Turkish Super League match abandoned after fans attack official

The Turkish super league match between Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor on Sunday was abandoned in the 89th minute after Trabzonspor fans stormed on to the pitch and attacked an official.

Istanbul side Fenerbahce, who are second in the standings, were leading 4-0 after goals by Alper Potuk, Volkan Sen, Nani and Robin van Persie.

After Trabzonspor supporters ran on to the pitch, one of them tackled an assistant referee and kicked and punched him until security intervened.

Opinion: Besiktas's job not done yet !

Although  Fenerbahce lost a huge momentum and the gap is 5 points , Besiktas does not have the championship in their bag ! 

Here is why....

There are six more rounds to finish the league and every match is important and difficult!

Like this weekend ... 

Besiktas goes to Sivas . Sivas is desperate for points ! 

They still have to play against Galatasaray and Akhisar ...

Everyone remembers Akhisar disaster from last season ! 

Most important one ... 

Their last match agains in Konya ! 

Nothing is for sure yet for Besiktas but they are one and half step ahead of  Fenerbahce...

As far as Fenerbahce, they have to win their all six games now starting this weekend at home against Mersin ! 

And look for Besiktas to lose points along the way ...

Their last match in Sivas will be huge ! 

So, who ever is focused,  they will win the championship...

We have seen Besiktas up front and ahead of Galatasaray last season around this time but , they could not reach the finish line ! 

Because of all intern problem at Fenerbahce, Besiktas has better chance but, they have to be clutch team ...

Turkish President Opens Besiktas New Stadium Vodafone Arena !

Black Eagles returning home ......

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday inaugurated the brand new Istanbul waterfront stadium of the Besiktas football club, whose hardcore fans have been virulently hostile to his rule.

The formal opening did not take place inside the stadium -- which was almost entirely empty -- but beneath one of the stands in front of selected VIPs with some complaining normal supporters had been robbed of the chance to participate in the long-awaited event.

 

Besiktas in 2013 played for the last time at their old stadium in the same historic location on the shores of the Bosphorus just above the Ottoman-era Dolmabahce Palace.

 

That stadium -- which was named after the second president of modern Turkey Ismet Inonu -- was knocked down and the over 40,000 capacity Vodafone Arena built in its place.

 

Besiktas, currently locked in a thrilling fight for the league title with arch Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce, have been homeless since then and the opening of the new stadium has been greeted with relief by fans.

 

"#EveDonuyoruz," tweeted fans. "We are going home."

 

 

"I wish our eagles all the best for their new home," said Erdogan, wearing a scarf in the black-and-white colours of Besiktas, known by fans as the "Black Eagles".

 

"I believe that this stadium we are opening will be embraced by all the fans... Besiktas, Turkey's oldest, most established sports club has long deserved such a stadium," he said before cutting the ribbon.

 

Erdogan, in his youth a serious amateur player, then engaged in a light-hearted kickabout on the pitch with Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his predecessor Abdullah Gul with whom he reportedly has poisoned relations.

Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman  was also on the pitch with Erdogan, Gul and Davutoglu ..

Erdogan gave the first pass to Fikret Orman.

This is huge accomplishment by Fikret Orman and Besiktas board of directors ...

Vodafone had a huge impact in this project ...

I would like to congrat all the parties and Besiktas doing thsi stadium in three years...
