New Committee of Competition in Spain makes an example of Tito and Coentrao

The new head of the committee, Alfredo Florez, has decided to hand out the following bans:

- Tito Vilanova 2 match ban for protesting too much to the referee Muniz during the match against Osasuna.
- Patxi Punal 4 match ban for telling the same official "I shit on your whore of a mother"
- Fabio Coentrao 4 match ban for cursing the referee of Getafe-Real Madrid "You are a son of a bitch"

I heard that Tito will be on the bench tonight. Is that true?

Well done.

Why do footballers have to get that mad at referees. It's not the end of the World...

Wait until the lawyer's of Perez and Rosell come down in their sharp suits and big briefcases packed with Euros.

Them bans will soon be halved lol.

we all know that after appeals punal will be the only one banned for more than one game

All I can say is I give respect to the refferees for not losing it. Listening to abusive comments towards their family every couple of days

I'm surprised some of them haven't snapped.

how could the referee hear what Cacktrao said, he was so far away lol

Anyways Tito's ban starts after this game while Cacktrao's starts from tonight definitely fair eh??

@Mole, we will appeal according to our official website

I honestly feel like a 2 match ban is kind of strong for an in-game protest (what would have happened if Tito had publicly denounced the referee at a press conference, alla Mou?) but they had to get Barca in there to stop Madrid conspiracy theorists from crying foul

Knew it watch the ban be at least halved i wouldn't be surprised if there was no ban at all

Same goes for Tito tbh.

You guys have proved that you're just as good as we are at conspiracy talk over the past year

Come on now, a 4 match ban is ridiculous. 2 matches would be reasonable since a straight red usually means 2 matches which is something most would accept.

but lets not forget Ozil being suspended for "sarcastically" clapping at the referee

These referees are emotionally unstable and would red card you and suspend you for doing anything that would mess with their fragile feelings

I was aware of the irony as I was posting it

Mole, Sport is reporting that we won't appeal.

"FC Barcelona's legal services will appeal Tito Vilanova's two-match ban imposed by the Spanish Football Federations competition committee," the club said in a statement.

"It's worth noting that FC Barcelona contested the allegations made in Muniz Fernandez's post-match report, where the referee stated that the FC Barcelona manager was ejected for 'angrily protesting a play of the match, after he had been warned by the assistant referee'," the club said.

Just saying that the committee is acting big and mighty and showing off and look what we can do and in the end they won't stick to the bans they hand out.

Referees should carry stun-guns in their pockets and be allowed to defend themselves if abused. That should stop any abuse towards refs

dat blessing in disguise :I'mveryunoriginal:
