Bernhard Trares was beside himself.

“That doesn't make sense anymore.

I feel like I'm wrong here.

If that's a penalty, it's no longer my time.

Then we can play table tennis ”, said the angry coach of the second division Würzburger Kickers after the unfortunate 0: 1 (0: 0) defeat at Holstein Kiel on TV broadcaster Sky.

Alexander Mühling took the chance from the point and kept Holstein in the top group of the second division.

Würzburg remains last and once again complained about a blatantly wrong decision.

Because, like last weekend at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, a controversial penalty kick brought the Kickers by at least one point on Friday evening at Holstein Kiel.

Video assistant Martin Petersen checked the intervention of Kickers keeper Hendrik Bonmann, which referee Thorben Siewers saw as a foul.

It stayed with the penalty, which looked like a pretty bad decision.

In the morning the bad news came for Petersen

The German Football Association (DFB) already admitted in the evening that it was one.

“The goalkeeper's action is actually typical of football and ball-oriented, especially since he also plays the ball.

Therefore, the SR's perception that the TW has fouled is not correct, ”said the DFB referee's Twitter account.

In this case, there should have been a recommendation to view the pictures and a withdrawal of the penalty kick.

The day after, however, the case drew wider circles.

According to information from "Bild", 35-year-old Petersen was temporarily removed from the game of Bremen against Freiburg on this Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m., in the sports ticker of WELT) as a video referee.

According to information from the newspaper, Petersen is said to have continued to defend his opinion of the "penalty kick" against the referee bosses even after the final whistle and after seeing the scene several times.

According to the report, a person in charge of the DFB Petersen called early Saturday morning and told him that he could leave Cologne because he would not be used in the Bremen game against Freiburg.

Marco Fritz, who was immediately ordered to the video cellar in Cologne, now steps in as a replacement.

Bitter for Petersen: Because the DFB had already published its schedule on the homepage, the cancellation could no longer be carried out quietly, but is now also a topic of conversation in the industry.

Würzburg's goalkeeper Bonmann was already unlucky on the last match day in Fürth (1: 4) when he allegedly fouled Jamie Leweling at the score of 1: 2, which was also very controversial.

"We got shit last week," said the goalkeeper.

“There were no pictures where I play foul,” said Bonmann of the scene with Leweling, which in retrospect was consistently referred to as a swallow.

The VAR also checked the game, but in this case the penalty was still there.

Coach Trares was already foaming with anger.

Kickers sports director Sebastian Schuppan no longer believes in coincidence in this context.

"If you get two such decisions against you in one week, then you don't believe in anything anymore." The Würzburgers felt "like doormats".

Last season in the third division, where there were no video assistants - there would not have been so many controversial scenes.

"And if

things

go on like this now, then we can

crush

that

(with the video assistant, the editorial team)
