The Turkish Football Federation announced the analyses of MHK Elite Referee Director Anthony Taylor regarding referee decisions in Süper Lig and 1st League matches played in September.
Details of the Analysis Process
According to the statement made by the Turkish Football Federation, it was stated that these analyses, in which referee decisions are handled in line with technical criteria, will be shared with the public at periods determined throughout the season.
Incidents in the Başakşehir vs. Galatasaray Match
Sallai's intervention making full contact with his opponent's face was evaluated as unsporting, and the expected and final decision of a penalty and a yellow card was found to be correct. Umut Bozok's excessive force intervention against Rafael Leao was correctly punished with a red card due to serious foul play.
Decisions in the Fenerbahçe vs. Beşiktaş Match
Agbadou's arm being in a natural position during his intervention on the ball and the decision that there was no handball were found to be correct. In Vlahovic's disallowed goal, it was stated that the contact was light and the referee should have delayed his whistle, and the decision was evaluated as incorrect. Kerem Aktürkoğlu's penalty expectation was confirmed to have taken place outside the penalty area.
Controversial Incidents in Other Matches
In the Galatasaray vs. Kocaelispor match, Deniz Gül's disallowed goal due to kicking the ball under the goalkeeper's control was explained as a correct free kick decision. In the Trabzonspor vs. Galatasaray match, Ugochukwu's red card resulting from his intervention endangering his opponent's safety was also found to be correct.
New Referee Instruction and Swearing Criterion
Krasniqi's expression towards the referee in the Amed SF vs. Beşiktaş match was evaluated. With the instruction change made by the MHK, it was announced that the English reaction 'f... off' will also be accepted as a severe insult like 'f... you' and will be punished with a red card.
