Abyss rejected by the referees after Roma-Toro

A bad management of the game, especially marked by that second yellow in the first quarter of an hour that left Toro in ten at the Olímpico, thus influencing the entire game and subsequent decisions.

Thus, in the assessment of the arbitration summits, the address of the referee Rosario Abisso on Thursday afternoon in Rome-Turin. A rejection that does not have immediate repercussions, because Abisso is one of the appointments for the thirteenth round of Serie A, where he will not be a referee on the field but will cover the role of fourth official at Sassuolo-Milan (tomorrow at 15, refereed by Maurizio Mariani). However, if it will be a hard blow, it will be seen in the election of the designator Nicola Rizzoli for the last day before the Christmas holidays. The “calls” for the thirteenth, so close to the previous round, were in fact already established as usual and, without considering the errors of the Abyss sensational, their designation has not been revoked. Nothing prevents this from happening on the 14th. This is probably also for “logistical” reasons: as confirmed in the past also by President Aia Marcello Nicchi, in fact, some referees were also affected by Covid since the beginning of the season, thus creating smaller numbers in the umpire pool available to Rizzoli and her team.

It remains a fact that Abyss’s refereeing, the other night in Rome, was evaluated negatively by his superiors. To load the judgment, as mentioned, it is the second yellow card for Singo’s foul on Spinazzola in the 14th minute. The whistle was excessive, the yellow that influenced everything was immense, even his subsequent elections, marked by an exacerbated severity for that mistake. All seasoned, although according to the referees, these are not errors, very unconvincing episodes such as the foul on Belotti before 1-0 and the penalty awarded to Roma by the Bremer-Dzeko contact.

If he did arrive, for Abisso it would be the first stop of the season, contrary to what has already happened this year with his teammates Giacomelli and Nasca (referee and Var of Milan-Roma) as well as Piccinini (referee of Inter-Parma) and Maresca, stopped first as Var of Inter-Parma, then as referee of Roma-Sassuolo. It is not that Abisso did not have its problems, quite the opposite: the name of Palermo, in the past had already jumped to the “honors” of the news for the night of terror of Fiorentina-Inter: two seasons ago, on February 24 In 2019, he assigned a penalty in Fiorentina for a hand from D’Ambrosio despite the fact that the monitor – who had been called for the third time by Var Fabbri- showed a clear touch with his chest. It became the first major case since the introduction of the Var in Italy. For him, in addition to the fury of the then Nerazzurri coach Spalletti, it meant a stoppage of about a month. Going back to this 2020-21, however, the path cannot be said to be clear. Rather. On the third day the first episode: Abisso is called to referee the Udinese-Roma advance. At the Dacia Arena on that occasion it was Giallorossi who ran into one of his mistakes, not corrected by Var Maresca: in the 49th minute, Pellegrini was knocked down by Arslan in the area defended by Musso. For the referee there is nothing, but the images indicate that the German hits the opponent and not the ball. Again, we are in the ninth day: on November 29 Abisso was appointed to lead the match between Milan and Fiorentina at San Siro. In those ninety minutes he conceded two penalties, both to Stefano Pioli’s team. On the first bit to say: at 25 ‘Pezzella looks for the ball but ends up hitting Saelemaekers’ foot, pointing to the point and warning the rapist. In the second, he started at 37 ‘, instead more than a doubt: Cáceres and Hernández are thrown, but only the Uruguayan from Fiorentina pays the price, with the maximum penalty. Here the Var has nothing to do with it, Abisso made a mistake on his own. Again, like Thursday at the Olympics.
