Tolmin has seen better days… The newcomer in the 2nd SNL is currently enduring a series of really poor results. In the last five matches, they have lost five times, previously drawing three times, and have been without a win since the end of last October. 13th place in the standings and a battle for survival are the harsh reality of their modest achievements on the field, which in Tolmin they indirectly blamed on the referees.
The club is aware that referees cannot be solely blamed for their results, but despite that, they publicly highlighted some controversial events that have helped influence the overall outcome.
Statement for the public NK Tolmin:
Dear football enthusiasts!
In the Football Club Tolmin, we have decided that we need to alert the relevant authorities and the media to certain events related to refereeing in the 2nd SNL matches.
Firstly, let us say that the purpose of this publication is not to conceal our own mistakes and poorer performances in the second part of the season, and that we are aware that other clubs probably have a lot to say as well (even in some matches against NK Tolmin), and that making mistakes is human, but the amount of mistakes, or at least questionable decisions, indicate at least the incompetence of some referees, if not more.
The most recent event is the one at our last away game in Velenje, which the home team Rudar won with a score of 3-1. In the middle of the first half, the main referee Rađević got injured in this match (to whom we wish a speedy recovery), and one of the assistant referees took over as the main referee. The remaining part of the first half was played with only two referees. Before the second half, the officials obtained a new assistant referee, which we naturally welcome, but it was a referee from Velenje, a local, who in the 84th minute, despite being close to the action, did not signal a foul for a penalty in favor of Tolmin at 2-1 for Rudar. Immediately after this missed foul, Rudar launched a counterattack, scored to make it 3-1, and thus decided the match.
We can imagine what the reactions of the clubs and the media would be if, for example, in the match between Olimpija and Maribor, a Ljubljana or Maribor resident was appointed as the assistant referee, and such a situation occurred in the match…
We also attach footage of penalties that the referees awarded in the previous match against Bilje (which Bilje won precisely with these two goals), a penalty awarded against Tolmin in the autumn against Dekani (the match ended 2-2), and also a penalty not awarded against Grosuplje in the referee’s added time with the score 1-0 for Grosuplje.
Certainly, we could get some more footage, as mentioned, our opponents could probably get some in some matches as well, but at least there have been too many questionable decisions against Tolmin recently. Just such decisions can decide which clubs will compete in this league next season, given the exceptional closeness of the bottom of the 2nd SNL standings.
Once again, we do not want to underestimate the achievements of other teams and look for excuses for our own poorer performances, but in our opinion, there have been too many refereeing mistakes in the last three matches, and we want to alert the relevant authorities to at least consider this.
