GUILTY

By: Gianfranco | October 11th, 2007

In the biggest case since OJ, Nelson Dida has been found guilty by UEFA for what is being called unsportsmanlike conduct. UEFA has handed down what I consider a lenient two game suspension to the keep that has since fallen out of favor at the club, except in the eyes of Uncle Fester, Galliani. FesterI bet that game sold A TON.

His hard on for Brazilian players is getting a bit out of hand and I think it is time he seeks some form of counseling, I mean how much longer can I bash Inter and their cast of Argies, while I am looking at a roster full of has-been Brazilians….I will give Kaka a reprieve on this rant.

As a rational Milan I feel that Celtic was given a fair penalty because the situation was not as bad as it could have been and UEFA recognized this. A two year probationary and a hefty fine is fine for me, if the fan had been an axe wielding maniac than things would have been much different. Either way Milan is now prime for a new keeper, and their eyes are on an Abbiati return, which I am all in favor of. They have also shown interest in 21 year old Brescia keeper Emiliano Viviano. viviano If Abbiati does not return I am all for a young Italian keeper, heck bring them both in, and then things will be grand.

On a side note, Oddo seems to have taken the torch for Rino as the most outspoken Rossoneri, why? I have no idea, I geuss a year in the Red and Black has made him a hero, maybe Rino has lost his voice? I am not sure yet if I like it, especially when Oddo is calling for Dida mercy. I am beginning to feel like Milanello is turning into a circus sideshow, I am glad the Azzuri are going this weekend so Milan can stay out of the news for a day or two. Good luck to all Rossoneri called into the squad and hopefully The Don can lead the boys to another win on Saturday.

    You’re going to have to give Pato at least until May before he’s a has-been; or better yet, a never was.

    So what happens when Fester announces they won’t be pursuing Drogbacite because Pato is the future? Should we start taking up a collection at the offside now in anticipation of bailing you out of jail?

    A collection for some Proactive for Pato would be a better start. Pato being the future is fine, but when your team consists of 30+ veterans you can not plan for the future you play for the now.

    Biggest advantage Pato got is he’s been training for a long while which helped him blend in. Its like potty training, he’s using the auxiliary equipments for now and sometimes (friendlies) going solo. Soon our young baby will be able to take a poop all alone, maybe even score a goal or 2 or 15 this season =)

    Matt lets be serious here, you can not just assume that Pato will be fine…he is 17, unproven, and relatively dimunitve in stature. All these things spell a bit of learning curve for the Milan youngster. Why not reinforce the strike force with a proven veteran.

    I agree with you gianfranco or use to. but from what im hearing from the players, he’s really good and is a world class striker. i still believe we need a top world class striker, not a good one or even a really good one, we need the best only the best.

    we’ll see what he’ll do in a couple of hours. btw, anyone has a live stream link to the game??!

    Fetyani, what is your definition of world class, just out of curiosty…I always considered it to be a player who has suceeded on both club and international level? Or is it more of a what have you done for me lately?…It is hard to group any of Milan’s stikers in any catergory.

    Well unless of course you use the label of has-been.

    i dont feel celtics punishment was harsh enough. i would hardly call 12500 pounds a hefty fine to celtic thats like a 20 dollar library fine.

    Basically Didas shouldered the blame even though a fan slapped him on the pitch (all be it very softly and on the shoulder)

    a one game stadium ban would have sent a clear message not just to clubs but also their fans that any behaviour that has the potential to put player at risk wont be tolerated

    by world class i mean a player who is at the moment a top goal scorer, not a former great player or someone who has lost it or even someone on the way. we need a player who will score 15 and more goals a season guaranteed.

    ive watched todays game, but the live stream was very bad. of course Gila missed a couple of chances, but he did well on receiving a couple of plays and wide balls but couldnt finish them. and Pato, didnt see much of him but he looked much better than the Dynmo Keiv game.
