FC Porto submitted two disciplinary reports to the Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) about the incidences of the classic against Sporting, in the Allianz Cup final, informed Francisco J. Marques, on Porto Canal, this evening Tuesday. The white and blue complaints focused on Matheus Reis’ head touching referee João Pinheiro and on post-match statements by Frederico Varandas. The documents were sent on the 31st of January and the response, rejecting them, was given on the same day by the CD. “There are times when sports justice works almost at the speed of light. We wait for the Sunday derby to talk about this. In the final of the League Cup, Matheus Reis behaved, who leaned his head against referee João Pinheiro, and had the statements on refereeing by the president of Sporting in the stadium garage. Therefore, FC Porto decided to present two disciplinary reports on January 31st, which were sent by email at 1:12 pm. The email control was read at 3:02 pm, and then FC Porto received two deliberations, because of Matheus Reis and because of the statements by the president of Sporting. in nothing”, began by revealing the communication director of FC Porto, finding the FPF CD’s decision to be strange. “According to the Disciplinary Board, considering that the factuality in question in that communication does not result in evidence of the practice of disciplinary infraction, insofar as such statements still seem compatible with the objective criticism, it is determined that the present file is archived. In other words, , having someone say that there is conditioning of referees, that is considered an objective criticism. In my understanding, talking about conditioning of referees is not an objective criticism, it is a vague criticism, which casts suspicion on many people. All advisers arrived quickly to this consensus and decided to archive the file. FC Porto has already appealed this, but had to make the appeal without a process number, because it was not assigned, it went to the TAD, this is very strange. It is even stranger in the matter of Matheus Reis, who had the behavior that the images illustrate. The Disciplinary Board says that the action was perceived by the referee, therefore objectionable. of the refereeing team’s decision”, said Francisco J. Marques.
