Comments on: Ranieri, Prandelli in Accepting Results With Class Shock! http://italy.theoffside.com/serie-a/ranieri-prandelli-in-accepting-results-with-class-shock.html News from the Italian Serie A Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:30:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Martha http://italy.theoffside.com/serie-a/ranieri-prandelli-in-accepting-results-with-class-shock.html#comment-22699 Martha Tue, 09 Oct 2007 02:30:31 +0000 http://italy.theoffside.com/serie-a/ranieri-prandelli-in-accepting-results-with-class-shock.html#comment-22699 Thanks for post that link, Marco. I watched the show this morning and got a huge kick out of seeing him there engaging with the panelist on those issues -- I understand about 2% of what is said on that show, but you could tell from his body language that he's totally confident and isn't backing down to anybody, it's fantastic. (Also, awesome of Corradi to turn up even after being sent off -- that's gotta earn him some respect.) Thanks for post that link, Marco.

I was when he was still reffing the Serie A and international matches, and still am now that he's in charge of referees in the Italian league. The way he could make the right calls (even the difficult and controversial ones) and still command the respect of the players, was absolutely amazing to me. For those of you that understand Italian, his <i>La Domenica Sportiva</i> contribution can be found <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=DZk07jJ3tPI" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The clarity of his explanations (again, you must be Italian to understand) is staggering, such a shame that a great ref like him won't be found on a soccer field again. The key point Collina illustrated in Juve's goal, was that slow motion replays showed Trezeguet arrived in front of Frey AFTER the ball had passed him, therefore making it very hard to judge whether Frey's view had been blocked. He added that should have Trezeguet run across Frey BEFORE the ball, it would have been an unquestionable offside call. I’m a big fan of Pierluigi Collina.

With a questionable refereeing decision winning them point(s)? You don't say... As if the Juve haters needed any more ammo. Juve? With a questionable refereeing decision winning them point(s)?
