Balotelli walked off the pitch during Brescia's game against Hellas Verona last night. Racial abuse from the supporters. Some claiming it was 'ironical'. What a joke for an excuse

Verona do have a famously nasty set of supporters. I know they're somewhat popular in the English-speaking world because of that book but actually they're a pretty horrible club to be honest.

The head of the verona ultras has been banned for 11 years for the racist abuse to ballotelli.

Should have been life for these shitty comments:

"Balotelli is Italian because he has Italian citizenship, but he can never be completely Italian."

Meanwhile a group of city councillors and people from the mayor's office are on about suing Balotelli for defamation of the city's good name :rolleyes:

Napoli will take legal action against their own players who refused chairman's orders to attend training retreat and Carlo Ancelotti could be sacked for backing them

And we all thought Levy was a running a hard bargain???

Will never understand why Balotelli just didn’t stay at nice as he’d finally found a club where he was scoring and playing regularly (aside from the obvious that the guy is a grade A pillock).

But was shocked reading the comments by the owner and his incredibly racist ‘joke’ who then defended himself by saying he couldn’t be racist because he’s catholic??? ?‍♂️

In fairness, old catholic blokes are well known for always behaving themselves...

I’m watching Lazio v Juve in the bar i’m In. I’m sure Gazzetta football italia made Serie A a lot more fun back in the 90s.

The Italian FA has given up. They don't care anymore...

Just seen the highlights of AC Milan v Atlanta, looks like a pub league with some individual talent.

Inter 0 - 2 AC Milan at the moment and it's HT. Eriksen on the bench. AC Milan the much better team!
