Pizarro still livid at San Siro ref
Tuesday 20 October, 2009
Roma midfielder David Pizarro was fined for punching a TV prop and is still furious at the refereeing in Milan.
The Giallorossi were incensed after the 2-1 defeat at San Siro on Sunday night and, as he left the field, Pizarro punched a hole in the advertising board used by Sky Italia television for post-match interviews.
The Disciplinary Commission has fined the Chilean 3,000 Euros for the gesture, but several days later he is still steaming.
“We should’ve won and even a draw would have been unfair,” snapped Pizarro in the Corriere dello Sport.
“[Referee Roberto] Rosetti had two different ways of refereeing, one in the first half and one in the second.
“Every time we go to Milan, something weird happens…”
Roma felt they deserved a penalty for a Thiago Silva challenge on Jeremy Menez and that the penalty for Nicolas Burdisso’s tackle on Alessandro Nesta was unfair.
