Alfons GOdall - admits referee help

ODALL: “NOT BEING OKAY WITH THE RFEF AND UEFA DAMAGE US, IN A SPORTING LEVEL”

A former vice president of Barcelona, Alfons Godall, has made some controversial statements for LaSexta on Joan Laporta’s time as president and his relations with the referees: “We have to be behind to the entities that have power and don’t turn our backs on them. I remember that once, Laporta had it very clear.”

The vice president, who had always been close to the movements of Laporta, said: “Supporting Villar (RFEF president) is good for Barcelona’s sake, also to have a good relationship with the Federation, that’s where the Committees of referees, of competition and Football League are managed.”

“I think that Laporta made grew up a lot and very thoroughly these good relations with these institutions, specially UEFA and FIFA, and that helped us (in a sporting level). That was very clear.”

“At this point we can affirm that this absence is damaging Barcelona For example when talk about the referees. When we balance out the good and bad calls on us and to our rivals”

“Right now we have to make sure everything is okay. Ask if everything is okay and be vigilant of our interests. When this kind of things are evident is because something is going on.”



WTF IS THIS

lot of sources saying similiar things, dunno if its true or not though

Yeah, he is not saying we were bribing refs, but that Laporta made Barça be respected by the FEF, FIFA, UEFA, etc. which obviously made Refs respect us.

Something that doesn't happen now, where Refs sh¡t on our face and let themselves be sodomized by Madrid week in week out.

Nothing wrong with what he said and it's basically true.

he said these insitutions help us , assuming the translation is correct( which it isnt often) i think it refers to something other than respect

Read the line, it says that Laporta had good relationships with RFEF, UEFA..., and that helped Barça (having good relationships, not the institutions directly).

Who doesnt know this?

It's pretty easy to figure out. Remember when 3 Barca players got in the Ballon d'or top3, and then Qatar won the vote for the WC, afterwards Barca agreed to sponsoring the Qatar Foundation? There's at the very least extremely great relations beetween FIFA/UEFA and Barca.

Or like, when Pep cried that the ref was Portuguese, and they changed it right away to Wolfgang Stark?

so how did having good relationships with the referees help barca aside from the reason i am thinking of?

Not surprised

they only bribe european referees, madrid are ahead obviously because they're the government's team

All jokes aside, I really don't know what to make of this. It looks scandalous but at the same, seems like a storm in a tea cup.

So basically it could mean that both Barca and Real tried to befriend the RFEF, Barca did so b4 and got the right amount of favours, nowadays we dont do it so much and hence dont get any favours?

Lol people have this whole thing completely wrong. I knew this would happen after goal.com picked it up

Godall didn't really say anything we didn't already know, he was just pretty much commenting on the fact that Barcelona had good relations with RFEF and the refereeing comittee since Villar was president of it and because of the recent Pique controversies it didn't affect those relations in a good way of course.

What is wrong with what he said? He said having good relations with RFEF helped Barcelona. Doesn't mean RFEF actually helped Barca.

so having good relations with refereeing institutions helped barca according to him?

hmm , iwonder what that means exactly

reading comprehension can be a great tool.

Alons Godall: I looked into Villar's eyes and I knew that he had ill intentions.

TBH, Barca and their conflicts with Madrid and all their memeatic comments would make an epic film.
