“Everybody in football says he's a star”

Radu Petrescu's name is now involved in a scandal of great proportionsafter he canceled for no reason a perfectly valid goal in the match Petrolul – FC Argeș, score 2-1, achieved by the people of Pitesti, who risk missing the play-off after this result.

There were voices that claimed that Petrescu's decision came to help FCSB, who are fighting with FC Argeș, among others, for a play-off place. Victor Angelescu also indicated the idea that Petrescu is a FCSB sympathizer, an aspect that terribly disturbed MM Stoica.

From this premise was born a heated dialogue between the two officials, who finally agreed that Petrescu should have been removed from the arbitration more than a decade ago.

The complete dialogue between Mihai Stoica and Victor Angelescu

Below, the full dialogue between the two regarding the arbitration situation and the sympathies of certain “central”. The subject? The last Rapid – FCSB derby refereed by Radu Petrescu, when the “central” did not award a penalty for Giulești.

• “MM: I'm trying to convince you that he was never a referee… that he didn't make a mistake in our favor.

• Angelescu: The phase with the penalty for me is clear, it is one of the clearest penalties that Radu Petrescu looks at in the replay and does not want to give it.

• MM: I ask you, before that phase it was 2-1 for us and should Petrila have been eliminated when he took him and stepped on Tănase?

• Angelescu: He can give him the second yellow, but there is another thing… never in a match he will referee against only one team. Everyone in the football world says that this is a referee who favors… that he is a star player.

• MM: Wait a minute, 0-0 with Radu Petrescu in the center, on the edge of Ghinguleac, and Manea steps on Radunovic. Nothing! Radu Petrescu in the center in the same match and gets Dawa yellow with the simulation of Koljic. He gave Dawa a yellow for nothing and immediately after that the second yellow.

• Angelescu: If you were in our place and it was 1-2 in the derby at your home and that penalty was not awarded, you would take it in stride. I feel that Radu Petrescu is the most anti-rapidist referee for us.

• MM: Anti-rapidist does not mean FCSB-ist or starist. Well, he is a CFR-ist, because he made them champions. He invented a foul on Beto and he missed the ball. Radu Petrescu will never be red-blue in his life.

• Angelescu: White-cherry is not safe.

• MM: I am convinced that it is not, but in no case is it ours, if we had it (no – laughs). We have so many mistakes against us, that I can't believe that someone still says that a referee is a star player, FCSB-ist or I don't know what else. The man should have been removed from arbitration since then (no – from Voinţa Sibiu – CFR Cluj), he should have been removed from arbitration since then.

• Angelescu: Here we agree”, was the dialogue between the two, according to orangesport.ro.
