Formerly authoritative referee Miroslav Stupar has commented on the high-profile episode of the first league match between Pitmen's Sport and Dynaz (2-0), in which the guests' striker Vyacheslav Shevchenkohit the chief referee with his head in the chest.
Miroslav Stupar"At the amateur level, there are still instances of violence by players towards referees. But in matches of professional teams or national teams it is a rarity. Although not so long ago, in April 2023, the defender of Zhytomyr "Polesya" Vadym Chervak allowed himself to push in the back of the referee of the match with "Metalurg" Sofia Prichina.
I remember, then the UAF CDC disqualified Chervak for six months, which was then for some reason reduced to three months.
Of course, Vyacheslav Shevchenko attacked the referee much more brutally. Let the interested parties find out what put the player off balance. In my opinion, for such hooliganism he can not avoid disqualification until the end of the season. And since Shevchenko is bound by a contract until 30 June 2024, he will not be able to play for Vyshgorod. Moreover, given that he is already 38 years old, it is possible that he will decide to end his football career. This is what elementary intemperance leads to," - quotes Stupar Sport.ua.
