Roman Hryhorchuk: "Who appoints these judges? What is going on?"

Chornomorets head coach Roman Hryhorchuk reacted emotionally to the work of the referees after the Ukrainian Premier League match against Vorskla (1-2).

"I'm in a very bad mood because I'm unhappy with the refereeing this season. I just don't understand what's going on. I'll give you an example: a home game, and we find out that our match will be officiated by one referee on the pitch, who simply buried us against Dnipro-1. After that, he didn't referee, and then he was appointed for this game in Odesa, at our home stadium.

The fourth referee in the same team, for the same game, was a referee who, in my opinion, was very unsympathetic to us in the game against Kolos. And the next game, he showed us a number of cards, and we were unhappy, and he came to Odesa as the fourth. Who appoints these referees? What is going on? It's hard for me to say.

Of course, first of all, I will deal with my team, but looking at this, I just realise that very ugly things are happening that we need to speak up, make noise about, and deal with the people who are in charge of it all. At this time, it's not about us getting negative, and the judges may be f**king, I don't know how to put it... I mean, they're positive, right? And they decide our fates here. There is a war on the street, and I would ask the respectable people who are in charge to look into what is happening in our judiciary. Appointments and so on and so forth. Let's just get to it right now and figure it out," Grigorchuk said in a post-match flash interview.
