Mizan News Agency – Ali KhosraviIn an interview with the Tehran Sports program, Radio Tehran made statements about the recent attacks against our country’s football referees, excerpts of which can be read below:
* There have always been statements and protests against arbitration in our country, even 40 years ago, when I started arbitration, but it has increased a lot lately. Some media lovers who work in clubs want to make a lot of money and work hard, but this is not the case, because it creates an atmosphere for writing statements.
* My parents have died and I have a wife and children. Since March 16th, the supporters of Esteghlal and Persepolis have insulted me with more than 100,000 insults. These obscenities are due to the statement written by these same media friends. I am an expert in judging and I have to say what I see. Can I say something that some people like or dislike?
* Defending the derby referee due to membership in the referee committee? what is the connection? I specialize in TV shows once a week. Can I not tell the truth and tell Alki that the referee should have taken a penalty? In this situation, people do not accept my words. I am tougher because of my membership in the jury, because the referee who is elected must also protect our reputation.
* I love Golmohammadi and I whistled for him. She was very calm and I do not know why this model behaves during this time? I even suggested to him that we invite him, Afshin Pirvani and Hamid Motahhari to come and sit on the jury about the games and examine the scenes.
* Golmohammadi’s request to watch Shahravard again? I am older than Golmohammadi, but his intellect is older than mine. Wherever I want to go, we sit with the members of the jury or alone, and we watch the media and the live game. I would say that the refereeing team was to blame for the substitution of Persepolis in the derby. What sin had Seyyed Ali committed to punch him in the chest? He was not aware at all.
* What happened at the substitution scene was correct, because the substitution card had to be registered. If a player went into the pitch without registering his card and had a stroke five seconds later, you know what would happen. In that case, they would say, “By what license did you send a player who was white in the field?” The replacement card must be registered. For example, I am invited to Radio Tehran tonight. I get permission to enter the radio from five areas. I have even been allowed to enter my workplace in the municipality where I now sit.
* Talking to Golmohammadi? I do not have his number, but if he has my number, call and we will talk. I am ready to communicate live with Golmohammadi about the derby game. Yahya, Farhad Majidi, Muharram Navidkia and Amir Ghaleh Noei are our capital and we should not allow everyone in society to speak against each other. This is not football. Chelsea scored six goals last night. Did the opposing team do anything or when Real Madrid scored two goals against Getafe, the opposing team attacked and had nothing to do with the referee.
* Certain mistakes of some referees, especially in the oil match between Masjed Soleiman and Zobahan? Rest assured that the assistant referee will no longer judge until the end of the season. When I was an expert on a TV program on the sports network, Araki’s assistant referee, Babaei, made an offside mistake, which I said was very wrong. I talked to him two nights ago and he said that it was a very good thing that you criticized me. Now I understand what is offside? Incidentally, we are very strict. I whistled about 200 games between Persepolis and Esteghlal. I have judged a thousand times and I do not finance a scene.
* I am not one of those people who say one scene for the benefit and one scene for the detriment of a team. I say two scenes for profit or loss. Because if people accept me, even the supporters of Esteghlal and Persepolis will apologize. I was born in the south of the city and I heard obscenities, but some obscenities were even done to me by women that I could not even read my page. My family, friends and colleagues see them. What are you doing to my dead? I’m told I wish you were dead when you took the corona. The situation is out of the ordinary.
* I said last time, I ask the clubs to take their cultural part out of the holidays. We just have to try to judge well in these 6 weeks, and wherever Yahya Golmohammadi says, I am at his service.
