SAD Leonina has no intention of meeting with Luís Godinho, referee of the controversial Famalicão-Sporting (2-2) and responds to a statement issued by the APAF, which asked that the language used in criticizing the judges be “prohibited, in a once and for all “.

The decisions of the referee Luís Godinho and VAR Artur Soares Dias, in Famalicão-Sporting, remain on the agenda, with the lions at war in the referee class. The Portuguese Association of Soccer Referees (APAF) did not escape either. Due to the criticisms made in the 48 hours that followed the duel of the ninth day of the League, the president Frederico Varandas, the coach Ruben Amorim, the midfielder João Mário and the head of Sports Communication, Miguel Braga, will be targets of disciplinary participation carried out by the Council. Arbitration (CA) and APAF, according to the usual procedure. Next, it will be up to the Disciplinary Council to assess whether the content of the words spoken is punishable.

The entity chaired by Luciano Gonçalves issued a statement to repudiate the “language used” in criticizing the referees, hoping that it would be “prohibited, once and for all,” by the disciplinary bodies, but without mentioning the names of the recipients.

On Sporting TV, Miguel Braga ironically challenged the position of the APAF: “It is to be consistent. When Sporting speaks, APAF reacts, when others speak it is silent. It is the double criterion that we complain about off and on the field.”

Miguel Braga, who has challenged the CA on Twitter and has pointed out several errors in the arbitration of Luís Godinho to the detriment of Sporting, shot this referee: “If I want to see him whistle more Sporting games? No, I don’t want to.” The Leonino official did not say whether SAD would proceed with a formal veto request from Godinho. “We have already lost four points and it was not due to the opponent’s merit,” he concluded about the matches with Famalicão and FC Porto, both directed by judge AF Évora.
