Red or yellow cards are part of everyday life for soccer players. However, they are so rare in volleyball circles that there is hardly any comparable photo evidence to be found even on the otherwise comprehensive Internet. Which is why the latest Bayernliga matchday for Esting's men was unique and curious in this regard. But one after the other.
Esting / Fürstenfeldbruck - "We could have lost 0-3," said Esting's coach Christian Vetrovsky, explaining the 2: 3 (24:26, 25:23, 27:25, 25:12, 15:11) defeat in Friedberg and spoke of the worst seasonal performance. Which is why the team point due after five completed sets was extremely happy. Because "blatant wrong decisions by the referees" made this possible. Nevertheless, Vetrovsky echoed: "The two referees were the summit." Apparently before the game.
Because the referee Stefan Henke, who whistled for SV Lohhof, like his colleague Florian Wühr, had to be called into the hall by phone because they had sweated the game date. Without a word of apology, according to Vetrovsky, they still showed up in the hall. The encounter could begin with a 20-minute delay - and it continued to be memorable.
Because the referees also caused a lot of excitement and heated argument with "bizarre decisions". After the final whistle, Vetrovsky saw the yellow-red card. According to the volleyball statutes, this usually results in a ban of four to five games. "We object to this. We'll see if I can sit on the bench next week. ”Vetrovsky's Friedberger colleague had already received the yellow card during the match due to excessive complaining and unsportsmanlike conduct. This warning, which is entered in the match report sheet, does not result in any further sanctions. A Friedberger player who had to leave the field after a yellow-red card for the current set was allowed to be used again afterwards. "I've been playing volleyball for over 35 years, but I've never experienced anything like it," said Vetrovsky. The Lohhofer referee left an inquiry from the Tagblatt for an opinion unanswered.
Brucks TuS volleyball players have completely different concerns. Most recently, they hosted the leaders of the ASV Dachau in the Viscardi hall. After the clear 0: 3 (12:25, 22:25, 19:25) the district dwellers slide deeper into the downward vortex.
