Çaykur Rizespor Club Vice President Fatih Bakoğlu reacted to the referee's decisions after the match against Corendon Alanyaspor.
''UNPRECEDENTED DECISION''
Bakoğlu stated in his written statement, "The scenario is the same again, the audacity to question through Çaykur Rizespor. An unprecedented red card decision in the 6th minute; moreover, turning the first foul position of the match into a red card with the speed of an athlete."
''A DARK NIGHT IN TURKISH FOOTBALL''
Bakoğlu claimed that another dark night was experienced in Turkish football and noted the following in his statement:
"As if it wasn't enough that the central referee, who was as upset as the Alanyaspor players about the goal we scored in the 66th minute, this time VAR referee Onur Özütoprak intervenes, thinking 'He will do what is necessary anyway,' and invites the central referee to VAR, destroying the quality of the match. The rest is known! Not only the Rizespor community but also the sports public is astonished."
Bakoğlu expressed that the most written sentence in phone messages was 'Once again, an operation was carried out against Çaykur Rizespor,' stating, "At this point, our most distinct feeling is anger, followed by disappointment. If you think that the group determined to make Çaykur Rizespor pay in their imaginary world believes we are soft-headed, that would be the delusion of your life. One day, the tables will turn."
