Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[broccolo9]

I watched the entire Beşiktaş vs. Trabzonspor match. The first 30 minutes of the game were marked by virtually no midfield resistance. Both teams moved very quickly toward the opponents penalty area and created scoring opportunities during this phase of the match. Then the players got tired, and the pace of the game slowed down a bit. During this phase, I expected Beşiktaş, with their high technical skill, to dominate the match, but no player on the Beşiktaş team with creative game intelligence stepped up. Neither Olaitan nor Cerny managed to do so. Vlahovic was ineffective. Miretti also failed to make an impact. On the other hand, the only player on Trabzonspor who could have done this was Salah, but he was lost among the Beşiktaş defense. Trabzonspor capitalized on the advantage of having a team built around athletic and dynamic players, scoring through counterattacks and winning the match...

Thats my take on the match...

After this game, as a Beşiktaş fan, I consider Beşiktaşs chances of winning the championships this season to be zero...

Vlahovic was ineffective strangely he started well and scored a lot of goals as we were used to seeing him in Juventus but he definitely improved but he wasn't able to do his job which he does well lately, scoring and making his team win draws, but i think they can do better than this.

In recent matches, Trabzonspor has greatly improved unlike the beginning of the season when they were not really performing well. Mohamed Salah may not be giving much but his presence boost the teams confidence because he came from a big team in the Premier League and he is a wonderful player. Trabzonspor has won two big teams which is Galatasaray and Beşiktaş, it shows that they are formidable enough to contend the title against Galatasaray, after all they are just 3 pints away from each other which is very easy to close the gap and even top the table with goals difference. Beşiktaş has lost 3 matches out of 8 games, though they are not too far from the top but they don't have the force to compete for the title so they will likely end within the top 4.

Anthony Taylor has been appointed as the new chairman of MHK. For years everyone had been calling for foreign referees, but the federation had opposed this. Now, partly out of necessity, they've appointed a foreigner as MHK chairman. I hope this will lead to better outcomes in the long run. However I argue that the referees on the field should also be foreign. We've learned through years of experience that this system doesn't work with Turkish referees. Referees need to be trained from the beginning. There can be no quality where favoritism and cronyism prevail.

I also believe that foreign referees should officiate matches, as Turkish referees perform very poorly. Furthermore, it is evident during matches that they succumb to pressure from the teams. Referees, who ought to be completely objective, are unfortunately influenced by certain circumstances. For this reason, I think foreign referees should officiate games in the Super league. Perhaps Anthony Taylor can do something about this.

Turkish football involves incredibly large sums of money; it's a huge economy, and there are problems that have persisted for years. Solving these problems won't be easy, and perhaps we'll never see them resolved. Nevertheless, it's good that something is being attempted, and I think having foreign referees officiate matches would be a good approach. Right now, we all know which team every Turkish referee supports, and unfortunately, we've all witnessed the kind of support they give in various matches

Unfortunately I agree. Normally this whole nation must be able to find its own referee managements with just and without corruption people. But they couldn't. Recent events surrounding the refereeing bodies have been beyond belief. People had, in fact, been saying this for a long time. They claimed that poor and unfair decisions were being made, and that things like bribery were taking place. Eventually, people were dismissed, resigned or arrested. Normally, under these circumstances, decent individuals from across the country should have been appointed to leadership roles and a transparent approach to management should have been demonstrated, but unfortunately, this is not happening. At this stage, appointing foreign individuals to these roles seems the most sensible and correct decision. Frankly, I anticipate that biased decisions regarding Galatasaray will decrease from now on. At the very least, that is what ought to happen.

I don’t really know if appointment of foreign referees are going to give a solution to the problem of bad officiating in the Turkish League, the name I have heard is Anthony Taylor who just retired from being a referee in the English Premier League, and have been appointed as the head of Turkish Referee Committee to over see everything that has to do with officiating, so I don’t really know if it makes sense, if that is going to help improve the quality of officiating in the Turkish League. We wait and see if anything change happens, we all hopes their is going to be an improvement in the quality of officiating, I believe that is why this appointment was made.

Appointing an experienced foreign referee is not a bad move, as his exposure could help improve the standard of officiating. Officials could be trained and gain important skills. But this might not change much if the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) remains under corrupt individuals. They could frustrate the good work of the head of the Turkish Referee Committee. If the head is rotten, the body will follow suit. The Turkish League would compete favourably with others in Europe if poor officiating were curbed.

I was about raising this issue of the football federation as one of the problems of league officiations in almost every league. When the leadership is corrupt, they will either have bad influence on the good referees or they frustrate the referee out of the league. Anthony Taylor is a seasoned referee and can drive a good change in the league with his many experiences. He is the only the second referee to have officiated the Cup final twice.

The league will experience a good change hopefully under his leadership or it will expose all the many corruptions that happen behind the scenes instead of compromise his integrity built over the years of hard work and dedication.

Having high quality referees naturally elevates the standard of a league. Anthony Taylor taking charge of the referee committee appears to be a positive move for Turkey, especially given the frequent complaints regarding officiating and the fact that the previous head of the committee was taken into custody an event that brought to light various forms of cheating. If Turkey wishes to progress in football, it must grant its referees the necessary freedom and resources.

As long as there is no proper system in place in Turkey, nothing will change—even if you were to bring in someone like Anthony Taylor, or even Pierluigi Collina. In Turkish football, no one actually wants what is right or fair.
When the "Big Three" take the pitch—especially in their own home stadiums—referees almost invariably make biased decisions. How could someone like Anthony Taylor possibly change such an entrenched system?

If this initiative leads to success and fosters a league environment where referees are no longer a subject of constant debate, then the president of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) can be considered successful. However, if referees remain the primary topic of discussion following matches, then he, too, will have no choice but to resign.

Samsunspor’s performance in the Süper Lig this season has been a disappointment to everyone. They are currently among the teams at the very bottom of the table. There is hardly any sign of the impressive success they achieved last year; in eight matches, they have managed only one win, alongside one draw and six defeats, leaving them in 17th place. With a total of 34 matches to be played in the league, their chances are diminishing by the day. I certainly did not expect such a poor level of play from them this season. It seems that, much like the race at the top, the battle at the bottom of the league will also be quite intense this year.

the council that decides the international referees is well managed in my opinion and one of the leaders of the association seems to me to be Hill, correct me if I'm wrong, someone who really knows what he's doing, I think they have made all the best considerations and I think they will have thought about putting a foreign referee

I think we are highlighting the fact of corruption too much, unfortunately there have always been bad apples and we can't do anything about it, what we should do in such sensational cases is to put many things aside and decide for the common good of the companies that participate and put money in to participate

More teams are beginning to show more intensity in the Turkish league now. Amedspor happens to be the most surprising team in the Turkish league at 2nd place, and this is actually their first season in the Turkish league. They are two points behind Galatasaray and a point ahead of Fenerbahçe, that's a good start for the just promoted Champions.

Wouldn't it be surprising that they qualify for the UEFA Champions league next season ahead of Besiktas and Fenerbahçe?

This year's league table is really interesting; the battle for the top spots will become even more exciting towards the end of the season, especially after the developments regarding the referees. It might become more difficult for Galatasaray to gain points, and other teams could pull ahead.

There will be elections in Türkiye next year, so I wouldn't be surprised if Amedspor continues to be among the top teams in the league. Everything here is political; unfortunately, the quality of football means nothing to anyone. Otherwise, Beşiktaş would have been champions for years, but they haven't had a chance for a long time

After two matches Amedspor will face Galatasaray and I’ll see whether they could be the  serious obstacle for teams traditionally associated with the top of the Turkish league or their current success is just the fluke. That said, I was also very surprised to see them at the top of the table. I’d never paid attention to Amedspor before but don't believe they will be ahead of Besiktas and Fenerbahçe .

Alanyaspor suffered its second consecutive loss. They conceded 2 goals in the first half against Kocaelispor. Although they applied pressure in the second half, they were unable to turn the game around. This loss of points was completely unexpected. They wanted to stay in the upper place in the table.
Joao Pereira sent out the wrong lineup. He made 3 substitutions at half time and the team began to play much better. If Alanyaspor had started the game with the right lineup, they would have won this match.

There is one thing about football that is very certain, a particular club will not pick up from the initial stages of the season like you said but as season continues proceeding forward that how players will get to understand each others and more spacially when there is some new sign players into the club, so the same thing is applicable to Trabzonspor club, so seeing Trabzonspor being able of beat the two best teams, it means that if they should continue with this information they are right now, they can be able to lift turkish super League trophy this season.

There’s a derby this week, but for some reason there’s no hype. Maybe it’s because the game is on Monday. People might have other plans for the weekend. Both teams will go into the derby well rested after their European matches.
Galatasaray won 3-0 last season. They went on to win the championship by a 3 point margin at the end of the season. If Fenerbahçe had won that match, they would have been the champions. That’s how important derbies are.
Back then, Tedesco was in charge of the team. Now it’s İsmail Kartal. While Fenerbahçe keeps changing managers, Okan Buruk is successfully continuing into his 5th year. If there’s a favorite in this derby, it’s Galatasaray.

Galatasaray has always been the favourites whenever they meet with Fenerbahçe but do you really think that will be the case in this derby match? I don't think so but it will be a hard fought match between both teams. Monday matches are kinda boring but I hope both teams will play a lively game and score some good goals too.

Fenerbahçe has scored more goals and conceded less goals than Galatasaray, and for the fact that the bookies gave Galatasaray 2.20 odds even when they're playing from home shows that there will be a problem for them so Fenerbahçe can still retaliate the last season defeat by winning them. Fenerbahçe has changed their coach and i think the coach they have now is capable of bringing the best out of the team.

[l99l]

Kocaelispor are in a really good position right now. They beat Alanyaspor today and are sitting sixth in the league.
The best thing about Kocaelispor is that they are showing they can be much more than a team simply trying to survive in the league. They are doing a lot of positive things and currently look like a competitive team in the Super Lig. They are also making their fans very happy with their performances.

[Audrey Simmons]

More teams are beginning to show more intensity in the Turkish league now.

In the league and away, Besiktas played Crystal Palace in the Europa League, it was an amazing match to watch. Besiktas was the big team in that match against a Premier League club, the intensity from Turkish teams in recent seasons is very mind-blowing. The game ended in a draw, but that was a good result.

It will be a tough season for Galatasaray, the competition is getting stronger. A match to talk about, Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce.
