Lega Serie D – General Discussion

[Messinterista]

All talk relating to Italy's Serie D goes here.

Good idea splitting Lega Pro and Serie D. Well done.
Saturday's Serie D match due on RaiSport 1 was scrambled. Hope this is not going to be a regular occurence.
For Messina and Venezia supporters - good news again. Both won yesterday, the latter by an impressive 4-0 scoreline. It would be great to see both clubs back in the big(ger) time next season.

Next Saturday's live serie D match on RAI Sport 1 is at 12.45 p.m. BST according to the advance publicity. Let's hope it won't be scrambled.
For the benefit of those without access to RAI teletext I'll post the Messina and Venezia results here each week from now on. If anyone wants any other clubs' results listed please signify on this site.

Sounds good Jocksboy, look forward to it.

Bad news for Messinese. It seems that teletext got one of Messina's two previous reults wrong. They lost on Saturday and have just two points from three games, having been deducted one point for irregularities (not specified). My apologies for the bum minformation.
Good news for followers of Venezia, though. They recorded their third straight win. Unfortunately they too have had a point deducted, so they're only third in the table with eight points.
The other bit of good news is that Saturday's live match on Rai Sport wasn't scrambled. The precious week there must have been an apprentice on who forgot to turn off the scrambler after the previous programme!

[Messinterista]

Yeah I thought as much. We lost our most recent match 2-0 at home and sit 15th on the table after 3 matches.

Saturday's Serie D live game on Rai Sport 1 is at 12.40 according to the advance schedules.

[Jocksboy]

Messina and Venezia both had 1-1 draws on Sunday.
This will be my last post here. Now that CalcioUK is up and running again (www.calciouk.com) I will be going back to my roots.

Jocksboy I can post in both with ease - it's not one or the other! Stick around.

[Jocksboy]

O.K. guys - you've talked me into staying, for a while at least, though I'll probably confine my posts to Lega Pro and Serie D. A welcome win for Messina yesterday by 2-0; Venezia only managed a 1-1 draw.
I do wish Rai Sport would be more accurate with their scheduling. Saturday's Serie D live match was originally supposed to be at 12.40. On the morning the teletext showed 12 noon. The game actually started at 1.00 p.m.!

Good stuff, Jocksboy. Keep an eye on the lega-pro site for TV coverage on RAI:

Today's Serie D live game on Rai Sport 1 is Sterilgarda v. Castellana, scheduled to start at 1 p.m. BST.

[Jocksboy]

Another 1-1 draw for Messina yesterday, which leaves them still just above the relegation zone with seven points.
Better news for Venezia. A 5-3 victory at home sees them joint second in the table with 14 points, but four behind the leaders.

[Jocksboy]

Today's live game on Rai Sport 1 is Salerno v. Civitavecchia, kick-off 1 p.m. BST.

[Jocksboy]

Messina and Venezia both picked up 1-0 victories yesterday. Messina's was at home and moves them away from the relegation zone and into the top half of the table (just). Venezia were away; their victory puts them in second place on their own now, four points behind the leaders.

[Messinterista]

As long as we stay above relegation How things have changed... O how I wish we were in the Serie B (Serie A first and foremost, but B would be more realistic)

[Jocksboy]

Messina drew 1-1 on Sunday. They now have 11 points and sit eighth in the table.
Another good win for Venezia, 3-1 away from home. They now share top place with Porto Tolle on 22 points.
