Real Madrid v Almeria yesterday

[Colin Warnek]

Disgraceful. Never seen such blatant corruption as this. Football has gone to the dogs unfortunately. La Liga really do not want Girona winning the league.

Happy to stay in the Championship forever if it means we avoid this.

It's Real Madrid, their entire existence is based on corruption.

I thought exactly the same thing when I seen the time their goal was scored. Absolute fix

First Real goal wasn't a pen, then the Almeria 3rd goal wasn't a foul, then Vinicius goal was just incredible how they could give that off the arm.

You do know Girona are owned by Man City group?

They’re probably just saving themselves a lot of hassle in the future when they have to strip them of the title for FFP breaches.

Plucky little Girona eh

Yeah, look at this all those people who say we definitely need VAR.

They're a horrible club.

I wish Jude wasn't there. He's doing amazing and I hope he continues improving in becoming one of the best players in world football, but I also like watching Real Madrid fail.

Actually, I have just taken the time to watch those highlights.

The pen is a pen in this day and age. Not sure where the issue is with that one. Some probably refer to this as a soft pen, but they are being given all the time.

The hand in Bellingham's face, ok that would be hard to take given the goal just scored. But he does swing his arm out and catches him with his hand.

Vini Jr goal, well its obvious isnt it? Where is the confusion? The ball has to strike below the armpit, which is sometimes thought of as the bottom of the t-shirt arm cuff, been around for 4 seasons now I think. The ball strikes Vini Jnr high up his arm, so how is that handball?

Love a conspiracy theory me, but nothing really to see here.

Looked to me like the defender had a push in the back for the penalty so I'd be more inclined to say it was a foul against Almeria

Real Madrid's comeback against Almeria: another controversial day for Spanish refereeing

Almeria were outraged after a 3-2 win for Madrid that featured three key VAR decisions that went against them

Bellingham is so, so good though isn't he?

Good wind up.

1. Both hands in the back before the handball
2. You don't even sound convinced yourself there. Bellingham was miles away from the player.
3. It was well below the armpit howay man.

47%. Anyway I just want Stuani to win the title.

And tbh I would say they are plucky, they signed some random Ukrainian and he's ripping up the league with 37 year old Stuani the back up.

I'm not against it as such, I just think the idea that they are some plucky little underdog is a little inaccurate when you understand the full context.

It isn't inconceivable that in ten years time they are winning title after title with Pep as manager. Unless City are dealt with properly here.

Not sure what you have watched to be honest.

In fact the same could be said to you

Just overhead a real madrid fan and even he was talking about match fixing and it being really dodgy

I was busy yesterday. So was just watching the score. I have not looked at any of the details yet.
