Turkish President Intervenes As Trabzonspor’s Boss Takes Referees Hostage by TerryE(m): 8:37am On Nov 01, 2015
Turkey’s president was forced to intervene
after the boss of Turkish club Trabzonspor
locked four match officials in a stadium
overnight after they failed to award his side a
penalty.
Trabzonspor were denied a last minute spot-
kick in their recent 2-2 draw with
Gaziantepspor, much to the frustration of the
club’s president Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu.
The officials responsible for the decision were
subsequently locked in the stadium until 4am
the following morning, with their release
secured by the country’s president Recip
Tayyip Erdogan.
‘I told stadium security not to let the referees
leave until the morning, until I arrived, but a
very important person called me and asked
me not to cause embarrassment in Turkey
and around the world,’ he told Turkey’s Dogan
news agency.
‘He [Erdogan] promised the [penalty] incident
would be investigated.’
The referees were escorted to safety by
special forces, with the Turkish Football
Federation now investigating the incident.
‘This unlawfulness cannot be justified by any
erroneous referee decision and has caused
deep discomfort in the whole football world,’ a
statement said.
‘All efforts will be made to ensure that the
related persons be tried not only under sports
law but also criminal law.’
Let’s see Jose Mourinho beat this…

that's ehh. I laughed hard when I read this. Some referees can be real autocratic as their decisions are final.
