It’s great watching Roma fans leave the Olimpico after a defeat or draw - I often feel they leave faster than rats leaving the Titanic! #Romamerda

Yesterday #Atalanta’s comeback against Dortmund was very impressive - and #Juventus nearly managed to turn around their game as well. I fully expect #Fiorentina to go through comfortably but all eyes are on #Bologna. Will be interesting to see if they can hold onto their slim lead.

Groundhopping in Italy 🇮🇹⚽ Not just matches — but ultras, medieval towns, flares, regional rivalries & stadiums full of history. From San Siro to Serie D terraces with 500 fans. Which Italian ground should every fan visit? tibsnews.co.uk/calcio-amore/g…#Groundhoppingn#Calcioio

Was it inside the box? Lazio’s red card incident in Cagliari raises serious VAR questions. Free kick given — but it looked like a penalty to me. Next: Torino away. Big week ahead. 🔵⚪ #Lazio #SerieA #VAR www.tibsnews.co.uk/calcio-amore...

From a Valentine’s night vs Bayern to 8,585 inside the Olimpico. The boycott continues, but Lazio showed resilience against Palladino’s resurgent Atalanta. Hope ahead of the Coppa Italia semi-final? Next: Cagliari & Torino #Lazio #SerieA www.tibsnews.co.uk/calcio-amore...

Juventus 2-2 Lazio. A big point in Turin — but it felt like two lost. No away fans. Late Juve equaliser. Referee controversy (this time frustrating the Bianconeri). And the Ultras had already chosen not to travel. www.tibsnews.co.uk/calcio-amore... #Lazio #Juventus #SerieA

Another long night at the Olimpico. An early goal killed Lazio vs Como almost instantly. The Curva is still backing Sarri — but optimism is fading fast. 🦅⚪️🔵 #Lazio #DomenicaBastardi #CurvaNord www.tibsnews.co.uk/calcio-amore...

While I wasn’t a fan of charging for the Trevi I like this idea - it doesn’t help me but it’s great for Rome’s residents. Maybe Florence could do something similar but not sure what they could start charging for that isn’t already being charged for!

I went for France earlier - mainly as playing Ireland and England at home. After watching the first half France have looked strong. Feel this year is a re-build for Ireland sadly. #SixNations

Game 8 of 38 in the Domenica Bastardi journey ended with Lazio’s 1–0 win over Juventus — Bašić the unexpected hero. But for me, the day took a shocking turn with an emergency call from Florence. 👉 Read the full story on Tibsnews: bit.ly/DBJuvehome #Lazio #Juventus #SerieA
