JUVE 26TH SCUDETTO!!!!

What the hell are you talking about, and who are the stupid immigrants?

This guy is a nut. Who the hell cares about Juve and their refereeing decisions

You seriously seem to have a big mental problem. I suggest you go and get professional help, or it might turn out bad for you and the people around you.

No need to yell man! But you`re right, Lazio did get a LOT of help on Sunday too ( I saw both matches here in Sweden ) but no one talked about it. I just can`t stand the Swedish reporters - they were supporting throughout the whole season just because Ericsson is their coach. I hate that! Zambrotta & Polish Power, you must admit that all "big teams" in Serie A get LOT of help by refferes, as much as Juve. They are getting all the attention because they usually go all the way ( winning the Scudetto ). Just imagine, Inter or Milan on the top of the table at this point of the season... It`ll be the same story! It has always been that way in Italy, that`s how refferes get their "points". Juve was the best team this season in my opinion & deserve to win the title!

hey everyone, calm down......both Juve and Lazio had calls go their way on Sunday, but we have to realise that over the 30-something matches they play a season, the calls always even out..........for example cast your mind back to the Milan-Juve game....shev got a penalty for a non-existant foul, yet when del piero got smashed in the box by De Ascentis, the ref turned his back....its easy to see that Juve aren't always favoured by referees like some people on this forum like to say they are

anyway, its down to the wire yet again....hope Juve can beat Perugia and get no. 26......FORZA JUVE!!!!!!!!

If serieA had professional refree's - Juve and AC milan wud drop down the league table.

anyway here's an interesting article:

Rivals wonder again about Juve and referees
Published: May 08, 2000


Once again a Juventus title charge has been damaged by long held Italian beliefs that the Turin giants receive too many favours from match officials.

The decision yesterday to disallow a last minute header from Parma AC defender Fabio Cannavaro has pitched referee Massimo De Santis into the centre of a national row over the worth of the Serie A championship.

A draw yesterday would have seen Juve lose top spot in the title race to SS Lazio with one game to go and the decision was apparently given against the Parma player for pushing in the penalty area at a corner. This common offence is rarely penalised by match officials and almost never at a vital moment in the game.

The decision maintains a 2 point lead for Juventus who face a trip to Perugia next week while SS Lazio host Reggina in a much easier assignment for the Rome side.

Two years ago a Juventus title was marred by a decision that saw a clear penalty disallowed for Internazionale - their nearest title rivals at the time - in a row that saw a fight between Juve and Inter rivals in the Italian parliament. The day after the decision sports daily 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' devoted 16 pages to the controversy and a similar outcry is expected during this week as the tension builds towards the title deciders on Sunday afternoon.

Lazio owner Sergio Cragnotti has used the incident to add to his campaign for professional referees and hinted Lazio could unilaterally ignore Serie A to chase European trophies on a more level playing field in a veiled threat to create a Super League.

If the two leading teams are level then a two leg play off will decide the title but many feel Juve's 2 point advantage will be enough o see them through to a 26th title.

The link between such unprecedented success, match officials and the powerfully regal Agnelli family of Turin which owns Juventus - Ferarri and Fiat also - is a matter of constant debate among Italian football fans and not just rivals like Cragnotti.

Why can't the Rome clubs admit when they are defeated?? Why can't they just accept that some teams are better than them?? Roma and Lazio always come up with some far out accusations when Juventus and Milan beat them.

If you watch the replay again, from one angle you can see a Juve player fall to the ground just before he heads the ball although you don't see a push. And the referee does seem to blow the whistle before the ball is even close to crossing the line. Its near the end of the season and the newspapers are looking for BIG storys to sell papers.

The same thing happens in England all the time with Man Utd getting every favourable desision and no one says a thing!
