken leg (dirty *&%$# Nedved). He knows that he will be playing part time (although he is on the CL list). RQ will be his replacement next season. That way, Figo can train him up.

Oh, and lets go Udinese!

A change of topic but do you think this is the beginning of the end for Figo? I mean he really didn’t do much yesterday and the way RQ and Mancini are playing, I can’t see how he will keep his place in the starting 11…

Milan lost to Genoa 2-0. My Man of the Match- Ferrari who took Kaka out of the game. I mean he wouldn’t let Kaka breathe. Exciting match to watch, if you aren’t a Milan fan.

I guess I was just saying that the ref made the right call. I also found it hard to believe the keeper, who had been playing his heart out, would not protest it if he didn’t think that he was being screwed. Even after the match I didn’t hear anybody gain say the decision.

Meanwhile, Milan is down 1-0 to Genoa. What the hell is going on over there? Not that I’m complaining mind you…

The fact that not one catania player complained, INCLUDING THE KEEPER, speaks far larger volumes than any of our opinions here. They didn’t even so much as bat an eye.

Do you actually think the keeper would not let it go so easy (in a 1-1 macth) if he truly knew the ball did not cross the line?

as the English would say:

See You Next Tuesday. Describes Tedesco to a tee.

Vulgar? Sure. Warranted? Of course.

Dispicable on Tedesco’s part? No Doubt!

Although the call was harsh, Sulley has to show better composure.

Tedesco? Should receive a match ban similiar to what Adriano received 2 seasons ago for simulation. Tedesco’s actions were far worse than what Adriano had done.

There have been numerous incidents, all worse than Adriano’s, since his match ban that have gone unpunished.

What I did was I enlarged the frame (lower right corner) and I paused it at 2:54. I then hit the play/pause button as quick as I could to move the video frame by frame until I reached just after 2:55. I have to say, it still looks like a goal to me.

My point is, exactly what you said. If it takes that kind of confirmation to make sure it’s a goal, I don’t know how the linesman was sure of calling it. Nothing to do with Inter or anything, but it seems like in a 50-50 call like that you’d err on the side of the defense.

True. I would call him a girl but, frankly, as a girl, we are tougher than Tedesco.
