Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season

[MK-74]

People are discussing the possibility of Fenerbahçe board to decide to withdraw from the league as well recently. However I'm not expecting such thing to happen. I wouldn't like to see one of the biggest teams of the Super League in lower leagues to tell the truth. These teams are keeping the prestige level of the Super League in its current place.

By the way I see it like there are 2 teams to join the Champions League qualification stage this season. Is it true? If it is then this means there is a chance that we have a potential to carry 2 teams from our country to the Champions League group stage. To increase the country coefficient this would be really great. 

Yes, we will participate with 2 teams next year. But there is a problem: if Fenerbahçe withdraws from the League, we will lose points as a country and it will be a problem for us to go to the European Leagues.
Let's see what decision will be made on April 2, everyone is waiting for this decision.

[Webetcoins]

I don't think there will be a serious decision regarding Fenerbahçe. Nobody wants to see one of Turkey's three biggest teams playing in the lower league. You cannot give an unfair penalty to a team with millions of fans.
I think this issue will be concluded with the penalties that a few players will receive. The president of the federation is already making speeches about unity and solidarity, people have to be more compassionate towards each other

I also think that they are afraid of making a decision that will affect the fate of the league, but there is a great chaos in the football in the country right now, so it's very difficult to predict what the decision will be. Leaving it until after the elections also increases the question marks. Why are they waiting for the election to announce the penalties, it's a strange situation.
There should be deterrent penalties to prevent such incidents from happening again, but we see major incidents like this several times every season. We can even say that we are used to this situation as a people.

Yeah, now it's time for the TFF to bring strict rules and policies because recently we have good development in league and as things were going on positive way we have big incident which are surely not acceptable even right now nothing is clear, and we have to wait for the 2nd April with election is also going to have big impact on this all if we have any wrong decision from the Fenerbahçe then surely this could be huge setback.

President of the federation is trying to settle things, but now it's just not going to settle with speeches we need some serious changes which will bring better and positive changes in soccer which is much needed for all clubs and fans which now love to watch good soccer.

I think the first change should definitely be the TFF management, first of all there should be a fair TFF management, if that comes, the League will definitely be better.
Referees definitely need to be trained much better, unfortunately this cannot happen with referees, they are getting worse every day.

Trabzonspor fans have harbored hatred against Fenerbahçe for years. This tension must be defused before something irreversibly bad happens. Everyone should remember that sports are for friendship and brotherhood. Of course, sporting achievements are important, but human life is more important than anything else. A peace event should be organized to ensure the friendship of both teams.

This week both teams will play easy opponents. I think Fenerbahçe will beat Adana Demirspor and Galatasaray will beat Hatayspor. Adana Demirspor and Hatayspor were good in the first half of the season, but they didn't show the same stability in the second half of the season.

This unnecessary and senseless hatred has affected the whole league. There was really no reason for such a big scene. There's no reason for this ridiculous feud. Trabzonspor fans are making a big mistake. They are fixated on ridiculous incidents from the past and it is affecting first their own team, then Fenerbahçe and then the whole league. Both Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe should focus on themselves and the game, both as clubs and as fans. The decisions to be taken now will affect the league. If Trabzonspor does not receive a very big penalty, it will be unfair and will cause such incidents to happen again in the future. I actually hate that we have to talk about these ridiculous issues.

If something similar to this season had happened in one of Europe's 8 major leagues, and it wouldn't even have been possible for the season to reach this point, the federation management would have been dismissed completely, the central referee board would have been abolished, and most of the referees would have been unemployed. It was such a bad season that we witnessed a scandal every week that would lead to the cancellation of the league. Despite all this, there has been no resignation, no one being prosecuted, no one taking responsibility. This is how football turns into a circus when there is no law in the country. They disgraced us to the whole world.

In fact, every time problem occurs, there is always solution that can be taken to resolve it, the previous league went well and many people liked it.
Moreover, this is not personal interest but for the of football, it would be shame that what was going well should be destroyed in vain just like that.
This was difficult decision and many people thought there was some kind of game going on in it that had to do with the power of the central council who previously had complete control over everything.
But that is what will happen now and nothing will be able to change it, those who get sanctions are those who are found guilty and everyone has followed the plot.

It just that if look back and evaluate it based on the problems that occurred in one of the previous matches, there are indeed several things that are really mistakes that cannot be given relief.
We see how it develops, and remember that the problem that previously occurred when the referee was beaten, was also resolved well even though there was a delay in the league.

The Turkish football federation has made too many administrative mistakes. Now the executives and the president there need to resign. Turkish football needs radical changes.

Fenerbahçe president Ali Koç should also resign if Fenerbahçe is not champion at the end of the season. He has been in charge of the club for 6 years and Fenerbahçe has suffered a sporting failure during this period. Since his family is the richest family in Turkey, no one can stand against him in the club presidential elections, but things have to change. If we are talking about radical changes, club presidents should also be involved.

If there were such incidents in a European League, the managers and referees of that league would have been dismissed by now.
But since this is Türkiye and there are no sanctions, they are so comfortable.
It is very normal for this to happen if you make people who have nothing to do with football as managers.
Instead of trying to improve the quality of football, they are doing the exact opposite.

There was so much scandal, the guy didn't care, why should he resign now? They should be removed from office, but the person running the country doesn't have the will to do so.

Ali Koç was going to quit at the end of the season, but now he has become stubborn and says he will not resign. This is a completely different situation. So far, he hasn't been able to make the team a champion. Normally, Fenerbahçe fans would have already shown him the door. But they've gone through extraordinary times, so the fans can't raise too much noise.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

The fight between Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor may motivate Fenerbahçe players. Fenerbahçe have been winning with last minute goals in recent weeks. They were winning games when they were behind. They have been in a mental slump in recent weeks. Their coach and president were constantly discussed in the press. After this incident, they came together as a community. This will undoubtedly give them motivation. I think these incidents have benefited Fenerbahçe.

[Pierre 2]

I think Ali Koç is some sort of manipulative personality as president of Fenerbahçe. Everyone knows he is trying to stir public so fan pressure to football federation will be high. He doesn't want 3 Fenerbahçe players to receive huge match bans because of their incident with Trabzonspor fans. I personally think Fenerbahçe players deserve it because violence on pitch should be unacceptable. Rule book is clear. Fenerbahçe players should have left pitch as soon as they win.

[wiss19]

The "out of the field" discussions are growing more and more as I can see. Since the season started I have read a lot of stuff regards to referee decisions so far and I do think that was a bit more than any other league I have seen.

I follow for example top five leagues, and Eredevise and so forth, and of course they all had "some" referee discussions but whenever I come to this topic, or whenever I check the results at my favourite twitter handle to see which game ended how, I see people discussing refs every single game. Now that I look at it, it's even beyond that, Fenerbahce is trying to leave the league, like completely, they are that much fed up with ref decisions. This is beyond my understanding, it's way too much.

I think the rules need to be revised from scratch. A player should be able to do anything to protect himself on the field, especially if the referee is not doing things to protect the players. Before the events escalated, the referee had to fulfill his duty and evacuate the entire stadium if necessary, but he insisted on playing the match. Throwing foreign objects onto the field is unacceptable, and entering the field is never something fans can do. It's even more strange that the referee isn't talked about at all in this environment; in a normal country, the career of the referee who continued such a match would be ended. This referee, who is responsible for the safety of the players, didn't do his job properly. And this isn't the referee's first incident. Unfortunately, as long as the referees, federation and laws in the country are like this, we will see more such cases.

Our league is suspended due to national matches. There is so much chaos that I am not interested in our league. Maybe the international break will good for us. Our national team lost 1-0 to against Hungary in the first friendly match. Our national team will face Austria in the second friendly match tonight.

Turkiye's starting XI against Austria: Uğurcan Çakır, Mert Müldür, Kaan Ayhan, Merih Demiral, Cenk Özkacar, Salih Özcan, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Arda Güler, İrfan Can Kahveci, Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Kenan Yıldız.

Austria's starting XI against Turkiye :Schlager, Posch, Danso, Wöber, Mwene, Laimer, Xaver Schlager, Seiwald, Schmid, Baumgartner, Gregoritsch.

Today we didn't get a good result and to tell the truth we got a terrible result, but the offensive line of our national team is one of the most potential offensive lines. Arda, Kenan, Kerem and Semih are young players. If we manage to form a good goalkeeper and a good defense line that is used to playing together, we can get good results with this team in the future. I would have liked us to win today's match but it was a friendly so it was not very important. I think we should focus more on the potential than the result. Also, we have to know that it's normal to have these results from time to time because we have a young team.

[MK-74]

It was one of the worst games I've ever watched, it's really sad to lose 6-1.
It might be a friendly but this score is not good.
I hope we will get good scores in the Euro 2024 games.

@LGD2Business   Players can definitely protect themselves, I agree with you on that. Otherwise it would be ridiculous to say come and beat me up.

[ingiltere]

There are no league games this weekend. The league will start after the local elections. Weekday matches will be played. By the way, the penalties are still not announced for incidents happened last match-week.
Galatasaray will play at home against Hatayspor while Fenerbahçe will host Adana Demirspor. There is a very high chance that both teams will get 3 points and continue on their way. The race in the league will continue like this until the last week.

[MK-74]

I think the penalties will be announced after the local elections, I wonder what kind of penalties will be given.

The league starts again on April 2, as you said Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe will get 3 points. I don't think both teams will have a hard time.
The championship race will continue like this, and the champion will be determined by the derby game to be played in the last week of the league.

[emrecemsan]

PFDK has announced penalties for some teams but there is still no announcement about the most important topic. I think penalties shouldn't have been left to a time after elections. Because the incidents happened after the Trabzonspor - Fenerbahçe match were really sensitive. You shouldn't be so slow to take action on these disgraceful incidents. 

As for the title rivalry in the league it is going to continue from where it left. I expect both teams to return with wins. It really feels like the champion will be decided by the Galatasaray v Fenerbahçe derby in the last moments of the season.

By the way in a week there is a Super Cup match in Şanlıurfa. I hope we wouldn't see embarrassing things during or after this match also. What do you think on it?

After the break because of the national matches, we had to take another break because of the local elections. I think this is a disadvantage for Galatasaray but an advantage for Fenerbahçe. Because Fenerbahçe have been in a decline in terms of performance in the last weeks. This long break will be an opportunity for them to rest. On the other hand, Galatasaray have been getting clearer results in recent weeks. If there hadn't been a break in the league, Fenerbahçe could have lost more points. I think this is also the reason for the incidents in the last matches. They realize they can't be champions so they resort to off-field incidents.
