What happened in Turkish football today? 19/03/2024


 

Hooligans wanted for chaos to take place.

Events which took place during Super League game between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce with supporters attacking Fenerbahce players is not dominating Turkish sports world but also whole society.

According to Turkish Justice minister Yusuf Tunc investigation is going in pretty active manner with 12 people being taken into custody while 38 suspects has been identified by police. Even through Trabzonspor does tend to state that Fenerbahce players provacated events it needs to be mentioned that it is clear that number of hooligans at the game did go to the game with an intention to raise such activities as it could be seen from throwing items into field and also events. Sadly, Trabzonspor tries to defend itself and find excuses in the event where it shouldnt be to do and it does look for now at least that this investigation would be willing to provide punishments to all hooligans who were present at the field.

Whatever Fenerbahce players did, Trabzonspor hooligans had an aim to raise tension and chaos at the game and hence dont deserve any defence for themselves. 

PFDK needs to be fair and harsh with its decisions.

One of the questions would be how would TFF and PFDK act following such events and what kind of actions would be taken both to Trabzonspor due of behaviour of its fans and also Fenerbahce players who have beaten opponent supporters in aim to defend themselves.

Once again PFDK is once again does have difficult task at providing punishments according to an event and it needs to be pretty harsh. It needs to be mentioned that whatever would be fines and bans, Trabzonspor would be affected negatively from its supporters actions with recieving high number of supporters ban very likely until end of the season for sure. Coming from Fenerbahce perspective there would be some fines and bans towards Fenerbahce players for attacking Trabzonspor supporters for defence but it would be reduced and could only go down to 1 game and this would be at place when looking into events which happened.

Fenerbahce will discuss if it should leave Super League on 2nd April

PFDK does have difficult task but if it would focus into facts and providing bans and fines according to events it would make that task much easier for themselves.

Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc has made statement that question of taking his club outside of Super League would be discussed at administrative meeting on 2nd April as sign of protest for not only events on Trabzonspor but also other events and attitude towards team in recent years and stating if they dont want this club at top league than they would not compete at it. It is unlikely that this decision would come out but this issue does show that it send strong message to TFF and other clubs.

Fenerbahce needed to provide strong message following this events and this has been case without doubt to raise pressure towards Turkish football world.
