Good performances from
referees all round this week, the only criticism directed at Fernández
Borbolán, who favoured Real Madrid against Mallorca by ignoring a
possible penalty for hands by Heinze early on (presumably considering it to be
accidental), and then allowing Robinho's second goal to stand even though he
picked up Raúl's deflected pass in a borderline offside position. After
last week's hoo-ha it was strange that Schuster shrugged off the question when
asked in the press conference if the fact that the referee was from Andalusia
had affected the result! (14.11.07) |
