Kifissia issued an angry statement against the referee Spyros Zambalas shortly after the end of the episodic match with Panachaiki in Patras and the exclusion from the Cup.
We remember we had one incredible scene in the matchwith the hosts playing in a phase, where a goal by the visitors was disallowed, with eleven players and while Castegiano had been expelled!
Communication:
Since last year we have expressed our objections to the (in)ability of Spyros Zambalas to referee matches of great importance and increased demands.
Last year he was the one who led us to relegation and this year he deprived us of the possibility to qualify for the “8” of the Betsson Greek Cup for the first time in our history.
We’ve said it since last year, but because it’s a lesson learned, we say it again: Spyros Zabalas is a referee who doesn’t respect the players’ effort, the investors’ money and the teams’ effort on the pitch.
Unfortunately, it was confirmed once again that every team that finds him in front of them, is forced to experience a difficult situation.
I hope the authorities cut him from any definition before it’s too late and there are other teams who will experience what we experience time and time again from this particular referee.
