The match ended with the victory of SKA-Khabarovsk with a score of 3:0. After the match, Tikhonov criticized Opeikina.
“Why are they experimenting with refereeing in this particular match? Why are they appointing a woman? Assign her to the Rodina-Khimki match or send her to Makhachkala,” Tikhonov said after the match.
Guberniev supported Tikhonov’s punishment after offensive remarks against judge Opeikina
“A little excursion into history. 2004, I received a 5-match disqualification for the phrase “There are morons at the CDC”!
20 years have passed and no change is visible; the repressive machine continues to operate! But if I really said too much, then Andrei Tikhonov didn’t say anything offensive or degrading! Why did they give him 5 games?
What did Tikhonov say? He just expressed his opinion! Yes, he told Opeikina to train on children, on women’s matches, so what? Or do CDC members think that working on children’s or women’s games is degrading to human dignity? So big questions arise for them!
What are you trying to achieve? So that people stop expressing their opinions altogether? And at the same time, I am sure that the majority of RPL coaches agree with Tikhonov’s opinion!
If you are sane people, you should rescind your disqualification today and apologize to Tikhonov! “, wrote Radimov on social networks.
