Debate on Football Referee Bias
Don't you think it's disgraceful that for seventy two years, the Technical Committee of Referees
has been chaired by former members of Real Madrid or former Real
Madrid directors or former Real Madrid players? Don't you think that's disgraceful?
You think it's the most normal thing in the world.
They were all members—
All of them, all of them. Seventy-two years, listen, all of them.
What are you telling me? That what Barça does is disgraceful, but it isn't
disgraceful what
Madrid does with that? Come on, what we did was provide
refereeing advice.
That isn't sporting corruption.
Besides, besides, scouting services were provided.
No, don't mess with me. I've compared it with everything we've
experienced over the— I mean, ever since I can remember,
since I started going to
football at five, that was controlled by Real Madrid,
don't tell me otherwise.
They also had no need to hire refereeing advice—
because they were already doing it, only better and ex—
and en— and expanded.
In other words, what others, what others got for free,
Barça had
to pay to get what others got for free.
Barça had to pay to receive refereeing advice—
Okay.
And to have scouting. And what the others had was, uh,
their own calf, man. No, no, you can’t, no, no.
Don’t you realize it in Madrid, or what?
Yes, yes, yes.
The calf was theirs. Okay.

¿No le parece indigno que durante setenta y dos años el Comité Técnico de Árbitros haya estado presidido por exsocios del Real Madrid o exdirectivos del Real Madrid o exjugadores del Real Madrid? ¿Eso no le parece indigno? Le parece lo más normal del mundo. Eran todos socios-
Todos, todos. Setenta y dos años, oiga, todos. ¿Qué me está diciendo? ¿Que es indigno lo que hace el Barça y no es indigno lo que hace el Madrid con eso? Hombre, nosotros lo que hacíamos era un asesoramiento
arbitral. Eso no es corrupción deportiva. Además, además, se hacían los servicios de scouting. No, no me fastidie. He comparado con todo lo que hemos vivido durante-- vamos, yo desde que tengo uso de razón, desde que voy al
fútbol a los cinco años, eso estaba dominado por el Real Madrid, no me diga que no. Igual ellos no tenían necesidad de contratar unos-- asesoramiento arbitral, porque ya lo hacían corregido y ar-- y au-- y aumentado.
O sea, que lo, lo, lo que a otro, lo que a otro les llegaba gratis, el Barça tenía que pagar para tener lo que otros tenían gratis. El Barça tenía que pagar para tener un asesoramiento arbitral- Vale.
Y para tener un scouting. Y los otros lo que tenían era, eh, la ternera suya, hombre, que no, no, no se puede, no, no. ¿No os dais cuenta en Madrid o qué? Sí, sí, sí. La ternera era suya. Vale.
