In a crazy match with six goals in the second half, Panaitolikos prevailed 4-2 against OFI in the debut of Yannis Anastasiou.
After the match, Vassilis Lambropoulos broke out for her arbitrationemphasizing that both in the match and in general in the season, the Cretans have a hostile attitude, and talking about referees with “conceit that makes chumps.”
It is worth noting that in the last four o OFI has equal numbers abortions.
In detail what he said to the Cosmote TV camera:
“I will talk about two things. First, we know our mistakes, we accept them. We have made childish mistakes, I accept it, we will correct them. At some point the joke about playing with 10 or 9… Androutsos must never have received a red card in his life. How can he jump and not have his hand like that? For so many years I have never talked about arbitration and I don’t like to do it. We have made mistakes, the opponent with 4 chances scored 4 goals.
But it is not possible in every match to be careful not to mark, to be careful because we have stamped players. This joke has to end. Tell me, how can he jump without putting his hand somewhere? He doesn’t make a violent hit! And red? Red for cufflinks? We freeze the image in VAR and call penalty. It is not possible to fight, to be dominant for 60 minutes and out of nowhere to be 2-2 with 10 players.
In every match they give us cards for no reason. They fight and it’s only us who eat cards. In every game we have hostile refereeing. Whatever has happened, I haven’t spoken, I have a good relationship with all the referees. This thing doesn’t happen every time. Because the team doesn’t want to deal with it, I accept it, but we play! We must not score, in every match we will have a red card, we will not be able to press…
Androutsos commits a foul in the first half, straight yellow. The worst thing is that you go to talk to the referees and they answer you with arrogance. We are not enemies. Look me in the eyes, talk to me. Show respect, he can’t beat you up because you go talk to him.. We’re all in the same sport, you can’t look at me with arrogance. I don’t want to hide our mistakes, nor our competitive behavior, I am the first to criticize myself. But at some point it has to stop! There will be fights, it’s football. In the last 4 matches (except Aris), we touch and get a card. And I’m a person who doesn’t accept many cards, I’m talking about the whole. We can’t not score. How are we going to jump into the area? Instead of thinking about my family, I’m nervous about the match.”
