Pallotta: 'Ref was disgusting'

By Football Italia staff

James Pallotta is angry with the referee after Roma's defeat to Porto: 'He was disgusting, he ruined the match'.

The Giallorossi were trounced 3-0 in the second leg of their Champions League play-off, losing 4-1 on aggregate.

While Luciano Spalletti and the players attempted to find explanations for the defeat, in particular the overabundance of red cards, the president blamed the ref.

“He was disgusting,” he said from the United States, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. “He ruined the match.

“You tell me, how can you be expected to play in 10 or in 9, what else can you expect?

“No, there won't be any repercussions, but I'll say again, I'm extremely disappointed by the referee.”
