Futsal referee: If we were cigarette sellers, our income would be more than refereeing!

But Amjadi, in an interview with the sports reporter of Fars news agency, about the withdrawal of Tehrani referees from judging in the fourth week of the Futsal Premier League, said: All the friends who were nominated as second referees by the referees’ committee to judge in the league this week are over 44 years old. They are old. Due to our old age, we expected the judges’ committee to respect us. In these 20 years that I was a judge, it has not meant anything for me financially. If I sold cigarettes, I would have 2 houses now. Our discussion with the referee committee was not a financial discussion, we only asked for respect and did not ask for much. But unfortunately, the head of the referees’ committee, with a rotten rope, Vahid Darz Pima, who has no appreciable background in this country, has listened and deprived us of the judging session in the league.

He added: Vahid Dar Pima’s activity as a teaching assistant has been against the law so far. Pedro Galan, who is the head of FIFA futsal referee committee, came to Iran in his class, he only gave programs and taught, and then he said goodbye and left Iran. It is not the duty of a teacher to interfere in the refereeing arrangement. Friends who were in the referees’ committee of Tehran informed us that even Pima held a meeting in a closed room with Rasul Foroughi to introduce the referees of the Premier League and said, “If I were you, I would appoint the referees of Tehran.” I do not present for judging in the league. The question I want to see is what is the problem with Tehrani referees? We did not disrespect him. Pima gave a physical fitness class and said that you should all be there at 6 in the morning. The referees’ committee did not give the Tehran referees a proper dormitory and accommodated 12 people in a 3-bed room. Is this behavior worthy of the referees of the Premier League? Even on the day that the jury committee had given me a judgment, I entered the class late on that day, and Pima questioned why you were late if I was not guilty and the jury committee had considered judgment for me.

The country’s futsal referee noted: Due to these events, I no longer went home and slept in the same small room of the dormitory. I used to get up in the morning and go to the training place. The referees’ committee did not give the Tehrani referees a place to sleep and they did not respect them. Are the referees from Tehran? According to the law of the Football Federation, the Academy Hotel does not accept anyone from 10:00 PM and the check-in time is 7:00 AM. You can inquire about this matter, only the personnel themselves have the right to enter and leave outside of these hours, but the judges’ committee has announced that they will take the test at 6 am.

Amjadi clarified: Futsal referees should test in the hall, not on the artificial grass at 6 in the morning. Interestingly, in this hour, the judges who were present announced that we did not do a good job, we only warmed up and sweated for half an hour. Even some judges were sitting and not practicing. I don’t know why it was necessary for Pima to correspond with the refereeing department and ask them to ban 3 sessions because the Tehrani referees did not participate in the physical fitness test. While it is not within his scope of duties, because Pima is only a teacher and he must teach according to the hours given to him by the class manager.

He continued: After writing this letter, Daniyal Moradi, as the head of the refereeing department, said that no suspension will be considered for the referees because their excuse was justified because they did not have a dormitory and there is no suspension. But the question that arises is why should Tehrani referees be banned for 3 sessions in the first 3 weeks of the start of the league? According to the referees’ committee plan, none of the Tehrani referees were selected as the first referee in the fourth week. They want to solve the problem. Until this moment that I am talking to you, we have all decided not to judge in the fourth week. But tomorrow, we are going to hold a meeting with Khodadad Afsharian, the head of the referees committee of the federation, so that the assignment will be determined.
