  1. 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?

  2. NO, 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.

  3. 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.
