In the statement made by the green-blue club, it was claimed that some referee decisions in the matches they played in recent weeks caused serious question marks in the community and the public.
In the statement, it was stated that there is deep concern that as the weeks progress, the efforts of the football players and the technical team on the field are overshadowed by controversial decisions, and the following is noted:
“We are concerned about the fact that the foul decisions made against us were not implemented in our favor in similar positions, and the attacks that were unfairly interrupted, and the standard was not met in the practices. The penalty decision in the last Gaziantep FK match surprised not only our club but also the sports public. The reason why the VAR review was activated and the decision made after the monitoring damaged the belief in football staying on the field.”
In the statement, it was claimed that similar controversial decisions have been made frequently against Çaykur Rizespor since the past years, and said, “It causes our club and our fans to enter into a justified questioning. As Çaykur Rizespor, our only wish is that these processes are carefully examined and equal standards are applied for all clubs.” statements were included.
