Barcelona and Getafe finished their game with a 0-0 draw that doesn't help any of them during this moment of the season. Los Culés were not able to establish their dominance, and Getafe could not build on their home field advantage to defeat their distinguished visitors.
But fans were not as worried as they should about Messi's lack of luck in front of the goal, or Luis Suarez's inability to score in La Liga. The talk of the game was all focused on referee Vicandi Garrido,who had a rather disappointing performance.
Fans trolled the ref for his poor decision-making, like for instance, the moment when he missed to clear handballs, one in each team's box.
"Handball does not exist in Vicandi Garrido's dictionary"

But his shining moment of the evening was on stoppage time, ending the game when Getafe were approaching Barcelona's box with one man to beat. Fans at the stadium went crazy, and the players criticized the ref's decision.
"Intolerable! It's unbelievable that with this kind of play going on, Vicandi Garrido decides to end the game"

Here you have more reactions to this game's outcome.
"Vicandi Garrido is a phenomenon! He gave every little foul to the culés, and to make matters worse he sabotaged Alvaro Vazquez's last chance!"
Vicandi Garrido es un fenómeno!!! Todas las "faltitas" dudosas para el lado culé y para colmo sabotea la ocasión final de Alvaro Vázquez

"Disappointed by Vicandi Garrido's refereeing. Two penalty kicks not awarded, he ends the game when Getafe had the chance to win it.He was overwhelmed."
Lamentable arbitraje de Vicandi Garrido. Dos penaltis no señalados, pita el final cuando el Getafe tiene ocasión clara de gol...Sobrepasado.

"Barcelona's MOTM? Vicandi Garrido, for ending the game before Getafe scored."
El mejor del Barcelona: Vicandi Garrido. Por pitar el final del partido antes de que el Getafe marcara al Barcelona. https://t.co/cOgHIL1Q99

And finally, Ronaldo's fans had a chance to blast Luis Suarez's season so far.
Suarez has now gone over 8 & a half hours without scoring a La Liga goal for Barcelona. (@UltraSuristic) pic.twitter.com/gNz6Nl78p6
