Guest chopey Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I went to that, think David Villa came on for the second half and was just so much better than everyone else. Also remember Carroll having a great game at SJP v Juventus in a pre season friendly and Buffon said he was going to be one of the best strikers in the world one day Was that the Del Piero standing ovation game.

I'm nearly sure that was 98 and the Carroll game was more like 2007/2008 or around there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Only standing ovation I can remember in a friendly was for Kluivert a year or two before we signed him. Don't think Del Piero played in the Juve friendly, think Nedved did though, which was class. Think they were in Serie B that steason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they were in Serie B that steason Del Piero played in a friendly at St James' in 98, I remember it well because we'd just signed Hamann (in fact I think he scored in the game) and I moved to the US that summer, we played them right before I left in August and I remember Del Piero getting a great reception, standing ovations when he took corners etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Might well have been when they'd just got back to Serie A. Just remember their fans having a sign saying thanks to the players who'd stuck with them during their forced relegations. And Ranieri I think was furious at their performance that he refused to make huge changes at half time to punish the players who were playing. On the topic of home friendlies, we played PSV about 5 years ago and James Perch committed a terrible last man tackle in the first 3 minutes and I thought it was going to be one of the quickest red cards in a friendly ever but the ref (probably sensibly) only gave him a yellow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Never known someone so angry at not being able to watch friendlies as sbnufc Just given the lack of streams for a lot of our games this season (I assume) I want as much as I can get, and I would have thought some shitty pre-season friendlies wouldnt be too much to ask.
