Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo accused Roma coach Rudi Garcia of manipulating referees after seeing his side beaten 1-0 in controversial circumstances on Tuesday.
The Giallorossi won thanks to a goal which was given by the referee, though his goal-line assistant -- who was closer to the action -- felt Davide Astori's header had not fully crossed the line.
Later on, a penalty was not given to Udinese for a foul by Urby Emanuelson on Panagiotis Kone, with replays suggesting the hosts were hard done by.
According to Pozzo, the referee would have been intimidated by the reaction of Garcia and Roma had he given any of those key decisions against the Giallorossi.
"It's the same old story," Pozzo told Sky Sport Italia. "Roma don't need any help, but they have this influence. Garcia has been hammering away for a month now against the referees and he's starting to get some results.
"We need a more serene, relaxed football and not do things the Italian way; not try to be clever. Garcia tiptoed his way into Italy and suddenly he has adopted the bad habit of wanting to be clever."
Stramaccioni was more diplomatic in his assessment of the major incidents, not pointing the finger at his colleague Garcia, but at Italian football's refusal to implement goal-line technology until the start of next season.
Although the technology would not have helped Udinese directly as it would have validated Astori's goal, it would have left no doubt as to the decision, which Stramaccioni feels conditioned the remainder of the game and perhaps the thinking of the officials.
"Every other sport is evolving and turning to technology, yet football's getting left behind," he told Sky. "The game's getting faster and faster and I'd struggle if I were a referee. I've got a great deal of respect for them and they can get things wrong like I do on the bench, but let's try to help them out with technology.
"As far as I'm concerned the referee behind the goal line is there to see whether the ball has crossed the line or not and he today said it wasn't a goal. However, the referee has given it. If he's above everybody, then let's get rid of these goal-line referees because they're useless.
"Let's not reduce the game just to this, even if they were incidents which decided this very even game. We were just unlucky and the fourth official said the same at the end."
Luck was instead on Roma's side, and that has not escaped the attention of Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
His side's advantage over the Giallorossi at the top of the table was reduced to a single point on Tuesday night.
"At the end of the season, the decisions which go for and against you should even out, but for the past few months Roma have been a little bit luckier," Allegri said. "We've not had as much luck as Roma have in these past few months, but we've just got to try to win our games without giving any room for controversy."
Roma can move to the top of the table on Sunday by beating Lazio in the Eternal City derby before Juve travel to Napoli on Sunday evening.
