Acun Ilıcalı: We put a stick in the beehive

The derby match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe played at RAMS Park in the 25th week of the Trendyol Super League ended in a goalless draw. After the match, Fenerbahçe Vice President Acun Ilıcalı made a statement.

Speaking about the performance of the match referee Slavko Vincic, Acun Ilıcalı made the following statements:

"We have kicked the bucket in the beehive. The era of looking after is over. I am sure that our teams who see the foreign referee right now are saying 'I wish there was a foreign referee in the Galatasaray match'. If there was a foreign referee, would Beşiktaş have lost here? They skipped 8 cards.

There are allegations of Maribor. I ask. Does anyone know which team our referees support? Why don't we know? I'll explain it here. You can't referee the match of the team you support or the opponent. Can a Galatasaray referee referee a Galatasaray match? Can a Fenerbahçe match?

I am addressing the Turkish public. If there was a foreign referee, there would be no point difference today. Why has the team with the point difference not won in 6 matches in Europe? Which ordinary teams have they not been able to beat? Think about it. Foreign referee today. They have no position. Here is the truth.

Okan Buruk's statements, 'Mourinho is crying. The referee was bad' are perception. In Europe, referees and technical directors shake hands and congratulate each other. I don't think Mourinho threatened them by saying 'You can never referee a match here again'. He congratulated them and left. I understand. They played a very unsuccessful match. A team that was eliminated from Europe. There is a team that could not win with foreign referees..."
