La Liga 24/25 thread

Ref has been f***ing terrible all game, not calling 1 clearly penalty + half a dozen cynical fouls.

You're just used to refs giving out fouls for every little brush on Real's players. Ref's been amazing.

Something strange is happening. You simply don't see these calls happening against Madrid. Behind the scenes stuff is the only thing i can think of... im truly shocked.

Glad to see your check cleared and your employee is delivering for you.

I do not remember seeing a player being sent off for words. I am sure it happened before, but I cannot point to one. Unless he was UBER rude, a straight red seems pretty f***ing harsh.

I am all for players getting yellows for dissent, but a straight red? He better have said something really bad.

Diego Costa against Barcelona, just off the top of my head. He also got an eight match ban but both of us know La Liga will more more lenient towards Jude.

It’s definitely happened before. Given Jude’s antics his abuse of refs last week this was coming. He’s acting like a rich boy who’s never heard the word no. It’s well deserved. I’m just shocked it’s happening along with the other Madrid calls. Something is up , it has to be. Tebas and Flo fighting?

We asked for more transparency with VAR... after publishing videos exposing refs after many games.

That's is what is happening. It was honestly a bad strategy to be so confrontational. It was always going to end up bitting us in the ass. Refs will, at best, be unconsciously biased against us now. Nobody likes being called an incompetent in public.

I think Real is winning this anyway, Osasuna's back line except Catena is ass, so I expect them to be caught on a counter or two, and Budimir, who is their only offensive weapon, is missing more chances than he did all year.

 

[Sad People]

Shots already away i dont see how thats a red but i dont understand the rules

 

[Scandale du Jour]

So blocking the shot results in a penalty?

The initial call was a corner because... Cama touched the ball therefore preventing the goal. He got the player after. I would not complain if VAR at least reviewed the threee potential penalty in the first half.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Just crown Barca already that kind of bullshit will happen the rest of the season.

 

[luiginb]

Thank God for VAR

Budimir, who is their only offensive weapon, is missing more chances than he did all year.

At least he could score from the spot

Embarrassing dive from Vinicius, 2 m away from the ref, no yellow card of course

Without going over every call, nothing Madrid has been called for is egregious. Its just that 50/50 calls are not going their way which we are not used to. Its pretty stupid to call out refs when they have been on your side so yeah.

What angers me is what was not called, not what was.

I have no clue what Jude said, so he might have deserved a red.

The penalty on Camavinga. He got the player and you can argue that he was lucky to even touch the ball. You wanna call that, ok.

But the countless fouls that were not called, 4 potential penalties not reviewed.

I guess it is the sum of it all that makes it frustrating, none of the individual calls.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Its refreshing to see it for non Madrid fans. Its not fun when you dont play with 12 players lol

Cules are satisfied employers. They are getting exactly what they are paying for.

If that is what you want to describe what the ref is doing, fair enough

Barca is broke but Barca can also pay for the refs. We not broke we are “broké “… Madrid math like girl math but better

I have to admit I admire Ancelotti's courage, I've never seen a coach keep 3 strikers on the pitch at all time after going to 10 men in the first half. He can see this is a toothless Osasuna side (heck, I'm not even familiar with half the players they have on the pitch right now) who's not even playing that well today and he's still going for the kill and the 3 points.
