Milan-Juventus: Now the bans…

The Milan-Juventus tie is set to be played out again on Monday as the sporting judge will rule on a number of controversial incidents.

While the red card handed to Arturo Vidal and the yellow to Simone Pepe during the 1-1 draw will see them banned for the next 90 minutes, they may not be alone.

Rossoneri stopper Philippe Mexes risks a three-match suspension after TV footage seems to show him punch Marco Borriello at the start of the second half.

Footage has also emerged of Sulley Muntari getting physical with Juventus right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner during the tie.

Meanwhile, Milan are claiming that Andrea Pirlo of Juventus elbowed Mark Van Bommel on two separate occasions during the encounter.

There is also a risk that Juventus boss Antonio Conte and Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani could be punished in some way for their argument during half-time.

Milan’s Massimo Ambrosini and Giorgio Chiellini of Juventus also exchanged strong opinions at the end of the game.

am i seeing things right? do they really wanna rematch?

this would be so wrong for the football.

referees ruined the spectacle and fairness of the game, whether that be muntari goal or onside matri goal, whether disciplinary situation from both sides, its the referee who didnt get the act together so they should be punished.

say this led to re-match.. should milan win there would be severe agitation, accusation from juve side, and should juve win, milan side would be infuriated, this will make things blow out of proportion. where did u get this news, i think its not true or hope its not true lol

best is to just move on, and scrutinize and penalize referee. it would be a big joke and bad for italian football if they do rematch

"set to be played out" means that post-match judgements will be made (bans for players), they are not talking about replaying the match.

oh sorry i took it in another way. right

Just let it go behind don't make this another calciopoli case

Milan defender Philippe Mexes has received a three-match ban after video evidence found him guilty of punching Juventus’ Marco Borriello at the weekend.

French centre-back Mexes was caught on camera punching former Roma teammate Borriello in the ribs, on the blind side of both the referee and his assistants, during Saturday’s clash between Milan and Juve.

After investigation, the No 5 has been handed a three-game ban and will now miss the Rossoneri’s fixtures with Palermo, Lecce and Parma.

Meanwhile, teammate Sulley Muntari and Juve midfielder Andrea Pirlo, who were both also under investigation for alleged off-the-ball clashes, have both been cleared and will not face any action.

Muntari had seemingly been caught on camera twice lashing out at Stephan Lichtsteiner, whilst Pirlo reportedly elbowed Mark Van Bommel.
