We discuss the big issue in Serie A as Bastoni receives death threats for getting Kalulu sent off, plus we discuss Napoli v Roma, as well as Fiorentina's victory at Como. Down in Serie B, Venezia suffer their first loss in a while, but bounce back in spectacular fashion v Cesena. Plus, a game... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's a Rigore special as we discuss the VAR-awarded penalties in Genoa-Napoli, while Fiorentina let more points slip to Torino. Down in Serie B, Venezia come out on top in the top of the table clash to win 8 in a row and become the best form team in Europe! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
VENEZIA ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! (We also chat about some other action from the weekend, but... VENEZIA ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We do that rarest of things on the Rigore podcast this week, and give Como a little bit of (grudging) praise. Plus, we wonder if Toro are relegation-bound, and of course go over why Fiorentina slipped up once again. Meanwhile in Serie B, Venezia can't stop scoring - can it last?? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We open with the sad death of Fiorentina President Rocco Commisso, but Fiorentina paid tribute in the best possible way by beating Bologna and lifting themselves out of the relegation zone for about the first time this season. Elsewhere, it was narrow wins and losses all round in Serie A, but in Serie B, not even VAR could stop Venezia completing a fine comeback against Catanzaro to move within one point of first place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
An exciting weekend that saw a draw in the big clash between Inter and Napoli that had goals, red cards and controversial penalties. Fiorentina meanwhile almost beat Milan but another last minute goal held them back, while Juve are starting to do that ominious Juve thing of winning games quietly and becoming real title contenders. Meanwhile in Serie B, Venezia put in a great performance to move clear into second place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's a Happy New Year for Ginkers as Fiorentina secure a last-minute win to help them climb off the bottom of the Serie A table... while at the top, Napoli, Inter and Milan all win. Not so great for Roma and Juve though... Plus, we have a look at Serie B even in the absence of any games. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
An early Christmas present for one half of the pod as Fiorentina grab their first win of the season with a thumping win over Udinese (aided by a red card). Plus, Juve beat Roma, we discuss whether anyone cares about the Super Cup, and Venezia win another top of the table clash in Serie B. Buon Natale everyone! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Uh oh... Just as we said last week things could only get better for Fiorentina, in true Rigore fashion, we proved to be wrong again. A damaging defeat against Verona has left Ginkers a broken man - very much in contrast to Marco, who watched Venezia dominate Serie B league leaders Monza. Plus, we chat about some other games as well... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Hard for one half of the pod to record this episode as Fiorentina sink to a new low - are they doomed? Elsewhere, Napoli beat Juve, Inter hammer Como and down in Serie B Venezia are frustrated by Avellino... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Was it a penalty? Was it a farce? We discuss the end of the Milan-Lazio game, and also look at how the other top teams got on this weekend. Plus, Fiorentina aren't improving, while Venezia are - could the Rigore! Apocalypse occur and see roles reversed next season? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A return to league action was a relief after Italy's poor showing, which we analyse in painful detail. Plus, the Venetian derby is Arancioneroverdi, while Fiorentina just about climb off the bottom of the table. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
An old Venezia favourite was installed as Fiorentina's new manager, but he couldn't guide them to victory against Genoa, while Inter and Roma climbed to the top of the table. Plus, Conte's second season struggles and Milan's Allegriball cost Napoli and the Rossoneri. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's what people want - two miserable hosts as Fiorentina and Venezia both lose. But not all misery is the same - as Fiorentina get off to their worst start ever, we ask: Where did it all go wrong? Plus, we try to look at some other games, including Venezia's defeat (but Giancarlo makes sure it all comes back to Fiorentina...) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Late goals made one half of the pod smile and another fall crestfallen to the ground as Fiorentina stage an unlikely comeback while Venezia fell to defeat to Carrarese. Plus, we discuss VAR (of course!) and a hot-off-the-press sacking at Juve! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Giancarlo is not a happy man as he rages at a VAR gift to Milan that saw them beat the Viola to go top. Elsewhere, it was a weekend of few goals, but all of it makes for a very tight race at the top. Meanwhile, Venezia couldn't take advantage of a Palermo-Modena draw to close on the summit in B. Plus, we look back at Italy's wins in the World Cup qualifiers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Good news and bad news for the pod this week as Venezia sweep aside league leaders Frosinone in convincing fashion, while in Serie A, Fiorentina continue their poor start to the season. Plus, Juve and Milan share a point, while Inter seem to be getting back to some form. All that and a look ahead to Italy's crucial qualifiers v Estonia and Israel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
As the Rossoneri go top with a victory over Napoli, we celebrate the first ever Rigore! prediction to go right! Plus, Roma looking good, Fiorentina not so much. And Venezia helped by VAR, but are they firing on all cylinders yet? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We discuss the red card fest that is the Rome derby - though they made us wait for it this time. Plus, some dubious VAR decisions, Fiorentina's woes continue, and Marco makes a prediction that no Milan fan will want to hear. Plus, we discuss Venezia's latest setback... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this week's episode, Marco admits to having seen very little of the football this weekend, but that of course doesn't mean he can't offer an opinion as we discuss a sensational Derby d'Italia with Juve edging out Inter 4-3, the first Max Allegri red card of the season at Milan, and a Venezia side that seems to very much be a team of two halves. Plus, we look back at Gattuso's first games in charge and say "nice attack, but what about the defence?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
