The Parma Administrator was appalled by the refereeing during the Gialloblu’s Serie A game against Sampdoria.
Pierluigi Collina was at the centre of controversy on Wednesday night as Parma complained about some decisions he took which apparently damaged the Emiliani. This caused a frustrated reaction by Luca Baraldi who asked for more respect for his club.
“It seems that we are not wanted here. If we have to be relegated, we shall relegate with dignity, playing with sportsmanship but demanding respect. My complaint is relative to a penalty not awarded to Simplicio and especially for an offside on Gilardino whistled in the 92nd minute before the striker passed the winning ball to Vignaroli.”
Baraldi concluded with a provocative question: “How come in Europe we beat the strong Spanish teams but we never manage to win here?”
Baraldi, didnt you read the script? The Italian football authorities decides who wins and who is relegated, not a 10 month football season..
I hope Parma survive!
