Avellino fined for sarcasm

By Football Italia staff

Serie B side Avellino had been fined €1,000, after the announcer at their stadium made sarcastic comments about the amount of time added on.

The Irpini beat Perugia 2-0 yesterday to move above Pescara into 16th place in the second division.

It appears though that their stadium announcer was less than enamoured with the seven minutes added on at the end of the fixture.

As the home fans fumed over the added time, the announcement over the tannoy sarcastically declared there would be 12 minutes of injury time.

In today’s disciplinary report, the Lega Serie B has hit Avellino with a €1,000 fine for after “the stadium announcer, in the course of a communication to the public, was sarcastic about the injury time added on by the match referee in the second half”.
