    In Italy, they have some kind of manager school, I saw a TV documentary on it a long time back. It is obviously not the answer to everything, but it helps ex players avoid many of the pitfall that you have descried above.

    I didn't say all, I said most great players as there are always exceptions.

    Lazio players will wear a picture of Anne Frank on their shirts in their cup game tonight.

    This whole thing kicked off when Lazio ultra fans were made to sit in the Roma stand when theirs was closed( this is what happens when you share a ground )

    Also , before the next games , passages will be read from the diary over the tannoy system before kick off.

    And finally, Lazio fans are going to be taken on a tour of Auschwitz.

    I'd devise a cunning tactic whereby I made sure my players gave the ball to guy with 600 goals.

    Some Juventus fans turned their backs and sang the Italian national anthem during a minute's silence to remember the Holocaust before the Serie A game against SPAL.

    Desperately depressing. If we somehow avoid destroying this planet, I hope that the next inhabitants are less despicable and dangerous than the human race.

    It's enough to make you weep.
    It ain't ok to be that much of a **** and then claim it's your democratic right to behave like that. You can't jail people for ignoring a minutes silence to pay respect to the victims of the Holocaust but you can punish the ****ers in another way. If that were Spurs fans I would support us being made to play games behind closed doors. Juventus should be made to play the rest of their home matches for 2017 behind closed doors and be given no away tickets for the same period.
    I know some things are down to people needing to be educated but this ain't one of them. They are souless ****s and I hate that they get to watch the game I love at one of the great European clubs while acting so ****ishly

    I don't think that we will destroy the planet, although we will probably make it unfit for habitation by about 90% of species that currently live here, particularly mammals and reptiles. However, this planet is quite resilient, if one looks at it from a geological perspective, at one stage there was an atmosphere of over 90% CO2 and surface temperatures hot enough to dry the oceans and that did not destroy it. Providing a few plant species survive, evolution would kick off again.

    We weren't the first dominant species on this rock. I sincerely hope that we won't be the last. Something will supercede us if, as deedub says, some plant life survives. At this point in history, the human race is a blight on this planet.

    I remember Monty and his lads beating up these Italian Nazis. Won't they ever learn?

    Mad start to the game. Billy Sharp puts Sheffield United ahead. Carter-Vickers, then kicks the ball with his standing leg when trying to clear and then his swinging leg clatters the Leeds player just outside the box. Somehow the ref gives it as a freekick to Sheff though, awful decision.

    Playing for Leeds is a greater foul than being clattered outside the box.
