The referee’s mistake that stunned the whole football world went unpunished in the last Valencia-Elche (2-2). Pulido Santana will not go through the “refrigerator” where the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) usually rests referees after making a mistake. The referee will rule 11 Girona-Osasuna this day. Pizarro Gómez, the referee of the match against Mallorca, also made book mistakes.
Among the fans who sincerely expressed their anger on social networks, the news fell like a pitcher of cold water. David Aranda, president of the Elche Peñas Federation, expressed his opinion very politely but also very clearly in this newspaper.
between: “The fact that they don’t punish him is something that screams to heaven. There is no longer the default mistake of simply arguing and not implementing something as simple as you have to let go and it’s never too late to whistle. We should add to this that they are playing games and not punishing them with a refrigerator,” he said.
low-level arbitration
According to the president of the supporters’ clubs, the RFEF’s stance “reflects the level of Spanish arbitration and the level the Federation itself has with the Committee and the Arbitrators and Rubiales. Since arriving, rubiales He said he would clean up football and not be an example like Villar did. I believe it Villar is doing great And you should look at that.”
When asked why he thought the referee had admitted his mistake against the Elche players, Aranda replied, “It’s not very clear. I’ve seen the footage dozens of times and the referee never looks good enough to apologize. or say you made a mistake. What’s more, he seems pretty cocky when it comes to players complaining about his actions.”
About Pere Milla’s comments about the referee “Universities are people, not machines”Aranda said, “There are those who say that the player is naive or that he speaks second hand, but I do not understand his words. Pere Milla is a player who takes a lot of cards to protest the referees. I cannot understand his explanations.”
12 minute whistle
The Peñas Federation is pleased with Elche’s protest in Wednesday’s match against Real Madrid. “The whistle was heard a lot outside the stadium, because the sound stopped. After scoring the goal, there was a moment of doubt, because some tried to give encouragement, others whistled … But We are happy because there was no referee mistake on Madrid day. We are pleased that the proposal of the Fan Clubs Federation is supported by all fan clubs, this is remarkable.”
“I hope we don’t have to complain again, like Madrid’s day, you can win or lose, but the referee always goes unnoticed,” says Aranda. But right now “Elche has to make a formal complaint to the Technical Referee Committee, the RFEF and LaLiga. Elche cannot be allowed to be less than four points short of very, very serious, obvious mistakes., against Mallorca and Valencia. Elche, with 3 points plus 4 points, would be in a situation where we would all sign right now. Without the tension that exists now to face the next four finals. We would be much more comfortable. Elche must defend what is theirs.”
