THE
Violent slip of Pablo Longoria in Auxerre continues to feed the news. While the Spanish leader must plead his cause before the disciplinary committee this Wednesday, a new element has completed this file in recent hours.
This is the position of the Technical Department of Arbitration about the two disputed decisions taken by Jérémy Stinat, during the match between AJA and OM on Saturday evening (3-0). The body clearly agreed to the meeting referee and his assistants.
DTA supports Mr. Stinat
On the situation of potential penalty, the DTA explains that Mr. Stinat's choice not to whistle penalty was
“The good decision” because “the defender's right foot arises on the ground outside the trajectory of the Marseille player, with the latter's right foot which comes to strike the heel of the defender”.
Regarding the second yellow card addressed to Derek Cornelius and generating his expulsion, the DTA specifies: “The images thus clearly show that the fault is committed in an inconsiderate way, that is to say without taking into account the dangerous character or the consequences of his act for his opponent (…). The Marseille player n ° 13 therefore had to be excluded from the playground ”.
An overwhelming report for OM leaders
This report obviously does not make the affairs of Pablo Longoria and Fabrizio Ravanelli, who yelled in scandal following these two specific decisions. But it should not change the sanction scale.
For his part, JĂ©rĂ©my Stinat broke the silence in the columns of the team. “” I have never received so many messages from my life, coming from former colleagues, players, presidents, delegates, other referees, or simply knowledge. It goes far beyond football. I had to have more than 300 messages. It doesn't stop, even in the middle of the night. Violence? On me, everything slips. What bothers me the most is when it touches the family, it takes the guts. We are on death threats, even beyond …“, He regretted.
