Some feel we are in the peak Rigore! age with misery piling upon misery. Join us here for a grim start to the Serie A season for myself and Marco linktr.ee/Rigore

Reminder to myself not to express football opinions on reddit. I had the temerity to say I didn't think Milan looked that great and you'd think I'd said I killed Milan fans' families. What a bunch of babies 😂 Look forward to seeing Milan conquer all this season now that I have been 'schooled'

Played well again, and unlucky on both goals. I think if Bella-Kotchap's attempted clearance on their 1st goal actually goes out we get something - it wasn't a game where we were hanging on. The defence is still a bit dodgy, and Adams not quite in form, but hopefully that change soon. #VeneziaFC

We're back! And back to normal as both @ginkers.bsky.social and @marcorinaldi.bsky.social are miserable after bad defeats for Fiorentina and Venezia in the opening games... Come listen to us suffer! linktr.ee/rigore

Losing at home to Lecce (and Di Francesco) is a bad way to start the season. Dominated, had two goals disallowed and their keeper pulled off some good saves, but it's a blow, no doubt. Think we'll be OK up front, but defence looks questionable. On to the next... Milan away 😬 #VeneziaFC

And so, the end is here... In our final episode of the season we review the final round of games in Serie A and also look at the Serie B playoffs and playouts... It's been great covering a historic season for Venezia (less so for Fiorentina), and we will speak to you all in August! linktr.ee/rigore

If you wondered if things would change for Serie A clubs playing young Italians, it would appear not... Doumbia leaving was inevitable, but why aren't Inter, Roma, Milan buying him? I'm sure they'll bring in a mediocre Ligue 1 player or something though

Yes, yes, Inter won the league, but there's only one thing to really talk about this week - VENEZIA IN SERIE A! We look back at Venezia's promotion and wonder where it may take them next year (hopefully not straight back to Serie B!) Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

IN SERIE A! IL VENEZIA IN SERIE A! DAI FIOI! #VeneziaFC

A weekend of few goals in Serie A, but the race for the last CL spot and last relegation spot is still wide open. Down in Serie B, Venezia are only 3 points away... Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

We waited until after the Lecce-Fiorentina game to record this one. Was it worth it? No 😆 But come listen to use ramble about that, Inter walking away, the tense Serie B promotion race, and why wanting Italy to find a back door to the World Cup is wrong. Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

This should ensure Malago and Abete don't get the position... Anyone that thinks Conte is the long term solution is deluded. He'd get us to the Euros, maybe even do well, but won't bring the changes we need. Source: Football Italia share.google/C57NpsLrzbjr...

Good draws for Fiorentina and Venezia, but our minds are on Italy this week as they face the World Cup playoffs... Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

More podcast fun out now linktr.ee/Rigore

We’re back with more Calcio nonsense - happily recorded before Udinese battered Fiorentina linktr.ee/Rigore

Are Inter already champions? Certainly looks that way. Things aren't so clear at the bottom of Serie A, however, as Fiorentina scrape a vital win. In Serie B, Venezia continue at the top, but not without a few scares v Pescara. Plus, why are Serie A teams so poor in Europe? linktr.ee/rigore

Slightly abbreviated episode as we recorded on Sunday before a few games were played - suspect @ginkers.bsky.social mood darkened after other results... But hey - Venezia win their top of yje table clash! Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

The capolista edition of the @rigorepod.bsky.social is out now. Hear Marco at the happiest he’s ever been. Don’t worry, though, I’m still grumpy linktr.ee/Rigore

On today's episode: VENEZIA ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! (Plus we chat about some unimportant Serie A stuff) Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

This week we do that rarest of things (for us) - we praise Como (sort of...!) Plus, Fiorentina slip again, while Venezia can't stop scoring. And should Verratti come back for Italy? You know our answer, whatever it is, will be the wrong one! Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

It's strange times at Rigore Towers as there is an air of celebration and happiness with both Fiorentina and Venezia winning... Surely it can't last?? Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

The latest Rigore! podcast is out, please share. A lot of coaches losing the plot this weekend and Venezia most serenely keep moving up the Serie B table linktr.ee/rigore

Our first pod of 2026 is surprisingly hopeful as Fiorentina win again (just!) and Venezia enjoyed a festive break on a fine run of form. Plus - red cards aplenty in Rome, Inter and Milan both win and more... Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

A joyful Christmas episode as Fiorentina finally win, while Venezia win their second top-of-the-table clash in a row. Buon Natale all! linktr.ee/rigore

Fiorentina sink even lower, Milan struggle again against the 'smaller' teams, Napoli lose - but Venezia put in a commanding performance against Monza, so at least one half of the pod is happy, while the other is deep in despair... Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

Fiorentina sink to new lows, Napoli beat Juve, and Venezia frustrated by Avellino... It's another misery-packed episode 😂 Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

An in-person Rigore catch-up last night - finally made @ginkers.bsky.social support a proper team...

Was it a penalty? No. Was it a classic Italian refereeing farce? Yes. We discuss the end of Milan-Lazio, plus Fiorentina get worse and Venezia get better. Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore
