ALESSANDRO DEL Piero has remained philosophical despite the controversial refereeing decision in Juve's 4-1 defeat to Lazio on Sunday.

The Juve legend has remained impartial admitting that every team gets an unfavourable decision by a referee once in a while. He said: "I don't want to put the referee on trial. I know our fans are angry for all of this but everyone makes a slip sometimes. This time the mistakes happened to be made during an important match and the referee's decisions were against us, but this doesn't mean that there is a conspiracy against Juve just like there has never been any conspiracy against other squads. Collina did make a mistake."  But I can honestly say that at the end of the season the favourable and unfavourable decisions you get throughout the season are about the same. I think we should all realise that even the referees can make mistakes at times."
