Just a confirmation of what many have been saying for years now...Primera refereeing is shite, on top of being heavily influenced by the capital
There's another stat that goes on from Cruyff era. Since then Madrid has 48 more penalties than Barca.
I know most of us say things at the heat of the moment during the games but these latest fouls on Messi in the box that went unsanctioned make you wonder. Rami's challenge at Mestalla directly cost us 2 points.
Them playing you off the park also did cost you 2 points, and just to confirm that Valencia really wanted those 2 points away from you, they had Guita deny you point black, twice.
Raed, why dont you use this emotion ? >
No, I refuse to use the emoticon, the confusion on members like Deco 20 it too hilarious too pass on
Eduardo Iturralde González announced his retirement. He had planned to retire at the end of the season. However, his injury which occurred while officiating the match between Real Betis and Real Madrid prompted him to retire earlier than planned.
In my opinion, he was one of the better referees and I liked the way he controlled the games.
i liked him too. i love referees who have some character. what the lacked physically he made up with his communicaton and charisma. i'm sure he is a very intelligent guy in real life. also 18 years in the primera, not bad..
haters gonna hate ofcourse.
