((HT: Serie A/youtube))
This time it was in the Atalanta-AC Milan match and the target were Milan's Nigel de Jong and Kevin Constant...
No word on if de Jong actually ate the banana like Dani Alves did in la Liga, but this is just amazing stupidity on the fans in the Serie A.
UEFA is more concerned about having teams paying huge fines for Financial Fair Play, but the fines for acts like this are infinitessimal by comparison...
Ridiculous, but not surprising...

Balotelli Jousts With TV Guys After Sub And Loss
((HT: SkySports Italy))
The HQ warns you, the exchange is in Italian...
But the bottom line is that Mario Balotelli wasn't going to take any criticism lightly...
AC Milan lost to Roma 2-0 and the hosts decided that they were going after Balotelli for lack of movement and pressed on his exchange with manager Clarence Seedorf when he was taken off in the 69th minute...
The translation from the Canadian Press:
Balotelli said: "When Milan wins Mario is great, when it loses Mario is bad."
Told by one studio host that he doesn't move enough on the pitch, Balotelli responded: "You don't know anything about football. Trust me."
Balotelli even took to his 2.5-million Twitter followers to talk about it:
"Mamma mia divido l Italia in 2! Però! Mentre quasi tutto l Estero è unito con me! What a strange game:-)"
("Mamma mia I divide Italy in 2! Wow! While nearly everyone abroad is united with me!")
Nothing changes with enigmas, does it...???

Balotelli Victim Of Racist Chants Again...???
((HT: HQ Football 24))
This is getting really tiresome, but the HQ knows short of empty stadia where fans aren't allowed to support their teams and massive fines on the teams that allow their fans to say racist things toward opposing players, that what may have happened AGAIN today in Serie A will just keep happening...
It's been a long year for AC Milan and their game against Napoli wasn't doing them any favors...
Down 2-1 with 15 minutes left, manager Clarence Seedorf pulled Balotelli- who, it has been reported, was the target of racist chants... this has yet to be substantiated where Seedorf says his tears were that of a sportsman who cares and not Napoli words.
Roma's Ignazio Abate thought the tears were out of disappointment:
“Mario really cares about doing well with Milan and making his mark. He is sentimental. It’s a shame that he got so downhearted about it, as he needs to keep his head up.”
Here's the shot into the dugout focused on Balotelli- interpret as you wish...
Milan would lose 3-1

Constant Leaves AC Milan Friendly After Racist Chants
AC Milan was playing Sassuolo in a friendly and Guinean-born Kevin Constant had had all he could stands...
And he couldn't stands no more...
More racist taunts came from the stands and Constant was done...
The referee allowed a substitute to come on and also ordered an announcement over the PA warning that the game would be suspended if further incidents occurred.
ACM lost 2-1 to the hosts in the Trofeo TIM tourney.
In January when ACM was playing Pro Patria, Kevin Prince-Boateng also kicked the ball at a Pro Patria fans before walking off the field with the rest of the Milan team.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has announced an immediate inquiry.
"The Federal Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation to ascertain the extent of the racist incident that took place at the Stadio del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia during the Milan-Sassuolo match, which saw AC Milan player Kevin Constant the subject of chants from some supporters in the stands."
But Milan doesn't seem to be all that happy with Constant as they were with Prince-Boateng:
"This was not a decision he should have taken upon himself to make.
"Despite his more than understandable reasons and the anger he must have felt, AC Milan would like to remind everyone that the only people responsible for intervening against any manifestations that offend the human dignity, which includes racial discrimination, are the referee in charge of the match and the head of public safety."
And he couldn't stands no more...

Racist Chants Stop Serie A Match... For A While...
((HT: RAI))
AS Roma and AC Milan were playing a, somewhat, uninspired draw in Serie A Sunday when the referee decided that enough was enough... and it had nothing to do with the play on the pitch.
There's a new rule on the books that says the ref can call a match if he feels that things are out of control, and he can stop play. And allegedly racist taunts were a reason to do it...
Sulley Muntari was sent off for what happened below...
And Totti was sent off for "something" in stoppage time...
Milan will have to wait for the last day of the season to figure out if they're gonna make Champions League or not...

ACM Takes Care Of Barca In Champions
And, no, that's not a misprint...
AC Milan stunned Barcelona 2-0 in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie in the UEFA Champions League.
Kevin-Prince Boateng gave Milan the lead in the 57th minute, but Barcelona wanted to challenge as it looked like Cristian Zapata looked like he could have been called for a hand ball on the Riccardo Montolivo assist.
Sulley Muntari sealed the win with nine minutes to go...
((HT: FoxSoccer/UEFA))
Barcelona only had two shots on goal the entire match...
And, to think, that ACM started out 15th in Serie A after their first 8 matches...
FCB is in trouble and has to go pedal down in the rematch...

AC Milan's Boateng Walks Off Pitch After Racial Slur
That's what AC Milan is saying after what happened below...
((HT: Youtube))
AC Milan is claiming that Boateng did what he did because of the Pro Patria fans that he kicked the ball towards...
The AC Milan website had this as its entry in the 26th minute:
"AC Milan leaves the pitch after racist abuse by a minority of Pro Patria fans at Boateng, Niang, Emanuelson and Muntari. The rest of the fans in the stands disassociated themselves from such racist events."
The Italian Football Association came down hard (and very quickly) on the events and are starting an immediate investigation.
Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri told reporters at: "We are disappointed and saddened by what has happened. Milan play for the right to respect all players. We need to stop these uncivilized gestures."
Allegri also apologized for the team walking off as they did, but they were not going to stand for what went down...
