Another weekend of controversy for Real Madrid has ended with another blockbuster edition of Real Madrid TV.
The channel has become infamous for its rants against referees and opposition players alongside its feverish support for everything related to Los Blancos.
The debate has become fiercer in recent weeks with presenters openly calling refereeing and the officiating system in Spain as corrupt due to calls that have gone against the team.
The narrative has been continued by club president Florentino Perez calling for investigations into La Liga and their referee picks.
A 1-1 draw at Osasuna ensured Carlo Ancelotti’s side missed the chance to bolster their La Liga title challenge as controversy reigned in Pamplona.
Jude Bellingham was sent off for allegedly insulting the match referee Jose Munuera Montero and a host of fouls against Real Madrid players went unpunished.
The nonsense of Real Madrid TV is always superb viewing, but as Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior were denied penalties, some cries of unfairness stood up.
Bellingham claimed the decision to send him off was a language barrier issue with Ancelotti supporting his version of events.
Amongst the complaints from RMTV they claimed Osasuna defender Juan Cruz ‘belonged in the street’ for a foul on Mbappe and labelled the final result as ‘Corruption in the federation 1 – 1 Real Madrid’.

The claims indicate RMTV’s overarching view of a conspiracy against the club from within La Liga.
“There was a penalty on Vini Jr that everyone saw, but VAR didn’t want to warn the referee. Luis Medina Cantalejo’s objective is achieved. As happened the other day, De Burgos Bengoechea was Atletico Madrid’s best player, and today Munuera Montero is Osasuna’s.”
As a final salvo to their annoyance at the end of the game, the channel awarded a tongue-in-cheek award of man of the match to Montero for his performance in the game.
Brennan is barca cocksucker…negreira bitch…
Cry. Madrid is getting a taste of it’s own medicine.
You jxt funny because we’re the “reys” of football. You’re pissed off
Seriously – I watched the first half with amazement and incredulity at what was happening. The referee was CLEARLY sending the message “NO MATTER WHAT THE FOUL IS… I AM NOT GOING TO PUNISH THE OSASUNA PLAYER”. This meant that the Osasuna players were free to hack down MBappe and Vini Jnr as they pleased.
It was clearly strategic as another Madrid goal would have sealed the match.
The non-English speaking referee then sent off Jude for only hearing the “F” word and incorrectly interpreting it as a personal insult.
He covered his track after half time because he knew that enough advantage had been given to Osasuna.
There is some blatant bias on display here because even the VAR team is selectively in its application.
I think we are heading into a situation where the Referees are trying to match RM TV in its absurd behaviour.
I thought “Flithy Negreira League
was a bit much previously but the first half of this match… that was the exact description.
*** “Filthy Negreira League” – correction
Also, Vini Jnr gets no fouls… even genuinely clear ones because he needs to stop grinning and protesting after every play. It paints a confusing picture and gives the Refs an excuse to dismiss everything he asks as play acting (despite the foul being obvious).
Atletico madrid had a player sent off, penalty awarded against them and drew 1-1,they didn’t blame referee,learn to be a good poser
Its not just about a player being sent off, Einstein.
It is the circumstances that is being debated.
Why are you bothering to post if you are going to reveal the IQ of a peanut?

I still can’t understand the referees because on Tuesday against Manchester city, the Vini Jr penalty incident was ruled out for off. To talk about var never gave us the proper image. And till date no one’s talking ’bout that one too. You can check for yourself if you actually know football. These referees wanna cheat us. They should not forget the fact that we are Madrid.
