Former referee drops a bombshell: Claim that the 'derby could be replayed' on the broadcaster!

Following the Galatasaray-Beşiktaş derby, which caused a major stir in the football community, a striking assessment came from former referee and BeIN Sports commentator Deniz Çoban.

On the Trio program aired by the broadcaster, Çoban claimed that a procedure followed during the match could constitute grounds for a "replay."

beIN Sports referee commentator Deniz Çoban stated that the Galatasaray-Beşiktaş match could be "replayed" due to a rule violation.

Deniz Çoban used the following expressions in his remarks:

"Beşiktaş made a substitution. The referee stopped the game for Osimhen's injury. The game restarted with a dropped ball. It stayed in play for about 10 seconds, then a warning came from the sidelines. The warning was that the Beşiktaş team was going to make a substitution. The referee stopped the game. You do not stop the game for a substitution while the game is in progress. The referee made a mistake by stopping the game."

"According to the instructions, the game can be stopped 3 times"

"Even though Beşiktaş had two substitutions ready, the referee might have restarted the game after the first one was completed. It is a significant error for the referee. Why is this important? According to the Laws of the Game and the instructions, each team can make 5 substitutions, and as long as they do not do it during halftime, they can stop the game 3 times to make those 5 substitutions."

"Beşiktaş stopped it 4 times"

"It had already stopped twice here. Beşiktaş stopped the game two more times for substitutions. While they could stop the game for substitutions a maximum of 3 times as written in the instructions, Beşiktaş stopped it 4 times."

"This does not matter"

"While Galatasaray was making a substitution, Beşiktaş did too. This does not matter. Both teams are considered to have done it separately."

"The Central Referee Committee (MHK) will request an additional report from the referee"

"If there is an objection regarding this situation, this objection will be made to the TFF (Turkish Football Federation). As a result of the objection, the TFF will ask for an opinion from the MHK. They will ask for an explanation. The MHK will then request an additional report from the referee. The referee will provide an additional report to the MHK explaining how this incident occurred and why the referee implemented such a procedure. The MHK will then provide an opinion to the TFF regarding this."

"The TFF could replay the derby"

"Accordingly, the TFF can ratify the score, have it replayed from the moment of the substitution, or have it replayed from the beginning. The authority lies with the TFF. The additional report that Yasin Kol will provide is very important in terms of clarifying what happened here."
