Celtic vs AC Milan UCL 03/10/2007

From the first 11 the only players that should be changed are Dida and Gila
This team needs a keeper (Abbiati) and a striker (Ronaldo) and another 2 or 3 good subs

To change the coach and buy 7-8 new players it isn't something to do not even in one summer

Maybe in this moments it looks like Berlu and Galliani push too much with this team but i think they know what they have to do

Abbiati isn't good enough as 1st choice. Like Dida, Kalac, Fiori, Coppolla, Efele, he is mentally not good enough. Get Frey, Manniger as sub, and promote Offredi. get rid of the keeping coach too.

And the new coach should be.......
Please don't say Mourinho!

I said Abbiati only for this season (from January)
I doubt that Fiorentina will sell Frey in the next mercato

Money talks. Parma sold Buffon, we sold es. Frey IMO would jump at the chance to play for Milan.

Dida and The Parkhead Slapper - The Milan man's mystery assailant took the gloss off Celtic's win as he lost his head - and most likely his season ticket - running onto the pitch to give Dida a pat on the cheek. But the goalkeeper may be just as embarrassed after replays showed him chasing after the fan before deciding to go down with an 'injury'. Whereas he could have been forgiven for going down when hit with a firework against Inter two years ago, there was no excuse for his over-reaction to the jowl-tugging. Stretcher and an ice pack? He wouldn't last long in a Glasgow night-club.

I hope this irony wont get me banned, but its copied from eurosport.com

I don't think we can convince Della Vale like we did with Lotito in January
Lazio didn't play in any european competition and they need money

Fiorentina it isn't in need for money in this moment they actually want to reinforce their team to win a CL place for next season and play another 2 or 3 rounds in uefa cup

At best they probably will say
We talk about Frey but only in the summer

Give them Dida & Gilardino, Simic & Brocchi, although we can hope they haven't seen the last few years of these players. And take Montolivio too.

AC Milan keeper Dida was tonight ruled out of the World Tig Championships following a horror injury sustained at Celtic Park Glasgow. Dida who was in the running for the top spot in the WTC was struck down by a gifted unknown from Glasgow. The amatuer tig player cornered Dida between two posts and a net and managed to tig him and shout "You're it" before making a clean get away. Dida attempted to tig him back but was unable to catch the nimble soap dodger. Dida was so humiliated at being caught by a "rank" outsider that he collapsed in a total cream puff and had to be carried from the field greeting for his mammy.

I like this idea especially if it includes Montolivo.......
and Ujfalusi and....
Am i gettin too gready?
Frey - Ujfalusi - Montolivo + Di Natale

At this point Fiorentina will start to struggle
and Milan will win CL again

Blog: Dida’s disgrace
While nobody can condone an interloper on the pitch confronting a player, was the bigger crime in Milan’s clash with Celtic not Nelson Dida’s theatrical over-reaction? Steve Wilson thinks an Oscar is in order for the Brazilian shot-stopper
I have to confess that I have a conflict of interests in this debate – let’s just say I wasn’t too upset with Milan’s defeat to Celtic last night. But club loyalties aside, there is a single issue that overshadowed the latest chapter in the Rossoneri’s malaise, and in my opinion there is more than one punishment that UEFA should be dishing out when they review the video of the game and the Nelson Dida ‘assault’.

If you didn’t see the incident let me recap. Following Scott McDonald converting a last-gasp winner for Celtic, a home supporter ran across the penalty area and placed what can, at worst, be described as a slap on the chest of Baghera La Pantera. The netminder then fell to the soil clutching his head as if he had been clocked by a Rocky Balboa haymaker and left the pitch on a stretcher with an ice pack clutched to his temple.

First things first, this Ned should never have been able to get on the playing area and whatever fine UEFA have set aside for punishing such incidents will correctly be handed to Celtic. Nobody can have any complaint about this. If this had occurred at the San Siro there would probably be cries from the British Press for peninsula clubs to be banned, so the Scottish champions must take the fine without complaint.

Obviously no player should have to worry about being attacked on the pitch and, while this incident can be laughed off, you have to consider that the moron could have been carrying a knife. But, in this case, the assailant wasn’t even packing a decent punch, so to see Dida’s reaction was quite embarrassing – a shameful act of deception that surpassed Alberto Gilardino’s dive on the same ground last season.

I’m kidding myself to think that UEFA will punish the ‘keeper, but there is a precedent in world football. In 1989 Chile were losing to Brazil in a crucial World Cup qualifier. A flare was thrown on to the pitch and ‘keeper Roberto Rojas fell to the ground apparently in agony, before video evidence showed the flare didn’t touch him and his injuries were self-inflicted. Rojas was banned for life and Chile booted out of the competition.

I’m not saying Dida’s career should be over – well maybe it’d be doing him a favour after his recent howlers – but such an act of pantomime deserves punishment. His collapse when the only thing injured was his pride was a cynical attempt to dramatise the incident to Celtic’s detriment. Then again, maybe I’m being harsh on the tall, well-built custodian. If his pain threshold is as soft as his hands then that wee tap probably was excruciating.

What gets me is the humiliation this has brought to Milan. This will definitely make highlight reels the world over. Depressing.

Over-doing this is not humor anymore, it's an irony. And irony is a weapon aimed to hurt others psychologically. You are hurting not just Dida but also your fellow MM members who are reading your post. We do not need to endure your mockery and irony on Dida anymore.

It neither is humorous nor makes you stand out. Please respect yourself.

I'll put on my positive hat again: Please, help us in building a supportive community, one that is based on trust and integrity. - J

I agree with the bashing...but some of us are just working with what Dida gives us...if Pippo, kaka, Maldini makes a blunder I'll say it...if they scored a brilliant goal I'll say it too...there's a difference between "burning/bashing" a player(like blaming Gila when he only played 15 min) and just writing about what you see(Dida's blunders' howlers)...Dida is our Achilles tendon, he's been making silly mistakes for a while, is a trend which is why maybe it looks like he's been criticized too much...I literally celebrate every time Dida catches a cross or a corner because it's Dida

FORZA LA PANTERA DIDA!!!!!

Interesting that you went with the f word and human excrement in the same sentence. From the first F word I thought you liked Dida, but the second bit cleared things up.

Pantera? Seedorf is a panther. Dida is a neutered one. Honestly, you should write a letter of apology to the ADFP (Anti-Defamation League for Panthers).

Does that make him less passionate than the rest of the Milanista? Hell no.
People have different way in showing what they feel as long as they dont overboard.

As long as we don't become a forza Inter forum.
Forza Milan!

Thanks for the kind words.

As for the forza Inter bit--things will go back to normal soon enough.
