Match19 Sep 2029

Pineto out of the cup

Sorrento ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad24 Sep 2029

A one-man rearguard from Alessandro Tonti

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Luca Schirone runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match22 Sep 2029

No end in sight to Pineto's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Pineto has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad24 Sep 2029

Luca Schirone in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pineto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match22 Sep 2029

Ascoli take the points off Pineto

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad24 Sep 2029

Gabriele Platto gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad24 Sep 2029

Tiziano Spinelli out for 15 days

The medical room confirms 15 days on the sidelines for Tiziano Spinelli, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings24 Sep 2029

Gianluca Germinario leaves them behind him

Shots: 8. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Boardroom23 Apr 2029

The scrutiny sharpens at Pineto

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Pineto is running low.

Market23 Apr 2029

Alessandro Pellegrino puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Pineto, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Remember the name: Gabriele Platto

He is 21, he is averaging 7.32, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Tempers go at Pineto

Luca Schirone was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad23 Apr 2029

The manager makes an example of Luca Lombardi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom23 Apr 2029

Wages eat 90% of everything Pineto earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Market23 Apr 2029

A long bet from Pineto on Robert Morris

He is 16, and nobody at Pineto signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Lorenzo Carvalho asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market23 Apr 2029

The Rio Shipston story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Rio Shipston signs something — a contract at Pineto or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

In brief

  • Market Pineto shop where it costs nothing
  • Boardroom Pineto keep producing them
