There is already a precedent in LaLiga similar to that of Bellingham

It’s not until Wednesday at the beginning when the Competition Committee pronounce punishment on Jude Bellingham after his dismissal on Saturday at the Mestalla. The expulsion that, as we already reported in MD, Extremaduran referee Gil Manzano recorded in the minutes: “In the 999th minute, the player (5) Bellingham, Jude Victor William, was expelled in the following reason: After the end of the match and still On the field of the game, he ran towards me in an aggressive attitude and shouted, repeatedly several times: “it’s a fucking goal.”

We also explained yesterday to MD that the white club has a very difficult time recourse due to the almost certain value of the record. And, under this situation, the Englishman was exposed to a two-match suspension.

Especially as stated in article 127 of the Disciplinary Code regarding protests, which says: “Protest the main referee, the assistants or the fourth referee, as long as it does not constitute a foul.” More seriously, it is punishable by suspension. of two to three games or for a period of up to a month.”

Or for contempt, and according to article 124, in relation to contemptuous attitudes towards judges, it speaks of “addressing judges with an attitude of contempt or lack of consideration, as long as it is not considered a more serious offense, shall be punished with two or three matches or up to a maximum of one month”

Van Der Heyden Precedent

But there is also a precedent from just a few days ago where there was a very similar or almost identical situation in Spanish football. It is on Mallorca – Real Sociedad of matchday 25. The vermilion club player, Van Der Heydenwas sent off at the end of the match by González Fuertes who recorded it as follows in the referee’s report: “after the match and still on the field of play for walking across the field to protest loudly and speak to me in the following term: “very bad, very bad”

A very similar word to what Gil Manzano wrote on Saturday. The player of Majorca was allowed two games for protesting that prevented him from playing against the Alavés and last night with him Girona.

It is more obscure, but it cannot be ruled out, that the disciplinary body will leave him in just one game. This is if the Competition Committee deems it to be an offensive term, expression and act only. In this situation, and according to article 126, it will be a party: “The utterance of terms or expressions that violate decency or dignity or the use of gestures or actions that, due to their vulgarity, are considered offensive in public opinion shall be punished by suspension of one to three games or up to one month.”

Just as if they consider it as an attitude contrary to the sports order because article 129 establishes up to four matches but the minimum level is always applied when it is the first time.
