That's what Italian referee Stefano Farina was saying to Pavel Nedved yesterday. After the Czech midfielder called Farina's account of Nedved's sending off a lie, the ref came out publicly to stand by his match report. The moneyquote:"I will not take it back because I confirm everything I said. I repeat what I wrote in my report. I only pointed out faithfully what happened on the field of play."From what I've been able to see, it's tough to make a call one way or the other. YouTube has a couple of camera angles, but because of the graininess, it's hard to tell how severe the foul really was (see here and here). But if you want to see Nedved hurl insults at the Genoa player and the ref, that's pretty plain to see in the second video.
If he carries out his threat and retires, then by golly, let him. Isn't the world a little tired of the Bianconeri complaining about "raw deals" by now? [Channel 4, YouTube]
