I got that foreingly embarrasment feeling, this man is a joke and the ref better snap out of his blissful dream, it makes the match look unprofessional.

As he's grown older he seems to be less of a diver now. I think Nedved was worse in his youth. As he’s grown older he seems to be less of a diver now.

Of course a Romanista would hate a Juve legend who's ex-Laziale, though. Yeah, especially with the Nedved bashing. Of course a Romanista would hate a Juve legend who’s ex-Laziale, though.

He's just a bit more refined in his technique, which is something of a compliment. Francesco, I’d argue it’s still Nedved.

Fine, give em a goal on the free kick and take away the Cavani offside goal. No net change. And you'd be surprised how little Roma and calcio in general affect everything else I do.

Kinda like that back pass that somehow wasn't a back pass in Palermo v Roma? I would argue more strenuously but Roma was beaten so badly this weekend that I feel a bit bad for Chris. Plus, Lazio have been winning. Lazio 6, Roma 1 -- Ouch. “severely questionable” Thats funny. Kinda like that back pass that somehow wasn’t a back pass in Palermo v Roma?

"Ooooh, that's a good acting job by Tedesco. (as slow-motion replay is unfolding)....You can see the delayed pain (in reference that he started to feel the slap about a second or two after it had occurred) traveling through his body." i have to say 3 things: 1. yes it was a fine bit of acting 2. Muntari did strike him and did do it intentionally. this should not be tolerated in football and he deserved to be punished 3. he shold not have received a red card for it. however, on top of this, subsequent to Muntari's being shown off, about 8 or more Inter fouls (a bunch of bad tackles, 2 pushes and a couple of shirt tugs) were clearly ignored while Catania received 2 unwarranted yellows for completely minor shirt tugs. Reffing was very inconsistent. As neither a Catania nor Inter fan i think i am being pretty objective. At best Inter deserved to tie, but probably shoiuld have lost. the funniest thing was the Scottish commentator’s reaction.
