Violent attack on referee in Turkish league

Clattenburg must be counting his blessings.

Nah in a normal country with normal laws the owner is probably going to court an hour later.

The PL are actively seeking to link us to this.

A further points deduction looming.

Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca: "My aim was to react verbally to the referee and spit in his face. The slap I gave would not cause a fracture. After my slap, the referee threw himself on the ground. They immediately removed me from the scene because I have a heart condition.”


lol

A lack of one apparently.

Shocking tbh.
Remember an amateur ref in Dundee got punched in front of about 30 witnesses....nobody seen a thing.

Were the witnesses all referees too then?

Sorry, I couldn't resist

Ref went pure compo face didn’t he.

As much as I’d have loved to slap a few of the bent officials we’ve had do us over the years, it’s just disgraceful.

Someone in the family enclosure lashed a bottle at the referee on Sunday. I'm surprised we haven't been charged and fined for it, or the press made more of it.

Doh!!

I'd love to see the calls that set this off and the actual event...

Things seem to be a bit crazier over there

Deserved an early Turkish bath for that one.

Well definitely really poor refereeing but seems he just weirdly gave cards out like candy to both teams unless something wasnt shown. I guess they are holding back video of the violent attack(though Ive thought almost all attacks were violent).

The list of incidents like this in Turkish football is a surprisingly long list when you look into it.
