Yep,that was really disgusting. I wish he could get banned for that afterwards but I guess that's not possible,right?

Di Carlo: Refs always favour Inter Sunday 20 January, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parma Coach Mimmo Di Carlo was furious with the referee for a series of controversial calls. “As usual, Inter needed help to win.”
Inter were losing on 88 minutes, but Fernando Couto was sent off and conceded a penalty for a debatable handling offence and they went on to win 3-2 in stoppages.
“I won’t judge Couto and whether it was a penalty or not, but in the first half we had a clear penalty denied on Bernardo Corradi. I don’t want to criticise the referee or teach him his job, but once again we put in a great performance and came away empty-handed.
“Refereeing designator Pierluigi Collina met with us a month ago and told us handball only counts if it is a voluntary gesture, but this clearly was not. Even if they gave the spot-kick, the red card was out of the question.”
Di Carlo was livid at the final whistle and was dismissed for dissent, but had calmed down later.
“Fair play means carrying on even when things go against you and I admit I didn’t do that very well at the end of this match.
“We prepared this game well and I knew the players were in good shape. Unfortunately, incidents tend to go in favour of the big clubs and the evidence is clear. Last week Giulio Falcone was elbowed and forced off the field, tonight we had three players taken out.
“It is a shame, but we were on a par with Inter in terms of everything and go home empty-handed.”
Parma ended the match with Couto sent off and Daniele Dessena on the sidelines, so Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s winner came at the last moment.
“We were playing with nine men and Dessena had also been taken out with a knee injury, we hope it’s not serious, so there was little we could do at that point. It was unfair, compliments to Inter, but as usual they needed help to win.
“We knew they would have problems down the flanks with their rhombus midfield. The lads did what we had planned tactically, but did not take all our chances.”
The 'guilty party’ Couto came out after the match to explain exactly what happened in that infamous incident.
“I got the ball with my head and as it went past it glanced against my hand, but it was barely any contact and certainly not intentional,” said the defender.
“I don’t think it was going in, I headed the ball towards the byline. I was diving to get to it and so my arm went up inevitably.
“I tell the truth, I got a slight touch off my hand, but it was a ricochet and absolutely not on purpose.”

So true,Di Carlo.
It just angers me that it's come to the point where every single week we have these sort of ridiculous calls. This doesn't happen in the Prem, this doesn't happen in the Bundesliga. What, are Italians so inept at decision making that the referees constantly make the wrong calls on the plays we've witnessed recently? Come on.
The more I think of it, the more I witness, the more I'm inclined to believe something isn't right here. These fools dressed up as refs are not helping their cause one bit.
Goddamn I'm fucking angry right now.

Calcio will never have credibility in the world unless it can raise its officiating standards to any league it feigns to be a peer, whether the EPL or Bundesliga.
I expected the standard of play to drop a little since calciopoli with the exodus of some talent, but I didn't expect the officiating to come off like some Mickey Mouse B league from Burundi. That last part has been the shocking outcome for Serie A for me this season.
I truly hope the Italian media start labelling this officiating farce in Serie A a "crisis" -- just as they do when Milan can't win at home. Because it is in a real crisis, and something really has to change to save the sport at this rate.

Ok here is what Couto is saying:

IT's Called a penalty!!!

Swag, i think you've been to Italy and you know the Italians. I live in a country very close to Italy, a southern European , Mediterranian country where people share the same mentality with the Italians.
I've been to England and Germany and i know these people also. I don't know if you've been to ENG or GER but if you were then you probably know that there is 0% chance Italians to do the things the way the German or English people (doctors, professors, judges, street cleaners, sportists, REFEREES ) do.
It's a helpless case. The refereeing will always be in the center of calcio.

It seems after all Rab's feelings are to come true this time 
reminds me of Dominic telling him once that a non-working clock tells the time correct twice a day.

nice jinx as well
The Coppa Italia?
The opinion of an interista: When Juve got favourable decisions it was Moggi using his power, when Inter get favourable decisions its them getting the benefit of the doubt.
Like Mughini said on controcampo this evening, Big teams tend to get calls in their favour as the refs will have an "inferiority complex" to the owners. Juve's owners don't have any power thus we lost our superiority. Just today both Milan teams screwed their opponents to win. Milan's goal was offside, yet it stood, while i don't have to mention what happened with the scum of the earth.
I love Di Carlo, his reactions made me laugh all game. Gervasoni should be suspended for at least 2 weeks.
right on
...undeservedly
Hope he breaks his leg in 4 places
He was solid throughout the game.
Any progress with Cigarini?
Dessena tripped Ibra at least, though Ibra got nothing and Dessena got a yellow
They are ruining the game for fans and football lovers.
If he played with any other club apart from Milan, he would prob be fined and suspended, but he is with Inter, so it won't even be mentioned.
For those comments Di Carlo will probably be suspended for 3 games now.
I feel sorry for Couto. I think this is the second time this has happened to him (world cup 98 against France)
here is what Couto is saying:
“I got the ball with my head and as it went past it glanced against my hand, but it was barely any contact and certainly not intentional,” said the defender.
