Garcia rages at goal-line officials over De Jong hand ball incident

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Rudi Garcia was left fuming after he felt his Roma side were denied a clear penalty for handball in Saturday's 0-0 draw with AC Milan. Roma were hoping to reach Serie A's mid-season break just a point behind leaders Juventus. However, Milan left Stadio Olimpico with a point despite playing a good chunk of the second half with 10 men after Pablo Armero was sent off in the 71st minute. Head coach Garcia believes Roma should have had the opportunity to move ahead before half-time, though, when an apparent handball by Nigel de Jong in the penalty area went unpunished by the referee and his two assistants in the Milan half. "It should be said that there was a pretty obvious handball in the area," he told Sky Sport Italia. "I've said this before but if the goal-line officials don't take responsibility for things there's no point having them."
