Real Madrid Good Heavens

The gray scale of the CTA_RFEF strikes again. There are referees who handle themselves fantastically in that foggy zone of difficult plays. It has merit, because it must not be easy to react like that in a moment of tension. It's called instinct, by the way. The one where you know that if you fail in one direction they can send a journalist to the neighborhood where you grew up, while if you do it in the other, you will most likely end up refereeing the final of the Copa del Rey, or the Super Cup, with their relevant diets and their pat on the back.

No, yesterday's wasn't the worst robbery we've suffered over the years. It is true that we began to be somewhat more respected, and we forget things like that infamous defeat in Valencia, the classics without penalties and with expulsions, the VAR that cancels a goal and calls a penalty against and also cancels a goal against Mariano for a millimeter of frame and that costs us a league (or two, I already mix robberies and years).

So let's give credit first to instinct and then to the tv technical director. The one that can give you a shot from behind, or from the side, or slow down, or put you a frame before or another after. That guy is the real freak, the real genious of the thing called tinglao.

The problem is that, after one-two-three layers, Jaume Roures always ends up appearing behind all these stories.

So, you go to the VAR, they give you the correct frame with the correct speed, and you decide that there is Asensio's hand there. I believe that it is impossible, in the time that the referee was there, to see clearly that there is a hand there. I say this because they were supposed to limit the VAR for very clear, very clear things. Not for the interpretable.

Such was the shock of the penalty against, also for the moment, that Ancelotti came out to sing his "mecachis". Good heavens! Even the club talks about controversial arbitration. And Asensio tweeted complaining bitterly about the changing criteria for gray moveshttps://twitter.com/realmadriden/status/1586827656993046530

There is more things to choose: then there is Rodrygo (photo above). If that's is well annulled, like Asensio's, that rule must be changed. The goalkeeper never has the ball perfectly caught, unless he has magnetized gloves. What's more: he moves the ball. If rubbing the ball with the glove is enough... nothing, that rule is nonsense.

To top it off... the always controversial Kroos ended up expelled. Imagine that, in a last rush, 11 against 11, we tied. Dont make Daddy Roures be angry

All happened on the same date that another gray play, or really Dolby Surround 4D HK, ended in red forgiven for Marcos Alonso, of Barcelona.

Yes, they are taking us to familiar ground: that of needing almost 100 points to win the league, because some team play with a net below and others without it. And no, Real Madrid must not remain silent, remain in the "mecachis". One thing is the lordship and accepting the envy of the mediocre (we are the best team in history for a reason) and other the need to compete under heroics ways. Of course, the trumpeters of the figures immediately spoke that "Barça and Madrid cannot complain about the referees", which continues to be the most fallacious and repeated argument in our football, as any impartial analysis of the refereeing balances of the four last decades can show.

The final minutes, of course, would not have happened if Real Madrid had played better, it can be said against. And yes, the game left a lot to be desired, but... Do we have to be in heroic mode to win the league? We are not Marvel.

We could be 5 points higher and end up with just 1. And that's not a good thing, because the best way would be to have reached the World Cup with a solid lead over Barcelona... but between one thing and another, there they are. To a Lewan cold of not being there, it may be true, but they are. Televised, made, endorsed and advised-by-the-Girona-council by Jaume Roures, but there they are.

In a few hours the month of the World Cup in Qatar begins. That thing, like Roures, is also always in the background.

Good heavens!
