Good podcast gents. I’m a little bitter about the game against Rennes and Atalanta. The penalty was dubious in both games to say the least. The Atlanta player should have been booked for simulation. As for Orsato, he needs to get checked on his attitude. The game is not about him for Christ sake. Booking Leao for looking at him in disgust is more disturbing and it says a lot about him as a referee. He’s more sensitive than an old lady. Sigh. Pioli also should have subbed Loftus Cheek instead of Pulisic. Reijnders would have added more pressure to Atalanta if he came in for RLC and we could have got that 2nd goal especially given the miss chance by RLC. Looking forward to next season but Milan needs a change as I believe Pioli time is coming to an end. Motta maybe? But my dream is Xabi Alonso.

What happend to our Italian DNA? We hardly have any Italian players!!! Look at the top 2 teams in Italy and how many Italian players they have!!

Lol Roazhon is the Breton name for Rennes

[@rudolewis]

What really infuriated me with that penalty is that Holm fell down holding his face and this was not even taken into consideration

[@marcuspierantozzi]

All these years I've been wishing for a VAR.. 😂 what a joke.

[@FamiliaHomesInc.]

Ya simulation should be yellow for him and no friggin pk. I swear soccer with hand ball and this debatable foul calls/rules is such an embarrassment to the greatest sport in the world that already has a reputation for being soft and talentless. Footy world needs to man up and gets its shit together. Stop giving these soft ass pks and handballs, if it’s reckless or dangerous and intentional call it sure. If the guy is able to continue just fine and the player had eyes only on the ball is that even a foul? FFS embarrassing

[@ziontrain7887]

@@FamiliaHomesInc. totally agree. Football is a contact sport yet referees allow these soft players to roll around and get away simulating fools without any punishment even though we have VAR. pathetic to say the least. Smh

[@marcuspierantozzi]

Simulation should be a straight red! And yes players falling down for a soft touch is absolutely bs. It needs to stop!

[@Joormode]

Orsato should be tier 5 ref , biggest juventus fan out there

[@ohimats]

I honestly don't understand Orsato. In international games he is one of the best but here he was soooo bad. He lost the game and was distributing cards like a girlscout giving out cookies. I also feel sorry for refs because honestly... their game isn't really made easy. Rules are f***ed up and the consistency between refs... they don't agree on anything. This is something that needs to be solved.

Another solid episode boys. I don't have Twitter, so I'll ask my question here and hope you guys respond. Do you guys think RLC could bag 12-15 league goals as an out-and-out striker? 100% Agree with Anthony, Orsato is by far the worst ref in Serie A. Makes every match about him.

[@FamiliaHomesInc.]

He has the frame and strength but would lose his powerful explosive runs carrying the ball forward or making those deep runs behind the lines into space if he’s starting up higher on the pitch. I don’t know if he will have the build up play to be a cf . I think he needs to go back to being an 8 to help protect the defence and keep the muscle in the middle of the pitch and not take too much space away from pulisic to express himself . We are getting goals but need to concede less
