Tiago Silva: “A league tainted by a scandalous breach of the rules” | OneFootball

The atmosphere of controversy surrounding refereeing and competitive management in Portuguese football has intensified once again, in a context marked by accusations of favoritism, disputed disciplinary decisions and successive controversial episodes.

In the last few hours, Tiago Silva, a commentator identified with FC Porto, wrote the following on his Twitter account:

“One competition (the League) distorted by a scandalous breach of the regulations which, at the request of the establishment club, postponed a match when it could not do so and for which, as of today, it is not even certain when it will be played. Another competition distorted (the Cup) by one of the biggest refereeing disgraces of the last many years. And I’m not even talking about the assaults that referees say they see but leave unpunished, the suspensions that come out when most convenient, or the orders that go straight to FC Porto matches.There is no bleach that can disinfect the rot into which Portuguese football has sunk.”

A stance which, in the commentator’s view, reflects the widespread feeling among FC Porto supporters on this issue.
