Reggina-Juve Ref To Be Suspended For Two Months

Paolo Dondarini, the referee at the centre of the controversy at Reggina on Saturday night, is set to be suspended from duty for two months, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.

Dondarini has been widely condemned throughout the peninsula for a shocking display at the Stadio Granillo.

The official denied Juventus two clear penalties, awarded Reggina a debatable spot-kick, while his overall management of the game was also perceived as clearly siding with the home side.

The Gazzetta says that as punishment Dondarini will be suspended for two months, and when he returns from his ban, he will be demoted to officiate matches in Serie B.

There was a similar sentence handed out to Mauro Bergonzi after the hugely controversial Napoli – Juventus clash last October. In that game Bergonzi awarded the Partenopei two scandalous penalties as they inflicted a 3-1 defeat on the Bianconeri.

The situation with referees in Serie A is fast descending into something of a crisis, and there are increasing calls that the federation should turn to foreign officials to help out at this delicate moment.

Maybe the A-League could take a hint here!

excellent refs must also be accountable

[Mr DJ]

[Napoli]

Do you think shields would get a suspension for his display in the Grand final, the biggest match of the year?

Not a bad idea.

are you being serious? you had one bad decision against you, that being Sissoko should have had a penalty, and that calls for a ref to be banned. It is laughable if you look at some of the decisions against Reggina this season. This sends one message to us Reggina fans, we can have a whole season of decisions effecting the outcome of the game against us, but if a decision goes our way, the ref gets banned. The figc hates us, I really am dissolutioned as a serie a fan after this, this is too much, look at the recent Torino game the decisions that went against us, 2 stupid penalties and a dissalowed goal, did u see me complaining, I took it and looked on to next week, but heaven forbid the referee makes a controversial decision in our favour.

Did you watch dominica sportiva, they feel there were 4 penalty descisions for Juve. I didn't see the game so I won't comment on that, but if a ref makes that many mistakes including missing a rugby tackle i=on Nedved in the box then he may not be at serie A standard.

[Missing Post Count]

I've recorded it, but as yet haven't got around to reading it.

[BocaChiefs]
