As it is known, the Sunday match between cf. and Fcsbconcluded with 2-2 in Gruia, aroused sharp comments, both bands accusing the arbitration of the brigade led by Sebastian Colțescu. As the defective way they intervened, or not, Ovidiu Hațegan and Radu Ghiciulescu from the Var room.
Summarizing, FCSB complained about the non -granting two blows from 11 meters, at Păun's hen and Alibec's shirt. In turn, the Cluj team considered unfair because Mihai Popescu was forgiven by the second yellow card in the extensions of the first half. Protesting vehemently, those from CFR appreciated, logically, that the match had gained another turn if the Bucharest people had played in the second part with a minus man.
It was normal that, discussing lit on the performance of the brain and lime whistle knights, the central referees commission to issue a statement and to seek, at least, to clarify things. As usual, however, the forum presided over by the Greek Kyros Vassaras did not manifest publicly and preferred to shut up.
The policy of the ostrich, you know the attitude, about it is a closed body, which does not respond in front of anyone. State in the state, nothing else!
On sources, here's how the chiefs of the arbitration judged the 3 incriminated phases:
1. The ball wipes the peacock, does not hit him in the elbow. It is a phase to the limit, but not one hundred percent clear to intervene lime and change the decision on the ground. The CFR player is upside down, with his back, and his left hand is in a natural position.
2. At Alibec it is clear of the shirt, but the impact is zero. No shot can be given from 11 meters. After Alibec loses the ball, he stops and raises his hands.
3. Mihai Popescu plays the ball. His foot hits the earth and ricoles in the foot of Louis Munteanu, which he deletes, does not hit it directly.
In other words, a whole world saw in a way, only Vassaras and they saw the opposite! The elders did not retain any error in Colțescu's account, which they graduated from any fault, and even removed the fairy tale, from the rewarding reward! They rejected, this is deduced, the arguments of the two clubs, including the conclusive images with the foul of Mihai Popescu, produced by CFR.
Regarding which Gigi Becali launched at Digi Sport the fanciful theory that, if he left an advantage and had been empty, the FCSB stop had to be sanctioned. In the sense that the phase's return was not required. But Becali supported on TV is not found in the regulation. Nowhere.
Sebastian Colțescu
Discovering the position of CCA, whether it is unofficial, obtained on trusted chains, we find that it was tried, even if without luck, Colțescu's “whitening”, his discrimination.
In parallel, I understood something else. Why Romanians arbitrate well abroad, often as a book, but often and seriously in the country. Because outside, feeling alone, they are afraid not to make mistakes and be stopped from delegations, while at home they know they are defended with their teeth, protected.
Vassaras et Co treats them with the spirit of gentleness, with gloves, and we, the others, defy us or, worse, take us fools. He walks to fool us.
