OPINIONS This mood will be very brief tonight.
Yes, I know, I often write this kind of thing … before writing 2 pages in A4, but I can’t stand living disappointment after disappointment week after week, maos after month, year after year since the resale of the club .
From Roger Vanden Stock to Marc Coucke, passing through successive coaches, players, managers, gardeners, stewards, pigeons, flies or the weather, I am not looking for those responsible or guilty, but I have some. Fed up.
The problem is that purple blood has been running through my veins since I was born and it’s like Covid, it’s not easy to get rid of.
Once again, I rebel against those who consider that everything has been bad.
Is there waste? Yes.
Are there any player absences? Yes.
Is there one or the other player capable of making the difference? Yes.
But no ! It didn’t suck. Until the Ghent goal, superb by the way, we were on a level playing field against one of the best teams we have faced this season: two posts on one side and two balls saved in front of the line on the other. The verdict should have been a draw.
MORE !
It was without counting on an arbitration decision which changed everything.
Not on Diawara’s completely understandable second yellow card, but for the one he receives in the 53rd minute of play.
Verschaeren retains the player who dribbled and takes a slightly harsh card, but not outrageous.
Diawara throws the ball towards the Ghent player who is slightly hit in the face.
The guy collapses as if he had taken an uppercut from Rocky Balboa. This reaction deserved a yellow card for inappropriate behavior. It’s really the kind of cinema that disgusts me to the core: a scandalous simulation aimed at sanctioning an adversary.
At the time, my son said to me “don’t worry, the VAR cannot intervene officially (since this simulation is not worth a red card), but they certainly signaled to the referee that it was a quid. You can be sure that at the first fault, he will pick up the yellow!
Well no ! It had escaped me at the time, but our midfielder was well and truly warned.
Were there any other mistakes by the refereeing body?
No, and therein lies the drama, one and only one mistake can be enough to turn a meeting upside down.
You can object all you want at the level of failures, say that Diawara should have been more careful, that Riemer should have replaced him, I don’t care!
Once again, it came down to little and a bad referee’s decision turned the game upside down.
Like what, in football, unlike American films, it is often the cheaters who win.
Come on, meet at the stadium on Thursday against a club that won the Europa League in 2021 and played in the Champions League semi-finals in 2022.
It will go by itself!
