Juventus call media silence after Genoa draw
Posted Monday, March 12, 2012 by Goal.com
Juventus have enforced a media blackout on their players and staff in protest against the referee's decisions in Sunday's goalless stalemate against Genoa.
Antonio Conte's men had a goal disallowed late in the second half, when Simone Pepe was flagged offside after sending the ball past Sebastien Frey.
"Footage speaks for itself," the club said via Twitter.
Juventus coach Conte was in the stands after being given his marching orders in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Bologna.
The result against Genoa was Juventus' fourth draw on the trot and their sixth in the last eight matches, leaving the club four points adrift of leaders AC Milan, who defeated Lecce 2-0.
The Turin-based side have made no secret of their unhappiness with the standard of refereeing in their matches this season, with Conte complaining earlier in the week that his side were not awarded penalties nor fouls close to the box.
