ReplyDeleteUdinese vs Inter. Last time I saw such overuse of a whistle was when Faghani reffed in the olympics. Di Bello has very annoying use of the whistle. Almost every free kick call, there are several additional whistles before play is restarted. Same on corner kicks. And he doesn’t even know how to correctly blow into a whistle.
DeleteDi Bello is not having a good game. Poor decisions. For example now, ~70'. He awarded wrongly a free kick for Inter for a handball that was not punishable in anu case. And on the counter attack a clean tackling by Carlos Augusto is wrongly whisyled as a foul and YC is awrded. He is struggling to mantain the control.
DeleteManchester - City = only YC on 11´ by Taylor is an unacceptable decision. Clear serious foul play and no VAR intervention isn’t understandable…
