Orduspor, a team from the 3rd League, made allegations of match-fixing after the match against Bursa Nilüfer FK, which ended in a 1-1 draw and caused them to lose the lead to Mardin 1969 Spor. Vice President Akın Çiçek stated, "I am telling the president of Mardin. He should stop sending bonuses to every team we face. Enough with the match-fixing. The real match-fixers are Mardin. Look at the claims in this match, check the betting odds, we received a red card, look at the odds."
Orduspor 1967 drew 1-1 with Bursa Nilüfer FK in a match where they played 65 minutes with 10 players, losing the leadership in Group 4 of the 3rd League to Mardin 1969 Spor. After the match, Orduspor 1967 Vice President Akın Çiçek made allegations of match-fixing.
"MATCH-FIXING, ENOUGH!"
While stating that Mardin was involved in match-fixing, Akın Çiçek said, "I am telling the President of Mardin. He should stop sending bonuses to every team we face. Enough with the match-fixing. The real match-fixer is Mardin. If the observers say the referee from Van who came to this match is a good referee, they should stop this job. Stop messing with us. This team will be the champion one way or another."
"WE KNOW THE PLAYERS FROM NİĞDE, THEY HAVE SENT BONUSES"
Akın Çiçek continued, "Our efforts have been stolen. They have stolen our efforts here. It is shameful, what a disgrace! Niğde is coming in the second week, we have players we know from Niğde. Mardin is sending bonuses with another team. Denizli, with an economy of zero, is training for four days, how do they manage to compete in the match? Today's Bursa Nilüfer, in eighth place, is announcing a match bonus of 100 thousand lira. I won't even mention the referee. The president of Mardin, who accused us of match-fixing in the Ordu - Mardin match, doesn't he raid the locker room in every match in Mardin with his administrators? Doesn't every team that goes there say the same thing? We are not that helpless, it's shameful!"
"IF NECESSARY, WE WILL MARCH TO TFF!"
Stating that they will march to the TFF if necessary, Akın Çiçek said, "We want a special referee for each of our matches. We are not that helpless. I can understand everything; we do not approve of what my friends have done. If the federation does not support us, we will march to the federation if necessary. Our efforts were stolen in this match. This is called theft. We used to think of Bursa as an honorable city. Shame on them."
"TAKE A LOOK AT THE RED CARD RATIO"
Çiçek said, "Well, look at the claims in this match, look at the betting odds, we received a red card, look at the odds. Look at the statistics of the match. They had no chance of beating us 11 to 11, they couldn't score against us, the referee made them score. The same thing happened in the match in Bursa. Enough already. This city is not helpless. From the president in the parliament to the mayor and the deputies, we demand a special investigation regarding this match."
"THIS IS REAL MATCH-FIXING!"
Later, Akın Çiçek made a statement on his social media account, saying, "The scales of justice in football have been disturbed once again today, and honesty has once again fallen into offside! In the match played between Orduspor 1967 and Bursa Nilüfer FK, the fact that the referee was from Bursa is a slap in the face of sports ethics and common sense! We want to ask the Central Referee Committee: Don’t you think this is a bit too much of a coincidence? When it was revealed that the referee, who was said to be from the Van region, actually lived in Bursa, will you say this was just an 'oversight'? Well, why do these eyes always see the same direction, why do they always favor the same teams? Do you have eyes like ours, or not? We are not surprised! These kinds of scandals have reached a point where not being surprised has become surprising. Those who play with the efforts of this city and this team should not forget this: We are fighting with our honor in this league. If you cannot win with the rights of your own strength on the field, do not try to advance with tricks of the whistle. Stealing the efforts of the players sweating on the field, disregarding the love of the fans, distorting the scales of justice… This is real match-fixing!"
