All eyes on disciplinary referrals
After the derby ended in an eventful manner, all eyes turned to the disciplinary referrals of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Legal Consultancy.
In addition to the football players from both teams, technical teams were also involved in the events that broke out after the match.
After the referee and observer reports reach the Legal Consultancy, referrals to the Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) will be announced.
It was a matter of curiosity on what basis Abdülkerim Bardakcı and Archie Brown, who received red cards after the derby, would be disciplined. If the two players are referred for "Unsportsmanlike Act" under Article 36 of the Football Disciplinary Instruction, they will be penalized for 1 to 3 matches, and if they are referred for "Fight", which is Article 45, they will be penalized for 3 to 5 matches.
If the disciplinary referral is referred for "assault", which is Article 44, the penalty will be up to 5 to 10 competitions.
In addition, penalties may be given to players or technical team officials other than the broadcaster's footage and observer reports.
