Athletistic/Football. The sports director of the Rostov football club Alexei Ryskin spoke about the reasons for poor refereeing in the Russian Premier League.

“Last season was better in terms of refereeing. It is now difficult to say what has changed. Maybe the new requirements were not explained properly during training camp or other rules were introduced and no one understands how to apply them. I talk to my colleagues and they are also confused.

Our referees are qualified, but it seems that new criteria have been imposed on them. Perhaps the interpretations were not clarified during the training camp or unified standards were not created. Sometimes the referees themselves do not understand what is expected of them. In one round, a penalty is awarded, and in the next round, the same judges declare that it is not a penalty. The ESC justifies them again. I would like to believe that this is not a matter of bias, “Ryskin was quoted as saying by the Championship correspondent.
