A Turkish Super Lig game erupted in chaos when the match referee was punched by the president of one of the teams before being kicked as he lay on the ground. Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ►
Ankaragucu’s president, Faruk Koca, struck the referee, Halil Umut Meler, at the end of their home match after Rizespor scored a 97th-minute equaliser. Koca walked on to the pitch and hit the referee when the final whistle blew in the 1-1 draw at Eryaman Stadium. The president of Turkey’s football association, Mehmet Buyukeksi, condemned the event as an «inhumane attack» and announced an indefinite suspension to matches in all Turkish leagues. Koca and two others have been arrested for «injuring a public official».

Imagine what Kroenke would do to Anthony Taylor 😜😜joke aside no vawulens
The ref was wearing pink, that's why.
Playing in Turkey is very dangerous.
Referees need more security
president who kicked this is a former member of parliament. He is also Erdoğan's man. Are we surprised? No. He has now been arrested and his presidency is over. this incident is a disgrace
NBA needs to learn from this
I missed the part where he had spine surgery? Seems a bit of a show with the hospital and soft collar
So cheap shots him and then someone kicks him while he is unprotected. Class! Keep watching soccer gents, we dont want you in rugby games.
Sum's up Turkey as a nation.
no football for turkish annimal mongols
Halahh, kabangetan siah eta… karunya euy
Andy Robertson enters the chat…
Such coaches should be banned from football for life and a proper financial sanction should be imposed privately and on the club.
Typical of this kind of people 🤬
A typical day in Turkey.
Ref must have done summat to get twated
What? How they do that .
Peaceful people 😂
It should be considered that this didn't come out of nowhere. Pretty much ALL clubs are complayning about terrible referee decisions and ironically, this referee Halil Umut Meler made such a decision just weeks ago when one player was literally choked by three other players and he did not give a red card, nothing.
Barely any contact, kicked for diving
A foci nem sport. Sosem volt az.
Wow he sure showed that ref who's boss 🙄
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Only in turkey…😂
milkin' it
Not surpised at all. Hope the referee makes a full recovery while the agressors will be jailed.
Typical of the Turkish mindset.
This is a manslaughter attempt. So bad. So bad.
Aparte del puñete del presidente de ese club, hay otro tipo de saco marrón que le mete una patada en el piso en la cara al arbitro.
Bad for Turkish reputation to the rest of the world…
bit extreme treatment after a punch not sure the neck brace was needed haha
Why would anyone want to be a referee…. Disgraceful.
The guy that kicks him in the face while lying on the floor is even worse than the guy who threw the first punch.
Kicking a man while he is down is simply pathetic
