Rivals wonder again about Juve and referees
Published: May 08, 2000


Once again a Juventus title charge has been damaged by long held Italian beliefs that the Turin giants receive too many favours from match officials.

The decision yesterday to disallow a last minute header from Parma AC defender Fabio Cannavaro has pitched referee Massimo De Santis into the centre of a national row over the worth of the Serie A championship.

A draw yesterday would have seen Juve lose top spot in the title race to SS Lazio with one game to go and the decision was apparently given against the Parma player for pushing in the penalty area at a corner. This common offence is rarely penalised by match officials and almost never at a vital moment in the game.

The decision maintains a 2 point lead for Juventus who face a trip to Perugia next week while SS Lazio host Reggina in a much easier assignment for the Rome side.

Two years ago a Juventus title was marred by a decision that saw a clear penalty disallowed for Internazionale - their nearest title rivals at the time - in a row that saw a fight between Juve and Inter rivals in the Italian parliament. The day after the decision sports daily 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' devoted 16 pages to the controversy and a similar outcry is expected during this week as the tension builds towards the title deciders on Sunday afternoon.

Lazio owner Sergio Cragnotti has used the incident to add to his campaign for professional referees and hinted Lazio could unilaterally ignore Serie A to chase European trophies on a more level playing field in a veiled threat to create a Super League.

If the two leading teams are level then a two leg play off will decide the title but many feel Juve's 2 point advantage will be enough o see them through to a 26th title.

The link between such unprecedented success, match officials and the powerfully regal Agnelli family of Turin which owns Juventus - Ferarri and Fiat also - is a matter of constant debate among Italian football fans and not just rivals like Cragnotti

furthermore..
besides 96 Juve have won **** all in europe..italy doesnt count coz every1 who has any idea of the reality of the situation knows that Juve is favoured by the ref's.
just like when Man Utd knocked out Juve in last years Championsleague semifinal, the ref's didnt blow the whistle when a Juve player wud get the decision in a serieA game. As for Del Piero not being their, he wud of been ignored as his forte of falling to the ground at the slightest touch and yelling his innocence would of been laughed at by the ref.

Oh well, Juve shud just try to win the scudetto on the pitch without the outside help.. it would help them win more in europe.
But Juve winning the scudetto fairly ? Now thats unheard of.

Pro referees? Yes please! I've just come from the mtch between Dundee United and Motherwell,a and have to say the referee-ing was abysmal. A united player was sent off for a minor indescretion, Corners were given when Goal kicks should have been and vice-versa. If any game called for pro refs than this was it!
Another point - the linesman was taking a lot of abuse from the people sitting behind me - if he does his job for "fun" what is there to stop him from returning the abuse? If he was paid there would at least be an incentive.
