Soccer fans have been criticizing players who brawled during a soccer game and continued to fight despite being restrained by female referees. They pointed out that the referee’s authority in the stadium was diminished by the players’ behavior.
On April 14, the Gwangyang Football Stadium in Jeonnam hosted a K League 2 match between the Jeonnam Dragons and the Ansan Greeners. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, 카지노사이트 but a clash between two players during the match left a bitter aftertaste.
The incident occurred in the second half of the game, when the score was tied at 1-1 in extra time. At the 91st minute, Noh Kyung-ho of Ansan (No. 8) and Kim Yong-hwan of Jeonnam (No. 13) chased after a loose ball that had fallen during a header competition between other players. In the process, a collision occurred between the two players. Noh, who was one step ahead of Kim, was pushed down by the chasing Kim, and referee Park Se-jin blew the whistle for a foul on Kim.
Kim then approached Noh and started a nervous battle. He protested by roughly shoving referee Park with his arm. Kim continued to point his finger at Noh, despite the referee’s restraint. Players from both teams shouted at the two players, and in an unusual move, the assistant referee ran onto the field to stop Kim. Noh also swatted away referee Park’s hand as he tried to stop Kim.
Football fans have criticized the referee’s authority, saying that the fact that the players were arguing and pushing the referee off the field undermines his authority. They pointed out that while it is normal for players to have nervous battles during a game, it is not normal for them to ignore the referee and continue to argue. In particular, the two male players were criticized for disrespecting the referee because she was a woman.
The highlight video, which was broadcast on the Coupang Play Sports channel on YouTube, received critical comments such as “Isn’t it crazy to push the referee,” “It’s wrong to do that to a referee regardless of gender,” and “Unsportsmanlike and violent players don’t deserve to play.” One commenter pointed out that the referee should have given a red card in this situation, saying, “It’s obviously a female referee,” and another said, “She should have given a red card.”
