Your employees saved you 2 points it seems.
After rewatching all the controversial plays I'd have given a pen to Rayo on the Fort/Mumin play. I understand now why Rayo's offside was given. They still need to score the pen though and resist 30 more minutes of Barcelona all out attacks for the 2 point thing to happen.

I'll take the help though, only to see Roncero foaming at the mouth, it's worth it.
 
Didn’t see the match yet, but saw after the fact that Kounde was taken out of the team for being late and it apparently wasn’t the first time.
It was a hard watch to be fair, I thought only Szczesny, Martinez and Pedri, maybe Balde, played at the level I expect from Barcelona players...

Are you really defending that ref? He should absolutely be suspended a long time. But, hey, as long as he is a good employee to you, I guess you do not care.
I get this is a new shtick but how in the world is it ok to suspend a ref for a red card after the player cusses him out?

Man apply the rules fairly Xavi got red carded repeatedly for yelling at refs.

Lewa stuck his nose up and clapped sarcastically was suspended for 4 games.

I get that you’re a Madrid fan but some semblance of objectivity is necessary to have a conducive conversation otherwise it’s just two idiots on twitter thumping their chest

As I said this weekend. Difficult to know if the sending off of Jude was warranted or not. I will give the ref the benefit of the doubt for that one.

But all the other bad calls? No.

My problem is what the volume of his incomptence not with any call in particular and now, a potential conflict of interest has been found. The guy should be removed until all investigations are done.

He said f*** off to the ref... this is Jude's own words.

It hardly warrants an investigation. Had madrid scored ghost goals that costs them the title would you like to put him on death row?

Hardly new though the ref that sent of Ronaldo had the same issue.

The investigation is about his company's ties to Atleti, mostly.

His performance review has already happened (the red card is one of many controversial calls - 3 missed penalties, a half-dozen of cynical fouls not called, including an elbow to Mbappé's chest). If it is determined he needs to sit out a few games, so be it, it was a terrible performance. I'll give him that Vini flops so much that it is hard to give HIM the benefit of the doubt when he is contacted in the box.

The way Jude said he said "f*** off" is akin to saying "are you f***ing kidding me". If that deserve a straight red, there would be a lot of games finishing 8 on 8 :laugh: That being said, Jude as a history of complaining and we cannot ask a native Spanish speaker to understand the nuances of the English language. Jude should have been more careful. But, again, that's one of a dozen of bad calls during the game. Guy definitely deserves to sit out a week or two.

I do not think there is a conspiracy against us, that'd be dumb. I do believe La Liga has terrible reffing though.

Honestly one of your worst posts.

So because people are stupid and harassing the guy, he did not have a bad game?

Not sure I get your point. He called a shit game. Does not mean he should be harrassed, but he did call a shit game.

Real Madrid TV should indeed, for lack of a better expression, "f*** off". Their croissade against refs certainly is not helping. Last two games were badly officiated, but the way they are putting the spotlight on the refs is too much.

Anyway, enjoy the title. No way we get a fair shake with everything that is going on and we are not beating you head to head the way the games have went this year. Carlo won't adjust. Hopefully we can pull off a miracle in the CL, but I doubt it.
 
No he missed a call for celta in the cdr game and wasn’t subjected to an “investigation” Madrid bitching is on brand. The reffing in this league has been piss poor mostly favouring the big sides. One “bad” game against Madrid and they’ll lynch him. It would make refs think twice calling something against Madrid which is their point. The investigation is bull shit.
 
Giving somebody a straight red for cussing at him is insanity. Now I am reading that Jude might be suspended 12 games because of it, even though the ref in question has been removed from active duty. Enough of that nonsense. 12 games is like physically assaulting a ref, not telling him to f*** off lol.

Ah, but you see there is the problem. He only said “f*** off” and not “f*** you”.

Surprised the HFBoards Jude Fan Club hasn’t come in yet. I mean at least @S E P H is man enough to embarrass himself.

It was a hard watch to be fair, I thought only Szczesny, Martinez and Pedri, maybe Balde, played at the level I expect from Barcelona players...

So it sounds. I’ll still watch it anyway. At least the players’ post-match comments seem to be owning their performance and admitting they’ll need to be better going forward.

Footballers are some of the biggest divas and bitch attitudes in all of sports, thinking you wouldn't get cussed out as a ref is insanity. It comes with the territory.
 
Madrid for being such a classy club as they like to describe themselves have been showing a super whiny and childish attitude for the last couple of years.
Embarrassed if I was a Real fan


And before you all come and quote me, I have been embarrassed by my team before too
 
Speh getting 12 games out of his…. Same place he gets his transfer rumours.

Jude ends up with 2 game suspension. Less than lewa but not nothing. We will see if the ref is allowed to ever ref again in la liga.
