GdS: Suspensions likely for Milan-Bologna mishaps – the situation and why

It seems after the mistakes in AC Milan-Bologna, that two officials will be suspended for a few games. Not a help, but something.

Milan were on the end of some poor officiating last night against Bologna. Christopher Nkunku was fouled, perhaps twice, in the penalty area. The referee initially gave a yellow card and a penalty, but the officials ruled it out after VAR consultation.

Penalty punishment

Gabriele Gravina has already publically apologised, stating that the errors were as much, and that a mistake had been made. So, action is expected shortly, as Gazzetta dello Sport have written this afternoon.

Following the words, Michael Fabbri will be ‘kept away’ from VAR officiaiting for a few games after his call. Whilst Matteo Marcenaro could be rotated for the next round of fixtures, though further evaluations are required over his situation.

Of course, this does not add another goal onto Milan’s record, nor does it make the win feel any more emphatic. However, it shows that action will be taken for mistakes, which will hopefully reduce them in the future. We shall see.

A proper decisions should arrive shortly, but it is unlikely that either go without any punishment for the mistake.
