Juventus midfielder Pavel Nedved has received a massive five match ban for his red card in Friday's stormy 1-1 draw with Genoa.
The Czech midfielder has found guilty of having deliberately stamped on a Grifone player as the game drew to a close, receiving a straight red card and berating an official before then stepping on him as well. :faq2:
Nedved, who had earlier put the Calciopoli-hit club in the lead with a trademark, albeit deflected, free kick, will now miss the crunch game with Bologna on 19 December.
The draw was enough to put Juve top of Serie B, but the Bianconeri have since seen top spot taken away from them, and Didier Deschamps' side now lie in second, level on points with Bologna.
Napoli head the division after a 1-1 draw against Frosione, although they have been ordered to play one match behind closed doors after Saturday's game was twice suspended after fans threw flares onto the pitch.

Furious Nedved issues threat Wednesday 6 December, 2006

Juventus ace Pavel Nedved is fuming over his five-match ban. “If this is the policy, I will retire,” he stated.
The Czech midfielder received the massive ban for his dismissal against Genoa in Friday night’s 1-1 draw, when he was adjudged to have intentionally stepped on the foot of the referee after his red card.
“Zinedine Zidane was suspended for three matches for a head-butt, what did I do to get five?,” said the player to his agent Mino Raiola.
“If this is the way they intend to manage things, I might as well retire from football,” added the player, who was asked by Juve to avoid releasing any statements on the issue as the Bianconeri are appealing.
“Pavel told me that he cannot agree with the decision and that [referee] Farina is a liar, he never offended him and he did not stamp on him voluntarily,” explained Raiola to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Many clubs have complained about this referee, including Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter and Milan.
“Pavel is convinced that the team is paying for what happened during the summer, but that was not the players’ fault,” added the representative.
“If this is how things will continue, they should have killed the club or given them a 40-point deduction.
“Pavel also wants Juve to know that he does not agree with their attitude. The club must react and demand respect.
“If this does not change he is ready to consider quitting. Punishments must be proportional to blame, in this case there is no proportion.
“I am thinking of appealing to the European Court of Human Rights. A five-match ban means that Nedved will not be able to play for a month and a half and you cannot deny a citizen the right to work for such a long time.
“They might as well rescind his contract…” ended Raiola.

Desicion is too harsh!!!(5 match ban)
I do not think he even deserves a 2 match ban.
A red card is a red card when needed. Match bans are for Dangerous actions. Imean if Zidane only recieved a 3 match ban, no use since he retired, Nedved doesn't deserve a single one.
The Italian Association are going too hard on Juve...
When you are the best you get punished hardly..
Juventus got religated to Serie B but Arsenal who smuggled Ivory Coast players were not punished!!!

To all of you who are crapping on our Board, let me ask you one question: What would you do if you were in their place?
They lodged an appeal, what do you expect more?
Do you think they have magical sticks in their hands so they could provide justice to the whole world?
I agree that the punishment for Nedved is excessive, but he is no angel, he is just like other players, he reacted badly and he deserved the red card.
Stop whining and behave like true Juventus fans!
Congratulations Dominic, for objectivity...
