Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[LGD2Business]

some more lies

It seems like you want to prolong this issue when you should be apologizing. Show me one Turkish source reporting on this. Or show me a statement from one of the players. Or show me a statement from Osimhen or someone else about this. You can't do that because there is no such thing. Also, only fools would believe this lie. Emirhan's teammates Ndidi is Nigerian and plays on the same national team as Osimhen. Tammy Abraham, El Bilal Toure, Tiago Djaló, Felix Uduokhai, they are all Emirhan's black teammates. If something like that had happened, they would have been the first to react. Why didn't that happen? Because you are all saying the lie you made up in unison.

When it comes to racism, you won't find it in Türkiye, at least not against black people. The biggest enemy of racism is the Beşiktaş stands. But what you're doing is using racism as an excuse to legitimize an obvious attack on the field. None of us will allow that. The player you defend committed a crime in the field and got away with it. If the referee had shown him a red card, he would have received at least a 4-match ban. The referee didn't just affect the outcome of this match, he also affected the next four matches.

Your lies won't get you off the hook. This matter won't be closed until you publicly apologize for spreading lies. You can't impose something different on us than what we watched. You didn't even watch the game, all you're doing is coming here and lying.

Mere looking at this image, one would wonder why Victor Osimhen was holding that guy in the throat, some would think he was fouled and he got angry at it but no, it's words that cuts deeper than even a knife on him. He Osimhen was racially abused and that why he reacted that way. Eto'O wanted the league to apologise within a certain time and if they don't the matter was going to be taken to FIFA as as he said, he would push for permanent ban on the players footballing career. It's time FIFA started taking drastic actions on these players that feel they are above the other just because they have a different pigmentation.

You won't find racism anywhere else in Turkey. Beşiktaş is one of the teams with the highest number of players of African descent. Furthermore, you've likely never seen racism so readily in Turkey before. Having lived in Turkey, I can easily tell you this. Africans, in particular, are very welcoming to us. If there's been any tension between the players, I don't think that's the cause. Perhaps if there's one country in Europe with the least or no racism at all, it's Turkey.

There are a lot of Africans in Turkey though they haven't complained about racism to me but the case between Victor Osimhen and the Beşiktaş player is something that have gotten the attention of everyone and the Internet has been on fire since that game was played he I believe an investigation is still going on to determine the actual thing that led to that fight because from what is happening right now no one would believe that Victor Osimhen could grab that player on the net the way he did it it was just a mere tackle. Beşiktaş also has more of Black players if there's something they are keeping from the media everything will later be brought to light.

Victor Osimhen is a cool headed guy, and i haven't seen him react this way ever since i started watching him play football in Europe, but for Victor Osimhen to hook the Besiktas player, that means the player must have said something that annoyed Victor Osimhen and made him to lose his cool. I know that Turkish FA will carry out an investigation to know what the Besiktas player actually said to Victor Osimhen, and i believe if he is found guilty, he will be dealt with so that other players will know there is no room for racism in football. Victor Osimhen should just move on with his life and put what happened between him and the Besiktas player behind him.

Be clear about what you want to say, my friend. Don't say, "He must have said something," etc.
He may have sworn, but what you're referring to is most likely racism, but such things don't happen often in Türkiye. There are many African footballers living in Türkiye. Osimhen is not innocent in that situation. He attacked his opponent harshly. If it had been a racist remark, Osimhen wouldn't have stood on the pitch. He would have walked off the pitch in front of the world and reacted.
There's no racism. What you're trying to imply is most likely racism, but there's no such thing.

This news hasn’t appeared in any global media outlets. If something like this had actually happened, it would’ve been a huge topic in Turkey but since it didn’t, no one talked about it. There are still people spreading this news as if it were real, but let me clarify, it’s not true. Let’s get back to talking about football and stop wasting time on nonsense.

You have not been to every part of Turkey, let's even assume you have, you definitely can't be in every part at the same time to assume that you can't find racism in the country. These players can say anything just to provoke the opponent the way they normally do some he could react and of course possibly been sent off the pitch. We have seen these things play out in the field of play over the years.

The Turkish league always has surprises, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe usually start strong, but Beşiktaş often improves later in the season. Watching how the odds change after big derby games can help find good value bets. Which team do you think will stay strong till the end?

Perhaps the former Cameroonian international understands the situation better because he too had suffered similar fate when he was in Barcelona. I think the Cameroon international is right about seeking an apology from the Turkish league body, at least this will help appease the the Nigerian striker that was racially abused but I think it is also necessary for the authorities to carry out some disciplinary measures against the Turkish player to serve as a deterrent for other players in future.

What measures do you expect to be taken about something that hasn't happened? Which level of trolling is that?

I now think they are deliberately trolling this place. The best thing to do is to report them to their signature campaign managers. They don't write anything relevant to the topic, they ignore what is written and they constantly post off-topic messages. It's imperative to get rid of these trolls. They write about something that doesn't exist as if it did and constantly spam the thread. Spammers who have never watched a single second of the Turkish League in their lives come and pollute this place, we shouldn't tolerate this any longer.

The mere inconsistency of the attacks on Galatasaray has been talks of all fans online. There has been cases of this type of behaviour before, both from Besiktas players and Fenerbahce players and they both got yellow cards, just like how Osimhen did as well.

However, when you look online, all other teams are asking for a red card to Osimhen for some reason and yet nobody knows why, it's just because Galatasaray is the leader and Osimhen is a 75 million euro player, so they want him to be red carded, when their own players did the same and did not get red card. In fact, so much so that Fenerbahce player themselves did this to SAME player from Besiktas, and only got Yellow card, and yet for some reason Osimhen should get red card? No sense.

I completely agree with you, that’s exactly what I’m saying too.
If referees have given a yellow card for the same type of challenge before, then this one should also be a yellow.

If it had clearly been a red-card offense, no one would argue about it, but the problem is the inconsistency.
It makes no sense to expect a red card now for a situation that’s always been treated as a yellow in the past.

Referees need to be consistent, giving the same decision for the same kind of incident is the most natural and fair thing to do.

His was almost similar situation at Napoli that led to Osimhen loosing interest in the team which further led to a declined performance from him the rest of the time he further spent there and I want to believe that Galatasaray should understand the weight of this and make the necessary move so they do not get hit the most from this, not after spending the huge sum they did spent to bring him to Turkey. And Eto is very right with the demands he is make which is believed to be supported by a vast majority.

[Fiatless]

I don't know where you heard this, but it's a totally blatant lie. These players are getting a huge backlash from all the fans for not being punished for what they did on the pitch, but that has nothing to do with racism. If anyone should be punished here, it is Osimhen, but everyone knows very well that this will not happen because they have been protecting them for 40+ years. As long as Osimhen remains unpunished, the backlash against him will continue. He is a bad person with bad intentions who doesn't belong on the pitch and should be banned from football immediately. He is not a football player.
The millions of Euros given to him have damaged the Turkish economy. Since no taxes were paid, this damage was against the entire Turkish nation. In a normal country, not only the club and the federation, but even the government has to account for this. But that is not how it works here.

I am a die-hard supporter of Victor Osimhen but his on-pitch and off the pitch behaviour has been disgraceful. I know great footballers like Zinedine Zidane and others have acted violently on the pitch but Victor have to learn to control his temper. His uncontrollable anger was one of the reasons many top clubs avoided him during the transfer window. Many coaches in modern-day football would not want to deal with such a player. He needs to calm down and give his best to a club that believes in him and gave him a lifeline. No player is above the club or the League.

But I find your comments about the Nigerian is a bad person and should be banned from football as extreme. And insinuating that the amount they paid him has destroyed the Turkish economy is weird. How can a few million dollars affect a $1.44 trillion economy? Don't forget that the Nigerian brought more attention to the Süper Lig and this can be monetised. I began to watch the Turkish League because of him and other good players and unlike what I believed the football quality there is good. I left Chelsea to become a core Galatasaray fan because of the love the fans show to players.

I think its time for us to move on and focus on games that will be played after the international break.

I am sure that Besiktas player said something but not racist thing, just a normal bad thing. If racism was an issue thing is long happening in Turkey even if they want to decline it, same Galatasaray got called "monkeys" last year, and nobody said a thing, in fact they rushed globally to defend Mourinho when he called them Monkeys, you may think monkey is not racist, you may say "oh he meant the way they were jumping" and because you defend one thing, you move the goal post further, and further, and further.

Now that you allowed monkeys to be okay last year, then this guy may have called Osimhen the same thing, since he knows they are not going to get banned. If you do not stop racism when it first happens, you are not going to be able to stop it later on.

I don't believe such a thing will happen in Turkey. Because there's no such thing as racism in Turkey. We're not a country where people are judged by their skin color. Because we're all one. Everyone is human in our eyes. We're a very cosmopolitan country. Furthermore, if such a word is used against Osimhen and it's heard, the player who used it is more or less predicting what will happen to them. Therefore, in this country where the fan base is so strong, racism cannot be tolerated against any player. A distasteful example occurred in the past with Trabzonspor's Zokora, but later, the player who committed the racist act faced significant difficulties.

El Bilal Toure's injury looks more serious than expected. Luckily there is a national break, hopefully he will be fit for the first league game. I don't like national breaks but it's good for the return of injured players. Without El Bilal Toure, the rotation is very weak. Abraham has no backup. Mustafa is inadequate. On the left wing, Jota didn't get much time. So it's uncertain how they will perform. Frankly speaking, if we don't get enough goal contribution from the wings this season, success is not possible. I hope Sergen Yalçın is working with the team on this.

El Bilal Touré is one of Beşiktaş’s best transfers this season, and I think they’ve managed to get good performances from him.
Beşiktaş’s main problem is the lack of squad depth, when a player gets injured, the replacement is often of much lower quality, which causes a lot of imbalance in the team.
Almost none of Beşiktaş’s substitutes are at the level expected for a club like Beşiktaş.
I hope El Bilal Touré recovers quickly. I really like.

Victor Osimhen is very passionate and sometimes get worked up in certain situations but which player can be said to not have aggression. Squarez bit other players, one of the finest to ever kick the ball Zidane headbutt another player in the chest. I could go on and on listing top players who have had some moments of aggression on the pitch so people should give Osimhen a break.

I think so, because we all know that football is a passionate game. Players with such passion for the game can display very aggressive behavior during matches. Of course, he may have heard some provoking remarks during the match. However, he should be a professional and ignore such remarks. That's exactly what his opponents want. It's very difficult to stop him physically in Turkey, so some words may have been used to mentally stop him.

I don't know what what makes you think that was a trolling because I can't place it how. It could you are now aware that since Victor Osimhen started playing for Galatasaray a lot of Nigerians because of him has picked interest in watching the Turkish league just to watch one of their own top star play. So you may be wrong thinking that this people don't watch the league.

Singo is injured for 3-4 weeks... This is bad news for us considering we have a CL game in only 11 days also. For now it's said he's likely to recover by November 2. I hope no further than that.

He won't be able to play vs Bodø/Glimt. The Ajax game is on November 5th. I guess he'd be okay until then. He is a big plus for us in the CL. Sallai can't make up for him there as it's not even his natural position.
