Have you ever flown off the field even though you were actually struck down?
Bastian Lanzinger happened last Saturday.
The foul happened on his own baseline between the penalty area and the corner flag.
According to the referee protocol, the Moosinninger was quite angry with the Endorf opponent: "Admit that the elbow was there." - "No, I just put my body in." - Lanzinger: "Shut up!
Sneak up. ”So it was in the“ Special report on the special incidents ”of the referee, who then showed Lanzinger red.
Is that really a dismissal?
Don't worry, we're not playing sports court or VAR basement here. We don't want to criticize the referee either, we just say: There have been easier decisions, as a couple of referees from the Erding referee group explained to us by way of example.
Let's start with the SRG boss himself.
Knut Friedrich remembers that very disturbing moment in Haimhausen when the striker equalized shortly before the end. He could have been just as happy as Gerd Müller or had a cool party like all would-be successors. Friedrich would have liked that too: "But the goal scorer stood like a pistolero, showed the outstretched middle finger with both hands towards the defense and the goalkeeper and yelled over the whole place, F *** t you! '"
Sebastian Lange, on the other hand, had already easily brought an A-youth game into stoppage time
when the guests crossed again in front of the penalty area, which a defender defended with his hand.
He received yellow for it.
“Out of frustration, he took the ball and shot it away,” says Lange, who then imposed a time penalty on the young man.
“As he leaves, he says: 'Only an idiot is so petty and during that phase he'll put me off the pitch for five minutes.'
I ran after him and showed him the red one. "
We saved ourselves the research of
which suspension the player received from the sports court.
The reaction of his coach was punishment enough for the young fellow: “Congratulations.
Three offenses in less than 15 seconds, for this stupid action you can continue playing the rest of the season in the second. "
How is the relationship between the referee and the red criminal?
Sometimes it can be very intimate. For example the one between Karl Valentin and Guido Ziegler, the legendary and rustic central defender of SC Olching, who had to leave the field after 40 minutes against MTV Berg. "Rüdes entrance", no complaints. Two or three years later, the two met again. In Valentin's home town of Taufkirchen, the relegation game between Olching and Kirchanschöring rose. "See if I can play longer than 40 minutes this time," Ziegler had said with a laugh. It was 25 minutes. “A bad pass in midfield, Guido stops the striker. He looks to the left and right after the foul, but unfortunately there was no one left. Classic emergency brake ”, says Valentin almost regretfully.
It was just as clear in a test match
in winter between Unterhaching and FC Bayern. Valentin: "The game was broadcast live on Sport 1." At that time Matthias Sammer came into his dressing room and asked that the game should go on "if possible, without a red card". And then the 75th minute came: Tobias Schweinsteiger runs alone towards the Bayern goal and is followed by Luiz Gustavo. “I prayed that he would let him go. But no, he just touched him. ”The Brazilian took off his gloves while sitting. It was clear to him. “And I had no choice but to send him off. As I said, the game was also on TV, ”says Valentin. Sammer didn't find it funny at all. “In the end, Luiz Gustavo was only suspended for a friendly game.In the end, he only saved himself the trip to the Tivoli in Aachen, ”says Valentin with a laugh and reveals that a referee has to resort to little tricks from time to time.
In a third division game in Düsseldorf
, a man from Dresden prevented a counterattack with a rough foul. Pack formation. Excitement. “My problem: I didn't know who committed the foul. I played a bit for time and then got the only player who was completely uninvolved at the center line. "Valentin approached him. “That was really hard of you, wasn't it?” - “Yes, sorry, but please don't give me red!” Well, Karl Valentin couldn't meet this wish.
The dialogue
with Valentin
also brought Jann George
the red card. Today's striker from Jahn Regensburg was still active for 1. FC Nürnberg in the U19 Bundesliga when he received a yellow card and then five minutes for fouls and complaints. "When he said 'Malaka, Malaka' to me, I also gave him red." George was a bit puzzled that Valentin knew this Greek swear word. “But he couldn't have known that I was already head of the department at Aspis Taufkirchen,” says Valentin with a laugh.
And sometimes it even works without a card.
Rico Spyra was once an assistant in the regional league game between Burghausen and FC Bayern 2, in which Steven Ribery also played - and always moaned.
Referee Günter Perl burst his collar.
He asked his assistants over the headset: “Does anyone know what 'You're a dork' means in French?” But after no one could help him, Spyra says, “he messed him up in good Bavarian fashion that Franck's brother afterwards was relatively calm ”.
