Qadir Ali Bunyadi referees several grassroots football matches a week. Recently he experienced the nightmare in a senior match in lower divisions in Oslo. For a long time everything was as normal: – It was a very calm fight, really, he says to news. But towards the end of the match, Bunyadi was up with the red card. It didn’t go down well, he says. – All of a sudden a player came running up to me and grabbed my suit. He completely lost his head, says Bunyadi. The club distances itself from the situation – see the full response further down in the matter. REFEREEING A LOT: Football refereeing is Qadir Ali Bunyadi’s great hobby. – Struck with his fist The referee says that in horror he tried several times to explain to the player that he was just doing his job, and that he hoped it could be respected. – He didn’t listen to me … Then he punched me right in the chest. I fell to the ground, and lost everything I had of flute and everything. At the same time, several players came up to me and pushed me and protested. Bunyadi says that when he fell to the ground, the referee supervisor jumped onto the field and calmed the situation. It was decided that the match could not be completed. news has spoken to the referee supervisor, who confirms that an incident has been reported to the Oslo football circuit, but says that beyond that he does not have the opportunity to go into the details of what happened. – He cried news has also been in contact with the opposing team’s playing coach. He confirms that they have unsolicited sent a separate report on the incident to Oslo football circle. They have a slightly different description of the riots than the judge himself. They experienced that while one player was standing and discussing with the referee, another player entered the situation and took what they perceived as a stranglehold on the referee. A third player then came running at great speed and pushed the referee to the ground, the coach describes. – Everything happened very quickly. The judge was very overwhelmed and upset, and he cried. Spontaneous outbursts against referee decisions are one thing, but we can’t have it that way, he says. The coach adds that the coaching staff of the other team reacted quickly against their own players after the incident. The club takes a strong stand General manager of the Oslo football circle (NFF Oslo) Tore Jarl Bråteng confirms to news that they have received a notification after the match in question and that information and facts about the case are being collected. He points out that he has no opportunity to comment on the matter until the facts are on the table. The hearing deadline is at 12 Tuesday, says Bråteng.

However, we can confirm that there has been an incident that is not in line with the club’s values, and it is something we strongly distance ourselves from. Neither the club nor the circuit wants to disclose which player or players are said to have been involved in the situation. – An incredibly painful experience While awaiting further proceedings, Bunyadi is trying to process the experience. He admits he was shaken. – I really struggled to hold back my emotions, so it was right to end the match. I didn’t really understand anything, it was difficult for me to realize what had happened, he says when news meets him the day after the incident. – Immediately after the match, I spoke to my referee supervisor for approx. 20 minutes, but then I just had to get home. I couldn’t talk about it anymore, I needed time for myself, he says. Bunyadi, who usually works in a grocery store, also says that it was special to go to work the day after the incident. THOUGHTFUL: Qadir Ali Bunyadi found it difficult to go to work the day after he was attacked on the football pitch. Photo: Camilla Alexandra Lie / news – I felt that it was incredibly difficult to go there and pretend it was nothing. I’ve thought a lot over the past 24 hours about what happened. At the same time, I notice that work is important to me now, to forget what happened. If I’m just going to stay at home and think… I can’t do that, it will be too difficult for me, he says. – What consequences do you think this should have? – I think it should be punished, preferably with a ban. He who hit me must be sanctioned, otherwise the others around him will learn that this is okay. I have thought a lot about how things would develop if I were there all alone. That thought scares me, he admits. – All in all, it was just an incredibly painful experience. Football should be fun, we come to the pitch to have fun. This is something that happens, but it shouldn’t happen. So I am very sorry, says Qadir Ali Bunyadi.
