Ibrahim Hatipoglu announced his worries for Turkish Cup game against Fenerbahce regarding referee.
Galatasaray administrator Ibrahim Hatipoglu has made statement regarding of referee which has been appointed to derby game at derby game against Fenerbahce at Turkish Cup focussing mainly into his inexperience.
Stating that main issue for team is level of referee rather than his nationality, he adds that Cihan Aydin doesn’t have much experience and is not FIFA branched referee. Hatipoglu also notices that some drastic measures both with foreign referee and security measure were taken during game which has been at their ground but not same measures are pleasant at Fenerbahce stadium which does show that TFF does take some stance at both games in their view and does argue rightfully to some extend that this does show TFF is not treating issue equally. Galatasaray does have some rightfully viewpoint but to some extend keep rising tensions especially at Ramadan holiday would not be great strategy.
It also needs to be reminded that despite of worry during derby game against Besiktas, referee did pretty good job and it would be good for each party interested that Cihan Aydin would have also good office day at derby game.
