There is war in the Spanish football further of what happens each weekend in the terrains of game. The referees, that are constantly in the centre of the controversy, have pronounced of official way this Tuesday for 'accuse' a campaign orquestada in his against that looks for the desprestigio to his work. They signal, directly, to LaLiga and clubs of the competition.

All this arrives in the middle of the investigations by the 'case Negreira' and the payment of the FC Barcelona to the exvicepresidente of the Technical Committee of Referees during almost two decades. Thus, in the communiqué have done upsetting in that from the CTA do not designate referees, asking respect to his works and descartando, anyway, 'favours' to teams or favorecimientos in the parties.

The communiqué of the referees

In the writing, published by the RFEF this Tuesday, have specified that "from the professional arbitration of the Spanish football want to move our deep worry by the regrettable situation that has generated around the community that represent and that promotes and promotes from different fronts of the professional football in what we consider a perfectly measured campaign and organised".

Likewise, they have done reference to that from LaLiga try them prejudice, difamar and ridicule: "we Regret the permanent attacks of The League and of his main leaders. The video spread by his director of Competitions, Luis Gil, treating to signal and ridicule the referee's performances, is a sample more than the interest of The League in generating a climate irrespirable to our community, seed the doubt on our decisions and lessen the referee's professionalism. Thus, the referees of First and Second division request to The League and to his leaders respect and institutional responsibility in front of an unprecedented fact in the Spanish football".

Double morals of LaLiga

They have criticised that, while from the patronal report a crisis reputacional, insist in the campaigns against of the work of the referees: "The leaders of The League can not regret permanently a crisis reputacional in the Spanish football and at the same time collaborate to generate it through a call to the crispación and to the violence against the referees in a manoeuvre that only drives to the devaluation of our football and to his descrédito social".

Of the same way, have 'wetted' with the referee's designations: "Besides, it is important to put in knowledge of the public opinion that the CTA does not designate to the referees, but it does it an organ designated CACP (COMMITTEE OF DESIGNATION) where is present a member of the RFEF, a member of The League and another member of designation by common agreement or, if it did not exist, by the CSD".

They explained, in this sense, that one of the members that during years had been designated by LaLiga to develop this work is the exárbitro Antonio Jesús López Grandson, "the one who, on the contrary of what is doing The League, enarbola the autonomy of the referee's community. López Grandson manifested publicly that during 16 years was "designating referees", ensured that "everything is lie" and asked "replacement for the referees, for the football and for the credibility"".

They propose a reflection

In the writing, the referees have wanted to leave clear "ours autonomy, that has to be it and will be it always of The League and of the clubs in spite of the confusion in which it has treated to submerge to the fan. The federations are the entes commissioned to organise the football in each country and our estamento works with autonomy and professionalism for the sake of the arbitration and of the football. Urge A deep reflection in front of behaviours so irresponsible that have to detain what before by the good name of the Spanish football".

They insist that it is necessary to see the football like a sport in which "it has to exist passion and emotion, and where the protagonists have errors and tarpaulins; leaders, players and referees" and that "can not use the sport in general and the arbitration in particular like a half to justify behaviours and undue and inappropriate behaviours by part of ALL the members that form the family of the football".

Final call

Finally, they have specified that "it is a situation that no only affects to the referee's community professional but, the most worrisome still, to minors that begin in inferior categories and that lack security in the field, boys that are distinguished, abused, loomed and, what is graver, assaulted physically, something intolerable and direct effect of the campaign mediática of desprestigio that suffer by part of The League and the professional clubs. By all the mentioned previously would like us command a message for the reflection and like this not having to regret any misfortune more than the already become, neither have to adopt drastic measures and with urgency that repercutirían directly in our competition".
