Barca officiating bias clear as day

Is that why the dude who mowed down Pique didn't get his second yellow and the red that goes with it?

This ref had no bias, he was just super bad.

Joaquin is cool and good, kind of a shame he never ultimately got the big money move to a top European club (Valencia lol). He gives hope to out-of-shape guys like me over 35 to go out there, have a good attitude, be competitive and enjoy yourself.

Decent write up by Sid Lowe that's not too huffy of his own farts about it: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/dec/09/joaquins-feat-is-a-hat-trick-for-the-ages-19-years-in-the-making

Abandoning a match for racist chants? Unthinkable!

Abandoning a match because the Rayo ultras were calling a known neonazi Roman Zozulya a nazi? Well of course RFEF is all for it and will probably punish Rayo hard for it.

In a league of dysfunction, pettiness and financial basketcases like La Liga, it's pretty impressive that Valencia CF has kept it up for what, like 15-20 years now?

(Full disclosure/FWIW: I did a semester abroad in Valencia then lived there awhile solo - great city but holy poo poo between the new Mestalla, the F1 circuit, the Science Museum, and the airport are they the kings of white elephant projects)

It has been like that ever since PP won the local elections in the late 90's and hold power there until recently, so yeah, I guess big white elephant projects and endemic poltical corruption go hand to hand. Valencia CF is not the first Spanish club to experience difficulties and endless delays building a new stadium (Atletico and Espanyol, for example), but new Mestalla is a clusterfuck on a different level altogether.

They really should have just done this before the season. He was clearly not going to make it through the year. The expectations were too high and nothing in his background suggested he was suddenly going to stop being a coward and managing scared in big games.

So uhhh the ref in the Barca Valencia game huh


Plays advantage to Valencia for a foul, then calls it back when they are clean through on goal almost.

Then rules out a goal later on when Busquets trips over another Barca player.


Valencia still won 2-0 lmao
