Ertuğrul Doğan's referee outcry after the Başakşehir match: 'They are hindering Turkish football's progress'
Following Trabzonspor's 2-1 win over Başakşehir, President Ertuğrul Doğan sharply criticized the referee decisions and addressed the TFF.
In the 2nd week of the Süper Lig, Trabzonspor defeated İstanbul Başakşehir 2-1 at home. President Ertuğrul Doğan made a harsh statement about the refereeing after the match. Doğan expressed his discomfort with the referee decisions that had occurred in just the first two weeks of the league.
Emphasizing that as a club they have been working in a planned manner with the technical staff and players for two years, Doğan said that the developments in both the first week and the Başakşehir match were unacceptable. The president stated that there was no point in coming to Trabzon and 'playing with people's nerves,' underlining that their intention was neither to create controversy nor conflict.
In his statement, Doğan directly addressed the TFF President, saying that such referee decisions hinder the development of Turkish football. The Trabzonspor President stated that they do not want anyone to unfairly create difficulties for them, and emphasized that all referees need to be more careful not just in this match, but in every match to be played.
