– It’s crazy. I am so tired of the Norwegian judges. It is completely unnecessary to give cards in the first one. It is a battle for the ball and not an ugly game at all. The second is good, but it has consequences for us, Hareide told Eurosport during the break.
Because when Islamovic got his second yellow card from referee Sigurd Smehus Kringstad in first-half overtime, the road got a lot heavier for Hareide’s men.
Rosenborg held on for a while, but Aron Dønnum’s goal in the 76th minute was the tongue in the balance.

Controversial cancellation
Vålerenga came under extreme pressure towards the end of the match, and in the last minute of the match it appeared that Rosenborg had tied.
However, the target was defeated, although television images did not give a clear answer as to why.
– We do not fully understand why it is judged there, but the referee said it blows on Dahl Reitan, Hareide said after the match.
Most likely it was Erlend Dahl Reitan’s blocking move that Judge Kringstad ruled. The protagonist himself did not agree with the decision.
– I’ll be a little careful what I say, but now the closet is too hot. Every round there is nonsense with the judges. They have a unique ability to focus. There are big decisions going against us in every round now, so it’s tough, says Reitan.
Show off by judges in September
Most recently, in September, when Hareide had just returned to Rosenborg and Norwegian football, he was asked about the level of the Norwegian referees. Then he answered the following:

– It’s almost impossible to answer. It is unfair to judge them after having coached the elite series in three games. I think the judges that we have had so far have judged well. There have been no controversies in those games, so I am very happy about that. Many of them are young and I think they have handled it well.
But on Monday, Hareide wasn’t so happy.
Thus, Vålerenga won 1-0 in the top match and has six points less than Rosenborg in the battle for bronze. It is true that Trøndelag has played one game less, so nothing has been decided.
