The CTA of Medina Cantalejo, dissatisfied with the withdrawal of the red card to Antony

The Disciplinary Committee has withdrawn Antony 's red card and the Brazilian star will be able to play against Real Madrid ... a decision that the Betis fans are obviously celebrating but which is causing a stir in the whole Real Madrid environment and its media machinery, which has been very sensitive in recent times with the refereeing issue. The fact is that the referees themselves are also censuring and expressing their surprise at the 'correction' of Antony's play with Juan Iglesias that the federation has made of them.

The Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) expressed its total agreement with the expulsion of Antony in the match against Getafe CF, but the allegations of the Betis have made the Disciplinary Committee reflect, which has 'pardoned' the Brazilian and has not left the referee of the match, Alberola Rojas , in the best position.

The CTA considered that Alberola Rojas' application of the rules in Antony's action was perfect, as it was, according to the group headed by the Sevillian Luis Medina Cantalejo , an entry from behind without any possibility of playing the ball, beyond the force or impact of the same.

Betis argued that the action was not forceful enough to be considered an assault or a reckless tackle, an interpretation that the committees accept but that the referees, who see re-refereeing in the play by the committee, and Real Madrid, reject outright.
