Skala Stryi does not want to postpone the match of the 3rd round of the first league of the Ukrainian championship with Uzhhorod, whose employees were involved in an accident a week ago. The entire coaching, medical, and administrative staff of the Transcarpathian team was injured in the minibus.
"Everyone has a concussion, the head coach has a broken nose, and the team doctor was operated on yesterday. So the whole week the team worked in the complete absence of the coaching and medical staff. Sometimes they even worked under the leadership of one of their players.
In this regard, the club has repeatedly appealed to its closest rival, Skala (Stryi), to postpone the second league match to any other date. But each time they were denied. They did not want to enter into the situation, citing an important weekly training cycle.
The PFL is powerless in this situation, because the game can only be rescheduled with the consent of both parties. If the case of FC Uzhhorod does not fall under the concept of force majeure, then, in my opinion, someone in this situation simply lacks ordinary humanity. Or, to put it in sports terms, an elementary manifestation of fair play," said former journalist Ihor Burbas on his telegram channel.
