What happened in Turkish football today? 01/10/2019


Galatasaray did show good organised game despite losing to PSG.

Galatasaray did provide pretty impressive and strong performance during Champions League Group A 2nd week game against PSG despite of losing with 1:0 scoreline and have shown great tactical performance after 20th minute.

In all fairness only downside from today's game shown by Galatasaray has been poor start of the game at which period it didnt provide any strong performance tactically and hence has led opponent to have high amount of the chances. In fact, it could be stated that it was partly lucky and partly needs to thank Muslera saves. However, from 15-20th minute Galatasaray has started into getting at the right focus and slowly started to prevent PSG to go forward and create chances. It was seen during game as whole of course that PSG has created many chances and quality factor but Galatasaray did show that its not hugely behind of performance. It did show some organised moments and has managed to control game with leading game with 0:0 scoreline and 1:0 scoreline after period. In overall, possibly Galatasaray has shown its best performance during this season as it shown organised well-planned game after having control and even through winning game would be too much, but it did deserve draw with this performance.

PSG meanwhile didnt use their opportunity at first minutes as it managed to score it would be able to carry on controlling game but even when game was balanced it show its quality and got huge advantage to get out from group with 2 wins.

Galatasaray did provide some positive performance against and with Real Madrid losing 5 points so far it can technically aim for 2nd place and this good performance could affect for rest of season.

TFF has terminated contract of referee Suat Arslanboga

TFF following its administrative meeting has made suprising and unexpected decision for terminating contract with its referee Suat Arslanboga via suggestion it has recieved from Central Referee Committee.

It is true that referees has been fully criticised during this season and Suat Arslanboga has been among them especially during Super League 5th week game against Rizespor where he showed very bad performance. Despite of that it is still surprising that decision has been made and does raise question if it was decided to terminate contract due of his performance during that game or there are some behind the scenes stories which we are not informed about. Without doubt, any issues which were happening were not known to Turkish media as it treated this announcement with big shock. There is also possibility of course that Suat Arslanboga has resigned from his position and provided to referee committee which has accepted it.

Whatever reason for his contract to be terminated information should be given publicly and known what happened.

TFF has declined complaints Ankaragucu and Fenerbahce to repeat games.

TFF during same meeting has made decision regarding of Ankaragucu to repeat Super League game against Fenerbahce on 5th week and also Fenerbahce request to repeat 4th week game against Alanyaspor complaing for breaking rules with decision not to repeat game.

In statement TFF has rightly stated that there wasnt any foul doing during game and no rules has been broken as our blog has stated beforehand. This decision it needs to be noted does acknoledge that this vague and hopefully complaints will not be accepted as both touches in two different games has been done are legimate and so is Papiss Cisse goal with Fenerbahce game. This decision would surely also reduce chances for team to provide complaints in similar manner in near future as if it did repeat games we could be seen similar complaints in regular aspects for sure. From now on teams would provide similar complaints in more clear manner when rule has been broken in more clear manner and not to gain points from administrators.

Therefore, TFF has made right decisions both to maintain its authority and following rules of the game.

Results:
UEFA Champions League, Group A, 2nd week:
Real Madrid 2:2 Club Brugge
Galatasaray 0:1 PSG
