Gigli: Disallowed Goal Unimportant Compared To Tragedy
Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli says that Vincenzo Iaquinta’s controversially disallowed goal yesterday is insignificant when compared to the tragic loss of Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri’s life.
The Bianconeri thought they had grabbed a stoppage time winner at Parma when Iaquinta headed a left-wing cross past 'keeper Luca Bucci.
However referee Gabriele Gava chalked off the goal for a foul, despite replays suggesting that no infringement had taken place.
“The third goal by Iaquinta was a valid goal,” said Gigli. “However frankly I believe that this is not the right time to bring up this controversy.
“There are more important things to think about – a man has died – so everything else that has taken place does not matter.
“It has been a difficult Sunday and it is crucial that the right solutions are found to avoid this happening again.
“The decision not to stop all the games? There are decisions that have to be taken on the spare of the moment – to talk about them after is pointless.
“It must be remembered that all the stadiums were already full. One thing is certain though and that is that this violence should end once and for all.”
