Galatasaray won 2-0 against Samsunspor away in the 31st week of the Süper Lig. The trio team of Bahattin Duran, Bülent Yıldırım, and Deniz Çoban evaluated the controversial positions.

In the 9th minute, was the offside decision correct for the goal scored by Holse of Samsunspor?

Deniz Çoban: Recently, whenever the offside line is drawn, it is not accepted by people. The same company was involved in the World Cup. The same company is also working in the European Championship and the Champions League. This company operates worldwide. We need to put an end to this debate.

Bahattin Duran: The assistant referee thought there was no offside and continued the play. There is semi-offside technology. We must trust the technology. It’s a very critical position. I trust the technology. The offside decision is correct.

Bülent Yıldırım: We trust the technology. The position is offside.

In the 19th minute, was the decision to continue the play correct when Torreira fell? Should a penalty have been awarded?

Deniz Çoban: The referee's position may be correct, but being stationary is unacceptable. That’s why he couldn’t see the action. The defender is acting carelessly. For me, it’s a clear penalty. If the referee had taken two steps to the right, he could have seen the position.

Bahattin Duran: The position where the referee stopped is nice. There is no violation in van Drongelen's elbow action. However, Torreira is interfered with first on his right foot and then on his left foot. The position should have been a penalty.

Bülent Yıldırım: It should have been a penalty and a yellow card.

In the 37th minute The position between Osimhen and van Drongelen

Deniz Çoban: Yellow card.

Bahattin Duran: Osimhen's action is unsportsmanlike. Yellow card.

Bülent Yıldırım: Osimhen should have received a yellow card.

In the 45+2 minute, was the decision correct for the yellow card shown to Eren Elmalı?

Deniz Çoban: The foul is debatable. A foul should not have been given. Why a yellow card? Is it a promising attack? No. Is it a reckless action? No.

Bahattin Duran: Holse has taken the ball and turned back to his own half. He turned his back to the goal. There is an intervention from Eren, but the referee's decision is whether to give a foul or not. There should not be a yellow card here. Holse is turning back. The card is wrong.

Bülent Yıldırım: It’s a card that doesn’t fit a yellow card in any way. He gave it by rote.

In the 56th minute, should Zeki Yavru have received a card for the foul on Barış Alper Yılmaz?

Deniz Çoban: Clear yellow card.

Bahattin Duran: Zeki is aware that he has missed Barış. There should have been a foul and a yellow card.

Bülent Yıldırım: Very clear foul. The arm is above shoulder level. An indisputable yellow card.

Did Emre Kılınç handle the ball with his hand? Should a penalty decision have been made?

Deniz Çoban: As soon as Emre realized he couldn’t control the ball, he played it with his hand. There should have been a yellow card along with the handball.

Bahattin Duran: Since it is outside the penalty area, there cannot be a penalty, but there should have been a free kick.

Bülent Yıldırım: If Emre hadn’t handled the ball, Eren would have taken the ball and gone. It was a tactical handball. There should have been a yellow card.

In the 65th minute, was the yellow card decision for van Drongelen correct in the position between van Drongelen and Sallai?

Deniz Çoban: Sallai should have also received a card.

Bahattin Duran: First, van Drongelen committed the foul. The yellow card is correct. Sallai's action is uncontrolled. Sallai should have also received a card.

Bülent Yıldırım: The yellow card shown to van Drongelen is correct. It should have also been given to Sallai.

In the 85th minute, was the decision correct for the yellow card shown to Ismail Jakobs?

Deniz Çoban: Why is the referee giving a yellow card for this? Is there a foul here? Both the foul and the yellow card are wrong.

Bahattin Duran: The yellow card is wrong. There is no explanation for giving a yellow card for this.

Bülent Yıldırım: Today the referee made a mistake by saying "probably".
