Football club Budućnost reacted in a timely manner and a day after one of the most serious incidents in the club's history, they suspended goalkeeper Đorđi Pavličić, who after the derby with Sutjeska - hit teammate Igor Ivanovic with an open palm on an open stage.
The announcement of Buducnosti, however, does not provide more specific details - what kind of suspension it is, how long it will last, whether until the final decision is made...
The media unofficially announced that Pavličić was suspended for three months and with 20 percent of the monthly salary. If those allegations are true, then it would be a clear message for the club to count on its goalkeeper for the next season - such a suspension would expire at the end of July, just when the next Montenegrin championship will start. Pavličić could also "catch" some European matches, if, of course, Buducnost wins Europe, and he would only miss the remaining four matches of the current championship, as well as the final of the Cup.
And while it is expected that Buducnost will be determined more concretely, we can remember how the Podgorica club reacted when things like this, or similar things, happened in the past. For example, in 2008, the then "blue" footballer Miodrag Zec hit the team's physiotherapist on the bus - he was immediately expelled from the club, the then coach Miodrag Ješić no longer wanted him in the team.
There is every chance that Pavličić, at least for now, has avoided such a scenario, but we have to wait.
DON'T MISS IT
What is clear is that the 27-year-old goalkeeper faces a penalty from the Football Association, and it could be much more severe than the one "measured" by the club, provided, of course, that the mentioned three months are correct.
The match delegate stated in his report that a few minutes after the end of the match, there was a serious incident on the field between the players of Budućnost and it is clear that the case will soon be processed by the FSCG Disciplinary Commission.
And what does the Disciplinary Lawlink say?
In article 63, which falls under the category "physical attack on a player", it says the following:
1) a player who physically attacks his or an opponent on the field of play or outside the field of play will be subject to a disciplinary measure:
- playing ban of 2-6 games,
and in more serious cases, when it is established that he injured the player or had the intention of causing him a serious injury:
- playing ban of 4-12 games,
- playing ban from 6 months to 2 years,
- expulsion from the football organization.
2) a disciplinary measure is imposed for the attempt.
It is clear, therefore, that Pavličić faces a punishment from the football organization, it remains to be seen under which category of the mentioned disciplinary commissions the incident will be treated.
It is remembered that in 2012, the then Sutjeska footballer Milorad Krivokapić was suspended for a year because after the match, in front of the locker room, he hit the player of the rival team, Budućnost, Mitar Peković. Aggravating circumstance for Krivokapić was the fact that he was in "civilian clothes" - he was doing double duty and had no right to be in the restricted area in front of the changing rooms.
