This afternoon, the fine for Massimiliano Allegri has been revealed. However, AC Milan have also been punished by the league.
There has been a lot said about the decisions against Bologna this weekend. However, the biggest frustration will be that Milan will be punished for a mistake made by the referee. In a tense game, where a mistake is noticeable, it is understandable why frustrations may boil over.

Of course, there are limits to this. However, without the mistake, there would be no reason for the limits to be imposed.
Fines and suspensions
Nevertheless, this afternoon, Allegri has been fined €10,000 for ‘disrespecting’ the work of the VAR, as well as contesting the fourth official, as MilanNews writes. This is not the only punishment, though. In fact, the Italian will also miss the next Rossoneri match against Udinese this weekend.
It is the second game that he will miss through suspensions, given he missed the opener against Bari in the Coppa Italia last month.
In addition to this, the Rossoneri themselves have been fined, after they were four minutes late for the first half. The fine is not as extreme, and they will only have to pay €5k. However, it is still frustrating.
If you’re late you’re late. There is nothing going around that. The fine is peanuts and probably worth it for the extra minutes instructing a new team. Nothing frustrating about that.
Can they appeal Allegri fine considering the circuimstance?
I don’t know why they would appeal the Allegri fine, unless he was sent off even though he was just respectfully disagreeing. Considering Milan haven’t said anything of the sort, I would imagine the ejection was warranted.
You can question and complain to the referee, but if Allegri used some offensive words, he deserves to be sent off. It’s understandable Allegri was upset, but you still have to respectful when complaining and questioning the referee. Just because the referee or VAR made a mistake doesn’t mean you can be offensive to him (or put your hands on him or do anything else against the rules).
The VAR disrespected FOOTBALL with their decision.
If a one match ban and a €10,000 fine is the appropriate penalty, so be it. I just hope the same penalty applies to Sunday’s VAR.
Milan will appeal the red card simple
Then they might risk it dragging out causing us to not having Allegri on the sideline against Napoli or Juventus in the forthcoming matches after the Udinese match so I actually doubt that they will take such risky approach but who knows.
Figc must see a problem more generous. Red card happen because of uncompetent Ref.. The mistake they have done, they just make apologize. No fine to the Ref.
While Milan do the mistake, they fined.
You can’t make this up. “Disrespecting the work of VAR”. Their work is literal sh*t. You can’t respect sh*t.
You probably didn’t have kids yet. Toddlers can make you respect their sh*t, like where the heck do they keep that stuff in their tiny bodies?!
Jokes aside, whatever he said it was immediately clear what the outcome will be – you can tell by the reaction of the 4th official.
What I don’t get is how a grown man allows himself to act like that non-stop. Yes, he is right, the VAR decision was a joke, but when someone punches you in the stomach, it’s absolutely pointless to kick yourself in the nuts. He is going to miss 2 out of the first 5 official games because of anger issues in games he won.
