It is the penalty Rosenborg received because the match against Lillestrøm could not be played to completion on 21 July. The supporters protested against video refereeing and threw fish cakes and tennis balls onto the pitch. And in the end, the referee decided to cancel the match. – I think it’s sad for football. We are also here because we want football to be played and the match to be played. That’s what judge Rohit Saggi told news. The match between Rosenborg and Lillestrøm was stopped after a VAR protest involving fishcakes, flares and tennis balls. The referee had enough of throwing fishcakes, flares and tennis balls onto the pitch and canceled the match when 30 minutes were on the clock. The Norwegian Football Association decided that the series match should be replayed, but as a punishment they must play the match in front of empty stands. The supporters must clean up the barracks The supporters who throw fishcakes and tennis balls onto the field in the match against Lillestrøm are sanctioned by Rosenborg. RBK punishes the supporters involved in the VAR protests: They must help refurbish Rosenborg’s Brakka clubhouse. The assignment includes scraping down, washing and measuring Brakka. A job that is calculated to cost around NOK 400,000, the club itself writes on its own website. – This is a historic event in Norwegian football, and it affects the club’s choice of form of sanction, said Tore Berdal, daily manager at the club. The club wrote that individual supporters were very active in smuggling in tennis balls and distributing them in the stands. – The protest was not directed at the club, but there is no doubt that it is Rosenborg who is left with the consequences. The supporters involved have been given until 1 October to carry out the work. Published 21.08.2024, at 19.24 Updated 21.08.2024, at 20.19
