Video: Italian soccer makes ‘miming a violin’ a sending-off offence
mainRoma coach Rudi Garcia was dismissed by the referee in the match against Juventus on Sunday after pretending to play a violin. He was thought to be disputing a dubious penalty decision.
Since when has violin playing been considered an offensive gesture?
(And what do we think of Rudi’s technique?)
He appears to be playing in the “historical manner”.
Yeah, clearly a pre-chinrest Baroque player!
The bow’s placement and left-hand technique need some work.
By the way, violin playing has been considered extremely offensive by countless neighbors sharing walls with young would-be prodigies.
