So when I first saw what happened, I felt bad cuz to me, that’s a dive because the contact is minimal. And I hate Juve, but I also value sportsmanship. But the way social media and regular media have shifted this into a narrative where we always get decisions to go our way just pissed me right off to show me how deluded some of these fans are.

Like people act like there haven’t been mistakes by Juve, Milan or Napoli against Inter or we have had no mistakes committed by refs against us this season. Part of me thinks Basto flopped and celebrated way he did because of what happened against Liverpool. But the commentary I have heard from pages I respect like Luca, it’s ridiculous.

What this does mean tho is that refs will most likely try to balance it out or lowkey be more harsh on us going forward to save face meaning there go the 50-50 decisions. And I wouldn’t be surprised if more soft pens are called against us. Oh well, we move on!

    If this had happened to any other of the Italian top teams it would have just been a discussion about how naive Kalulu was for extending his arm.

    We get 1 non reviewable decision in favor that in real time looked right while we lost tiles to VAR with audio disappearing. It’s just a media storm as Juve still has the most power inside of Italy.

  2. Great retribution. I laugh every time when Juve fans talk about the referees, league and Marotta.

    To be honest, as an Inter fan I’m not buying this argument.

    I prefer to keep the two things separate: the reactions are ridiculous, very much expected and clearly with an agenda, but I also wish to never see an Inter player act like Bastoni again. Neither behavior justifies the other, both show Italian football at its worst.

  4. In an opposite scenario (which happens all the time) they would blame bastoni for being reckless

  5. I haven’t. Not even for a second. They said for years that the referee is the losers’ excuse, but they are the loudest at crying as soon as something doesn’t go their way. They can all fuck off.

    Well, in the refereeing world, they’re well aware of all the errors and simulations, so much so that referee Rocchi emphasized how “the players” (not just Bastoni) constantly try to deceive them with simulations and other fouls (like the AC Milan player who stepped on the penalty spot to harm the opposing penalty taker: in my opinion, that deserves a red card for unsportsmanlike conduct).
    Now that Inter have been given the advantage through a mere oversight, everyone’s up in arms.
    Good!
    Let VAR be used to expose simulations and other fouls, so that AC Milan will be the first to stop winning easily.
