The 62nd minute runs when the waves at the Altenburg stadium overflow. Referee Imo Karabacak shows the red card to a Wettingen player, but removes it after consulting his assistant and instead sends another Wettingen player off the field. Apparently too much for the club president, Pierluigi Ghitti. According to the Aargauer Zeitung, he is said to have insulted Karabcak as an “abnormal, inexperienced and idiotic man”.
Ghitti himself does not want to know anything about it: “I myself was a referee for 25 years and I realized that Karabacak had lost him completely. I asked the referee if he really wanted to eliminate all the players until he found the right one. Then I got up, left the stands and walked towards the opposite goal. “
But one thing has to be very clear: “I did not abuse the referee. Karabacak accuses me of abusing him with strong expressions like freak and idiot. That is simply not true. Those words are not part of my vocabulary. “Karabacak told the Aargauer Zeitung:” I did nothing wrong, because I know Ghitti’s voice very well. It is unmistakable. In the end, I only reported what I heard and saw. “
Verband straft Ghitti ab
The Aargau Football Association (AFV) takes the referee’s side, Ghitti is sanctioned with four game suspensions, a fine of 410 francs and the deduction of twelve penalty points in the equity classification.
Too much for the president, who does not want to put the serious accusations to rest and has called a lawyer. The head of Wettingen threatens a civil lawsuit if the referee upholds his claim. “I demand fairness and justice from the referees and assistants,” he says. “As long as I don’t understand this, I have to defend myself. I have decided to retire as a sponsor of the Aargau Referees Association. “
By the way: The game between Wettingen and Oftringen ends 4: 5. Oftringen forward Skopljak Dejan shines with a five-pack. (skr)
