And the red happened right after the Pen wasn’t called.
That’s why you fall over when someone touches you. You try to stay up and you don’t get anything called.
spanish la liga takes dissent/disrespect toward referees very seriously, depending on what’s said. so unless we know exactly what he said, i don’t think you can say the red was that suspicious.
Serious? They let players whine at them all the time. They almost never care.
+1, I see the officials get berated every game with no consequence, its part of why I rarely watch the league.
yes. like i said, “depending on what’s said”. seems that you can whine all you want, but for instance, accusations of biased targeting (a la cristiano ronaldo on sunday) will get you punished in a hurry.
He told the ref “ve a tomarla por el culo” or “go take it up the arse” or go eff yourself”
I do admit. He didn’t argue much after seeing the card.
But maybe they are polite when they whine normally. Or maybe he was closer to the ref than he thought he was.
I guess you’ve never watched a Barcelona game…its comical how they surround the ref when they don’t get a call they like. You see five, six players going up to whine to the ref.
Like he said”depending on what’s said”
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen Rooney tell the referee to ” eff off” without consequences. In La Liga that’s a straight red card.
that was BRUTAL. WOW. I’ve never seen anything like this before.
video no longer available 🙁
Not sure if anyone watched this but earlier a Sociedad player got a straight red for dissent, definitely not suspicious at all.
and a clear penalty not called on Vela that could have ended in a red for Mascherano

Soccer 101 never kick to the center when you are defending
The replays after the goal itself were completely useless. Like, almost intentionally so.
The autoplay adds are back, Ives. watchmojo.com being one of them
This and that no penalty call make this game seem very suspicious…
High degree of difficulty to pull this off if planned. Much easier just to fall down and get burned for a goal
