Great place for team discussion/whatever Serie A related topics you would like to bring up. Examples: Transfers, rumors, players from other teams, things you miss about the old days etc. Whatever you want as long as it isn't too off-topic.

u/milan_obsession Dopo Istanbul c'è Atene 5d ago
I am still hyperfocused on the issue with the Curva Sud, and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, a known Milan fan, keeps speaking up about it:
"I'd like all the fans, non-violent ones of course, to be able to cheer again. San Siro without the stands isn't San Siro. Keeping criminals, drug dealers, and hooligans out of stadiums for life, yes, but not allowing a flag, a scarf, a drum, or microphones for chants into the stadium, no.
AC Milan at home without its fans isn't AC Milan, just like Inter and the other teams. I hope the clubs have the will to kick out the violent ones, but without losing the most fervent and colorful support. Many come to San Siro to hear the chants, also because that year there wasn't much to see on the pitch; what was more interesting was what was seen off the pitch."
The irony of this statement being that he was notoriously photographed a few years back as clearly being well-acquainted with Luca Lucci, the former leader of the Curva Sud and the worst-of-the worst of the "criminals, drug dealers, and hooligans."
