Dr. Pimenta Machado president of Guimaraes for the last 30 years, blames it on the Boavista players, and conduct at games at Alverca, Rio Ave and Pacos Ferreira
was not happy with the nomination of the referee for the game, also didn't have any kind words for the Government and his willing to go all the way to the Portuguese Parlament, if they intend to clean portuguese Soccer once and for all.
Futebol – Acontecimentos de Guimarães: «Violência foi premeditada», garante Pimenta Machado
Pimenta Machado reagiu hoje, pela primeira vez, aos acontecimentos registados em Guimarães na noite de domingo e suas consequências. «Não poderia fazer como a avestruz», justifica o dirigente vimaranense que «dispara» para as mais diversas direcções.
Governo, presidente da Arbitragem da Liga e Boavista são os principais alvos.
Falando esta manhã em conferência de imprensa, o presidente do Vitória insistiu por várias vezes que se tratou de «violência premeditada».
«O Governo tem que ir mais a fundo, demonstrou que está atento ao futebol, o que saúdo, mas terá que ir mais longe, aprofundar as questões, tem que saber qual é o tipo de violência que se vai registando no futebol português. Aliás, eu próprio já o havia sugerido. Há violência provocada. Toda a gente sabe que o futebol é um jogo de paixões. Compete ao Governo saber porque é que a violência está a ser provocada».
Pimenta Machado anunciou depois que vai à Assembleia da República «para dar o meu contributo no sentido de que esta grave situação seja superada de uma vez por todas».
Mais à frente, o líder vitoriano referiu aos jornalistas que o que se passou em Guimarães «é também consequência da indignação dos sócios do Vitória.»
Pimenta Machado «virou a agulha» e passou a falar da problemática da arbitragem. «Os senhores deputados têm poder para alterar a Lei. A arbitragem está na Liga mas tem de sair do organismo. Terá que ser autónoma», frisou.
O presidente do Vitória de Guimarães comenta a nomeação de Paulo Baptista para o jogo entre «dois rivais». Para o líder vitoriano «o presidente da Comissão de Arbitragem da Liga errou ao nomear Paulo Baptista e não teve bom senso nem prudência. Ao fazê-lo, demonstrou ou incompetência ou compadrio ou atitudes prossecutórias em relação ao Vitória. O Governo e a Assembleia da República têm de estar atentos a isto. O responsável pelos árbitros da Liga sabia muito bem que havia um contencioso entre o clube que dirijo e o sr. Paulo Baptista».
Pimenta insiste na elaboração de um inquérito e revela «estar preocupado» alertando as pessoas «para defesa do clube e dos seus associados que são pessoas sérias».
«Para que o Governo dê uma imagem de imparcialidade e tratar todos os cidadãos em pé de igualdade e não só em relação àqueles que estão mais perto dele e o pressiona tem realmente que aprofundar as causas e verificar o que se passou. A ser assim, chegarão os governantes à conclusão que esta violência é provocada em virtude do despotismo e tráfico de influências que campeiam na Liga».
Negando que tenha tentado pressionar o árbitro do Guimarães-Boavista através das suas declarações prestadas a meio da semana antes da partida, Pimenta Machado refere que «foram os dirigentes do Boavista a afirmar na sexta-feira que não gostavam da nomeação».
Referindo-se ainda ao clube do Bessa, Pimenta Machado fala de «lastros de violência por onde o Boavista passa». «Estou-me a lembrar do Rio Ave, do Paços de Ferreira, do Alverca, por exemplo».

Portugal toughens laws after players, fans brawl at league game
February 03, 2004
LISBON (AP) - Embarrassed by a flare-up of soccer violence at a domestic league game less than five months before it hosts Euro 2004, Portugal is cracking down on unruly fans and clubs.
The government and soccer authorities said after an emergency meeting late Monday they planned stadium bans for fans convicted of violence and intended to prohibit club officials from making inflammatory statements ahead of games.
The Professional Soccer League accused police of being disorganized and taking too long to halt the violence at a first division game between Guimaraes and Boavista on Sunday.
Players brawled on the pitch after the final whistle, then angry fans threw coins and chairs at match officials and later clashed with police outside the stadium. Several people were injured, including a Boavista player, and officials from the two clubs argued heatedly and shoved each other.
Professional Soccer League president Valentim Loureiro said the incidents brought "a bad image for Portugal and its soccer" and harmed the country's credibility.
Soccer Federation president Gilberto Madail said he was "concerned and embarrassed" by the fighting.
The government minister overseeing the organization of the European championship, Jose Luis Arnaut, said Portugal had "extra responsibilities" as host of the tournament and must show it could tackle soccer-related violence.
He promised new laws by the end of the month.
The Soccer League banned Guimaraes' stadium for 30 days and was considering a longer ban.
Players and fans contested the referee's performance. At the end players brawled and fans ripped up plastic seats, which they hurled at the referee and linesmen.
The 30,000-seat stadium is to host two group games during the Euro 2004 soccer championship starting in June.
The Soccer League's disciplinary committee said in a statement that "only luck prevented further violence, given the lack of action and regrettable lack of coordination of the police."
The statement added: "All this is to be condemned and goes beyond a simple league game, damaging Euro 2004's credibility."
The police claimed they intervened after 12 minutes and planned to view footage from security cameras to identify violent fans.

Good. I must admit that Portugal is not known for violent fans though.
