This past Saturday we told MD that the referee of the match Pablo González Fuertes He recorded racist insults at the Blaugrana in the minutes of the match against Getafe Alejandro Balde. Insults that the player himself has publicly reported to the media. The minutes of the Asturian referee reflect the public part: “At half time of the match and still on the field of play, the visiting player number 3 informed my assistant number 2 that racist messages were spoken to him. “Once in in the locker room, I moved the delegates of both teams and UCO, who proceed to carry out the anti-racism protocol before the start of the second half.”
In fact, the Getafe He activated this protocol on the public address system at the start of the second half, but could not be seen on the video scoreboards due to a technical problem. As we explained yesterday, the normal thing is now the Disciplinary Committee and since it is recorded in the minutes, ask for more information from the match director, security coordinator, follower of the referee delegate. And once you have this information, decide on the disciplinary measure. Or decide to open an extraordinary file by recording a complaint in minutes.
The question is: And what penalties can there be? Disciplinarily, he does not seem to see them because he does not influence the development of the game and because there are precedents that reflect this. Without going any further Getafe-Seville since last season. Then, the referee of the match Javier Iglesias Villanueva recorded in the minutes the racist insult against the Argentine player from Sevilla, Acuna. He recorded it literally like this: “In the 68th minute I had to stop the match because there were racist insults at the number 19 of the visiting team, with words like “Acuña mono” and “Acuña you come from the monkey” , from fans located in the central area of the field behind the position of my assistant referee No. 2. This incident, following the protocol for action in these cases, was announced on the public address system, that the game was not continues until that moment two and a half minutes later and does not occur later during the meeting.”
So, the Disciplinary Committee allowed the Madrid team on March 30 to partially close the stadium for three games, considering the events as very serious: “Impose on Getafe CF, SAD the penalty of partial closure of the sports area for a period of three game and a financial penalty of €27,000, for committing very serious violations classified in articles 69.1.c), 69.2.d) and 76.2, sections b) and d), both of the RFEF Disciplinary Code.”
He’s done Committee He took what had happened very seriously, but after a few weeks, specifically on April 17, appeal upheld the appeal of Getafe the penalty is vacated and null and void. Another strange thing is, in the case of finding the culprits, the consequences it can have from the point of view of Commission on Antiviolence and the club itself. We have a precedent of what happened in the same season in Classic of the Santiago Bernabéu, with shouts from the fans of real Madrid self-centered bucket and Lamine Yamal. Although it was not recorded in the minutes at the time, there was no disciplinary penalty, but there were strong penalties for the offender with a financial fine and a ban on access to a sports area, in addition to the measures adopted by the official itself. . real Madrid.
