Samsunspor President Yüksel Yıldırım reacted to the referee's decisions after the Fenerbahçe match. Criticizing Halil Umut Meler, Yıldırım said, "I'm not complaining, but please talk a lot about the referee tonight, please. Speak for us. He went to VAR twice and didn't give it. The ball hit the hand. The situation is shown only once. There was definitely a handball."
In the 8th week of the Trendyol Super League, Samsunspor and Fenerbahçe ended in a 0-0 draw. After the match, Samsunspor President Yüksel Yıldırım criticized the referee's decisions.
"PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE REFEREE A LOT TONIGHT"
Yüksel Yıldırım, who reacted to the management of the match referee Halil Umut Meler, said, "Of course, we are sad about the draw, but we are also happy that we got one point. I am not complaining, but please talk about the referee a lot tonight, please. Talk for us. He went to VAR twice and did not give it. The ball hit the hand. Last year, Halil Umut Meler did not give a penalty in the match we lost 3-2 to Galatasaray. There was a foul in the goal we conceded. We are experiencing the same things again today. What can we say, health is important. One point is one point."
"THERE WAS DEFINITELY A HANDBALL"
Yıldırım, who stated that Skriniar touched the ball with his hand and that a penalty decision should have been made, said, "I am not saying anything about offside, but it hits the hand there. The position is shown once. There was definitely a hand. Talk about the referee tonight. Our goal was disallowed. VAR does not call for offside. I am very curious about what they talked about. Skriniar's position was also a penalty."
