The Galatasaray – Adana Demirspor match was abandoned. Adana Demirspor President Murat Sancak withdrew his team from the pitch following the penalty Galatasaray won with Mertens.
Following this incident, the football world was in turmoil. Many football commentators discussed the issue. Among these names was Uğur Karakullukçu.
Uğur Karakullukçu commented on the penalty position, saying, “I would say it is not a penalty. 3 out of 8 referees would call it a penalty, 5 would say it is not. It is that kind of position. Because it is that kind of position, VAR did not intervene.”
“IF THIS WEREN'T MY JOB, I WOULD NOT WATCH TURKISH FOOTBALL”
Uğur Karakullukçu's other comments were as follows:
“There is someone using the club he brought down. No one can convince me that this is a rebellion from within football. A great duty falls upon the TFF here, but they will not do it. Murat Sancak should no longer have any connection with football. Measures need to be taken so that this can never be done again.
If my job and livelihood were not Turkish football, I would not watch this league. Which child would watch this league? They would go and watch League of Legends instead.
Get well soon to those who went to the stadium. They left their work to go to the match, they left their partners to go to the match. It is a disrespect to 50 thousand people.”
