Are Real Madrid for real? I mean we have been both the beneficial recipient and annoyingly deprived of some outrageous refereeing decisions over the years but their bullying reaction is coercion, surely?
25 Apr 2025 21:39:48
They are a horrible club. Why they are the dream of so many players is beyond me.
Serial winners yes. But serial rubbishhouses also.
25 Apr 2025 22:10:15
Mardrid are worse than city imo but they're protected atm.
25 Apr 2025 22:11:02
The fact the club come out and then condone the referee even further is pretty incredible. What a poisonous institution.
25 Apr 2025 22:33:43
There loosing their mind because the season isint going there way, terrible losers with now grace or dignity! Honestly I know the media and ref bashing in the premier league can be a lot but we all look like church mice compared to Madrid, they may win the lot but zero class!
25 Apr 2025 22:46:35
Anyone want to enlighten me as to what's going on here.?
25 Apr 2025 23:35:20
They think they are above the game, beyond the rules. They get away with it in Spain as they have substantial backing from Spanish institutions. They have a facade that appears glamorous but inside they are - and have been for decades - corrupt, morally and financially.

I just read the whole thing and it is astounding. For PD and those who don't know what happened, RMTV released a video criticising the referee who would be officiating the Copa Del Rey by editing together all the refereeing mistakes he had made, calling into question his capability to be a referee in the first place. The referee then had a press conference where he broke down and said that he felt like the actions taken by RM felt like bullying. RM then turned around and boycotted their pre-match obligations before the Copa Del Rey, claiming that the video falls under free speech and that the referee had acted in a biased manner against them by saying what he said in the press conference. They also threatened to boycott the final unless the refereeing committee took action.
Tldr, RM tried to bully the referee of the Copa Del Rey final and when they were called out on it, claimed that they were the victims instead.
{Ed025's Note - it beggars belief Drac..

I watch every real Madrid game, and the amount of horrible refereeing decisions against them are astonishing. Both refs and VAR are either corrupt or completely useless.
26 Apr 2025 07:03:37
PD there’s article on bbc website.
26 Apr 2025 07:54:13
Even if they do have lots of bad refereeing decisions against them the absolute arrogance of thinking that refusing to play is a punishment because Madrid are so valuable that them not being in it is the worst thing that can happen is staggering.
If I'm Spanish FA I'd say no problem, feel free to sit it out. In fact sit out next season's Spanish cup as well.
There's never been a team who cries harder about persecution despite the fact that very often everything goes their way.
26 Apr 2025 08:05:03
Crazy story this.
26 Apr 2025 08:05:45
The idea that Real Madrid can claim any sort of agenda against them is utterly laughable.
Regardless to what you think of the referee your official channel cannot act like they did, and have done before.
It’s beyond embarrassing.
26 Apr 2025 08:31:04
So glad something like this has come to light, I posted a while back about RM trying underhand tactics to get the upper hand - mainly around trying to unsettle Liverpool players with transfer rumours prior to us meeting them in matches, and norms this to put pressure on referees to make decisions in their favour. To be honest they are embarrassing themselves - I used to love the old RM in the 90s, they had some of my favourite players - but these ‘mind games’ to get the swing in their favour is cheap.

Dirty horrible club.
26 Apr 2025 09:44:51
There is no club I despise more than Madrid, I was over the moon when Arsenal thrashed them. Entitled cretins in my opinion and why any English player would want to go there is utterly beyond me. Doesn't suprise me in the slightest that Jude has shown himself to be a bit of an arrogant @#£& recently and hope Trent doesn't turn out the same.
26 Apr 2025 10:41:43
Real Madrid TV's comments about referees will be very familiar to regular visitors to this site where referees are frequently accused of being corrrupt.
26 Apr 2025 11:07:48
We must have a fair amount of dirty horrible fans when we see the amount of “corrupt” “bias” and “cheating” referees that there is on this page. I mean is there much difference? It’s more than a bit hypocritical to say the least.
26 Apr 2025 11:07:58
It's one thing for fans to call refs corrupt and a club to actually edit and release a video targeting one ref in particular, besmirching and insulting him, and then complaining when he goes public taking offence at it kemlyncat, not sure where you were going with that one.
26 Apr 2025 11:23:13
Well there’s not much difference if the fans that slate refs on this page are now calling out Madrid.
{Ed001's Note - if you can't see the difference then you are in need of help, because you must be a complete moron. Madrid the club have been the issue here, not the fans. You are just embarrassing yourself here.}
26 Apr 2025 12:11:41
Trent will fit right in ?.
26 Apr 2025 12:20:48
They've been spoon-fed from a silver platter their entire history. Perez is so slimey and corrupt he should take charge of FIFA.
26 Apr 2025 11:31:18
Hi Patrick. I think you might be creating a difference when there is none. Abuse and criticism is usually directed at an individual referee and I don't think the medium excuses anyone.
26 Apr 2025 13:47:50
Kemlyncat some things don’t need to be complicated or contentious mate.
A football club simple cannot do a hit piece on a professional referee via their own channel in advance of a big game that referee is in charge of. It is completely unprofessional.
{Ed001's Note - exactly, someone gets it! Well said Wissa.}
26 Apr 2025 19:49:40
It’s officially sanctioned bullying at the very least.
26 Apr 2025 23:36:38
Real Madrid are the epitome of everything wrong with modern day football!
27 Apr 2025 09:47:32
They showed themselves for what they are and how they think they can act at 5he end of the extra time. I wonder if any of our players were watching ?.
27 Apr 2025 10:10:12
I think the game against Barcelona just completely summarised what everyone is saying about Madrid. Horrible club. Seems Bellingham has also been drawn into it and developed a pretty atrocious attitude.
27 Apr 2025 10:26:56
More gross sh*thousery by Real yesterday.
27 Apr 2025 13:28:57
Real Madrid are a soulless, classless club. Maybe not as dirty in the dark arts of defending when fielding Pepe and Ramos but the arrogance and self entitlement always taints them. All the money in the world may buy success but it will never buy them a soul or respect.
28 Apr 2025 17:49:58
Cootes is all I have to say. Did LFC TV do anything after. No, because its unprofessional to do so.
