A man ceases to be a football judge in Bizkaia after homophobic aggressions

  • According to the referee, the president of the Muñatones in Muskiz, at rest, said aloud to his team that the four winds would be heard: "The referee is a young boy, a martyr, but confessed to himself, a goat, and will not let us do anything in the game and will always be against us." Upon hearing it, the referee suspended the departure and, upon going to the car, met the two mirrors and the broken back umbrella. He has lodged a complaint with the Ertzaintza.

As you can read in the news of Eldiario.es, these attacks occurred in the game played by juveniles on 4 January. In the Malekon Berria de Muskiz stadium, Muñatones and Asti Leku B played the pre-season game that was played in San Mamés. The arbitrator who wished to remain anonymous has obtained the written record eldiario.es. This record shows that during the rest the referee heard the president of the Muñatones, screaming from all the costumes, throwing the insults quoted. These phrases, according to the arbitral record, were repeated over and over again by the lehendakari, so the referee decided to end the match "with total normality, in which the first part was finished (1-1 in the scoreboard, with a penalty failed by the visitors). The president of Muñatones made comments to warm up the atmosphere, as the players were going to be furious in the field."

Unpaid work with animals in the car

The President of the Muñatones decided not to pay the arbitrator the EUR 39 for his work. After the match, the referee headed to the car, where he found the two mirrors and the broken back umbrella. The Ertzaintza de Muskiz, for its part, has denounced the facts.

Decides to leave eight years after the referee for the helplessness he has felt

"After eight years as an arbitrator in the campas of Bizkaia, and without anything like that happening before, I have decided not to continue arbitrating due to the defenselessness I have suffered," he wrote, according to URL1. For his part, the arbitrator has thanked Asti Leku for his concern at all times.

The competition committee of the Biscay Football Federation will meet on the afternoon of 8 January and discuss how to sanction these attacks.
