http://china.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=662207 The head of Italy’s Referees Association has insisted that Francesco Totti was dealt far too lenient a punishment following his improper conduct last weekend The Roma captain was shown a yellow card and fined ?8,000 for swearing repeatedly at referee Nicola Rizzoli after the official accidentally blocked the forward’s path to goal during Roma’s 3-1 victory over Udinese. The softness of Totti’s punishment has been a source of controversy, but the Disciplinary Commission are powerless to revise the penalty due to the lenient account of the incident given by the official. And AIA president Cesar Gussoni admitted he is bitterly disappointed in the way Totti’s case has been handled. Mistake “There was an exception to the rule with Totti and we have to see what consequences it could provoke,” he said. “In any case, it represented a black mark that, as an ex-referee, ex-designator and as a man left me deeply disappointed and bitter. “Rizzoli made a mistake in not sending Totti off.” Ref Ban While some have praised Rizzoli’s light-handed approach to Totti’s behaviour, many have slammed the referee’s actions, claiming that if it was a less famous player than the Giallorossi favourite then a sending off and five-match ban would have occurred. And the Referees Association have clearly indicated their stance on the matter by suspending Rizzoli from next week’s fixtures. “The rules state that for a serious refereeing error he must answer to the designator Pierluigi Collina,” said Gussoni. “Of course, for a situation like this there could well be a ban.” Favouritism? Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini added fuel to the favouritism fire when he claimed that a player such as Antonio Cassano – who has a reputation for his short temper – would have received an automatic dismissal and lengthy suspension if he had behaved the way Totti did. But Gussoni dismissed Mancini’s claims, and said: “I can absolutely rule that out because whoever, in voluntary terms and therefore in bad faith, would leave the AIA very quickly. This is not the case with Rizzoli.” Mike Maguire ======================================= 還想吵多久？ -- ◢ + . ． ◢◤＿▼＿◥ ORANGE ◤＿▼＿◥◣ ．. . ‥ ◢▊ ∵ ◣ . . ． ▲▲▃▃▃▃▲ PLANET▲▃▃▃▃▲▲． ‥ ．. ≡ ▏ ◥ ◤◤●◤●╱ 橘色行星 (\●◥●/ + ◤▎ ╱ ▍▅▄▃▄▃▂ ◥◣＿＿◢ ◣ ◣＿＿◢ ▂▄▅▆▇◢ ． ◣ █▆▅▅▲▲▲ まぁ●◥ ▲▲▲ ▅▇▇ ◢ ◣ ▲Ξ▲ ◆● ▲Ξ▲ ◢ 鱻ψ --
