Sorry for triple post but why wasn't that a goal?

THey whistled the play before it apparently.

Though getting tripped and finishing the play there was excellent

Apparently the announcers haven't seen anything like this in twenty years. So this is crazy even for calcio standards.

why wouldn't they just throw out the players who attacked a ref and then play out the game?

I think the cops are there on the fairly reasonable assumption that the crowd might riot

I mean that's what I'd want but if that happened in the NBA or whatever I'm pretty sure the game would be over and the offending team would lose.

The guy kicking the ref has white pants on it's just really shadowy + bad quality. All the pants are team color +purple so thats also a bit confusing.

We all just witnessed the pistons pacers moment of calcio storico. I could see Verdi playing Rossi again in the finals. If they let blue slide there is 0 way there will be a rematch. I could see white getting a year ban as well.

Decision has been made: the final will be Rossi-Bianchi, on the 24th.

Nice. Any news about what happened to the ref kicker. I guess he was blue? The gif is super dark so it's hard to tell. Also I really thing white was going to come back and win that, so I'm excited for the final. My first thought was the ref kicker cant be a Bianchi player, Bonfiglio would go nuclear.

Reading the youtube comments apparently two to three refs were attacked by blue players because they thought they were helping the Whites and that a couple blue players had been expelled unjustly (those were probably the ones mentioned as remaining). I honestly can't remember expelled players regularly re entering before unless they took a short break because of injury. They usually get pretty visibly carted out and sent to the stands.

Some good youtube insight

quote:

The blues have really broken the cock: hats jumping on sebastian after being expelled, the other ever expelled that did not come out, kicks the referees not to mention then the past years like for example when in four beat zikic ... And the fans singing "fails to win" ??????? bah ....

Time to update the Calcio villain list. Rossi have moved from 4th most respectable team to 3rd.

e- I saw that clip live too and I hope it wasn't Bonfiglio. Either way I think he'll play the second leg. He only played the second leg last year iirc.

You have to get tickets through http://www.boxofficetoscana.it/ but they sell out very quickly when they go on sale in May. You can supposedly get tickets to the standing areas where all the lunatics go in person on the day of but if it's like any other sporting even in Italy you have to be registered with the team itself to do so.

Well, another year in the books. I was pretty busy around and during the final and consequently did a poor job of reminding people to check it out, but for those who did. drat what a classic.

The first game started out with a textbook example of what happens to a good team when they rack up expulsions and injuries- They loving fold. Green started out in front and looked the better team but very quickly in they had one of their key ballrunners flattened and then racked up numerous other various expulsions. I don't think I've seen such a difference in number of players before. Rossi didn't have to be good they just had to overpower the weakened Verdi and they did. final score 11.5-4

The second game was an amazing disaster. Testy from the start the Azurri took a rare lead over the reigning champions Bianchi. The game ended in a NO CONTEST when the Azurri, aggrieved after believing to have players wrongly sent off, decided to assault the referees while in control of the game. Complete wasteman behavior which is completely par for the course. The game ended 18 minutes in with blue leading white 2.5 - 0.

After the embarrassing display the Calcio Storico governing body decided to let the games continue and grant White passage into the finals. The final was an amazing end to end game. The aggressiveness and underhandedness was noticeably turned down, most likely in light of prior events. Bianchi looked to be the better team but their shooting was off. This put them in a situation where they had to rally from behind and score and amazing last second goal to win another consecutive championship by a scoreline of 6 to 5.5
