“The fouls whistled with extreme ease in favor of the opposing team, compared with those not detected when they were against us, are a concrete demonstration of the injustice and double standard present on the field – it is continued -. At this point it is clear that Recep Ankaralı, known for his hostility toward Galatasaray and currently head of the Central Referee Committee, is not capable of carrying out his duties. We expect the federal leadership to urgently take the necessary measures to remove this person and head referee Özlem Yalman from basketball arenas”.

“Despite all these grave injustices, we are proud of our players who fought with honor, without giving up, and who honored the Galatasaray jersey. We call on our fans to support the team even more strongly in the rest of the season. If we stand united, we will fight together against this injustice. Galatasaray will never take a step backward in its battle for justice, neither on the field nor off it” the proud closing of the Giallorossi.
