The refereeing controversy in Italy has flared up again as a result of the recent 3-3 draw between Inter and Roma as well as comments made after the match by a number of interested parties.
According to a survey conducted by Observations on Arbitration Errors, in collaboration with Adiconsum, since the beginning of the 2008-09 campaign, 171 points would have been rearranged due to the 163 officiating mistakes.
The hypothetical rankings have Milan at the top of the standings with 53 points, plus five from their current tally, while the Fiorentina, would be in second spot with 51.
Meanwhile, Juventus would fall one place into third, having benefited from a few refereeing decisions this term and Inter would lose a rather significant 11 points from their current status, dropping down to fourth place.
Of course, this is just one study with it's own limitations, but certainly it's findings will fuel the criticism of the officiating throughout the peninsula.
The biggest "Mistakes" for Inter:
Round 1: Ibrahimovic uses his hand to gain advantage and score against Samdporia
Round 8: Maicon makes a horrible red card tackle against Mesto, in the game against Genoa, but nothing is done :bye2:
Round 9: Burdisso fouls Pazzini in the penalty box, but no penalty for Fiorentina:whistling:
Round 10: Cordoba fouls Corradi as a last defender, and guess what. not even a foul:specool:
Round 11:Cordoba strikes again , against Inler, but again he escapes.:blink:
Round 13: Foul on Marchionni by Muntari , in the penalty box. No penalty though.:whistling:
Round 14: Foul on Lavezzi, by Samuel, again in the penalty box, and again no penalty.:whistling:
Round 15: Ibrahimovic scores a goal against Lazio..............from a big offside.:blink:
Round 17: Decisive gol by Maicon against Siena.................from an even bigger offside.
Round 20: Adriano punches Gastaldello in the game against Sampdoria, no foul , but the play goes on and he scores an important goal.
Round 24: Adriano scores a goal with the use of his hand against Milan. Chivu fouls INzaghi in the penalty box, but nothing given.:whistling:
Round 26: An invisible penaly given to Inter at a foul on Balotelli in the match against Rome.
