Refrees always are on Juve side. They give yellow cards and red cards mostly to competitor team. Juve took many many unfair pelanties and fauls. Thier players usually play USA Soccer against other team, but there is no red cards against them like Emerson.Why Why Why???!!!!!!!!

Because they bribe the referees. I thought everyone knew that.

It's a cruel world full of sadness.

Why big team like Intermilan and Ac Milan are still buying well-known, famous starrs? They should instead spend thier money on buying refrees!

What do you mean by USA soccer? And yes, Juve have always seem to had the referees in their pockets.

Grande Peter, grande!

USA soccer? Maybe PI means American Football, or Grid Iron, why is it called Gird Iron? This Peter guy's a ledg!

Isn't it to do with the iron muzzles on the front of the helmets, fashioned in to the shape of a grid?

I'm sure one of our Yank bredrin (that would be Duncan then) can let us know?

hmm
I think its to do with the lines on the pitch, making up to look like a grid

I think you're right floaty, it is to do with the lines on the pitch.

But where does the "iron" come into this description? I'd back Mezz up on this - at least his mentions grid and iron.

I live in the States, and I can definitely confirm that gridiron is the field. It's called that because with all the lines it looks like a kind a metal structure that is also called a gridiron when viewed from above.

I agree with the initial post, by the way. I saw some interesting statistics from last year, that said the ratio between fouls and yellow cards was much lower for Juve then any other side. Plus, they never get penalties against them!

By lower ratio, I mean higher, by the way. You get what I mean. They foul a lot and get away with it alot.

Logically speaking wouldn't the team that attacks the most and has the most possession end up getting fouled more?

Plus wouldn't that also make good reason as to why they'd get more penalties awarded to them and less against them than a team that spends most of the match pinned back in their own half?

Maybe if supporters of Inter got on the backs of their own team for not performing rather than blaming other teams like Juve and Milan, perhaps Inter might actually win something!!!

I disagree with you. Juve defends most of time and thier efforts are not that good to win all these matches. Mostly thier goals from unfair fouls and penalties

thanks guys and the truth will win one day

Myles, I don't understand what you are saying.

The ratio I was talking about was between fouls and yellow cards, so how many fouls are called for one team compared to the other doesn't matter. I'm saying that referees seem less apt to card Juve players (which I think is true, unfortunately, for a lot of the bigger name players in any league) than smaller sides.

I'm not saying that only Juve benefit. Nesta never gets penalties called against him. Juve just benefit more because they're the ones that play the ugly football with all the hacking...

ahha, I wondered what it was all about, "grid iron" always seems a big fuss to me, why do they have such massive squads? It looks like there's about 50 people on the sidelines, and I'm sorry but all that padding? What's all that about? I used to have a game on one of the nintendos, John Madden 93 or something, I just remember he kept saying "innerception!" all the time

American 'football' is just fat blokes running into each other.

Where or how did you work that out? Nesta got fouled by Martins and a penalty was awarded against him just recently.

Back in the 80's when American Football was quite big in the UK, American teams would come over for a pre-season match at Wembley. One year, they were invited to train with a rugby team, but refused because they couldn't wear their helmets and padding, poor flowers!
