Massa’s performance in Como-Roma praised by Italian referees | OneFootball

The referee evaluation system must be changed.

It’s already in the draft program of the new Italian-style PGMOL, but even if the revolution desired by Gravina doesn’t materialize next season, it’s a perverse mechanism that must be changed.

And, as Corriere dello Sport writes, if you were surprised by the 8.50 that one of Rocchi Gervasoni’s assistants gave to referee Manganiello after the Inter-Atalanta defeat, then who knows how you’ll feel to learn that the referee observer of the ill-fated CON awarded Massa, the match official for Como-Roma, a whopping 8.70! That is, according to the tables available to those who must judge a referee, the maximum possible. With full justification.

While reading it, try reviewing the Ligurian referee’s game, especially from Wesley’s second yellow onward. Well, he gives it 8.70 because: “He refereed excellently! A high-level performance. He oversaw a difficult match well, due to disputes and/or incidents that were assessed correctly and resolved brilliantly. He showed great personality – EXCELLENT technical and disciplinary management… insignificant flaws in a quality match officiating.”

The CON (Prof, National Referee Observers Commission) was created under the Trentalange/Bagloni administration; its purpose was to monitor the referees’ performance. In short, a political instrument that immediately demonstrated its uselessness.

Today, they represent one of the evils of a world that is crumbling under their own blows. The rating given to Massa is scandalous, especially when compared to the one given to Guida, who officiated Lazio-Milan on Sunday evening.

Yes, because both got 8.70, it’s a shame that one of them completely missed a second yellow, which had a heavy impact on the match, losing serenity and clarity.
