Besiktas has got an important win prior to game against Fenerbahce.
Besiktas has gained a very important win prior to the week before playing against Fenerbahce and also taking account that their current title race rivals has lost 2 points to Bursaspor on Saturday. As usual, Besiktas has dominated the game despite of winning only with 1:0 scoreline against tough opponent Genclerbirligi.
Since Genclerbirligi knew that it is playing against strong opponent and trying itself to get far from relegation zone it was not surprising that Genclerbirligi has decided to play mainly defensive play at today's game. With this even through Besiktas has managed to find high number of attacks during the moment due of difficulty it tough moments at the game and had only found one goal which was scored with main goalscorer Mario Gomez after 2 weeks of break. Besiktas once again has played very forward looking game showing previous 2 games was just short period of poor performance.
Besiktas has got leadership of 1 point against Fenerbahce with 1 point in its hand with the week before against them which plays an incredible role at this year season title race. It was important for Besiktas to get today win prior to an important game next week which it manages to do.
Meanwhile, Genclerbirligi knowing its strength has played smart football despite of having 4 out of 4 record prior to this game. In fact, Genclerbirligi was close to get 1 point from today game, which would be great achievement in game against Besiktas.
Kuddisi Muftuoglu has provided worst performance of this season by referees.
The main focus of the Turkish sports media, quite rightly, was into Trabzonspor player Salih Dursun giving red card to the referee of Super League game between Galatasaray and Trabzonspor and general performance of the referee during the game.
Deniz Ates Bitnel following the game has recieved criticism from Trabzonspor, sports media and everyone involved at the game as soon as game has ended. In today's press conference, Central Referee Committee CEO Kuddisi Muftioglu has stated that Trabzonspor is a victim here. Even through the turning point was his decisions at the 2nd half, there were number of questionable decisions at the 1st half of the game including penalty to Trabzonspor player Erkan Zengin. In fact,
Deniz Ates Bitnel did not only help Galatasaray to win game but also directly has involved with the result of the game. This surely was worst performance of this season by Turkish referees, and those decisions could directly involve into future of the clubs and with crucial games coming up the future of the season regarding of this view is worrying.
Central Referee Committee needs to take this case in control, statement which has been said several times in this season previous times, because referee are the ones who show level and competivity at this national league. This poor performances of referees could affect into image of Turkish football around the world.
Salih Dursun red card move was what many footballers wanted to do in their career.
As soon as Trabzonspor player Salih Dursun has picked from ground red card and has shown towards Galatasaray and Trabzonspor referee Deniz Ates Bitnel, he was seen as the hero by everyone following football. Ex-footballers Ridvan Dilmen and Pascal Nouma has stated that their always wanted to make same movement but didnt have guts.
Salih Dursun has stated that reason for his actions was because it was unfair to play game between 7 players against 12, and he wanted to make the opponents to be 11. It does need to be stated again that Bitnel were also mistaken towards Galatasaray but general idea was correct. There were numerous cases when players did those mistakes and famous case when FIFA CEO Sepp Blatter has stated to Russian referee Valentin Ivanov that "only one at field who deserved red card was referee" at the World Cup 2006 game between Holland and Portugal. Referees has right to make mistakes, but their should never lose control of game. Salih Dursun action was spontaneous but many players wanted to make this move in their career at least once.
Salih Dursun actions should not be glorified as it goes against football spirit but we should understand his decision and raise empathy, which TFF hopefully would consider when punishing him.
