Naughty Italians up to no good again

[dkw]

More match fixing in the Italian league with players like Stefano Mauri, Criscito and Kaladze being arrested along with Juve manager Conte`s house being accessed by the police and the Italian national squad all being frisked at the camp. After all the sh*t Blatter and his crony Platini spout I would love to hear there take on this.

[San Joe Vese]

italian football is pure and simple sh*t since the 80's, when the first match fixing scandal came up.

Then the Calciopoli stuff that killed our football forever. Now this again...

...and there's still someone that have a laugh when I tell them I support an english team.

[Zola]

The Italian league is woeful now, used to be so good.

[CFCDocker]

Lets hope the same happens again as last time, Few clubs get relagated so we can have some cheap players.

Vidal is a class act, Isn't Criscito playing for Zenit?

[San Joe Vese]

yes he plays in Russia, he got arrested this morning at the meeting of the national team in Coverciano for Euro 2012.

Great spot for our football innit

Came in here expecting porn... how disappointing.

This is really very sad if it turns out to be true. Serie A was looking good again this season and this could be a massive blow it doesn't need. I was looking forward to seeing what Juventus and AC could do in the Champions League next year, hopefully this doesn't detract from very much of the football being played, although if Conte is being investigated and is having his house searched I wouldn't hold my breath.

[CFCDocker]

I just read that it doesnt involve Juventus, Conte is during his time at his previous club (Siena?)

[San Joe Vese]

he is investigated for the last season game Novara-Siena.

My local team is also involved and I really can't stand it, I'll probably never go to a match again, totally disgusted

[abigsmurf]

I don't get how they've allowed this to happen again. You'd have thought it would've been a zero tolerance approach after the last scandal.

[Zeta]

Shame AS Bari got involved in it all, I used to like them.

[Blueregard]

Inter would benefit again if Udinese, Lazio and Napoli are found guilty and banned from European competition .

On the bright side when calciopoli happened we won the world cup, definitely a sign that we're going to win the Euros. Such a shame that this is still happening though.

Also won the '82 cup one and half year after the first match fixing scandal.

Don't think that's gonna happen again. Italy don't deserve that either...
