Bradley: Chievo vs Siena 3/25

Bradley: Chievo v Siena 3/25 [R]

Bradley started and it is 1-0 Chievo at the half.

 

wow, I even opened a 2nd tab to make sure no one else posted while I was typing mine up, you must have submitted yours seconds before mine.

 

Oh boy, big mistake by MB, tries to head it back to the keeper and didn't see the striker lurking and now it's 1-1.

 

1-1 FT

Tough game for Bradley. Who knows if Siena would've pushed for a goal without that mistake, but it'll certainly get scrutinized since it was so glaring.

 

Mike's played a largely error-free season, but Chievo play with such a small margin for error. He needs to be error-free, all the time-- harsh but true. He knows that and will probably be the first to admit it.

I don't expect we'll see more errors like that from Mike.

 

Hard for human beings to do that.

 

Thankfully we're still not sure if Mikey's actually fully human.

 

I'm guessing no 6.5 this week...

 

I'm pretty sure that Mike's mother was the Bionic Woman.

 

??

Game was blatantly fixed for a draw, nobody will even care.

ouch.

 

Absolutely nothing in Bradley's history suggests that he would ever throw a game.

 

From Datasport:

As bad as that play was, he was tied with Pellisier and Paloschi for lowest grade among Chievo.

Anyway, I wasn't suggesting Bradley was directly involved, I was just saying that his mistake would go unnoticed as the planned outcome was a draw anyway and Siena would have scored regardless.
