Comments on: Juventus 0-0 Torino: No Real Winner in Turin, Except the Refereeing (For Once) (Serie A Matchday 25) http://www.mcalcio.com/juventus-0-0-torino-no-real-winner-in-turin-except-the-refereeing-for-once-serie-a-matchday-25/ Serie A & World Soccer News Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:49:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Marco Pantanella http://www.mcalcio.com/juventus-0-0-torino-no-real-winner-in-turin-except-the-refereeing-for-once-serie-a-matchday-25/#comment-1365 Marco Pantanella Fri, 29 Feb 2008 02:18:06 +0000 http://www.mcalcio.com/juventus-0-0-torino-no-real-winner-in-turin-except-the-refereeing-for-once-serie-a-matchday-25/#comment-1365 Well call me crazy, but I didn't find the refereeing on Wednesday to be scandalously mediocre... at least not compared to the horrors we have seen so far this season. Perhaps I wasn't paying too much attention to it, and was more focused on enjoying the game. FYI, <i>La Gazzetta</i> <a href="http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Primo_Piano/2008/02_Febbraio/28/moviola.shtml" rel="nofollow">pretty much agreed</a> with all yellows handed out by Rosetti. As we all know they're Milan/Inter-biased, but I don't recall players protesting the decisions more than the usual... with the exception of the Giallorossi on the Mexès incident. I'll refer you to my match report for what I think of the whole thing.

He gave Roma possession when it should have been Inter's, called fouls which weren't fouls, missed at least 2-3 "second yellows" for Burdisso and gave a free kick to Inter when Zanetti - already on a yellow - elbowed Cassetti in the head and knocked him out of the game and for a few weeks. Needless to say, he had an abysmal game. Sad commentary when he's one of the better refs the peninsula has to offer. (Oh, and Mexes' second yellow didn't help matters either.)
