Thousands of Armenian football fans were outraged by the refereeing of the Ireland vs. Armenia match and sent a letter to UEFA head Michel Platini with demands to disqualify referee Itturaldo Gonzales.
The letter was also posted on Facebook.
Marca says Gonzales’s mistakes were not a coincidence.
The Armenian national team lost 2:1 to Ireland in Dublin on October 11 in the Euro-2012 qualifying play-offs. He sent off goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky. Striker Simon Koks admitted that he committed hand-ball in an interview with the BBC.
It is believed that Europe feels guilty for the scandalous game of the Irish team on November 18, 2009, when French striker Thierry Henri committed hand-ball and scored the final goal, entering the 2010 World Cup.
