Christakis Skapoullis commented on the two fouls that brought AEL's goals in the derby with Anorthosis in a duly diplomatic way on RIK's show “Gol kai Theama”.
For the first, he stated that it was given incorrectly, but he justified the referee, while for the second he stressed that it was also an easy whistle, but ρε the ref cannot be blamed because he did not know that it would be a nice combination and a goal would be scored!
Read what Scapoullis said…
“In this game to emphasize that the playing time would be around 40 minutes. In them he whistled 31 fouls. As a result, the game did not continue. A whistle sounded every minute. In two of these whistles, goals were scored. When he whistled them he did not know that goals would be scored.
Here (s.s. in the first goal), I see that the AEL player makes some contact from behind, but he stands, finds his feet, moves forward, presses the ball and lies down. The referee decided, we can not blame him but if he let it continue it would be okay. I think it was a foul. The referee is human, in a gang of seven or eight players he can see a contact here, one there, give a foul.
With his left foot (s.s. second goal) the defender comes in contact with the AEL player and falls down. He fell. It was an easy whistle too. You can not blame the referee who gave a violation but he knew that AEL will make a comeback and this goal will be beautiful? He saw contact, he gave it “.
