Galatasaray and Fenerbahce interact in the final minutes of their Turkey Super League derby match that ended in a 0-0 draw at the Ali Sami Yen stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, Sunday, April 12, 2009.(AP Photo/Ibrahim Usta)The Verdict is in for the ugly match that happened last weekend.
The Turkish Football Federation's Discipline committee came down hard and handed the suspensions
Here are the suspensions.
Diego Lugano : 5 matches from Fenerbahce
Semih Senturk: 3 matches from Fenerbahce
Volkan Demirel: 3 matches from Fenerbahce
Arda Turan: 3 matches from Galatasaray
Emre Asik: 2 matches from Galatasaray
Sabri Sarioglu: 2 matches from Galatasaray
Galatasaray team president Adnan Polat was also suspended 45 days from Galatasaray matches and Galatasaray team will play one match without spectator and Galatasaray one home match will be played in out side of Istanbul.
Both Fener and GS killed off their own championship hopes with these sanctions by the TFF. But for the President Adnan Polat to receive 45day suspension is very difficult to understand. Is he being held responsible for the crowd disturbance?
ReplyDeleteNO, Daniel, he is suspended because he blamed the TFF for being a part of a set-up. He deserved it, and I am a Gala fan.
ReplyDeleteCheers--
TFF shows its fairness. When GS fans are stabbed in Kadikoy, no sanction, but for this match two home match ban...Adnan Polat is correct this was a TFF set up.....finally the GS board speak out about the garbage that GS gets treated with week in week out.
