Titolo: Re: Il Genoa su THE TIMES di oggi

 Gradinata Nord. 
quoto solo la parte che mi é piaciuta di piú; per chi non parla 
inglese, traduco liberamente (i punti esclamativi sono miei)
"Entra (nella gestione del Genoa) Enrico Preziosi, magnate dei 
giocattoli (!), innamorato pazzo del calcio (!!), benefattore 
(!!!), e uno dei piú folkolristici presidenti di club italiani, 
che taglia il campo di corsa dopo ogni partita per salutare i 
tifosi (in italiano nel testo) della Grandinata Nord (in 
italiano e iniziali maiuscole nel testo)
:-)
Pat.

***************************************
            A little bit of England sets sail for Serie A
            By Christopher Irvine
            Genoa is a club founded by a doctor from Stoke Newington and
proud of their heritage
            THE NEW LUIGI FERRARIS STADIUM  WAS festooned in the Cross of St
George, on hundreds of flags and smiling faces. In keeping with the mood,
the British National Anthem and Roll out the Barrel were belted out by the
followers of Genoa, Italy's oldest football club, where English connections
are deep-rooted. Genoa Cricket and Football Club, to give the club its
official title, also looks to be awakening from one of the longest slumbers
in footballing history.
            It is a reflection of sepia-tinted glories - Genoa's last league
title was won in 1924 - that in the great northern port city, names such as
James Richardson Spensley, a doctor from Stoke Newington and founding father
of Italian football, and Willy Garbutt, a trailblazing coach, who arrived at
Genoa in 1912 after an undistinguished playing career with Reading,
Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal, are still celebrated.
            Homage is paid to the plaque marking Spensley's establishment of
the football team in 1896, originally for expatriates to play against the
crews of visiting British ships, hence the team's original white shirts. His
legacy was adopted by Garbutt, the first professional manager in Italy, a
charismatic visionary and legendary pipe smoker, who coined the use of the
word "Mister" by Italian players to refer to their coaches, and led Genoa to
three championship titles.
Garbutt personified the archetypal old English gentleman and would have
enjoyed the present crop of players, Giorgio Casazza, 70, a lifelong
Rossoblu (red and blue) said, as he watched Genoa ease past Piacenza 1-0 and
move six points clear in Serie B. "I remember Garbutt's second spell here,"
Casazza said. "They called him 'Mister English'. He was phenomenally
successful in the 1920s. I recall him taking a training session in 1946 and
the players taking in every word from the old sage. He was a brilliant
tactician and put a big emphasis on physical fitness."
Since Spensley and Garbutt, Genoa have been doomed to disappointment. Last
season was their worst for 35 years as they were destined to be relegated
for only a second time to Serie C. To compound the misery, Sampdoria, their
bitter rivals and co-tenants, were promoted to Serie A. Only the sort of
irregularity that Italian football could manifest spared them. Thanks to an
ineligible player fielded by another team and a successful appeal, the
division was expanded, while Genoa also got the finances they desperately
required.
Enter Enrico Preziosi, toy magnate, football nut, benefactor and one of the
most colourful Italian club presidents, who cuts a dash after every home
game, running and saluting the tifosi on the Gradinata Nord. The vast stand
erupted in an explosion of flares, fireworks and blazing Genoa flags. "It
has become a ritual," Roberto Casazza, Giorgio's son, said. "Everyone stays
afterwards to see the president come over. He swept away 24 players and
brought in 24 good ones. Genoa have been transformed."
On this particular Sunday, a goal by Giovanni Tedesco maintained Genoa's
unbeaten home record. Piacenza had a goal disallowed by a female referee's
assistant, whom La Gazzetta Dello Sport compared to "Sharon Stone or la
Befana" - the witch who visits children after New Year - depending on your
team. For Genoa, the bandwagon of promotion to Serie A after ten years out
of the top flight shows no sign of stopping.
It would mean a return of the derby della Lanterna - Genoa's lighthouse and
main sight of the city - against Sampdoria, a comparative fledgeling club of
59 years, whose supporters tend to be drawn from outside Genoa. "This is the
traditional Genoa club," Giorgio Casazza said. "Supporting Genoa is like an
illness."
For Richard Raper, a longstanding Genoa fan from Leeds, the Piacenza result
confirmed his theory. "We are going up," he said."To be an Englishman here
is like being at home. Cuore e rossoblu (my heart is red and blue)."
The ghosts of Spensley and Garbutt would concur.

Per la precisione: *cuts a dash* non significa *tagliare il campo* ma
*esibirsi*. Quindi, traduzione esatta: *si esibisce, dopo ogni
incontro casalingo, correndo e salutando i tifosi nella Gradinata
Nord*.
Per la precisione.
