Former referee Graziano Cesari, during `Pressing`, commented on the refereeing incidents of Bologna-Inter: “Rule 15 states that the ball must be put back into play at the point where it crossed the perimeter lines, otherwise the throw-in goes to the other team. The ball went out of play near Inzaghi`s technical area and assistant Baccini, who could easily check if the restart of the game is correct,” – noted the former referee.
He continued, “Then there is a hand pass of the ball, and Lucumi, noticing a teammate ahead, acts excellently, after which Miranda takes a throw-in ten meters forward. The fourth official Marcenaro should also have noticed this. And the subsequent throw-in, which led to the goal, was also taken 7 meters forward, and it`s wrong. In any case, VAR cannot intervene, it could correct the position only in case of a clear mistake. The expulsions of Farris and Italiano were also inevitable.”
