10 years of FIFThing is as a club we definitely do not know how to lose. If we don't manage to play our game then everyone gets a cry-baby attitude.

10 years of FIFOf course this idiot deserves a sanction.
I think some heavy fines should be given to players if they are getting red-carded. Or at least when red-carded because of non-professional fouls.

according to gazzetta.it, politano said to the referee: "sei scarso". given that only the two know for sure what was said, "sei" = you are, "scarso" is a very generic term for a person who is very bad at doing what he's doing. it's not a swear word and per se isn't even a proper insult, although for sure it can be considered disrespectful given the circumstances (you are talking to the referee), especially if uttered with an offensive tone of the voice.
gazzetta considers the red card a bit "harsh".

Most Humorous MemberWas watching the match with my friend. When Politano went to take corners, free kicks and crosses, I pointed at the screen, at the exact player standing at the near post and said "the ball will be cleared by this guy right here" and I was correct every time. That said, I don't give a fuck about his sending off tbh or the fact that we now have to either play with Candreva, or in some 352 bullshit.
I've been one of Politano's biggest critics from the beginning but I never doubted that we should make his transfer permanent - largely because the chances of us landing a high level winger seem low, and also because he (usually) plays in a way which seems 'correct' to me, barring his final balls. But the more I watch him (and it has nothing to do with last nights abomination against Torino or the sending off) the more I start to think that we even shouldn't redeem him and instead take that punt elsewhere.
It's the age-old "I can do it at home, I can do it in training, but I can never do it when people are watching" thing that affects the Sunday league players but shouldn't effect professionals. The fact that his deliveries are so consistently and predictably abysmal (not just average, but fucking garbage) has always screamed to me of a severe and inherent limitation in the player.

Transfer GuruI have been pretty vocal about my opposition to Inter signing Politano last summer. We needed to get someone who is a level better than Candreva or at least someone who can become that. Politano was never that guy, at best a decent bench option at the end state Inter we are aiming to build. And he has done nothing over the last 6 months to convince me otherwise, if anything his end product is worse than I thought. He is 25, and unlikely to get much better.
Perhaps we can do better than drop another 20m to buy Politano this summer. Instead use that money as part of the payment to buy someone better like Chiesa. Karamoh can be back up LW, or some other cheap buy. We are not at a stage where we should be spending 20m on bench players when we need to focus our money to buy some key starting XI players.

Send his ass back he’s been average as fuck and still doesn’t know how to cross. He needs to fuck off so someone with some promise and talent can take his place. Hell I’d even take weak ass Chiesa at least he will have resale value. This kids market is only in mid table Italian football.

Nostradamus
Most Passionate MemberI was honestly saying the same thing about the referee. He was fucking bad. And that foul in a dangerous spot for us that he refused to give Politano was yet anohter terrible decision of his going against us which understandably irritated Politano.
Locker room probably is not in a great mood, but it's not the reason for Politano's reaction. Being part of a team that's not allowed to win by the system all of the sudden can cause these reactions.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFPolitano dived just like he did in another game that cause a player a red, the ref was bad though and i doubt he said anything that was a red. I was surprised there were no protests on the decision as well.

Best Overall PosterPolitano received a two-match suspension for his red card. He's going to miss Bologna and Parma. We better hope Keita is fit for Bologna else we're screwed.

10 years of FIFIts fine for me that Politano is not starting for a while.
But if you take Politano's red card and Juve's penalty against Lazio there is no way those incidents have happened vice versa.
Extremely soft penalty and straigh red from diving.
