Del Piero turns 38 today. Always loved him except for a couple of times (dat bycicle cross in May 2005 is both beautiful and terrifying) but I'll always remember him for this. So good. But really, he had an awesome career, a lot of incredible goals (the one at Fiorentina in his early 20s iirc, his free kick against Inter after Calciopoli and many more) and managed to win basically everything with Juve, plus a World Cup. Truly a great player, too bad we don't get to see him anymore in Italy.

I thought Juve-GAF would've covered this :p

:((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

I love everything about that goal. Cannavaro taking matters into his own hands, Totti shoving him away to pass it to Gilardino. Gilardino's pass and then Del Piero's finish.
And the German girl
If you look closely you can see that when Marchisio starts pulling Milito's shirt he is the only one outside the box, his arm is inside and when Milito is fouled(a second later, before he slips) he is inside too.
Yeah I think the point of the picture was the moment he started shirt tugging but that's not how it really works. A very stupid soft penalty to give away.

What is everyone's thoughts on Tottenham and the and the chant containing the word 'Yid'.

Over the last few days the Society of Black Lawyers chairman, Peter Herbert has urged police to prosecute those who hold aloft banners bearing the name ‘Yid Army’ and chant it during games. The Police have said there is 'no deliberate intent to cause offense' and Tottenham bosses have welcomed that stance.

But here is a video from the Kick It Out campaign which includes Lineker and Lampard where they slam the term and deem it racist and that term should be eradicated from the terraces.

So what are your thoughts?

Yeah I don't think any racist slur should get a pass. Regardless of intent, if you're going to ban racist chants, you should ban all of them.

What's the "p" word? POM?

It's like Ajax Amsterdam, they do the same and even are allowed to have Israeli flags, and they claim using ''yid'' is just a sobriquet.

But if opponent's supporters start singing songs ''against yids'', it's anti-semitic all of a sudden, and frowned upon.

I say : ban the word 'yid', so other teams won't sing anti-yid songs...

I more or less agree with this.

I think Yid Army is fucking daft, mind. And I can see the point of view that it somewhat gratuitously gives wankers a target for racial abuse.

Really? I agree in principal that things not meant to cause harm are, on a moral level, permissible, but for consistency's sake you'd expect things like this to be investigated. Especially in England, the world's moral compass.

I'm kidding, I know it's 'paki', but it seems weird that it's referred to as the 'p-word.' It must be a more sensitive issue in the UK, because it doesn't have anywhere near the same gravity as 'nigger' in the USA, and in Australia, apparently it's not considered racist so much as an abbreviation. But then, to Australians, 'black' is a difficult term to use because of tensions between European Australians and aboriginals, where in the USA it's a neutral term and generally deemed politically correct...

I would be perfectly happy if Spurs said, as a club, don't chant it or you'll be booted. I think the Society of Black Lawyers' legal ultimatum is a bit of a symbolic firework for their (largely reasonable) ten-point plan, and I think it's a slightly weird choice of focus. And I think the FA and clubs being pressed into action through legally-toned lobbying is not a pattern we really want to develop. Not least because we could get to a stage where they will utterly slack until you do haul them into court.

Some Australians, I guess.

The English+Scottish Enlightenment was less loopily radical than the French and more comprehensible than the German: there's the grain of a case there for arguing that it was set up to play a tiny ickle bit of a moral compass role in an increasingly irreligious Europe.

But yes, morsel. England did piss it away through imperialist shit, and then the persecution of Luis Suarez. And the propagation of filth media like Banned Paper and Extra-Banned Paper.
