Hate the Referee

Madness In Tajikistan As Players And Fans Attack The Referee

Jason Davis, November 9, 2012

These insane scenes come from the Tajik Premier League, where Istaravshan FK took on Energetik Dushanbe in a league match. After the Energetik goalkeeper conceded a goal he thought should be disallowed, he attempted to kick the referee. Fans and players swarmed the ref before the two teams fled the pitch to escape the chaos. After police cleared the field, home side Istaravshan come back out the resume the game. Energetik refused, and the game was abandoned.

Presumably, Energetik left to wait for their next contact on the road to Dushanbe.
