APAF president reveals a “black weekend for football and refereeing” in Portugal – Arbitragem
The President of APAF, Luciano Gonçalves, resorted to social networks and listed several episodes of aggression in football and district futsal in Portugal in what he categorized as “a black weekend for football and refereeing”. “The sad, frustrated, imbeciles, ignorant, cowardly, weak, silly, unhappy and wild people took to the streets, or rather went to football and district futsal”, condemned the leader.
Read the message in full:
Black weekend for football and refereeing.
The sad, frustrated, imbeciles, ignorant, cowardly, weak, silly, unhappy and wild people took to the streets, or rather went to soccer and district futsal.
How is it possible for people like this to continue to be part of the sport.
Watch the episodes of this dark weekend:
– Thiago Cardoso Silva, Arsenal 72 DC team delegate from AF Lisboa who attacked the match referee, fortunately was soon arrested and will appear in court tomorrow morning;
– Miguel Ângelo Costa do Silves FC from AF Algarve cowardly attacked the referee;
– Diogo Miguel Soares player from Atlético Povoense from AF Lisboa attacked the referee with violence in the head;
– An imbecile supporter of Romariz FC from AF Aveiro attacked the assistant referee with a stone;
– Marcos António Santos Duarte player from CR Chãs from AF Leiria cowardly attacks the referee in a futsal game;
– A Salgueiros fan from AF Porto enters the pitch grabbing the referee’s equipment and tries to attack the youngster in an under 15 game;
– in update…
How is it possible, how long will it continue? We are all negligent and one day we are all going to have our hands stained, we are doing it, we are fighting it, there are condemnations, but it is being too little.
Left to finalize the reflection, could these cowardly attitudes of these ignorant people influence the perception of yesterday’s game? If so, even more foolish and weak they are…
I ask the judicial entities, Disciplinary Councils and Football Associations to be famous and exemplary with the punishments and punishments for criminals, it is the least.
I wish the best and a lot of strength to all the referees and refereeing teams involved in these sad episodes.”
