Palermo striker Fabrizio Miccoli risks a suspension after his actions during the 1-0 loss to Chievo on Sunday afternoon.

President Maurizio Zamparini already has voiced his opinion that referee Mario Mazzoleni made several mistakes during the match and it seems Miccoli agrees.

The former Benfica star believed that he should have been awarded a penalty after contact with Flying Donkey's defender Santiago Morero, but the referee waved play on.

According to Goal.com Italia, the 30-year-old was furious at the end of the match and ran straight to the fourth official yelling, "This is a massacre. Bravo. Write this in your report, go ahead, write it!"

It remains to be seen whether any action will be taken against the Italian, but there is speculation he could be banned for this weekend's clash with Cagliari.
