Torino (H) 2nd leg build up thread

[SSB]

It is embarrassing. I didn’t have one away game last season where I didn’t have a pint and a chat with home fans without any bother.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They're not rude "grammatically" speaking but they do feel rather rude

It would have been so much easier to write a sign that said “Apologies Torino fans - this establishment is designated for home fans only. The pubs available for Torino fans are marked on the City map below and are within easy walking distance”

The tone of the sign is little short of a disgrace.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Don’t take it personal, West Midlands police are awful and really haven’t got clue how to police football matches are football fans.

I think we are about the only city in the country that doesn’t allow away fans in pubs.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

It really is embarrassing to teams from england, but European teams, this is down right disgusting, we are being as rude as can be.

We as a town should be celebrating this and welcoming them with open arms, not rolling down the shutters

When Leicester were in the Champions League a couple of years ago they set up a fans zone in the city to welcome visitors from Europe. I'd say that would be what the council should be looking at doing.

Nah, it's fine, I dont think people take it personally. They certainly understand that it's not the team that asks for this kind of measures. You should come and see a Torino-Fiorentina game, two fanbases that share a spectacular friensdhip that goes back decades- the authorities still send the police...

Has something happened to the Torino players? Wolves shortening quite dramatically in the betting.

Ansaldi is out injured, Nkoulou rebelled and wants a transfer, so he didnt travel with the team. Maybe that's why.

Seems quite similar compared to this morning on Betfair exchange. To qualify has drifted from 9-1 to 10's

Dreadful from the local pubs,apparently the police had been round issuing instructions earlier this week.

Regardless, Im sure after 90 minutes of listening to a bloke shouting through a megaphone with his back to the match we might be less sympathetic.

Theo - who will your left back be this evening? I'd quite like to have a bet on him to get a yellow card if Traore starts

Ola Aina I'd imagine.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Ola Aina I'd imagine.

Was he the guy who played for Hull at the beginning of the Champ winning season? Thought he was quite good that night

 

[Theo1976]

Bremer or Bonifazi. I think Bremer will start at the center so it's probably Bonifazi.

Edit:Aina is mostly playing as a left midfielder, not exactly a full back.

 

[playtheace]

Couple of changes then, still no start for Patrick.

 

[Tony Towner]

He's going to burn Moutinho out

 

[Tredman]

Loads of Torino fans milling around outside the ground, seem nice guys. Bit of a worrying like for the half and half scarves.

 

[AndyWolves]

He's going to burn Moutinho out

I was thinking this too.

Hope he doesn't play much past 50 minutes. MGW or Neves to come on

 

[The Weasel]

Oh dear, what can i say...

 

[Kelifer84]

Half and half scarf wanker....
