AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has written to the FIGC to ask for extra officials behind the goal line in order to prevent any more mistakes from referees.
The Rossoneri have been the subject of two controversial refereeing decisions surrounding the non-awarding of goals. The first involved Sulley Muntari in the 1-1 draw with Juventus, and second occurred during the 1-1 draw away at Catania this past weekend.
Galliani wrote a letter, published on the official Milan website, to FIGC president Giancarlo Abete outlining his unhappiness at the decisions which have cost the Milan four points.
The letter reads as follows:
Dear President,
??As you well know Milan have been the victim of two refereeing injustices recently. I am referring to Milan-Juventus and Catania-Milan where two clear goals were not awarded, two goals that would have changed the final result of the matches, because the referee failed to see that the ball had completely crossed the goal line.? ?
People, including referees who are in charge of football matches, make mistakes but these recent errors are very difficult to accept despite our best efforts to remain calm and objective. Milan have suffered the same injustice not once but twice.??
I realise that the technological solutions that have been put forward by many may not be universally accepted by the system but I do not see any reason why we shouldn’t adopt the goaline judges system that UEFA regularly implements in the Champions League matches. This solution woud not upset the balance of our game and would in no way ‘alienate’ people in the same way as the proposed technological solutions. The main aim for everyone, including those who are not directly involved with the game, is to eliminate any uncertainty. I believe that what I am recommending should be implemented as soon as possible and I am convinced that you will agree with my point of view. ??I invite you to act in accordance with the above suggestions.??
Best regards
Adriano Galliani
