Olympiacos: “AEK said that they play all their matches at the stadium, that’s what we want too”

“The process is not disciplinary. It has a normative character. For the same reason that AEK has a legitimate interest, so do the other teams that follow in the standings. It is not enough to say that I have a centimeter difference in the vertical measurement of the horizontal beam, he must also say how he found it. If the evidence is illegal, it cannot be taken into account. This is how it would be done in the criminal courts.

The banishing rod is rigid, only the javelin is flexible but that is not a rod. You don’t measure the vertical properly with a tape measure. You measure the horizontal beam. The illegitimate way adopted by the referee to count does not yield safe results. The evidence is not correct. The referee’s decision not to take place is wrong and you should order the match to take place.” said Mr. Dimakopoulos.

“Article 19 of the Rules of Procedure allows for additional intervention. We have been talking for 2.5 hours about a measurement. This is not a disciplinary process, it is a process of correct application or not of the regulation. AEK says that the regulation was not followed but no harm was done, the match did not take place. A foul was called and the referee said it shouldn’t be done. AEK said that they play all their matches at the stadium, that’s what we want too.

You must by your decision, the fight be redefined in the right way. They never said that Atromitos deliberately made the pitch irregular, they accused him of imprudence for not having spare goalposts and of sloppiness. If he is penalized today, the consequences will be irreversible. The only right decision you can make is to redefine the match in a stadium that is as it should be, if it is not the stadium of Atromitos”, added for his part the Mr. Karpetopoulos.
