Dhe football district Kempen / Krefeld banned an amateur player for eight years because of a serious attack on a referee. “We had to set an example here, which is why we deliberately imposed the maximum penalty. There was particularly serious insidiousness here, ”said the district sports court chairman Reiner Hohn of the German Press Agency on Friday. The “Westdeutsche Zeitung” had previously reported on the case.
According to this, the goalkeeper of the CSV Marathon Krefeld had run 40 meters in a district league B game against SV Oppum from Krefeld on September 21st to hit the referee in the neck from behind. The game was then canceled. The day after the incident, the perpetrator was banned from the CSV marathon for life and is said to be excluded from the club.
Should this happen, it would amount to a lifelong ban, according to Hohn: “The eight-year ban would then have a suspensive character and would only begin when the player finds a club that wants to accept him. No club will do that. “
