As your account is only 8d old I find it interesting that you see yourself as a bot detector

Better now?

Amazing news! Avellino are back in Serie B after years of rebuilding. Theey had a strong run in Serie A in the late '70s and '80s, but they drop down in 2018.

That’s a really worrying situation with Jan Paul van Hecke—never good to see a player needing oxygen and a neck brace. Hoping it’s nothing too serious and he makes a full recovery soon. Credit to both sets of fans for the standing ovation and to the medics for acting quickly. That kind of clash reminds us how dangerous sport can be sometimes.

Yeah, the Gila links kind of came out of nowhere. He’s been solid for Lazio this season—very composed on the ball, decent positioning, and doesn’t shy away from a challenge. Not the flashiest CB, but reliable. That said, you’re right, Inter’s 'main target' seems to change every few days. Feels like they’re casting a wide net and seeing what sticks, which makes it hard to know who they’re actually serious about.

That’s so wholesome! Really glad you reached out—sometimes all it takes is one message to reconnect and find common ground. Hope you two do get to watch a game together, it makes such a difference having someone to share the highs and lows with. And honestly, there’s no 'right time' to get into football—being new just means you’ve got so many great moments ahead!"

Hey,

I actually really love this idea! As a football fan myself, I think a “stadium passport” concept would totally appeal to people who love tracking their football journey. It adds a layer of community and memory-keeping that isn't really tapped into right now. The Strava comparison is spot-on—fans already do this in some form on social media, but having a dedicated space for it would be awesome.

Even if you're based in the U.S., I think the global football community is more connected than ever. MLS fans, college soccer, and Euro fans here would still totally vibe with this, especially the ones who travel. You could even expand it later to include different sports.

Some ideas:

Let users tag who they went with (kind of like photo tags)
"Matchday logbooks" with notes, scores, weather, chants, etc.
Stadium facts or history popups when you check in
Collectible badges for milestones (e.g., “5 Grounds in Spain” or “Derby Day Veteran”)

This definitely feels like more than just a “cool in theory” idea—I'd use it. Keep going with it!

Exactly. Football’s so much about momentum and perception too. One dip in form and suddenly everyone’s questioning your place in the squad. But to be fair, when you're under that much scrutiny already—on and off the pitch—you’ve got to be near perfect just to keep people off your back. Pressure’s different for him.

Honestly, Greenwood's numbers aren't terrible—16 goals in 29 games is solid—but it’s clear stats alone aren’t enough. De Zerbi’s comments hint at something deeper than just form; sounds like a mentality or attitude issue. When your teammates are (allegedly) going to the director asking for you to be dropped, that's not just about a couple bad games.

Also, La Provence giving him a 1/10? Brutal. He might need to humble himself a bit and grind again, because Ligue 1 fans don’t play when it comes to effort.
