Arbitrariness? Lauenburg football association sanctioned Möllner SV

After increased hostility, threats and physical attacks against referees, the referee committee of the Lauenburg district football association decided not to have qualified referees at the weekend’s games with the participation of Möllner SV.

“Unfortunately Möllner SV has recently become a negative example. In addition to the insults and hostility that have apparently become normal, there are now physical attacks and the non-payment of expenses, ”explains Frank Pufahl from the referee committee. Appointments of any referees who step in contrary to the order will not be entered in the DFBnet and may be assessed and sanctioned as a violation of referee camaraderie, ”the committee said. “Should such incidents repeat themselves, the penalties will gradually become more severe,” it continues. And: “Our job is not to educate the players, officials and spectators – we just want to pursue our hobby and live it out with fun – just like most of you. Therefore, on our part, there is an urgent appeal to strictly sanction such incidents internally and not to tolerate them. “

Incident with internally banned player

Malte Henningsen, Heiko Schultze and Stefan Gast from the Möllner SV board regret that “as a club and board member football of the MSV one was not heard about the allegations The match report is written to the referee in civilian clothes and there is an incident. This incident is recorded in a referee’s report and is heard before the district court. Möllner SV condemns insults, insults and attacks of all kinds against referees. “

Referee not paid in cash

On the subject of donations, a written declaration made available to the LN states: “At a home game (evening game), the referee could not be paid the expenses in cash, as is common practice in the district. The SR was offered to transfer the money. Afterwards, the SR was of course paid the expense allowance. The clubhouse in Mölln on the forest sports ground is currently under renovation, so the kiosk is not occupied. The SR cash register was previously located there. We currently have a “mobile” cash register. The procedure basically works, unfortunately not that evening. On the basis of this accusation, we will have the responsible committees check whether a transfer of the expense money is permissible according to the arbitration rules. “

“Arbitrariness, lacks any legal basis”

The Möllner drives a passage in the mail to the association on the pinnacle: “The statement in the mail“ In addition to the apparently normal insults and hostility ”is a slap in the face of the voluntary Mölln referees and trainers. These allegations are not included in any Möllner SV match report. The referee committee accuses, negotiates and judges (collective penalty for all teams) in a previously unique way, without the accused club being heard. This is arbitrary and lacks any legal basis. The district court was also not involved in the decision to send out an email with this content. Dear referee committee, we are happy to follow your appeal from the mail: “Let us work together on better, non-violent and eye-to-eye communication and cooperation!” It is also our concern to strengthen and promote the work of the referees. “
