Racism on the field. He shouted Allah Akbar, it lifted me up, defends the author of swearing

Luboš Lajcman, a functionary of Veverská Bítýška, is to blame for the shower of vulgar statements, who does not deny the incident. “I will not play the saint, there was an operation, he misjudged it and I did not hold on. It was stupid of me, “Lajcman told Deník Rovnost, who was outraged by the referee’s verdict and the subsequent expulsion of the home player and family member Viktor Lajcman.

However, his swearing did not end even after the match, which was won by the visiting Kobeřice 3: 0. “It’s your promotion of Islam and terrorism, you’re even more, you terrorist. We thought you’d fire normally. The girls were running away from the stadium. People like you shouldn’t be here in this republic at all, you Turku. You should pull back quickly, no one is curious about your practices, “Judge Ikizgül described the statements he heard in the match record, which was signed by the captains of both teams.

In the end, there was no non-verbal confrontation, but the judge confirmed that it was approaching. “I’ve never encountered this in my life, so it was quite mentally demanding for me. I had to hold on a lot to control my nerves. At times, I thought I would stretch one of those beasts, “said Ikizgül.

Lajcman defended himself by being provoked by the referee’s behavior. “He started speaking Arabic in front of me and then shouted: Allah Akbar. I reacted to that, “Lajcman described other reasons, who also defended himself by saying that his friend was traumatized by the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001.

The 22-year-old referee was born in the Czech Republic and has been playing football since he was a child, and in recent years he has been a goalkeeper in the junior of Hradec Králové. He was again a referee at the World Games in Paris. “My mother is Czech and no one has ever taken me differently. I am not a terrorist or even a Muslim and I do not understand how anyone can identify Islam with terrorism or any radical Islamist organization, “the judge wrote on Facebook.

This is not Lajcman’s first transgression, the disciplinary commission of the South Moravian Regional Football Association knows him. “In three years, we have dealt with about five cases with him. We received a statement that such statements were actually made at the match, “said the chairman of the disciplinary commission Zdeněk Dufek. However, according to him, this is the case of racism for the first time.

The uniqueness of the problem was also confirmed by the chairman of the jury of the regional association Karel Jarůšek. “I have never experienced this before. Neither now, nor when I was still training coaches in South Moravia, “did not understand the former national team midfielder and champion of Czechoslovakia with Zbrojovka from 1978.

Lajcman was threatened with up to fifteen years of banning any football activity. “I’m counting on the punishment, I’ll probably get a fine. I have to deal with it, “he mused.

However, the disciplinary commission imposed on him another punishment: a ban on staying on the player’s bench in all functions for twelve competitive matches unconditionally and at the same time a fine of fifteen thousand crowns.

The Veverská Bítýška club must then pay ten thousand. “As for the decision of the disciplinary commission, the punishment is, in my opinion, clearly disproportionately mild. Our regulations allow the Secretary-General to appeal, and I will exercise my right. I will appeal for exemplary punishment, “said Jan Pauly, general secretary of the football association, on Twitter.

Lajcman now intends to leave the Football Association of the Czech Republic and at the same time end up as a representative of the team. “He does a lot for the club and he is capable of it. Unfortunately, this is the dark side of his personality, “commented Lukáš Urbánek, the club’s secretary.
