Sunday sees the return of Paparesta to take control of the Lazio/Ascoli game. One of the two officials to be properly banned for their roles in the Moggiopoli scandal, it seems a little too soon for the man to be back on the pitch. Paparesta's ban lasted 77 days (just 18 days more than Dermot Gallagher endured for not sending off Thatcher for the assault on Mendes). Of the eight officials initially banned, only De Santis remains sidelined. On a trading level, we're delighted to see the man return - we read Paparesta events very well indeed.
