Super League VAR Dialogues โขReleased, Revealing Key Decisions in Week 10 โMatches
Newly released recordings of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) communications from the 10th weekโ of theโ Turkish Super League have shed lightโฃ on the decision-making process behind controversial โฃcalls โin matches involving Galatasaray,โค Fenerbahรงe, and Beลiktaล. โTheโ recordings, published by Hรผrriyet,โ detail discussions surrounding a canceled penalty in โคthe Kasฤฑmpaลa-Beลiktaล โฃmatch and a red card issued during the Gaziantep FK-Fenerbahรงe game.
Theโ released VAR audio provides a rare glimpse into โฃthe real-time analysis and debate that shapes pivotal moments in Turkish football. In the Kasฤฑmpaลa-Beลiktaล match, VAR officials recommendedโ a field review for a potential penalty, ultimately leading to its cancellation after assessing a player’s hand โฃplacement and an opposing player’s reaction. Similarly,โ in the Gaziantep FK-Fenerbahรงe clash, VAR intervention resulted in a โคyellow cardโฃ being overturned and a red card issued for serious foul play, basedโค on the point of contact during a challenge.
During the Kasฤฑmpaลa-Beลiktaล review, theโค VAR โofficial stated, “I recommend โคan inquiry on the โคfield for potential penalty โคcancellation.” Later,the โขofficial noted,”There is also an actor’s effect,keep in mind,he lets himself go.” Adan Deniz โKaAthpe, the on-field referee, ultimately concurred, stating, “I cancel the penalty and start the game with the referee’s โคshot.”
In the Gaziantep FK-Fenerbahรงe โคmatch,โค the VAR official directed Atilla โฃKaraoฤlan to โfocus onโข the point โขof contact, saying, “We start with this photo, Iโ show the point of contact.” โฃKaraoฤlan responded, “Yes, play it,” and subsequently decided to upgrade the yellow card toโ a red, explaining, “Yes, the point of contact with his cleats is towards his Achilles tendonโฆ โI cancel the yellow card and give a red card โto number 14 forโ serious foul โplay.” These released dialogues โoffer openness into the submission of VAR protocol within the โฃSuper league.
