Look, both Barcelona and Madrid get away with a lot of calls
Well that would depend on what your definition of "a lot of calls" is and if you're referring to calls in general (legitimate or not) or just bad calls in their favor. There's no comparison here. Barça don't get the calls that Madrid do. That's not to mention the calls that other clubs in the league get when they're playing Barça. That's not to say that Barça never get calls they shouldn't, but it's nothing like what Madrid get and not more than all the other clubs in Spain as is sometimes wrongly perpetuated.
BUT, what Piqué has brought out in his tweets deserves a look.
Of course it does. He's right too. It clearly won't get a look and now clearly hasn't. The refs committee has, once again, closed ranks on their ****** refs. And the table would look a lot different, with Madrid not even in first place, match in hand or not.
And why the **** are teams in Spain giving gift bags to refs anyway???
Exactly. What a ridiculous practice. I've never heard of it before. Maybe Barça need to put more swag in the bag.
The normal protocol in Spain is for the home team to give "gifts" to the referee crew, however, in this instance REAL MADRID was the away team and still walked out of there with baggies.
Well that's the part that I found odd based on what I read. Madrid being the away team. The crazy thing was there was a photo of the ref, talking to reporters, carrying his Madrid swag bag! On top of that, it wasn't the keychains, etc that are the supposed norm. Clearly a Madrid jersey, and Lord only knows if it was signed by the team, in the bag. It looked like the guy went shopping at the Real Madrid club shop, yet again he was at de la Ceramica.
Yep. Thing is this is nothing new. This has been going on for decades. And let's not forget the whole transfer ban nonsense as well.
Apparently Madrid does this all the time, that's what they said when asked about this.
Still think Villareal could have played much better with the 2-0 lead but refs gifted Madrid the path to a comeback that may give them the league, it's a joke honestly
Well apparently other clubs do it as well. Again, I hadn't heard of it, but also this is Madrid playing away.
Yeah, and it's nothing new.
Lol Bruno from Villareal obliterated Piqué in a press conference when told about Pique's latest whiny tweet
So you're saying Bruno is an idiot then. Question is who is the bigger idiot, Bruno or Ramos?
