Match Refereed by Former Official Bitnel Back on the Agenda

While discussing the calling of former referees as witnesses, Hacıosmanoğlu said that the name of Deniz Ateş Bitnel had caught his attention. Hacıosmanoğlu brought up the Galatasaray vs Trabzonspor match, in which four red cards were shown.

Hacıosmanoğlu drew attention to an incident involving Mustafa Yumlu in the final part of the match and argued that the referee should have shown a red card. He also said there were question marks over the added time. Hacıosmanoğlu claimed that the match should have had 8 to 10 minutes of added time, but only 3 minutes were played, and that the referee gave only half a minute of extra time.

Hacıosmanoğlu reminded that if a fifth red card were shown in the match, the game would have to be suspended. He asked for the alleged actions related to the match to be investigated.

In the match, Özer Hurmacı, Aykut Demir, Luis Cavanda and Salih Dursun of Trabzonspor were shown red cards. Salih Dursun taking the red card from referee Deniz Ateş Bitnel's hand and showing it to the referee became the most memorable image of the match, which was played on 21 February 2016.
