The disqualification in Conceicao

As expected, the decision of the sports judge came today Francisco Conceicao suspended for one gamewith a Portuguese football player also punished with a fine of 2 thousand euros. The provision issued by the Sports Magistrate reads: “Double caution for misconduct towards an opponent and for imitating being fouled in the opponent’s penalty area“.

Gervasoni stepped back

Speaking during the broadcast of Dazn”Open Var”, was the deputy Andrew Gervasoni considered as superfluous referee Marinelli’s decision towards the Portuguese player. In addition, all the refereeing experts in the last two days have considered the decision of the refereeing director to send the second yellow as wrong. “The player falls after being touched, in a way that is not punishable because it wasn’t a penalty anyway, but in our opinion the simulation is a step too far“.

Application of Juventus fans

On behalf of Old Lady fans, the Jdentità Bianconera Foundation who was the spokesperson for a request to Juventus himself: “The Foundation acts as a spokesperson for the common sentiment of the Juventus community by stating that Conceicao’s disqualification is seen as an injustice that deserves review. It’s time to say enough is enough, an appeal aimed at putting pressure on Juventus to file a strong protest against the decision by examining its all available legal and procedural options.“.

I was ahead of Lukaku and Bruno Fernandes

Common sense and bureaucracy often do not go hand in hand. But there are also issues in the world of football that go in another direction. In Italy, a disqualification due to a technical evaluation by the referee has never been overturned. There is a precedent that comes from the Premier League that is worrying Bruno Fernandes suspended for foul against Tottenham with the FA arguing for the player and reducing the player’s disqualification.

In Italy there is a case of a “suspended” decision after the steps of the referee and the sports judge and this concerns the second yellow card shown Romelu Lukaku in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Juve. The player had complained about the racist insults he had received and received a second yellow card. Both the sports referee and the FIGC Court of Appeal had confirmed the sanction and it was the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravinato bestow the “grace” on the Belgian footballer allowing him to also be available for the return leg.
