Watching this game was interesting, there were large
portions of the game where Milan actually played well. But to watch social
media and even the media coverage, it was the end of the world. The loss of
interest in the actual football, the reduction of 90 minutes of sport into 1-2
errors that people focus on, the blaming the ref for everything when the result
doesn’t go our way… I’m just sick of it. Why even play the game when social
media is only going to take a snapshot and abuse our own players for it? Why
share experiences with fans, when they only look at the result and say “Milan
are terrible”? What is the actual point of watching or reviewing a game when
people only watch social media? It’s so old and tired.

This is where I would review the match. I might talk about
the formations, the lineups, the cards, the calls, the fouls, the attempts, the
crosses, the goals… you know the actual things that happened which shaped all 90
minutes of the game? But this time, I’m not. You people can’t handle talking about an amazing penalty or praising
an opposition player’s fantastic goal, even if it was at our expense. You are
not sports fans, you are social media hype zombies. You wouldn’t know a great
goal unless your friends on social media gif-ed it and sent it viral. You call
yourself fans? Well I see your social media accounts, and I’m pulling your fan
card.
I’m sick and tired of people calling themselves Milan “fans”
and crucifying our own players because they missed a shot or even had a bad
game. Or because they didn’t live up to someone’s uneducated and ridiculous
expectations. I am tired of people who didn’t even watch the game criticizing
our team or acting as if they even know what happened. You people are not
sports fans, you’re social media fans. You wouldn’t know a decent performance
if it hit you on the head. Even though you’d never see it coming, because you only
watch social media.

Well you people missed Milan’s best performance of the
season. Not that the result shows it, and I am very certain you didn’t get that
from social media. But for those of us who actually watched the game, we know.
After being disappointed year after year, match after match, I understand
completely how disappointing it is to watch the games only to drop three points
again. I literally preview and review every single match, so I really do know
what pain is. But go on, read social media and follow the hype-junkies and form
your opinion on the opinions of fools. In contrast to those of us who actually watch all
90 minutes of every match, you’re missing out on the actual football. I’m tired
of trying to show you what you are missing, you people are completely
unreasonable and unable to even talk about football. Enjoy your social media
delusions, I’m watching AC Milan, in good times and in bad.
