Nick Mason?

An interesting piece of information the other day in "Repubblica's" daily: I thought that they would talk perhaps of a Pink Floyd reunion, seeing that in the middle of the two news briefs there was Nick Mason's picture, the drummer of that great British band.

Instead?  No, no news, just his picture.  Go figure THAT one out!!!!

 

Udinese....

Di Natale's goals, the Gazzetta goes along with official figures

The newspaper has updated its records of Di Natale's goals according to the Lega's official figures. The goal to ("against"?) Genoa has been acknowledged.

[ 07.11.2014 ]

Starting from today, Totò Di Natale has scored 199 Serie A goals (",") also according to the Gazzetta dello Sport. In an article written by Francesco Velluzzi published today on ("in"?) the newspaper, the decision to update the record according to the Lega Calcio's official figures has been announced.


Thirteen months after the goal scored to ("against"?) Genoa, which was initially counted as ("an own-goal"?) own-goal scored by Calaiò, every body ("everybody"?) involved has acknowledged the Captain's performance.

Bread made out of "floor"? Hmmmm....

Yes, give that translator a medal! Indeed interesting to see that bread can be made from “floor”, eh?

Medals, anyone?

Yes, give that translator a medal!

 

 

A European "Canadian" flag?

Hmm, I wonder if the journalists over at Italy's "Repubblica" newspaper failed elementary geography?  We're informed that in Kiev there were European flags that were being waved at the Majdan square.  So Canada's moved to the Ukraine, eh????

 

Udinese...

Guidolin: "Another match full of hazards"

The analysis of the match by Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin

[ 26.01.2014 ]

Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin talked about a series of subjects during the press conference held after the loss in Parma: "I have already experienced such a series of losses in Parma. We are going through a tough time and this loss adds to the others. It's been a match as full of hazards  (“full of hazards”?) as the one with Lazio. It was a well-balanced match. Parma put more quality and experience. Our group is very young, we did quite good, but we suffered from the Tim Cup efforts". What about Gabriel Silva's change (“substitution”?)? "I hoped I could use him, but he tried to make an effort in the warm-up and didn't make it". Is Udinese sterile? (!!!!) "It is partly true, we needed Nico Lopez and Muriel's vividness. Parma second-guessed our moves and lined up consequently. We were not as determined as against (“as we were against”?) AC Milan. We should improve our team solidity". Should you watch your back? "We should adapt. There is no other way".

Were there any communication problems on Parma's goal? "We can do better than that indeed".

Why did you choose that lineup? "Widmer earned to be confirmed. Bubnjic is the natural substitute to Domizzi and I needed Nico Lopez's vividness (!!!!)".

“Darkness on the Edge Of Time”?

Any Springsteen fans out there?  Yes?  I myself have seen him live five times (the first time in Toronto in July, 1985 during his epic “Born In The USA” tour).  I think I know a lot of his great music, including his albums.  Many will perhaps agree that one of his all-time best LPs is “Darkness on the Edge of Town”.   
Well, not for Gino Castaldo of Italy’s “La Repubblica” newspaper as on January 27^th, 2014 he mentioned Bruce’s “other” famous album, that is, “Darkness on the Edge Of Time”!  Yes, hard to believe, but true…
