the all thing is a joke i hope they lose the apeal.
True, the disciplinary comission didnīt have the balls to send Porto to the 2nd division. They came up with loads of technical and bureaucratic stuff to justify it.

Apparentelly Porto tried to bribe the refs but the Portuguese League, after reviewing the matches in question, failed to prove that the referee in question actually helped Porto. Porto won both matches confortably so probably the ref didnīt had do to anything.

In the Boavista case, the managed to spot flagrant mistakes in favour of Boavista. Ironically, Boavista lost both matches even after bribing the ref.
