An inexperienced referee, namely Livio Marinelli, has been assigned to officiate the game between AC Milan and Bologna on Monday. It’s a decision that hasn’t gone down too well with the Rossoneri, which you can understand.
Milan have had their issues with inexperienced referees at the San Siro this season and with just eight games remaining, they don’t need any more drama. We all remember the officiating against Spezia that ended up costing the Rossoneri three points, for example.
Marinelli has only officiated ten Serie A games in his career and Monday’s game will be his first involving Milan. It’s a decision that certainly can be questioned given that everything is at stake right now, as opposed to earlier in the season.
Calciomercato.com reported earlier his week that Milan aren’t too happy with the decision but there is nothing they can do about it, ultimately. It’s clear that another poor performance would create huge problems for AIA (referees’ association), though.
