i was tagged by @willevince, thanks!!

RULES: answer the 11 questions. Make 11 of your own and tag 11 people!

(okay i’m like halfways through the questions and sto scrivendo la divina commedia so i’ll put this under a cut)

1. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be and why? as shitty as it might sound, i would want my father to be away from me. i don’t want him dead, just away from me.

2. If you were given three wishes, what would you ask for and why? good question. 1, to be in the point of my transition i want to be in now. which means be on testosterone and have had top surgery. might seem like a shallow wish, but other trans people would understand that it’s not just a matter of how you look. dysphoria upsets me greatly and if i could already be transitioning, i would be a happier, healthier person. 2, to live near my boyfriend. not sure if with my boyfriend, maybe we’re both not ready for that, but at least like... not live on opposite parts of the world. because as much as i believe in long distance relationship and our relationship is great, it’d be so much better if i could be physically near him whenever we both want and need to be. 3, for all my mental health issues to be... not gonna say cured because i’m not sure i want that. i just want my mental illnesses under control. i want to not be so affected by them. i want to be sure i won’t end up in the hospital with tubes in my stomach or whatever again after a moment of weakness (or courage, honestly not sure), you know.

3. Imagine you found out the world is gonna end in one hour, what would be the last things you do? realistically speaking, i would probably just be really quiet, hug my cat if i were able to do that and do whatever the people around me told me to do. i’m not good with endings, i don’t know what to do when i have to say goodbye, i would just suck at like... doing what i would want to do, because i wouldn’t know what that’d be.

4. What is the one artist/band/actor/whatever that touched you the most/changed your life? How did they do it? honestly, this is a hard question to answer, because i have to pick just one. i’ve had various people be that one person (or people, whatever) in different times in my life. pippo inzaghi, marco mengoni, fernando torres, doors, heath ledger, muse, petrarca (shut up i know i’m lame), twenty one pilots... a lot. i’ve kinda always needed someone to be my reason to go on, my reason to be strong, all that. BUT okay i need to answer the question. i can’t pick one though because it’s 2 people and they both changed my life. so, first: steven gerrard. he honestly was, is and always will be my hero. i’ve been a liverpool fan for 10 years and although the very first reason why i started watching lfc games wasn’t stevie (that’s how i call him, that’s how we fans call him so i’ll call him that from now on), he was a huge factor in why i stayed with this club. and believe me, i stayed through really tough times. now, you might think, what could a football player possibly do to change your life so much that he ends up being in this answer? the thing is, it’s not one thing stevie did, it’s just the way he is. the person he is. because that’s what is most important about him to me, although he also is my favorite football player ever, it’s him as a human being. he wasn’t afraid of showing his weaknesses, but at the same time, being a leader of his team, of being strong for himself and for others. he was always the one to metterci la faccia (idk how to translate, the one who stands up for something?). he deals (or dealt, mostly, i think) with anxiety and it was known among fans of english football, journalists, everyone, he seeked help for his mental health issues. that meant so much to me especially some years ago when i first heard about this, because i myself struggled (i still do) a lot but couldn’t talk about it with anyone. now i’m gonna tell you about a really personal thing, also trigger warning for self harm ahead, but i think it really shows how much stevie has helped me. so, i’ve struggled with self harm for 5 years now. but the first time i wanted to hurt myself was more than 5 years ago. i was laying in my bed and i just couldn’t stop thinking about it, i couldn’t move, i couldn’t cry, anything. then i looked up at my wall and saw a picture of steven gerrard that i had there. i still couldn’t move or do anything, but i remember i was like, no, no, no. don’t do it. he wouldn’t want you to. after a bit it was my cat who came to me and managed to make me come out of that state completely, i hugged her and felt better. after that, thinking about him has saved me from hurting myself countless times. i did eventually, as i said, give in. but still, even now, he helps with not relapsing sometimes. he’s just so important to me, i want to write a million things but i already wrote too much. sorry about that. and since i already wrote too much, i won’t talk about the second person, i mean you all know how much he means to me and if you wanna know more, shoot me an ask. it’s ermal meta obviously. seriously, if i start talking about him i will never shut up. so i’ll save you all from it.

5. Imagine you were given the power to rule over your country singlehandedly, what would you change first and why? god do you know how fucked up italy is, how am i supposed to choose, what the fuck. i think i would simply put in positions of power people who actually care about the citizens and actually know what they’re doing, because i’m not the right person to rule over a country. but also first i would just finally fucking give lgbt+ people fucking equal rights because come the fuck on we EXIST

6. Do you think it’s more important to love or to be loved? Why? i think in a healthy relationship of any kind, you need to have both. you need to love and be loved. but i think that when you’re growing up, when you’re a kid, it’s more important to be loved. especially by your parents or guardians. because if those people don’t love you, it’s gonna fuck you up long term.

7. If you could have one and any super power (mind reading, flying, teleporting, laser beams shooting out of your eyes…) which would you choose and why? turning invisible because i wouldn’t have to worry about how other people see me and my body, i could take a bus without my mind screaming at me “see, no one here sees you as a man so you’re clearly Not Trans Enough” and shit like that. also i could probably sneak into some places like concerts... but i would feel too guilty to do that honestly dfjsjk

8. What is your favorite movie and why? What does it mean to you? i don’t think i have one DEFINITIVE favorite movie, but right now it’s moonlight. because it tells an important story and it tells it in a brilliant way, with amazing cinematography and acting. it’s not really about me because i’m white and the characters being black is a core part of the movie, but i’m a gay man and it means a lot to me to see stories about gay people. (and black gay people need stories like this one)

9. Imagine for one night everything is legal (woo, Purge!), what would you do, if anything? Why? i would vandalize salvini’s house with the gayest shit i could think of i would do more serious damage to him because he deserves the worst but i’m not a violent person like i literally would not be able to and i would do the same to fontana’s house and every single homophobic, racist, fascist piece of shit in this fucking country. why? i mean, do i need to explain?

10. What do you desire the most and why? freedom. freedom from my father, freedom to be myself, freedom from my “demons”. just freedom. because i’ve felt trapped for as long as i can remember and for as long as i can remember when i thought about what i wanted all i could think of was ‘to be free’. i’ve tried to be free in ways that were just bad for myself. but i’m still not free. perché la libertà è sacra come il pane.

11. Is there anything you need to get off your chest right now? ... don’t get me started. i feel like no one cares about me and how i feel, to sum it up

Subs, coaches seeing red as refs hear all in empty stadiums | Football News

New Post has been published on https://jordarnews.in/subs-coaches-seeing-red-as-refs-hear-all-in-empty-stadiums-football-news/

Subs, coaches seeing red as refs hear all in empty stadiums | Football News

ROME: Tommaso Berni, Inter Milan’s third-choice goalkeeper who hasn’t played in six seasons with the club, was sent off the bench for dissent during Sunday’s game at Parma. Only two full rounds into the Italian league’s restart, four coaches have also been punished for protests: Gian Piero Gasperini (Atalanta), Antonio Conte (Inter), Simone Inzaghi (Lazio) and Giuseppe Iachini (Fiorentina). Others booked or sent off include an assistant coach for Juventus and the sporting directors of Cagliari and Brescia. In stadiums free of fan noise, Serie A’s referees have been targeting a wide array of bench members with disciplinary action. “I’m sorry. It hadn’t happened in 2 years,” Inzaghi said after invading the pitch during the frenetic finish of Lazio’s 2-1 win over Fiorentina on Saturday. “I was trying to help the referee because there was a bit of chaos, but I wasn’t disrespectful. I just entered the field.” But when referee Luca Banti sent Inzaghi off, the coach responded, “No, no. I won’t go.” Inzaghi later explained, “I didn’t understand that I had been sent off.” With stadiums empty of fans due to the coronavirus pandemic, TV cameras and microphones have been picking up nearly everything that players, coaches and bench members are saying. Even when the benches have been moved to the first few rows of the stands, as in Parma when Berni was singled out by the referee during the second half, officials can still hear everything. It was the second time this season that Berni was sent off from the bench, and this time, at least, it seemed to motivate his team. Inter promptly scored twice to erase an early deficit and produced a 2-1 comeback win. Plenty of players on the field are also seeing red cards. Moments after Berni’s outburst, Parma was reduced to 10 men when midfielder Juraj Kucka was sent off for protests. Kucka then became even angrier and had to be dragged down into the tunnel by club officials. Fiorentina, which has been at odds with the referees in both of its matches since the restart, had defender Martin Caceres and coach Iachini both punished for profanity during a 1-1 draw with Brescia. After Fiorentina’s loss to Lazio, which included a controversial penalty awarded to the Roman club, club president Rocco Commisso suggested that teams should be able to appeal decisions to the VAR. “I wouldn’t have anything against it,” said Nicola Rizzoli, Serie A’s refereeing director. “But we’ve got to remember that we’re part of a worldwide game. The rules need to be the same in Italy and abroad. At the moment this isn’t being discussed at the international level. “Maybe it should be tried but we can’t make sudden, personalized decisions,” Rizzoli added. BEST IN THE WORLD AC Milan technical director Paolo Maldini offered a strong suggestion that the club will renew Gianluigi Donnarumma‘s contract before it expires at the end of next season. The 21-year-old goalkeeper has already taken over the starting position on Italy’s national team from Gianluigi Buffon. “Milan needs to try and keep a player of Donnarumma’s importance,” Maldini said before Milan’s 2-0 win over Roma on Sunday. “He started in our youth system and and in my modest opinion he’s the best goalkeeper in the world.”

Gattuso: Defensively AC Milan were bad, I hope Cutrone becomes the new Inzaghi

Three goals in nine minutes saw AC Milan comeback from a goal down to beat Olympiacos 3-1 in the Europa League, but Rossoneri coach Gennaro Gattuso still feels his team still have plenty to work on.

Miguel Ángel Guerrero got the opener for the visitors on 14 minutes, but two second half goals from Patrick Cutrone and another from Gonzalo Higuain grabbed all three points for Milan.

“When I played Calhanoglu you criticised me,” Gattuso said when asked about issues with the initial formation. “You said he was like my son. And now I rest him and you still complain. He was rested just as Kessie was.

“He had an ankle problem which conditioned certain decisions. We have decided on this formation, and rest those who need it.

“The players who came on helped us win the game. With four in the attacking third, our offensive threat got better, but on the defensive side things were bad.

“If Cutrone didn’t score, I don’t know how it would have ended. The defensive line, and the midfield will be looked at.

“Before Cutrone came on we had Castellejo there, and he has different characteristics, operating more as a second striker. And before we scored we didn’t get into enough good positions, and weren’t clinical enough.

“The way the players approached the game, didn’t drive me crazy.”

Milan have now won two matches in succession for the first time since May, but Gattuso doesn’t think much has changed from a mental perspective.

“The fear [of losing] is still there,” the Rossoneri coach continued. “But we are a team that plays well technically.

“We have a find a little more compactness, and read the game better. We don’t do well without the ball, and we have to improve this aspect. While in possession we are very good.

“The problem isn’t the central midfielders. When there is a lot of space between the lines on the pitch, we’re always going to have trouble.”

Cutrone bagged his 21st goal for Milan, in just 52 appearances drawing more comparisons with Rossoneri legend Pippo Inzaghi.

“I hope he can become the new Inzaghi,” Gattuso stated. “But for now has has to get his head down and work.

“[It is encouraging] when you see a player of his age, who wants to play at all costs, despite his [injury] condition.”

Forza Italian Football

Ange Postecoglou to coach AC Milan Primavera

Former Brisbane Roar, Melbourne Victory and Socceroo coach Ange Postecoglou has been appointed to replace Gennaro Gattuso as manager of AC Milan’s Primavera squad, as Gattuso was recently promoted to manage Milan’s senior team.

“I’m extremely grateful to be given this opportunity,” said an emotional Postecoglou at this morning’s press conference in Milan. “AC Milan were one of the biggest clubs in the world, now they’re not so good. But I turned the Brisbane Roar into absolute juggernauts, so I can only imagine that I’ll help return Milan to their rightful position.

“I will also assist Gennaro with whatever he needs, and I’ll definitely be giving him pointers on matchday as I see fit.”

When asked how managing the Primavera will be any different to his experiences managing the Socceroos in the Asian Confederation, Postecoglou beamed when he stated that there are a “lack of quality strikers to finish off my good work from further up the pitch.”

Milan sporting director Marco Fassone, instrumental with this appointment, stressed that Milan needed to take a different direction with their coaching and recruitment.

“We can no longer be appointing managers with any experience in Italy,” stated a strong Fassone. “Think about it. Massimiliano Allegri failed, Sinisa Mihajlovic failed, Clarence Seedorf, Filippo Inzaghi, Brocchi and now Montella. There is a clear pattern here. Whilst we had to use Gennaro because he was ready, willing and available, we thought going with a Kangaroo was the best option at this time.

“Further, just look how he gets his teams to play. Brisbane Roar, Melbourne Victory and the Socceroos played an exciting brand of football, and as Ange alluded to earlier, now that he has competent strikers, well, let’s just say, we can’t wait to see this team play. I think the future looks bright for AC Milan.”

Gattuso, however, was less than impressed.

“NOBODY TELLS ME WHAT TO DO,” shouted Gattuso after this morning’s training session. “IF HE NO FOLLOW THE RULES, I WILL A SACK HIM. I AM LEGEND OF AC MILAN, HE IS LEGEND OF SEMI-PROFESSIONAL SOUTHA MELBOURNE.

“NO, I NO LIKE A DIS,” as he drove off quickly to get his second coffee of the day.
