Atalanta 3 - 2 Livorno ; The Fat Lady is getting Ready to Sing !

By: Marco | May 5th, 2008

Almost Ready !

What a frustrating game !!!

The only reason I’m not extremely pissed off right now is because we’re still mathematically in the running towards being Serie A next non-relegated team. Chances are looking crappy but it’s still a possibility! Ok, i know that we have about the same chances of not going down as Italian Parents have of seeing their 29 year old son moving out of the house, but like Yogi Bear would say : I don’t hear no fat lady singing just yet!

How Low can you go !

We had the chance to witness what happens when Marco Amelia plays like a mere mortal and not a goalie with superpowers. But above all,Fernando Orsi managed in 1 game to remind me why I hated him since the very beginning of the season; Tristan from the start ? Then Rossini ? What the hell ? Diamonds aren’t only a girl’s best friend Nando !!! How about having some balls their Nando ? Diamanti’s on freakin’ fire and you chose to play Tristan,Tavano and Rossini before the Diamond in the rough !? Ma chè Cazzo !

Orsi has managed to pick up…let me see…2 points all year TWO DAMN IT! GC Camolese managed to win 1 game at least ; Hell ! he even beat AC Milan and managed to draw Roma twice! How can you go from conceding 1 goal in Roma, to let 3 goals in against a bored/experimental Atalanta squad ? ( I mean Atalanta doesn’t even have an Offside Blog! How less credible can a club get?) Aldo Spinelli might as well bring back Camolese for the next 2 games, because he looks like he’s doing everything on purpose to see Livorno go down. Aldo ! A team in Serie B is harder to sell than a Serie A squad you yellow raincoat wearing lunatic !

Lowlights, but 20 Euros GRATIS! :

MARCATORI: Doni (A) al 12′ s.t., Ferreira Pinto (A) al 15′ s.t., Rossini (L) al 20′ s.t., Pavan (L) al 38′ s.t., Padoin (A) al 44′ s.t..
ATALANTA (4-4-1-1): Coppola; Rivalta, Talamonti (23′ st Pellegrino), Manfredini, Bellini; Ferreira Pinto, Tissone (32′ st Bonaventura sv), Guarente, Padoin; Doni (16′ st Marconi); Floccari. (Ivan, Belleri, Paolucci, Fissore). All. Del Neri

LIVORNO (3-5-2): Amelia; Grandoni, Pavan, Knezevic; Balleri (22′ st Diamanti), Loviso, Bergvold (12′ st Pulzetti), A. Filippini, Pasquale; Tavano, Tristan (1′ st Rossini). (De Lucia, Filippini, Giannichedda, Melara). All. Orsi.
Arbitro: Tagliavento di Terni.

NOTE: spettatori 6.500. Ammoniti: Pavan, Knezevic, Pasquale e Guarente per gioco falloso, Bellini per fallo di mano. Angoli: 3-2 per il Livorno Recupero: 1′ e 4′

Frustrating! Frustrating! Frustrating!

GC Camolese somehow got the best out of this restrictive (to say the least) roster of players. Unfortunately, Fernando Orsi thinks Tavano and Tristan are the players they once were.

Tavano : It’s so frustrating to see Francesco Tavano suck it hard week in and week out.
I won’t give him more than 23 words.

Bogdani : Where the hell is Bogdani ? I’m checkin’ on Mapquest (ok, google Maps) and I’m only finding

Tristan ; My mourning of Super Depor Diegol Tristan ‘s career ended 2 weeks after his goal against Roma.

Filippini : Both of them, they try so freakin’ hard and they always leave it all on the pitch at the end of each and every game, but they both lack the height, pace and overall talent. These 2 would be gods in Serie B/C but they don’t cut it when it comes to performing in Serie A.

Loviso : Common ! Ex-Italia U-21 my ass !

Rossini : please don’t get me started on this guy! He’s a scrapper I’ll give him that, he gives his all and works hard. But saying he has limited talent is more of an understatement than saying that Dane Cook sucks or Mary-Kate Olsen is talented and thin. This Algonquin looking striker needs to be a 5th option at best !

Grandoni : Good defender, decent player and stupid decision maker.

Pasquale : I’m pissed because this Champions League-experienced-versatile-Inter Homegrown- Back is one of the few players you can have some expectations from. He didn’t deliver all freakin’ season long.

Bergvold, Amelia, Knezevic, Galante, Daniele - Rosso Directo - De Vezze, Pulzetti, Bogdani, Giannichedda and Diamanti are the only players that could be useful to a Serie A team.Thank god we have 2 players going to Euro 2008 because if you round up all of the names on the roster and say them out loud, it sounds a lot like a midtable Serie B team. Come to think of it ….

Forza Ragazzi ! 6 punti porco dio ! 6 punti Cazzo !

    Thanks for the highlights Marco.Another grim result.Bad goalkeeping from Amelia but I’m sure he wasn’t the only one at fault.It will be a miracle if Livorno stay up but fingers crossed,eh?.

    Livorno heavily punished

    Six Livorno players have also received suspensions following the bizarre scenes that took place after their 3-2 defeat to Atalanta at the weekend. The relegation favourites had fought back to level the game at 2-2, before Simone Padoin scored a stoppage time winner.

    The incident caused a group of players to chase Padoin and attack him in the tunnel after the game ended, criticising him for scoring a goal he did not need, due to Atalanta’s position right in the middle of the Serie A table.

    Alessandro Grandoni was the hardest hit, and he faces five matches on the sidelines, while Emanuele Filippini and Giovanni Pasquale were given three and two match suspensions respectively. Three others, including Simone Pavan have received one-match sanctions.

    Watching the last few games (including today’s game versus Torino) it is criminal how often Livorno gets shafted on both sides of the offsides call. I know it is the nature of a fan to see it that way, but a definite pattern is emerging here.

    I gotta agree with Aron these weird offside calls have happened all season long. I’m willing to adhere to any theory right now.

    I’m trying to avoid typing the darn letter B and i’m not part of any gang, except the Amranto Liberation Army of course.

    All i can say right now is : Frustrated, however not surprised

    Forza Ragazzi !
