President of Zhytomyr Poliss Gennady Butkevich made an official statement after the high-profile match of the 19th round of the UPL against Dynamo Kiev. Kerivnik called on the football authorities to evaluate the judiciary and explain the super-fair decisions of the referees, which, in the opinion of the club, contributed to the reversal of the match.

In her statement, Butkevich spoke of the need for maximum visibility of the key episodes of the game.

“First of all, we focus on the publication of the negotiations between the referees during the key episodes of the game, and itself: the episode with Lindon Emerllah’s goal in the 21st half of the match and the episode on the 49th.

In addition, the kerivnik to the club called to check the referees for the match.

“In a different way, we call on the UAF’s external bodies to carry out an independent polygraph review of the head referee of the match Mikoli Balakin and VAR referee Denis Shurman in order to establish the reasons for the rough punishments”.

President Polissya also expressed his gratitude to the judicial corps of Ukrainian football to publicly evaluate the actions of the referees.

“Thirdly, it is imperative that the UAF Arbitrators Committee, Katherine Monzul, UAF Arbitration Consultant Nicoli Rizzoli and other types of UAF arbitrators, give a public assessment.

Finally, Butkevich firmly stated that he did not bind the controversial decisions of the arbitrators from the capital’s club.

" I especially have no doubt that the care of the Dynamo Kiev club does not interfere with the decisions of the referees. The reasons for the harsh punishments need to be looked for in another place, which is what the UAF’s auxiliary bodies are responsible for dealing with,” Butkevich said..
