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.
