Antalyaspor Deputy Chairman Deniz Ali Yeşil criticized the refereeing in the match where they drew 2-2 with İstanbulspor in the 26th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig.
Speaking to reporters after the match at Corendon Airlines Park Antalya Stadium, Yeşil expressed that they were very upset.
"ANTALYASPOR WAS BUTCHERED"
Stating that they did not play good football in the second half of the match, Yeşil used the following expressions:
"What happened to us this week is the offside call given in last week's Samsun match. It took seven minutes for a decision to be made on the offside. We now think there is an ulterior motive behind this. The fourth official gives the ball to the opposing team even though it went out for a throw-in right in front of him. As a result, we end the match in a draw with a penalty. We no longer see this as a referee error. We really say, 'Let's maintain our composure.' We say, 'Let's maintain our sportsmanship,' but where will this lead? It is as if something is being done against Antalyaspor. We will seek our rights to the end. We will not leave it here. This many mistakes cannot happen one after another. If we go back to the Samsunspor match, we bring the score to 1-0. The line is drawn incorrectly. It is not drawn properly, and in the goal we conceded, a position that was offside is not seen as offside. All of Turkey sees this. There is something called VAR. It is unclear whether it exists or not. They cannot see it. Here, it is clear as day right in front of the fourth official. Antalyaspor was officially butchered today. In other words, they did not let us play football."
