Sporting CP are submitting a series of proposals to the League General Assembly on Tuesday that the Lions see as contributing to the improvement of Portuguese football. We are talking about the introduction of surgical changes, but with a strong impact on the various rules in force, from competition to discipline, including arbitration.
Pause at the right time
One of the topics that is included in the Sporting package, you know. Write downassociated with the execution of punishments. The Alvalade Club wants to end the holiday suspension once and for all, a situation that has been repeating itself over the past few years.
In this sense, Lviv officials are proposing today at Porto that suspensions be carried out without fail between the dates of the first and last official game of each season. In other words, they want me to stop counting the interval between the last official game of one season and the first game of the next, i.e. holidays, in order to comply with the sanctions for a period of time. The aim will be, first of all, to give authority to the discipline.
At the limit, for example, a 30-day suspension that began 15 days before the official season close will only be implemented 15 days after the start of a new campaign. If the proposal is approved, it still needs to be ratified by the FPF as this is a clause in the rules of the discipline.
Audio in evidence
Another suggestion, which is part of Sporting’s presentation at the AG da Liga, and which has been the reason for the club over the past few months, is related to the communications of the refereeing teams. The Lions have been staunch supporters of access to audio, especially in appeals of punishment to the Disciplinary Board. Now they want this issue to be discussed at the League’s general assembly, knowing that if approved, it must also be ratified by the Federation, since this concerns, in this case, the arbitration rules.
In particular, I found Write down, the lions intend that the recording of the communication of the refereeing team, including the video of the referee, can be used as evidence in the context of disciplinary proceedings. The article, which Sporting will submit to the Liga AG for consideration and vote, also provides that each club can request access to the aforementioned messages only in the games in which it has participated; that is, he could only request recordings of the referees’ conversations in his games, in every game day, and not in the games of third parties. For a better understanding, Sporting CP will not request messages from referees for Benfica or Porto matches in which he did not participate.
The Greens and Whites also understand that the recordings may be for the purpose of evaluating elements of the refereeing team as well as training refereeing agents.
Bank exchange
The third idea that Sporting want to discuss in the League on Tuesday is only subject to the approval of the clubs (without ratification by the FPF), as it is subject to competition rules.
The lion emblem believes that it would be important to take measures to minimize the pressure of the home teams on the referee, and to this end, it will propose to the AG to change the location of the benches: the visiting team will occupy the next bench. assistant referee no.
