Sportsmanship is mobilized before the unpunished strike suffered by Quiles

Anger. It is the word that best defines the state of the spirit of sportsmanship after last Sunday we saw Albert Quiles’ face literally smashed, who could miss the rest of the season, and the referee only showed Ekaitz Jiménez a yellow card. Francisco Javier Fernández Vidal’s decision, which infuriated all athletes after the consequences of the incident.

Starting with a club that has not officially made a public statement. Yes, his advisor Emma Lustres did. The presenter published a harsh tweet in which she expressed her discomfort with the procedure: “Fucked that they didn’t get the three points, but much more screwed for the abomination they made good @Albertoquiles9. Inadmissible!!! that they were left without an eye. #Not that way”.

It’s a sensation of practically all sportsmanship, which was also confirmed through social networks. This way, both through this media and via WhatsApp, there is a suggestion that the blue-white fans go to the Riazor city stadium next Saturday with a red card. The goal is to appear in the 9th minute of the match while chanting the name of Albert Quiles.

The goal of the fans is to cause discomfort with the arbitration noticemore precisely the one from last weekend and above all because of one action, a shot received by the striker of Huelva, which should have been red, but ended up in yellow.

The gesture, absolutely peaceful, would also have the symbolism of being held on Peñas Day, with the visit of the leader, Alcorcón, making the meeting more than transcendental for Deportivo. To do this, the club is preparing to hang a “no tickets” sign.

player appreciation

In the midst of this movement, Alberto Quiles released a statement yesterday through his social networks in which he thanked for all the support and love received since last Sunday.

“It’s never easy to stop enjoying your passion because of an injury. It’s getting a little more tolerable, though, thanks to all the expressions of love I’m receiving. I want to sincerely thank all the fans for their concern for me. I’m coming back quickly,” emphasized the attacker who, given the contractual situation, could have played his last game as an athlete in Córdoba.

Judges say: “Hand red”

Sometimes it happens that some action is extremely impressive for the fan, either because of the spectacular impact or fall, or because of the effect of blood. But then it turns out that, with regulation in hand, it’s not as punishable as the fans might have believed. Ekaitz Jiménez’s shot leaves Alberto Quiles in no doubt. Neither for spectators, nor for experts. “it’s manual”

This is how he explains it, Uxío Caamañoformer university national category, who currently has a Twitter account, @MrAsubioin which he analyzes arbitration actions.

This braid from Vigo is blunt: «You have to remember that the Córdoba player does not see the ball. But it doesn’t stop being punishable by a red card, because the action implies a serious risk and you have to take it into account. There is no football, contrary to what many people believe, there must be no intention for the sexual act to cease to be punishable».

The former judge of the national category and the author of the book “Arbi, qué pitas” also says in the same line, Xabier Rodriguez Campos. Coruña adheres to the rules to argue: «The document says that if a player uses excessive force, he must be sent off. The rules of the game are not about intentionality. Therefore, in my opinion, it is pure expulsion.

However, Rodríguez Campos understands the mistake: “The referee sees the action from behind and doesn’t notice the damage. I think what I should have done was to first look at the effect of the kick and, after confirming the damage Quiles suffered, then act accordingly and show red. Because, if that action had been in the chest or in the hand, with the same force, no one would have said that it was reckless. And I think it was a mistake »

At this point, it is worth asking whether, after the yellow was shown, the referee could have corrected and shown the red. The answer is yes.
