The UD Las Palmas is one of the most common victims of refereeing errors in the 2023-24 season. According to the VAR Archive website, the Gran Canaria team has suffered a large number of refereeing errors against, more than any team in the league. To them, we must add some more claimed by yellow fans in social networks at the present time. This Saturday, UD Las Palmas will host Real Madrid and in the Canary Islands they will host the yellow fans begin to cross.
Some of the most notable mistakes against UD Las Palmas already featured in matchday 2, in the confrontation between UD and Valencia at the Mestalla, almost three minutes later, André Almeida made a harsh tackle on Sandro Ramírez, when he dropped the ball, which could have been a red card. The referee Iglesias Villanueva did not show a yellow card and VAR doesn’t want to come in either.
On matchday 5, Martínez Munuera’s performance at Pizjuán, with The clash between Sevilla and the insular team was surrounded by great controversy. The first of them kept Rafa Mir on the field, forgiving him for his dismissal after attacking Mika Mármol with a slap in the yellow area. A few minutes later, he showed the yellow card to Kirian for Pedrosa’s clear penalty, where the referee interpreted the UD Las Palmas player as going down. Such is the complaint of the coach of Gran Canaria, Xavi García Pimienta He did not bite his tongue and said after the meeting that “this is a very clear opportunity to give up.” The meeting it ended 1-0 with a goal from Lukebakio in the 71st minute.
On matchday 18, the referee Martínez Munuera decided not to call a very clear foul on Sandro in the final moments of the match between Athletic and UD Las Palmas in San Mamés, prompting a counter attack from Basque team that ended with a header from Unai Gómez in the 94th minute. Before this action, the referee of the match signaled in the first half a punishment to Marvin after a charge from Paredes, but he recused himself when urged by VAR to accept that decision.
The match ended in a local victory by a goal to none and this time the yellow coach refrained from the press conference after the match commenting that “I cannot give an opinion because
I didn’t see it, the referee sees a penalty and so he calls it, I understand that.
If VAR called him because there was no penalty, it would be worse I can’t comment because I haven’t seen it yet.“. However, Álvaro Valles did protest, stating “I am very screwed. I have my doubts whether or not there was a foul before their goal, but the truth is that the yardstick is not the same for all teams, we almost always come out hurt“.
Added to these obvious refereeing errors was the debatable action of matchday 19 between the yellows and FC Barcelona, had the penalty awarded in the 92nd minute by González Fuertes where Sinkgraven brought down Gündogan with The a slight push and, in addition, the referee showed the Dutchman the red card.
All the refereeing decisions cost the project yellow points in the league, but the Copa del Rey also splashed Pimienta’s team with sending off Julián Araujo against CD Tenerife earned him a four-game league suspension.
The Mexican was “deported for the following reason: Phears an opponent’s headbutt in the face, when the ball is out of play”, according to the minutes. The reaction of the insular entity is to present the corresponding appeal to the TAD (Sports Arbitration Court), accompanied by a video, so that, at least, the precautionary measures can be adopted and that Araujo himself can be available to receive Villarreal in Gran Canaria. No case: the full-back was absent against Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano and he had Real Madrid and Granada.
All referee errors had negative impact on classification of UD Las Palmas, with 31 points, which may currently be in the European positions with access to the Conference League at the moment.
The UD Las Palmas protested against refereeing errors against him on several occasions with the words of some of his players and timid statements of coach García Pimienta, but the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) did not take any action in this matter.
