What the hell went on in Serie A?

Serie A sides Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina have been demoted to the second division for their involvement in Italy's match-fixing scandal.
Juventus were also stripped of their last two Serie A titles and had 30 points deducted, meaning they are likely to stay down for two seasons.

AC Milan will stay in Serie A but will start the season docked 15 points.

All are barred from playing in Europe - Juventus, Milan and Fiorentina in the Champions League; Lazio the Uefa Cup.

Lazio were penalised seven league points while Fiorentina suffered a 12-point penalty.

Inter, Roma, Chievo and Palermo, who finished third, fifth, seventh and eighth, are in line to take the places of the penalised clubs in next season's Champions League.

they have just hurt their own league!!
what a stupid thing to do..
even if they are guilty..

Relegating teams to Serie B is only gonna make confusing and hurt the league.. and why the HELL isnt MILAN relegated too then!!
berlusconi you Wanker!! he must of had something to do with milan staying.. if Agnelli was alive juve wouldnt of gone down either!!

THIS IS BULLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

serie B games are gonna have more fans this season than ever before!!

LAZIO, JUVENTUS!! hahahahha well wonder who wins the second division this season hahahaha

FORZA JUVENTUS!!!
be great to see a torino VS Juventus game!!

Ouch.

Juve will have a hard time trying to maintain their talent pool.I guess every coach in Europe will be on a plane to Turin.Christmas comes early this year.2 or 3 years before they return to Serie A.

Only a 15 point deduction for AC.A little unusual.When the scandal broke Burlesconi was up in arms demanding the 2005 and 2006 championships saying he was sick of the injustice.He kept quiet pretty soon after that remark though.

I wonder how things will change on appeal.

[itaewonguy]

yep its already started!!

buffon said he is not interested in playing in the serie B he is wanted by arsenal but he wants to remain in SERIE A he is thinking a move to AC MILAN!

PIRLO might move to Real madrid along with you guessed it
CANNAVARRO.. 45million not sure if its pounds or EURO but thats some nice coin for a transfer to REAL!
man that team is gonna be looking GOOD!! maybe they can win some games this season hahaahah
VIERA also said he will not stay at JUVE and zambrotta is leaving too!!
DEL piero Im not sure..
MAN!! this is CRAZY!! all the players are jumping ship.. JUVE is in big trouble for a few years..

It was a great move. You fight corruption by stomping it out in a big way. This will show other teams that cheating will not be tolkerated. Pretty much 3 teams have just been given a major kick to the balls, and will have a tough time of climbing out of Seria B when their major talent dives, er I mean jumps ship. I dont blame the divers, er, players for wanting to dive, er, I mean jump from a sinking platform, er, I mean springboard, er, I mean ship.

[khyber]

good on em I say.
Beetch about punishment?
B.S.
Beetch about the crime.
