There is still a date left for the round-robin phase to end and there has not been a day without referee scandals. The teams are already furious, and rightly so. From the threat of the Junior players not to play to the complaints from coaches and players every two or three days, Criticism rains down on the Arbitration Commission. And rightly so.
The thing has already reached the vetoes, the announcement that they are not going to present themselves to the parties, the letters asking for observers, the incredible responses from the Commission in which its president designates himself as an observer, as happened in the Junior vs. game Once Caldas…
“What the Colombian Football Federation has invested in the last three or four years in preparation courses for VAR inspectors, VAR referees, normal referees and normal line assistants is considerable. “We have never had referee preparation of such quality as what the Colombian Football Federation has invested in three or four years,” Ramón Jesurún, the president of the entity, told Caracol Radio.

But that is of no use if the management of the technical commission is handed over to people who did not even show quality when they were active referees, like Ímer Machado, who everyone points to. And with every reason to do so.

And if there is also no common sense in the appointments, then the problem worsens. Fifa referees, who they appoint and send themselves each year, are supposed to be the most capable.
Meanwhile, a Fifa player, Carlos Ortega, will direct an eliminated match this Monday, Chicó vs. Águilas, and this Sunday, another Fifa, Andrés Rojas, was sent to Ibagué, to a game between the leader, Tolima, and the last, Patriotas, which no longer defines anything. They don't help each other. Things are going very bad.
