Only if the lawyer presenting this is a famously verbose southern lawyer with a Louisiana drawl, like a courtroom Foghorn Leghorn.

quote:

Guido Vaciago, director of Tuttosport , tells it today , attacked not only verbally and heavily threatened by the Juventus coach himself: "Allegri, evidently altered, was subjecting himself to the last media task of his triumphal evening (but evidently not too much serene), the press conference, but he found a few minutes for me" writes Vaciago today in his newspaper. "lovely director! Yes, you lovely director. Write the truth in your newspaper, not what the company tells you! Stop playing hustlers with the company". At first I invite you to stay calm and explain to me what the truth was I was hiding in agreement with his employers, Allegri responded by pulling me , pushing me and with his finger under my nose he shouted: "Look, I know where to come and get you. I'll come and rip off both your ears. I'll come and punch you in the face. Write the truth in the newspaper" and other niceties from the bar fight repertoire."

That’s actually a pretty good translation. I don’t think it’s implying he was drunk though, Allegri was having a meltdown all night despite winning the cup. He was on the warpath.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

speaking of refs

https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/24/former-premier-league-referee-banned-for-five-months-for-insulting-comments

quote:

A former Premier League referee has been banned from all football-related activity for five months after telling a black assistant referee that he couldn’t see him in the dark. Rodger Gifford was working as a referee observer for Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) when he made the remarks after the second-round FA Cup tie between Newport County and Barnet on 2 December 2023.

According to several witnesses, Gifford made jokes about his colleague’s skin colour during a post-match debrief. One account, from the match referee, described Gifford talking about the darkness in parts of the stadium and saying: “It was lucky that you were not over there as assistant referee as we wouldn’t have been able to see you. If you smiled though, we would be able to see your teeth.”

The details were contained in written reasons published by the independent regulatory commission which oversaw the case on behalf of the Football Association. Gifford denied the charges and argued that he “meant the comments without any malice”. This attempt at mitigation was rejected by the commission, which wrote in its decision that “on any objective assessment, the comments made by Mr Gifford were abusive and insulting”. The commission also noted that Gifford “appeared oblivious” to the embarrassment he had caused the assistant referee.

Gifford’s punishment, which also includes a £400 fine, exceeds the customary “sanctions range” of a ban of between six and 12 matches. This was in part because Gifford was revealed to have made a second “aggravated” breach of FA rules on improper behaviour a year previously, an offence for which he incurred an eight-week ban and a fine of £200.

It absolutely blows my mind that someone can still make comments like that with the presumably sincere belief that it's just harmless fun in 2024.
