The law states that the payment has to be with the understanding that you get something back, I believe, so influence in your favour or something. The context of the gifts would need to be analysed, in general I agree. Gifts and receptions of referees should really be completely banned in...

Could well be because club is bang to rights on these new charges if im honest. As they have determined Negreira is a public official all they have to do is prove we attempted to bribe him and not that we even gained anything from it. The club itself in its statements to the Tax Agency said...

The investors in the Camp Nou have a buyout clause saying that if Barcelona receive criminal convictions linked to the Negreira situation, they can demand immediate early repayment. This is really more serious than the media or Laporta has led people to believe.

So the judge has officially charged us with bribery of a public official, that is Negreira, and the CTA/RFEF have been deemed to be public bodies due to the service they out in regulating the sport of football. They ordered a search of the RFEF offices today under the powers of the new charge...

I didn't see this before but no this is utterly wrong. They are investigating the case on the basis of the functions that Negreira carried out as vice president of the CTA, which has been confirmed to have carried out important roles such as rating the referees. There isnt an investigation into...

Depends, what's the overall goal, where do we want to be as a club, are we going in the right direction. I feel like we're in the third season now and still have no established identity and still chopping and changing tactics to find what works. It doesnt feel like the project will win titles...

It depends what they achieve. If Michel makes a title race with Girona that's nonsense. How can it possibly be harder to compete for a title with Barcelona than Girona. Your post makes sense in clubs where they have radically reduced expectations, like finishing top10 or in EL spots or...

Girona are legit. They might seriously contend for the title.

Joselu could have a hat-trick.

Las Palmas will probably play their style against us as well. With that said, Madrid are just more beatable and have more holes defensively.

He did clutch out the win for us against Celta tho, so there is that. We'll have to see if Roque improves him.

Serghei said himself last year league was 50/50... fast forward and Madrid's squad has got some way worse whilst ours got better... and somehow its now tilted in their favour despite being 50/50 before and improvements made.

Not sure why you're liking this @serghei since according to you we will never ever overtake Madrid so might as well stop trying, they are just too mighty.

True. Theres so much rotation that players are getting confused and just end up playing someone elses position on the break. 2 fullbacks who dont defend because of their instructions then a DM who is like a cone. Basically just left with 2-3 defenders on every break.

“If that is a penalty, as my friend Medina Cantalejo would say, it is a soft penalty. You could call it, yes. There is contact and the referee has a messed up job. The boy is already intending to go down… It is not enough to fall. It is messed up being a referee, they [the players] constantly...

Its because it wasnt what he actually said. I would be careful reading suspicious quotes from those Barca aggregators because they translate things wrong with Google Translate and share the same incorrect quotes. He said, there is a little contact, but it is a PENALTITO, meaning a soft/small...

Truth is, Xavi is better at defense than attack, a lot better. He is trying to coach a more attacking style now but we concede too much. I also think he should just go back to the system that worked for now.

Beginning to think Serghei is just a troll at this point and we're feeding him every day when we reply.

Girona actually become the leaders ahead of both if they win. Will be funny if they end up being relevant in the title race.

We have weaknesses, but Madrid have just as many problems if not more, they will drop plenty of points as well. Dont see them getting 80 or more really so we should be good if we match that.
