Ivan Shariy: “After the match with Dynamo Kyiv, I was called to Moscow. And they gave 10 matches of disqualification. Good thing

The famous Ukrainian striker Ivan Shariy shared his memories of an unusual event in his career that took place in 1985 in a match between Chernomorets Odessa, whose colors he then defended, and Dynamo Kyiv.

“We played with Dynamo in Odessa in March, when the weather was still winter. We scored the ball, the referee counted it. But when the people of Kiev were about to clear from the center, the side referee whispered or waved something, and Doronin canceled the goal. I ran up to him, pushed him a little, barely touching his chest, and he slipped on the slightly icy lawn and fell.

After that, I was summoned to Moscow for a meeting of the STK. The verdict was given to me not by honored football experts, but by people with membership cards from among the veterans of labor, the Great Patriotic War, the Battle of Borodino and the Battle of Kulikovo (smiles). They scolded me: “How is that possible?!” and decided to disqualify me for ten matches!

If football people were sitting in the hall, then maybe they would limit themselves to three or a maximum of five. It was a shame, as he missed a large segment of the season. However, it’s good that they were not disqualified for twenty matches, ”Sharia quotes "UA-Football".
