| | Zamparini: Ban is attack on me! |
Tuesday 11 November, 2008 |
| President Maurizio Zamparini claims the two-match ban handed to Antonio Nocerino is “an attack on Palermo.”
The midfielder was sent off for an elbow on Torino's Blerim Dzemaili in the 1-0 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.
The Disciplinary Commission has now come back with its verdict and handed down a two-match suspension.
“It is absolutely incredible,” slammed President Zamparini, who had already criticised the referees for their attitude towards the Rosanero.
“Now we will lodge an appeal, but for me it is simply crazy what they are doing to us. Last night I was on a television show and every journalist watching the replay said it was not even a booking.
“This is a clear attack on me, but also on Palermo. It's just not possible any more and I am tired of this situation.
“We will contest it, analyse the referee's report and then you will see the ban will be reduced to one game.”
The other players handed a one-match suspension this week are Costa (Reggina), Giacomazzi (Lecce), Guarente (Atalanta), Pizarro (Roma) and Rossettini (Siena).
