Summary of the match.
Milan: *do their thing*
Palermo: *avert eyes*
Didn't see the match, but maybe it was better this way, though I recognize it's harder now having to talk about it without seeing it and only reading everywhere about the referee's errors. Remember when I said a draw would already be like a victory? Well, before the 31' of second half it seemed like that was going to happen, but in the end it didn't.
Anyway, you all know what happened, you know what Rossi said afterward and you know what Zamparini said and which consequences we'll have to face in the next few months if the man doesn't come to his senses, if he ever was. *heavy sigh* That said, referee's fault or not, Palermo are stuck with 14 points and the general mood of the team/supporters is not exactly the perfect one in which to built atmosphere for the Sicilian derby.
Milan 3 - 1 Palermo19’ pt A. Pato (M), 18’ st A. Bacinovic (P), 31’ st Z. Ibrahimovic (M), 37’ st Robinho (M).

You asking why it all went wrong?
He was in San Siro.
So, poor Sirigu didn't have an easy day.
He conceded a PK and was carded for a foul the ref saw on Ambrosini, and Zlatan took it.
He saw where the ball Zlatan shot was going, but couldn't stop it anyway.
No photos of out left and right back. One wonders if they even played.
Lots of photos of Munoz, though! Maybe because he failed a lot?
Or probably just because of his bromance with Pato. At first, he tried to ignore him.
With the result that Pato scored and almost nobody tried to stop him. Seriously, look at how EVERYBODY seems busy doing EVERYTHING ELSE but stopping him.
Anyway, they grew closer eventually.
And when Pato hurt himself, as he does, Munoz was there to comfort him.
Robinho scored too, if you want to know. Like, two minutes after coming on the pitch to sub Inzaghi, who hurt himself as he does too.
Lots of Migliaccio photos too.
No idea what he did to deserve this.
Probably because he hang out with Zlatan, a lot.
And when I say "a lot", I really mean it.
Though I guess it's pretty obvious to be surrounded by photogs love when you're around Zlatan.
Look, a photo in which Migliaccio's not with Zlatan!
Noce was mainly around Pato, so he didn't get the love Migliaccio got.
Javi P: ALIVE \O/
But not really effective.
He had some fun pretending to be Kate Winslet.
And he managed to hurt himself too. Perfect!
So he was subbed by Miccolito, who took a FK that caused a clear hand by Boateng.
The ref didn't see it or judged it regular, btw. RAGE.
LOTS of Ilicic photos.
Don't know why. Was he good?
It seems like he actually did something, contrarily to what he did in the last few matches.
My bb was fouled by Abate. RAGE.
He didn't do bad, but he wasn't his recently usual awesome self.
Though he still was a pleasure for the eye.
Delio: SOMEBODY! SCORE!
Bacinovic: Working on it, coach. (NOSES!)
So, once again, Bacinovic did very, very good.
Not only on the goal (a
shot from the distance that didn't seem really irresistible, but I don't mind since it actually went in), but during the whole match too.
He deserves a little joy.
And a little love from his teammates!
And from the world in general. ♥
In less than two hours, Palermo's welcoming Catania at Barbera Stadium, searching for three points they just can't miss right now. Fingers crossed!
