Fenerbahçe demands the release of VAR records! “We are ready to replay if necessary”

Returning from the international break, Fenerbahçe hosted Fatih Karagümrük on their home turf in the 13th week of the Süper Lig and won the match 2-1.

The performance of the match referee Arda Kardeşler caused controversy in the sports community. The Galatasaray management decided to hold an emergency meeting regarding the issue.

In a statement made today, Fenerbahçe claimed that their arch-rival was trying to manipulate public perception and demanded that the VAR records of the Karagümrük match be released.

The Yellow-Navies also stated that they would be willing to replay the match if Fatih Karagümrük agrees.

FENERBAHÇE'S STATEMENT

"We are closely following the agenda created regarding a position in the match our Football Team played against VavaCars Fatih Karagümrük in the 13th week of the Süper Lig.

While we respect the comments of the sports community regarding the critical positions in the match, we watched the position taken by Galatasaray Sports Club yesterday regarding our match with a 'smile'.

It is known to the public that decisions have been made against us in almost all critical moments and nearly all gray-area positions since the first week of the season.

This situation did not change in the 33rd minute of our VavaCars Fatih Karagümrük match played last night, and our position that should have been a penalty was evaluated as a free kick.

While a clear penalty position for our team was overlooked, bringing the entire match to the public agenda solely through our opponent's justified penalty expectation is a new example of the perception management that has been going on for years.

In this way, creating the manipulation that Fenerbahçe is being favored means manipulating the blatant harm done to our team for weeks.

We will not allow the reflex of using this agenda, which stems from the DNA of Galatasaray Sports Club, to create a perception with cunning by ignoring all the steps taken against Fenerbahçe and in their favor for weeks.

The hypocrisy of the club, which is the address of the word 'Ofsaytımsı' (offside-ish), which has entered the Turkish football literature never to be erased, which makes every subject 'useful' through its hands in the system, which travels from channel to channel saying we have proven documents in our hands but ends up presenting nothing, and which tries to set the agenda with its manipulations on social media and in the media, is evident.

Based on all these facts;

As the Fenerbahçe Football Team and community, which has been kept out of the race and against which public opinion has been formed, with countless myths produced about it being 'made champion' in the past 9 seasons despite not being champion for nine '9' seasons; we clearly state that this season will not be like the seasons you have memorized.

We expect the VAR records of the penalty position in the 52nd minute, which is one of the positions in the last match our team played, and if desired, the entire match, to be released.

As the side that has been exposed to gross errors almost every week since the beginning of the season, we invite everyone who has the courage to support this call for the release of VAR records of all controversial positions, including those of our rivals.

As Fenerbahçe Sports Club; we announce to the public that we are ready to replay the match we played last night if our opponent, Vavacars Fatih Karagümrük Team, also gives their approval.

Furthermore, we present some data for the public's appreciation.

• According to the data of the TRIO program on the Süper Lig broadcaster beIN SPORTs, as of the 13th week, 5 (five) referee decisions have been made against Fenerbahçe, and 1 (one) in favor of Galatasaray.

(These are data prepared based on penalty, red card, and goal decisions.)

• In addition, the yellow card and red card data regarding the first 13-week league race are as follows."
