Turkish Super League Referee Attacked by Football Club President

There was chaos tonight in the Turkish super league game between MKE Ankaragucu
& Cakur Rizespor, with the game ending 1-1.

The referee Halil Umut Meler was knocked to the ground by MKE Ankaragucu president
Faruk Koca, who ran onto the pitch, after his team conceded a 97th minute equaliser
in a 1-1 super league draw, with Caykur Rizespor.
The referee received several blows from others, as he lay on the turf, the incident sparked
chaotic scenes involving players & club officials.

Referee Meler required treatment in hospital, but " Detention Procedures Will Be
Carried Out, After The Treatment " said Turkey's minister of internal affairs
Ali Yerlikaya.
He added that others had been arrested for their part in the incident, which he
" Strongly Condemned ".

The president of Turkey Recep Erdogan condemned the attack.

Referee Halil Umit Meler aged 37 years, is one of Turkey's top referee's & officiated
International games for FIFA, he is also on UEFA's elite referee list.

My opinion is the MKE Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca wants a life time ban from football.
