Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[tbterryboy]

Despite dominating the match from start to finish, Beşiktaş fell behind twice and dropped two points.
They missed several scoring opportunities, but they scored the first goal when goalkeeper El Bilal Toure deflected the ball into the net.
Gaziantepspor took the lead again in the second half, but Abraham took advantage of a corner kick and quickly scored with a header, leveling the score at 2-2.
Beşiktaş attempted numerous shots, but most of them went to goalkeeper Zafer.
Zafer arguably made the most saves of his career in this match.

Bayo scored twice and brought the visitors in lead but both of the times, Besiktas gave reply with their better attack, they failed to score third goal. This is the repeated story of them in last few games, they are losing points even at home and going down in league table overall.

Most of the Besiktas players were playing casual game, and they wasted too many chances while Gaziantep having better strategy and approach in this game - this was their win as they were able to have one point from this game. Gorge was also amazing with his skills and performance, he stopped few good chances in front of goal. Now Besiktas chances are going to be limiting them to have a better season. In next game, they are going to visit Trabzonspor who are on good run and surely going to be highly challenging for them.

At the beginning of the year, I expected Galatasaray to have a comfortable season because they spent so much and their squad was full of really good players. However, that gap hasn't materialized yet. They're only two points ahead of Trabzonspor in second place and three points behind Fenerbahçe in third. So, the table could change at any moment. Galatasaray could suddenly find themselves in third place. After their tough Champions League matches, they're not always fully focused on league matches. So, while this year's performance isn't exactly what we expected, it's clear they're still top of the table. Still, considering the difference in squad quality, I can say that their points drop so far has been surprising.

I don't understand how this is called offside. Isn't the Gaziantep player's knee ahead of Beşiktaş defender's shoe toe in this VAR image? They are just making a huge error despite seeing it in the image.

If VAR isn't going to be used properly consistently then its existence doesn't mean much. Foreign referees should absolutely be a thing we need to consider. But we aren't doing it anyway despite all this kind of incidents so far.

[LGD2Business]

There has still been no statement today. The club is not even reacting to these scandalous events. The management have no credibility left. We urgently need to replace the board and the manager. This management is incapable of defending Beşiktaş's rights. Those who remain silent while our points are being stolen openly cannot manage Beşiktaş. Numerous changes in presidents and managers in the near past couldn't change anything. There is no point in persisting with the bad. Transfers during the break should be made by the new board and new manager. Beşiktaş don't have a single minute to waste.

Beşiktaş failed to take advantage of an important opportunity. If they had won this match, they would currently be in 4th place, but they drew 2–2 at home against Gaziantep FK.
Beşiktaş created many chances but struggled to score, they were the better side throughout the match.

Alanyaspor–Antalyaspor match ended goalless. It was a poor game, with very few shots on target. A draw was the ideal outcome for this match.

The referees keep making mistakes and the decision was a scandal. Whether beşiktaş wins or loses doesn’t matter, how is that not a penalty? I have to congratulate beşiktaş, they really played well. They created a lot of chances and this was one of their best performances since sergen yalçın took charge.

I didn’t fully understand which team you were expecting a penalty for.
There could have been a penalty for both teams, but the referee didn’t give it.
We’re tired of saying this already, the referees are bad.
The person running the TFF is making statements today and still protecting the referees.
We definitely need foreign referees in our league, but since no team insists on this, it’s not happening.

[xzone]

I don't understand how VAR didn't overturn a clear offside. The penalty was definitely there, it's very strange that it wasn't given either. Gaziantep FK goalkeeper played the best game of his life. Beşiktaş's attackers need to be more clinical. I was going to bet on over 3.5 goals at half time, thinking maybe Beşiktaş would score only one goal, so I bet on the win. I chose this because I knew the attackers missed a lot of goals, but the second Gaziantep goal, which came from Emirhan's mistake, messed things up a bit. Still, the match could've ended 3-2, they really missed a lot of goals.

We can no longer consider any match in the Turkish Super League to be fairly officiated. After recent events and betting fixing, I believe VAR decisions will not be transparent enough. Of course, some people might be taking credit for Beşiktaş's actions.
It's quite surprising that Beşiktaş didn't get three points from this match; it's truly unbelievable that they missed so many scoring opportunities

Referees are like a joke in our league unfortunately.    This has never changed for so many years. We are still discussing the same things thanks to near zero development in Turkish football.

We need to try something different. I love the idea of bringing foreign referees more often. The last time I remember was a Fenerbahçe - Galatasaray derby of which Vinčić was the referee. We need this in all matches as much as possible.

Beşiktaş  debt reached around 18 billion TL  and they ended the current financial year with a loss of ~4  billion TL. Their cash flow is weak, making it impossible to done up the necessary funds for short term loans. In fact his kind of financial situation  never paints a picture of  good management

In addition to financial problems there has been an unethical incident  with a fired employee claiming to have deleted the data of more than 3000 players after the youth academy was restructured, suggesting internal chaos and negligence. Besides I have heard that fans are openly calling for the resignation of the management after the results of the recent matches. So you probably rightly say that the present management cannot protect the rights of the basic. But changing the board and coach wont suddenly solve debt or technical problems, the club need long term financial planning, transparent governance and a clear vision, only  reactive change will not help anymore

This is one of the biggest reasons why Turkish football hasn't made any progress. Referees can't or don't want to officiate matches. There's a separate problem. This problem arises in every match. I think bringing in foreign referees is the best way forward. It's becoming increasingly imperative that foreign referees be present in every match, not just derbies. This process will also weed out the bad local referees. Until a proper system is established, foreign referees should officiate matches.

My only pity is when Osimhen leaves for the AFCON, the few games that will be played without the striker is going to be hell of a problem for them. Galatasaray are definitely going to lose points in his absence. The competition between Trabzonspor and Galatasaray is epic, only that Galatasaray are slightly better, difference in the last five matches is only one lost match by Galatasaray.

They will probably be looking for a solution to that already because they should know that the absence of an actual striker can affect them in ways that will bee detrimental to their pursuit for the season. At least they need to maintain  the Turkish title for this season even if they will not be able  to contend  the champions league enough to getting a chance to winning  the title, they will have their domestic title as a compensation for the season if they win the title.

I struggled to understand what was happening while watching the match. VAR decisions are really starting to get ridiculous; every week we're talking about a new series of scandalous events. Beşiktaş put up a good fight, but missing so many clear chances is also absurd. The quality of referees hasn't improved for years; the idea of ​​using foreign referees really seems necessary now, and then there's this whole betting scandal thing, it's a complete disgrace.

The football federation will probably opt to work with a foreign VAR referee in the second half of the season. Referees in Turkey really make very strange decisions. Scandalous mistakes are made in many matches. These are shameful sights for refereeing. Perhaps the Turkish football federation should spend more money on referee education.

I'm not expecting that to happen honestly. Because people have been wishing to see foreign referees for a long time. But TFF just don't want to listen to those calls. They just act like they always know the best.

Not only VAR referees but also other referees should be foreign. It should be given a chance. I would love to see ones such as Vinčić managing matches in our league. I would respect their decisions more as they will probably make less mistakes.

I can say that the two matches played on Monday ended pretty much as I expected. I already thought there would be no winner in the Antalya derby, and that's how it turned out. Neither team played particularly well. Although Antalya is going through a poor spell, its superiority over its rivals is clearly evident in the matches it plays against them.
Beşiktaş drew 2-2 at home against Gaziantep. We already knew that Gaziantep's form had been improving in recent weeks, and we know that Beşiktaş has been struggling to win matches. So I thought Gaziantep could get a point here, and that's what happened. Although Beşiktaş played well compared to their opponents, they just couldn't find the winning goal. Beşiktaş took around 30 shots but struggled to get past Gaziantep's goalkeeper, Zafer Görgen.

[MK-74]

The TFF president is still protecting his own referees, while we, as fans, don’t want to see referee mistakes in the league.
The views of the fans and the TFF president are completely opposite.

There is a president in the TFF who threatens people, telling them what they can and cannot say, even threatening the broadcasting company as if there were others offering more money than beIN.

Also, why didn’t the TFF give Mert Hakan Yandaş any punishment?
He was taken into custody, yet the TFF didn’t impose any disciplinary action.
This must be what double standards look like.

This weekend, there's a tough match in the Turkish Super League between Trabzonspor and Beşiktaş. The game will be played at Trabzonspor's home ground, and I'm sure the fans will fill the stands to support their team. Trabzonspor is currently one of the teams with championship aspirations, and they know how tough an opponent Beşiktaş is. I think they've prepared specifically for this match. I believe Trabzonspor can win this weekend.

This is a very absurd comment. The TFF started the investigation. If they didn't want to punish Mert Hakan, they wouldn't have brought these incidents up at all. You know very well that Mert Hakan's situation is different from the others. The other players placed bets using their own accounts, but Mert Hakan did it through his friends. So, Mert Hakan has many question marks in the public conscience, but according to the law, he cannot be easily punished...

Beşiktaş hasn't been playing well in recent weeks. On the other hand, Trabzonspor has made a better-than-expected start to the season. Trabzonspor has only lost one game this season. I don't think they will lose this match...

[localalone]

Sovereignty of Turkish soccer is under serious threat due to many scandals and now with these recent issues things are getting worst after every day they needed to be done few toughest decisions because without having strong and professional management changes will be never happen.
Betting scandal and then many clubs are facing internal issues while referees are also having too many issues they always fail bring games into fair way who is going to settle this because in last few years this was looking good but suddenly gone into deep whole.
I was very optimistic about their soccer, but these recent issues really give me shock now feeling they are going to be had troubling time in future due to their biased system.

Looking at this league and how it's doing in UEFA competitions, I have to say they need to realize something is going wrong compared to how much money they are spending. Sure they are not ranked super low, they are like 8th or 9th something like that in Europe which isn't terrible that is true.

But compared to how much they are spending? Way too much money is spent in this league compared to how much success they are getting in Europe, that is not normal. If a team is worth 300 million euro, and then losing to many teams that are under 100 million euro value, that's just straight up bad. And this isn't just one team, there are bunch of teams like that in the league that constantly gets bad results and gets humiliated.
