We are speaking about conflict of interest here, if we go by your logic of bias and it interfering with performance turn nobody's fit to ref since we all have biases.

i see a difference between - let's say - being slightly biased towards your hometown and being a fanboy. nobody's perfectly objective, but if it turns out that giacomelli is a roma fanboy, it's not a simple bias then.

btw that natural bias is the reason why refs are usually not assigned to the matches of their hometown teams. for instance, collina was already an established ref when they gave him a bologna match in '99 - and bologna were a serie a team for 3 seasons prior to that.

A belgian newspaper just said that Angelli is the family behind Inter.

I hate inter with a passion but there's no way id fuck em over intentionally as a ref, i think most adults can separate their personal and professional lives especially for something so trivial.

Must be the same like beeing a mod, right? You have to be professional in spite of personal issues.

i would and i'd be ridiculously blatant about it too. unscored goals will appear on the board type of shit, and reds for looking at me wrong.

what's trivial about hating Inter? I'd never agree to ref their game, but if I had to, I seriously doubt I'd be able to be unbiased, I could try and fail

Wrong, one it is not a profession, two only a handful of members are close enough for me to take anything they would do personally, and three your passive aggressiveness betrays your calm demeanor, gotta get that anger checked out.

It's just football.

Well for me football is pretty high on the priority list, otherwise I wouldn't spend hours every week watching it, playing it and talking about it. Of course it's not above career, but, as sad as it sounds, I suspect that it's not that far away either

Refs who are known to be a fan of a certain club often even end up whisteling against them in 50/50 situations.
They know they are under pressure. Everyone is watching them and they won't risk their jobs by giving away easy cards or penalties for "their" club.

I wish I was ref in UCL final that Juve played in, I'd give 4 red cards to opposition within first 3 minutes of gameplay, automatic CL for Juve

I think that might change with age

Then imagine powerplay towards the opposition goal, hitting the post 5 times, chances cleared on the line, 90 + 2, a defensive blunder, 1-0 for the opposition from their only chance in whole game, final whistle seconds after, final lost

I remember when i was like 9 and played youth football. If there was no ref available, the guest team's coach would be the ref. Was the case when one of my team mates elbowed another kid. Nose started to bleed. The ref (our coach) looked at him - play acting. Didn't even give a yellow.

'Bonucci is happy at Milan’
By Football Italia staff

Milan insist Leonardo Bonucci “totally believes” in their project, despite rumours he could leave the club.

It was reported this morning by Gazzetta dello Sport and La Repubblica that the Rossoneri captain is disillusioned after a bad start to the season, and could be willing to move abroad.

The Diavolo have responded to that in their Press round-up, declaring that the centre-back will remain at San Siro.

“But how beautiful the rediscovery of Bonucci is!” the comment from the club begins.

“Suddenly we go from teasing about shifting the balance, to the threat of a sudden abandonment of Milan and the interest of big clubs.

“In a nutshell, these really are inadmissible allegations. The reality is that Leo has already informally denied them. Not only that, he’ll do it formally too.

“Leonardo Bonucci totally believes in the Milan project, and this just proves that pre-Christmas stories are absolutely based on nothing.

“The Rossoneri captain is working hard, just like all his teammates, in the ritiro to redeem himself and the whole of Milan, who are in a very negative position.”

Wouldn't it be automatic lost though if the teams has less then X amount of players on field?

When i was young kid i kept getting stuck on a team with this kid whoss jackass dad was ref in like half the games. He gave every call against us and then gave his son shit after the game for losing. I remember we got rid of him for a short time because he went to southeast asia on a vacation.90% sure it was just to fuck another continents kids in the ass.

I was also on his sons baseball team and he would stand behind the dugout and loudly critisize every kid who was batting.

Apparently like a decade later he was elected mayor of the town.

@DAiDEViL

Ursulo is one of the most respected sources in Italy when it comes to Milanese clubs, ofcourse I'm trusting him over a football italia article
