Mosin, look what you just wrote: in the roma blog. This is not the Roma blog. This is also not the main Offside blog. You’re not making much sense, and it doesn’t help that your complaint seems to boil down to “I don’t like what goes on at the Roma blog, and it’s terribly unfair that someone from there took over the Italy blog.”

Yeah, I do need a link. Or do you mean this one from the homepage? (Which is not, in fact, italy.)

http://www.theoffside.com/leagues/serie-a/10-things-we-learned-in-serie-a-this-weekend-2.html

As has been said, if you’ve got a problem with me, deal with it somewhere else. And at least be accurate about it.

Quite frankly man, this ain’t your site. And we’ve got carte blanche, so if you don’t like the content – again – go somewhere else. It’s not your place to bitch. Got it?

(And if you really put on your thinking cap, you’ll see that this post IS unbiased. Fact is, it all happened. There’s no debating it. And the whispers were in fact coming back. Still here, actually.)

Don’t tell me you were not the one writing in the roma blog ready to put a 500 word article about ref (and you did so in italy blog with how another juve is back with another calciopoli, main photo that had yellow policetapes. Do you really need a link?)

Refereeing in serie A is horrible. I can agree. Many team has been victims, sure. Don’t portray a single club as the victim of the whole incidents. Specially when theoffside roma fans has been mocking on other teams whenever roma got advantages.

Now, which part did I make up?

My mistake, Mosin. When you talk about the way Roma won this round and link to the highlights of the Napoli game, reasonable people might assume that your point had something to do with that game.

Chris has been doing a pretty good job of staying neutral on the main blog. If he’s remarked on the quality of the refereeing, it’s unsurprising, because I think most anyone you talk to will agree that it could be improved. If you have a problem with him personally, this really isn’t where it belongs.

“writing complaints as long as the bible in Italy blog”

You’re just making stuff up again. Agenda, that’s all. Show me anywhere here where I’ve written anything of the sort. Guess what? You won’t.

If you don’t like me, deal with this stuff somewhere else. Email me your rant, fine. But don’t clutter this space with idiotic nonsense. Or just leave. Change brings about varied feelings. Some will like it, some won’t. But don’t sit here and make up stuff to slander me.

Lisa, I’m not complaining how Napoli lost because of the ref, but Chris and a few roma fans crying for justice every three article in the serie A blog. I don’t care what he writes in Roma blog, but writing complaints as long as the bible in Italy blog yet omitting every single advantages roma team got is laughable.

Brad, last year roma lost due to Ronaldo diving outside pk box and earning a fk that ended up as a goal. Does that make every non-complained dive justifiable?

Chris, that was much more dubious than a non-handball which was indeed a handball that turned out to be not a handball. If that is a pk situation after all, then Roma would have had bunch of pks against them. Mexes pulls harder (or better) in pk zones.

Thank you, Lisa (and brad). Roma Offside seems to have created some enemies which throw logic out the window. It’s an agenda, little one can do.

Moisin, give it a rest. I’m a Napoli fan. I was there. I know how dubious that penalty was. But no matter how much I love Napoli or how much it burns me to say this, Roma won. They already had the 1-0 on their own merits, and no matter how questionable I may think the refereeing was, I also know that my team did not have it together Sunday-which is exactly why the owner, coach, and management are not saying anything about the penalty. It’s hard to complain that the official lost you the game when your team passed to Roma almost as much as they did to each other and can’t shoot on target either.

MAD, if you have a personal issue with Chris, how about you either take it to email or fight it out on the Roma blog?

if the roma penalty was cheating how come no-one from napoli has complained about it, and even napoli’s crazy president has said that roma deserved the 3pts?

Chris, you just don’t understand.

I don’t dislike you. I don’t know you.

But I have had enough of the I LIKE ROMA I LIKE ROMA I LIKE ROMA I LIKE ROMA AND I HATE YOU, NAAAAAAAH

It’s here and it’s on the Inter Boards too and I am sick of it.

I get it. You like Roma. Fine. That’s why there are Roma Boards. Go celebrate… whatever. This is not it, though. There is other stuff interesting football happening, and if you are TRYING to be humorous about something, it can be done without the put downs. I won’t take it from your crap Roma fans invading the Inter Boards, and I won’t take it from you either.

And don’t give me the, “tell me where I said…” crap either. We both know what you were doing, and playing innocent is just dissapointing.

By the way, the Fox Soccer Channel Serie A Weekly for this week opened the show with INTER 100 banner on the screen during the intro. And immediately after the top 10 goals there was a nice little mention of it again, for about 2 minutes before the first break.

So to answer this statement: “And for the record, no one gives a shit about Inter’s 100th bday…or Roma’s….or Juve’s….or Siena’s….or Vicenza Calcio’s”

apparently the entire english speaking soccer world at least has had a mention of it.

p.s. If this was intended as an insult, and I am pretty sure it was, “(And good to see you capitalizing with effect again.)” I think you should work on your material, bacause that was weaker than my aunts tea…
