From David To Goliath

By: cathal | Comments 14 Comments

Never underestimate the power of 5million euro. While many fans mourn the loss of what most believe to be our best centre-back, it appears Lotito and Tare have been hard at work behind the scenes putting that cash to good use. If you believe the rumours, that sum of money will pay the salary of [...]

The Return Of The Poll

By: cathal | Comments 13 Comments

With the new season fast approaching, I think it’s about time I got the poll up and running again. If you were wondering where it had gone, I simply decided to give it a hard-earned vacation. I hope to have a new poll every Monday from now until the end of the season but due [...]

Too Friendly

By: cathal | Comments 5 Comments

Lazio played two friendlies over the weekend against vastly different opposition. On the Saturday, the side took on the more competitive Triestina while on the Sunday morning, much of the back-up squad faced Spal Cordovado. The gulf in quality can be found in the respective scorelines; 2-2 and 13-0. Nevertheless, it’s always good to get [...]

An ‘Interview’ With Igli

By: cathal | Comments 3 Comments

Franco has ran into some unforeseen difficulties (I love how two words can make a situation sound incredibly serious) and can’t post at the minute. The truth is, he is having a problem with his image (not appearance, an actual picture-thing). Once it’s all sorted out, the latest player profile will be on display. Until [...]

The Tell Tale Signs

By: cathal | Comments 5 Comments

Our 2-1 friendly victory over Spal yesterday may have appeared to be a routine pre-season workout but it’s amazing what you can read between the lines and as always, the media are quick to whack on their analytical spectacles. Fans like me will study these friendly line-ups as if a cure to all the world’s [...]

By: cathal | Comments 12 Comments

The new Lazio squad was presented to fans in Auronzo di Cadore a couple of nights ago and thanks to Lalaziosiamonoi, we can all enjoy a selection of highlights in the video below. The quality is hardly mindblowing but it does give us a unique opportunity to view the whole squad in a relaxed environment [...]

Keeping Up Appearances

By: cathal | Comments No Comments

Everybody’s favourite president, Claudio Lotito, paid a quick visit the other day to our boys in Auronzo di Cadore. The wily old man seemed to be in fine form, interacting and joking with the fans who also made the long journey. I would say it is great to see the head honcho in this kind [...]

Balboa In Bust-Up

By: cathal | Comments 14 Comments

Rocchi Balboa lived up to his nickname today as our captain got involved in a dispute with Diakite’. The extent of his involvement is uncertain as one report empasises on the verbal aspect while the other speaks of a physical altercation. Whatever the situation may have been, I believe this to be incredibly irresponsible behaviour [...]
