Francisco J. Marquez once again complains about the “difference in treatment” from the Disciplinary Board – FC Porto

Francisco J. Márquez has once again turned to social networks Porto and Sporting respectively. “This is conclusive evidence of the difference in the treatment of the Disciplinary Board in relation to clubs in the same competition. In April, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa wrote in the magazine Draguis: ‘I believe this may allow us to achieve our goal,’ as long as sporting truth prevails in all matches, Which did not always happen this year. Benfica filed a complaint and CD opened disciplinary proceedings, which were later archived because there was clearly no disciplinary connection with this referee. In December, Federico Varandas said: “If he was evaluated only based on Sporting's matches It might fall. “I think he was often unfortunate…Sporting were often unlucky with him.” In cases of much less severe criticism, the CA reacted and informed me via the FPF’s communications department that it had filed a complaint complaint,” the FC Porto communications director began writing, questioning the alleged difference in the disciplinary board’s standards.

“The opening of disciplinary procedures, as stipulated in the regulations, is more or less automatic, since according to Articles 225 and 226, only anonymous reports, or those that are not related to concrete facts, are filed without the need for disciplinary procedures, which is What is not the case is what Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa wrote or what Federico Varandas said, so why was this simple sentence from the FC Porto president postponed to the establishment of a disciplinary process and the more serious statements made by Federico Varandas,” says Gilberto Madil, at the door the horse? The bad luck with him is to say loud and clear and with all the messages that Joao Pinheiro has systematically harmed Sporting, even giving the idea that it was intentional. I will not remain silent about my right to resent this abnormal behavior, with this difference in treatment that stands out and requires explanations. The disciplinary process against Federico Varandas had to be opened, and then it could be archived, but it had to be opened. Personally, I even agree with archiving, because I am a defender of freedom of expression and the right to criticism, but this difference in treatment cannot be accepted, especially in secret,” Francisco J. Márquez continued, concluding his post by saying: “Sports struggle is never limited to the field.” “.

“When it is said that FC Porto's successes are achieved by fighting against everything and everyone, it is because these things always happen, sporting struggle is never limited to the pitch, and there are always more sinister explanations when it comes to FC Porto's champions. Porto, whether they are The president, the coach, the simple communications director, the behavior of the fans, etc., etc. See for example, how this issue attracts so little attention in the media in Lisbon, which is almost the country as we know it well,” concluded the Porto official.
