Inter - Torino (9 Mar 14)

[Nyall]

Jeer after the match - this is what WM requested and it seems simple enough to me. Unless...

Mazzari has to earn the right to start telling us fans what to do.

Not sure if this is directed at me, but no, I'm not "pleased" with the current situation at Inter. But this conversation was never about whether we are pleased or not with the current state of the club (you really love to change the topic of conversation as it suits you, btw).

The fans are booing because of their displeasure.

The conversation is about respect for Inter and whether tifosi jeering their own team is in the best interest of the club.

It's their money, their choice. If that's the only way they feel they can bring about change, then jeer on. It's either that or they stop showing up, and that would hurt our team and our management more than the bos ever will.

Personally, I'm not sure there is any level frustration that would lead me to boo my own team's player or coach (in any sport) while he is being introduced, or when he touches the ball. This will surely hurt the team's performance, and I am simply not the type of fan who will bite off his own nose to spite his face.

Like I said before, not everyone is like you. That doesn't make you better or them worse. Collectively these fans spend millions of dollars and pay these players' paychecks. They don't get discounts or refunds on their tickets when our players perform as bad as they have.

This is not an excuse. If the tifosi actually care about results, they should wait until after the final whistle and then boo all they want. If they have some other agenda (like getting Mazzarri sacked or Kuzmanovic benched), then whistle during the match and try to sabotage results, but to me this is not the behavior of a real fan.

You need to stop trying to make yourself out to be some kind of ideal fan that every fan should be modelled after, you're not. Not everyone is going to be like you, but I can assure we all have the same goal, we all want to see Inter win. We just do not believe that every way that Inter tries to do so is right, And we won't blindly endorse it just cuz it's our club.

Maybe that's what this conversation is really about. Some people (you?) actually want to see Inter suffer right now, and frankly that type of attitude disgusts me.

Stop right there. You do not want to venture on this path at all.

No, I'm not an ideal fan. I just think the team and its players deserve a certain amount of respect. I feel the same way when I hear the curva jeer Guarin when he's on the ball as I did when I saw Balotelli throw his shirt on the ground. One person (or even a large group)'s opinion or feelings should never be bigger than the club itself. Everything has its place and order, and that should be respected IMO.

I think you overstate the financial aspect. Ticket sales are such a small portion of the club's revenue and I really don't think the same fans who are jeering are guying a brand new kit each season (just a hunch). For every ignorant tifoso that jeers Kuz or makes monkey noises at Pogba, there's someone in Canada or Asia who would be happy to take his place, without the excess baggage. We don't "need" every single overly negative fan to be a great club, IMO. This is more and more true each day, with the global market so accessible. The tifosi will always be an important part of our culture and history, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't evolve.

Fair enough about the last point. I don't question your loyalty or commitment, but I definitely disagree with the way you express your opinions about the club.

I really think we'll see an improved atmosphere this weekend after a few encouraging performances, though.

 

[Mortimer]

It's a conundrum ... how to support the players but show dissatisfaction with Mazzarri. There is no easy answer unless somebody wants to publish WM's and Thohir's cell phone numbers. :rollani:

 

[Wallace]

You're supposed to annihilate any negative feeling you have towards the club, regardless whether it is towards Thohir, Mazzarri, or their toilet cleaner.

Just wake up everyday, sing your prayers for Mazzarri and worship him.

That, is how you fans should behave.

That first game against Toro this season was the most heartbreaking game of the season for me: Handa was sent off after 5 minutes, Torino went in the lead twice & the game seemed pretty lost. Then we epicly managed to turn shit around & go in the lead 3-2, only for Toro to equalize at 90' 3-3.

Broke my heart big time. That game was epic. Hope for a good ass win this time.

 

[Native]

No player who grabs thousands upon thousands of euros a week but doesn't even care to TRY and perform well will ever get respect from this one.

That's 80% - 90% of our team I'm talking about.

Yea I remember. Wallace fouled a Torino guy. Then that kid (the one from Bari which we were linked to, was his name Bellomo or something?) kicked the ball long and Carizo weirdly couldn't catch it. That was 2 points right there!

I decided to go for the classic, with Inter's birthday coming up.

Thank you Verathia..


Forza Internazionale Milano FC

More important was he momentum shift, it went from being potentially are best victory of the season, to wow we just can never catch a break fuck this shit. Than we went into really poor form.

 

[francesco]

Yeah
Thanks to wallace, the worst transfer deal this season

 

[Rasha]

i think worse than that is buying all this kids and giving them cock to suck on the bench

 

[Jerry]

With Juan and Samuel suspended, who do we start at the back?

Frog for sure. I don't know about Andreolli being used in a three man defense though... maybe JZ / Campa if he's recovered...
I'm thinking Mazzarri will be forced to change formation for this game. We might see 4 at the back. Maybe 4-5-1 or 4-1-3-1-1

 

[Universe]

? No chance in hell of a a 4 man defense. It'll be Rolando, Ranocchia, Campagnaro in some order.

 

[Rasha]

Uni is that chomo some gay thing or what ?

 

[Fitzy]

He has been forced to change formation many times this season and hasn't.

 

[The777]

Off topic a bit:

Our players can make a "oscar selfie" photo at the beginning of Torino game other than the classical starting 11 photo. It can be a good marketing material.

edit: Turkish national team already did one.

Apparently it's prison slang for 'child molester'. An unfair and hurtful accusation, severely damaging to my exemplary reputation and outstanding character, by one of the admins here, possibly of Greek heritage.
