Napoli fan attempting to sue referee after Juventus defeat
ffs
One foolhardy Napoli fan has begun legal proceedings against referee Nicola Rizzoli after the official decided not to send off Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci during Sunday's fiery encounter against cross-city rivals Torino.
The Derby della Mole is always a lively affair and the most recent instalment proved no different, Juve eventually winning 4-1 to re-establish their three-point lead over Napoli at the top of the Serie A table.
However, watching from afar, Napoli fan Luigi Giordano was outraged at the lack of disciplinary action taken by referee Rizzoli during the match, despite the sending off of Sami Khedira for dissent in the latter stages.
A lawyer by trade, Giordano was rendered aghast by several refereeing decisions, decisions he felt directly benefited Juve's title hopes at Napoli's expense.
As well as Torino having a goal chalked off, Giordano also took umbrage at Rizzoli failing to red card Bonucci despite the Juve centre-back appearing to butt heads with the referee at one point during the game.
According to Gazzetta World, it was this incident that tipped him over the edge and he immediately filed an official complaint with the relative authorities.
"I have done my duty as a lawyer and Napoli fan," Giordano wrote on his Facebook page. "I now place my trust in the Turin magistrates."
