Munuera Montero comes out of the ‘refrigerator’

Reappointed by the Technical Committee of Referees Munuera Montero for the next day of the league and after the “rest” last weekend. The Andalusian international referee was appointed this Thursday for the clash that will close on the twelfth day in the First Division. It is about meeting between Getafe and the Cádiz which will be played on Monday, November 6 at the Coliseum of the Madrid team.

This designation came after the referee did not blow the whistle due to a technical decision by the Committee, known as “refrigerator“because of what happened to one of the referees trusted by the refereeing establishment.

As we explained last week, the Technical Committee considers that it has made a major technical error by not letting Morata’s hand in Atlético de Madrid- Real Sociedad of the ninth day of the match, even though he was notified by the specific referee of the First Division VAR. Eduardo Prieto Iglesias warned him because he understood that he was a clear and obvious mistake but Munuera chose not to whistle, so the main referee’s decision prevailed, even though the action was a handball in accordance with what the regulations established because his hand was in an unnatural position. A play that is also debated in a refereeing seminar that all referees attend weekly.

His absence in tenth day It is logical given that, if he is called, it will be like VAR. The rest or “refrigerator“in eleventh day since last weekend. And it is now when he returns to this twelfth day in the First Division.

Munuera is neither the first nor the last case. You act this way when the CTA understands that this is a serious error. It already happened last season with a veteran like Mateu Lahoz when he went several days without a whistle after the Barcelona-Espanyol Catalan derby. And it happened this time to another referee who trusted the refereeing establishment more.
