Obolon also expressed support for Polesie in this initiative today
Veres issued a statement supporting the demand Polesie regarding the club meeting UPL with a UAF arbitration consultant Nicolo Rizzoli and chairman of the UAF judiciary Katerina Monzul.
“Rovno Veres supports the demand initiated by Zhytomyr Polesie to hold a meeting of representatives of Ukrainian Premier League clubs with the Chairman of the UAF Referees Committee Katerina Monzul and UAF arbitration consultant Nicolo Rizzoli for a direct and open dialogue regarding the quality of arbitration of football matches.”
“We call on the UAF Arbitrators Committee to be more open. Namely: the publication of transcripts of the discussion of controversial episodes of the game between the chief referee and VAR teams, the introduction of a rating of referees (with the possibility of rewarding the best and applying sanctions to the worst), as well as organizing the work of a single VAR center (as it works in the championships of EU countries). We are convinced that such steps will increase confidence in referees and will have a positive impact on quality competition in the UPL championship.”
A similar statement was made today by Obolon, which also supported Polesie in his initiative.
Let us recall that the Zhytomyr club wrote an open letter to the UAF, in which it expressed outrage at the actions of the chief referee of the match with Alexandria, Alexander Shandor, and VAR referee Roman Blavatsky. In stoppage time for the second half, the ball hit the hand of Alexandria defender Miguel Campos in the hosts’ penalty area. The referee team turned to video replay for help, and its negotiations were made public UAF.
In the end, no penalty was awarded, and Polesie itself suffered its first defeat in this UPL draw.
Veres is 10th in the UPL standings – Oleg Shandruk’s team has 12 points after 12 rounds.
The club from Rivne will play its next match on November 10 at home against Rukh.
