As it expected , the armed robbery suffered by the FC Barcelona in Benito Villamarín the past Sunday has brought consequences in the referee's panorama. And these have arrived in shape of touch of attention of the FIFA to the Spanish organisms, asking explanations by it sucedido mainly with the "goal ghost" that went in 57 centimetres in the goal of the Betis and did not go up to the marker for the Barça.

The president of the Commission of Referees of the FIFA, Pier Luigi Collina, would have telephoned to Ángel María Villar, president of the Real Spanish Federation of Football (RFEF), to speak long and tended of the subject and ask explanations, urging besides to the Committee of Referees of Spain to that it take the necessary measures as so that an event like this do not go back to repeat.

We remember that the images of the "goal ghost" of the FC Barcelona have travelled by all the world like the gunpowder through the international press and the social networks, leaving in very bad place so much to LaLiga Santander as to his provision of referee's quality.

The assistant could pay the consequences

In Spain, as it does echo the newspaper "Sport", when seeming the president of the Technical Committee of Referees, the ex referee Manuel Díaz Vega, would have called to the referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández for recriminarle his performance in Benito Villamarín.

The president of the Technical Committee of Referees understands that the Canarian referee would have to have given the goal by valid, as it was about to do, without needing to check the posture of his judge of line assistant, that could not see well the played from his position.

In this coyuntura, finally the dishes broken could pay them the referee assistant, Teodoro Nephew, that could happen some weeks in the "fridge" so that they calm the spirits, so much in the FC Barcelona as in the FIFA and distinct estamentos.
