Rock can follow the example of Niva and suspend membership in the Professional Football League.
The rock understands and shares the reasons that led to the fact that Ternopil Niva ceases to participate in the Second League.
"Corruption, prejudiced judging corrode Ukrainian football, and these phenomena should immediately stop. Our club has also repeatedly been the victim of judicial arbitrariness and lack of understanding in the official offices of the FFU and the Committee of Arbitrators in recent years, "reads a statement on the official website of the Rock.
"Suffice it to recall the case of a year ago in the match of the 25th round, which took place on April 14 in Ternopil, where the result of a mistake was made by the lineman from Krivoy Rog, Maxim Levchenko, who, on the 49th minute of the match between the local municipal club and Skala, referee Denis Shurman of Vishnevoy that the ball after hitting the head of the Ternopilin Yuri Zakharkiv crossed the goal line, although at first neither the referee nor the players of Ternopil reacted to the goal. And really, how could the linesman see, crossed or did not cross the ball the goal line, when he visually interfered with the goalkeeper of the Rock, knocking the ball out of the near corner? Oleg Bilyk with his body blocked the appearance of the episode, so the linesman simply could not physically see whether the ball crossed the goal line ".
"Obviously, his decision was influenced by a high rate for this game. After all, in bookmaker offices in a duel in Ternopil put about 60 000 in American currency. We applied to three instances: Chairman of the Committee on Ethics and Fair Play, Mr. Baranke, the curator of the arbitration system in professional football of Ukraine, Mr. Kollin and the President of the PFL of Ukraine, Mr. Makarov, where they even gave contact information of one of the leaders of FC Ternopil, who is ready was to testify about this fight, but the answer has not yet received ".
"There are a lot of similar cases of prejudice against us. The last: from the home match of the Rock against Vinnytsia Niva-V on April 28 this year, where the referee from the Transcarpathian region Mikhail Raida appointed a non-existent penalty, which also decided the fate of the match. Again, no reaction from football officials.
Therefore, we state categorically, if the assistant referee Maxim Levchenko of Krivoy Rog and the referee Denis Shurman of Vishnevoi will not be punished and disqualified after the end of this season, Stryska Skala will also consider the issue of suspension of membership in the PFL of Ukraine, because we will not include our contributions with corrupt structure of domestic football. FC Skala wants Ukraine to become a country where they will forget about corruption and contractual matches, and where honest transparent football will reign ".
After 23 rounds, Niva takes seventh place in Group A, gaining 28 points.
