VillaChris Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Would be so good if Sevilla could win La Liga this season. It could well happen as they're finally learning how to grind out away wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Never a fecking penalty that....his own teammate has hit it at him ffs. That for me is why Spanish refs are worse than in England...a PL ref would never have called that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted February 26, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Ridiculous penalty to give. How on earth could that have benefitted his team? The ball was moving away from goal having been cleared by his own teammate. Appalling decision. Edit - when I say "benefitted his team" I mean in terms of it being an intentional handball.

PaulC Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Shocking decision. Problem is Villareal have just sat back since they went 2-0 up Edited February 26, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Penalty has killed Villareal. Their sub keeper also being a bit of a clown isn't helping either....should've saved the Morata header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've seen those penalty decisions given in La Liga. It's odd really, they also had/have a rule where a handball was an immediate yellow card regardless if you were at fault or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 As always it is hysterically fun to read the Barcelona forums in Sweden when things don't go their way. They are rightly complaining that Real got a soft penalty claiming the league is fixed, all the while totally ignoring that they themselves got a soft penalty in the 90th minute at home last week against Leganes And it's the same every week for both of those clubs. I don't care much for Real, but Barca fans (in Sweden at least) is the most hypocritical bunch of rocket polishers in all of football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 To be honest it's not only the big clubs that get the decisions. I saw an identical incident earlier this season when Celta played Deportivo. That seemed a strange decision at the time, handball too. The referees just aren't good enough, this is one league that needs all the help it can get via technology. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do seem to get more penalties but Barcelona had a game recently where the ball was about 5 yards over the goal line yet wasn't given. That decision could yet decide the title. as they would have gained another 2 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Madrid come back despite playing garbage again. Ronaldo's all round game is declining imo but such a clutch player at the big moments. Ref actually got most stuff correct...Bale can have no excuses and both were penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 He got some of the offside calls completely wrong. Ronaldo was ruled offside but was onside on one which ended up with Morata scoring but was ruled out. I've said it before but this league needs all the help it can get via technology. It's not just the "big teams" that suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
