Turkish club president punches ref

[Coffee]

"Turkish football bosses suspended all leagues after a referee was punched to the ground by a club president following a top-flight game on Monday. Halil Umut Meler was struck by MKE Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca, who ran on to the pitch after his team conceded a 97th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 Super Lig draw with Caykur Rizespor. Unbelievable. All club games have been suspended in Turkey. But what kind of further punishment awaits Mr Koca? Relegation plus a massive fine? I hope David Sullivan doesn't get any ideas..."

"I witnessed a ref get his jaw broken by a player who played for a team of yardies from Guildford. He then proceeded to offer everyone out for a fight, including opposition players, his own team mates, and fans watching. Bloke was a lunatic."

"Seems a bit self important of the Turkish FA to halt the whole league over this. Just one bloke, one punch. Happens. Ref should should be suspended for simulation."

[WHU(Exeter)]

Bit of banter and tbf the ref does have a face that you’d want to punch.

"Coffee 7:07 Tue Dec 12 ""I hope David Sullivan doesn't get any ideas..."" I suppose we can rest easy knowing that even if Sullivan did get that idea, the whole stadium would be long empty before he could cover the distance to reach the ref in the middle of the pitch?"

"FMOB! https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67688071?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA ""This attack is a night of shame for Turkish football,"" he added. Meler received several blows from others as he lay on the turf and suffered injuries including a minor fracture. The incident sparked chaotic scenes involving players and club officials."

Another 10 point deduction for Everton for failing to control the owner of another football club...* Nicked*

"Loons in that part of the world, it was only a couple of seasons ago that the PAOK owner in Greece strutted onto the pitch with a revolver in a holster"

[Far Cough]

"FMOB Ball, you got a link for that?"

[LeroysBoots]

Decisive action by the Turkish FA banning all football until a review has taken place. No fucking way would the liberal twats do that here

[On The Ball]

Sensational viewing. The other angles of people putting the boot in while he's on the ground are flabbergasting - quite how anyone thinks they're getting away with that I don't know.

[Takashi Miike]

"haven't seen the goal or if seven minutes extra time was needed but I have seen enough just this season that corruption is rife throughout the sport, and technology has done nothing but make it worse. refereeing standards have got no better since I stopped going"

[Manuel]

"Good, it's not before time that a ref was laid out. Vermin, the lot of them."
