((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

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...

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...

How Not To Keep Your Head Coaching Gig
And, for that, we go to Italian soccer and Fiorentina...
Evidence below...
Context:
Fiorentina coach Delio Rossi punched Adem Ljajic during their Serie A match with Novara. Down 2-0, Rossi wanted to substitute Ljajic- who then sarcastically applauded his coach's decision...
Rossi, apparently, does not like sarcasm on game day.
He didn't last the day even as his squad is trying to survive relegation...

This Is What Happens When Your Fans Are Pissed...
((HT: SkySports24/youtube/Deadspin))
Let's go to Italy... or "Ih-uh-lee" as everyone's bestest buddy and big toe, Sgt. Hulka pronounced it...
Siena and Genoa were playing in a Serie A game... or, at least, Siena was...
In the 80th minute, Genoa's fanatic "ultras" demanded the players hand over their jerseys since they were a disgrace to the team that has been in existence since the mid-19th century...
They even went as far as blocking the player's entrance/exit until they complied.
And, yes, the analysis is in native tongue...
The game was delayed for almost a half-hour as most of the home team complied with the demand and, then, the ultras allowed them to have them back to complete the game.
Genoa actually scored in the final ten minutes, but Siena won 4-1. They're 11 points ahead of next-to-last in 17th place...
