After the bad news of Italy, it's slightly better news for the pod as Fiorentina just about beat Verona to take a huge stride to safety, while Inter resume winning ways with a thumping win over Roma. Down in Serie B, it is still tight at the top, but with only 5/6 games to go, anything could still happen...Plus, we talk about the latest Italy updates after our emergency pod last week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Yes, we know. We said we don't record episodes about the Azzurri. But Marco needed to rant, and we all know everyone loves to hear us being miserable. So this should be a gold mine for you!#GravinaOut #GattusoOut Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Good draws for Fiorentina and Venezia that consolidate their respective positions, while Inter seem to be stumbling toward the finish line. But the real discussion is around Italy's World Cup playoff games - can they do it? Did Gattuso make the right selections? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A weekend of poor goalkeeping and controversial refereeing decisions - but Fiorentina grab a vital (and emphatic) win against Cremonese that puts them a good way towards safety. Down in B, Venezia are held to a draw by Samp, allowing Monza to close in on top spot with a game between the two next weekend... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1Milan beat Inter to make it 7 games v their rivals without defeat - is Allegri's approach working? Meanwhile, De Rossi beats Roma, but refuses to celebrate, while down at the bottom, things are looking dicey for Fiorentina once again. Meanwhile, Venezia are soaring in Serie B, with two confident wins sending them three points clear. Can they stay ahead until the big game v Monza in a couple of weeks? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After a tough European week for Serie A, we enjoy a cracker of a Sunday night game between Roma and Juve, wonder who will end up in the Champions League spots (does it matter??) and praise a fine performance from Sassuolo. Plus, Venezia eke out a tough draw, but others around them fail to take advantage. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Are Inter already champions in all but name? After the results this weekend, it certainly looks like it... Meanwhile, Fiorentina grab a hard-fought but vital win to climb out of the relegation zone, while Venezia win a topsy-turvy game against bottom-of-the-table Pescara. Plus, we try to work out why Italian teams have fared so badly in Europe this season... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
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.

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.
