"Dear Mr. President,
During the qualification match for EURO 2012 between Ireland and
Armenia held on 11 October 2011 in Dublin the referee Iturralde
Gonzalez made appaling errors of judgement that affected the outcome
of the match, leaving the Armenain fans deeply disheartened.

the demand that the referee's errors in this match be condemned

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you."
