ARMENIAN FOOTBALL FEDERATION APPEALS ITURRALDE GONZALEZ'S REFEREEING
- On his Facebook page, President of the Football Federation of Armenia Ruben Hayrapetyan reports that the Federation appealed the refereeing of Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez, who was the referee of the Republic of Ireland's 2-1 win over Armenia in the last Euro 2012 qualifying match. His decision to send off Armenian goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky for a handball early in the game was criticized by some reporters, who believe the decision may have cost Armenia qualification. Forward of the Irish squad Simon Cox admitted later that Roman Berezovsky had not touched the ball with his arm. Hayrapetyan thanked all the football fans supporting the Armenian team even if it does not win. "We have appealed the referee's decision. But I am more concerned over Berezovsky's red," he said. As to an alleged order by the United European Football Association (UEFA), Hayrapetyan said that any order of out of the question. Michel Platini is not the person to do such a thing, he added.
