JUVE -MILAN...29^ Giornata

I'm not saying that we were robbed of a victory tonight by the ref, but these 'small' mistakes anger me as well.
Anyway there is one thing that was very good to see today: after Rino's red card I was afraid that we would lose the game, but the whole team fought harder in that period and even then we had energy to attack.

Proud of Milan today? Only because we were slightly less boring and sluggish than Juve?

Those 'several occasions' where the referee makes a mistake always seem to happen in favor of Juventus. Viera could have been easily sent off in the 1st half. Inzaghi had to offside calls in the 1st half where he was clearly onside, and on one he could have scored but stopped running because of the call. Nedved is a cheating little dive-taking prick, I hope both USA and Italy destroy the Czech Republic at the World Cup.

Dida played well today, seemed confident and sure handed. Kaladze also played very well, and earlier in the season some people here wanted to hang him for the mistake he made against PSV. Overall, I think our defense played well today. Everybody did their job, and its great to see Billy out there again.

Inzaghi played hard but could have done better with some of his opportunities. Sheva had an average game by his standards, but he did not get enough passes from the midfield. Especially from Kaka who played relatively poorly. Sergingho continued to do his job on the left side. He made some nice crosses and had some nice runs, some of which were triggered by Seedorf. Pirlo played OK, better than some of his poor performances earlier in the season but still could do better. Rino also had an OK performance, and I don't think he deserved to get sent off.

What dissapointed me is our play after Rino's red card. For a while we played hard and showed a lot of heart. But after that we just gave the ball away on numerous occasions, its like we just gave up later and decided that we couldn't get a goal.

We should have gotten a penalty on that Nesta shot. It doesn't matter whether it was going in or not, Emerson had his arm extended from his body, maybe not intentionally but that also does not matter.

Well, what do you expect? We did play Juve at the Delle Alpi. And I am not surprised so little people cam to see Juventus, who in their right mind wants to see this sort of play?

For a little while we played hard, but after that did you see how we just gave the ball away? Pirlo and Ambro passed it straight to the feet of Juve's players several times.

yeah i m aslo proud with milan even when we lose as a milan fan Im always proud, but clearly it was a PK but when u play juve its always like that and everywhere its talking that juve is manipuling with referes .

This is Juve's rules

Well, I'm always proud of Milan as a club, but not of all our displays, this will be a nonsense.

well, let's not forget that we had a Cl game on Wednesday, which gave us 1 less day to rest compared to Juve. Plus, playing with 10 men against a defensive minded and solid team like Juve is deffinitely gonna get us tired after a while.
Our biggest problem today, IMO, was Rinho's RC and Carlo's failure to sub him off at the start of the 2nd half. Still not sure why a player like Vogel, especially after his performance vs Empoli and Bayern, didn't get in Gattuso's place after the restart. If that move had been done, it would have kept the solidity in midfield, added vision and creativity, and most importantly kept us with 11 men on the field.

I am not saying that we should have scored after Rino's red card, just that some of the give-aways we made were absolutely ridiculous. And its not like it was a hard situation, just a simple pass. But instead I saw Pirlo and Ambro make some silly mistakes, and one almost led to a Juve goal. Only a fould against Pirlo saved us.

I don't care at all about how Juve played today, i care about Milan's game and it was pathetic.
Some may say that it was Juve we played against and that it wasn't easy for us, but did any of you saw at least a spark of motivation in our team ? I didn't
We played like we were satisfyed with the draw, no motivation at all.

Ancelotti..as much i respect him, i could have killed him if he was close to me. Putting Costacurta as right back ???? Was he drunk or something ?
Where did all the creativity go tonight ? I didn't see it at all !
Why Inzaghi out ? he mayed seem like an amateur tonight, but he was the only dangerous man in our team ! Carlo should have played with 3 attackers after 60 minute, because we had nothing to lose, we could have won only !

Penalty or not ? If i was a referee i would have done the same thing as Descantis !
We had the same situation few times this year ( i remember the last one, Serginho's handball against Reggina) and there was never a penalty against us.
Addmit it, if the situation was different and our player played with hand, we would have said it wasn't deliberate !


Juventus...awfull, but i guess it was Capello who ordered them to play this way. The guy was playing for 0:0 and he got it. That's why he's great and he brought us , and all the others, so many trophies.

I'm very dissapointed with Milan tonight. We had the chance to beat Juve and we didn't even try to score

The sitaution did look suspicious, especially given Juve's fame for getting helped by refs, but watch it on replay and you'll see that a PK in that situation would have been an unfair decision.

I agree!! This was certainly no penalty kick.

I'm also a bit sad with the reaction of Gattuso after his second yellow card. Of course it was a yellow card! If the referee would have given a red card for that foul, I wouldn't be angry either. Gattuso has dissapointed me today.

For the rest, this was a quite boring game, but especially Juve is responsible for that. Every minute there was a Juve player laying on the ground. Especially Nedved. What was wrong with him today?

Anyway, 0-0 is the right result I think.

We should have won. Great kaka today, unfortunately the pitch did not help Pippo in his 2 chances. What is up with Gila? He never seems to be participating in the game. Great Nesta/Kaladze partnership. Poor ref today, not for the penalty, but for his poor decisions. Vieira deserved a yellow card much earlier than it was given (if itwas given at all), and Nesta shud not have gotten a yellow card for complaining. Very poor referee certainly.

I hope we dont lose more ground to Inter. The scudetto I believe is now officially for Juve. Only after today's game I have given up. I hope we use Serie A to regain confidence of players like Jankulovski and Amoroso. Hope Ancelotti tries the 3man defence for teams that will defend, because that's exactly what Lyon will do against us in the 2nd leg.

we had some hope for the scudetto but now we must concentrate in CL.
if we had won this game, maybe it could be possible to achieve Juventus, but still very difficult. let´s not give much attention to this game
Paris is our goal. we must concentrate hard to defeat Lyon and probably Barça.
i think 2º place in serie A is ours
forget the rest

see ya

After this game I actually started really believing that Juve paid all the refs in Italy...What a hell was that? Nesta claimed a penalty and got a yellow card...Although my fiance said that Nesta said "vaffanculo" to ref...Is that true? Although even in 10 men we played well...Poor Rino... Sheva seemed very tired or lazy, he didnt have any desire to run after the ball or try to anticipate it...Nesta played very good, Dida too..Kaka almost wasnt seen and Inzaghi missed a couple of great opportunities...After all...draw I guess means that whatever we do, we will not see first place...

Nesta did say vaffanculo, but he had his back turned to DeSantis so it was more likely as if he was saying s**t or f**k because he was booked. Apparently, referees in Italy get easily offended these days, had it been Juve`s player it`d go unnoticed.There were some serious mistakes as far the refereeing goes, but i don`t think PK was one of them, it was more about booking and few offsides which Pippo was not part of.Overall, i think Milan played good, but not good enough to win. Juve played a dull game and defended most of the time, i think we were more `open` and created many chances which statistics in shots at goal also show.At least we can now focus on CL, and i`m actually pretty encouraged because it seems we`re coming back to our old form at the best possible moment.
I`m anxiously waiting for Giova`s report from the match since he was there.
FORZA MILAN!
