If the Bochumers had refused to continue playing, one could somehow argue. That’s how it is nonsense.
Gladly again for you: the game ended. Since the referee did not see any security concerns, he released the game again after the interruption. If the VfL then no longer competes, it would have been a victory for Union. Then you don’t have to pull the court, the situation would have been clear.
At first it is important to me that VfL Bochum came into the victim role through no fault of their own. You can do absolutely nothing and this is a point that should not be forgotten in the whole discussion. I also deliberately clip the theories about Drewes regarding the ability to play, sick leave, etc., because it is not provable and actually does not matter for the process. He was demonstrably hit, that is not possible and cannot be tolerated, point.
How to deal with the imposed victim role is the responsibility of VfL Bochum. And in my eyes you don’t show yourself from your best, sportiest side.
Your described to the end of the protest is then a conscious calculation of VfL Bochum?
We are finishing, at least we have the draw and then let’s see if we can somehow get an advantage at the green table.
You can do it, but in my eyes it is not really fair.
For me there would have been exactly two options on how to deal with this situation.
1. I end and accept the sporting result
2. I refuse to continue the game, pull it in front of the sports court and have it decided at the green table, with all the consequences that a non -movement can also bring for VfL with it
So we have now been punished by VfL Bochum, Union Berlin is punished and at least three uninvolved clubs are disadvantaged. And all of this because of the misconduct of an individual (who belongs hard). Is that really in terms of sporting competition?
In my eyes, you can find certain arguments for punishing Union Berlin (high fine or withdrawal from the point obtained), even if a lighter is a legal object in a stadium and I wonder how the organizer should have prevented this.
But why you will be advised (whoever saw the game has already known that the non -aggression pact was an advantage for you and you took the draw with kiss hand) and uninvolved clubs are disadvantaged, I absolutely cannot understand that.
Of course you didn’t speak the verdict either, but as already described, you are responsible for the further course after the throw.
You will not care and will probably be alive here. You can certainly understand from your point of view, maybe you can understand my point of view if you put yourself into the role of an uninvolved association.
I just hope that at the end of the season there is a decision in the relegation battle, which does not matter this judgment. It would be a shame for the Bundesliga and in general for sport if such a judgment (broken down the deed of an individual) about class membership, millions and jobs.
On a fair relegation battle
