Shirokov hits. Judge

There was more public violence in general - it echoing it on the football field

Before the very lines of the “exploits” of Judge Vasily Kazartsev had time to leave the first lines in the match “Spartak”-“Sochi”, how she was interrupted by another football news-the ex-captain of the Russian national team Roman Shirokov right during the amateur teams was beaten by Judge Nikita Danchenkov. It is difficult to name this with a fight - the judge fell immediately after the blow in the face, the partners of Shirokov did not finish, including another famous football player and coach, the favorite of Spartak and the Wings of the Soviets, Andrei Tikhonov.

The piquancy of the situation was given by both represented the team of the main and only sports channel of the country of Match TV, where the defendants act as football experts. In particular, Roman Shirokov was supposed to survey the next round of the Champions League on Tuesday. Now, it seems, we will not see the expert Shirokov on TV for a long time if we see at all.

The reason for the incident was that the judge, according to Shirokov, did not appoint an obvious penalty for the demolition of a football player who spent 56 matches for the Russian national team. The judge reached out for the red-normative vocabulary of the Red Card to the Babyov’s replica, Tikhonov tried to explain himself with Nikita and extinguish the conflict, but the card was still shown, and Roman Shirokov carried out what he promised-he cut it not childishly, with all his heart. The match was stopped, the doctors were called, Danchenkova was sent to the hospital that they needed to be sewn there, the beatings were removed,

The case is most likely administrative.

At the same time, for some reason, they want to remove Tikhonov with the broadcast from broadcasts, but this is already at the discretion of the editorial office of Match TV. With experts at the “match”, it’s not densely, for all his slightly snobberry manner, it was not the worst to answer questions, but after such a blow to the reputation, to pretend that there was nothing, it would not work. The amateur tournament was called the "Moscow City Cup", many media persons participated in it, the matches were highlighted widely, and even on the air, so the episode with such a peculiar punishment of the arbitrator was seen not only at the stadium. Otherwise, they would not have noticed.

Throughout the history of domestic sports, there was no case that one of the violators receives a real sentence of punishment for illegal actions on football or hockey fields. The threats were brought to criminal liability, and repeated. But to attract at least under the article “Minor Hooliganism” did not succeed in any of the immediate participants. Maybe also because the showdown did not happen under the aim of television and video cameras, but now every step is in sight. In this particular case, the bloody disassembly also with the participation of the team of the sports channel.

The violence, which is not shy about publicity, has become more. Moreover, violence arising from almost boring. It is clear that the causes of a particular case do not come down to discontent by some decision of the judge-it was not the World Cup that was played out at this amateur tournament, the occasion can be considered insignificant. I have no sociological data in my hands, but

The feeling that society is in the irritated, and this is mildly said, there is certainly a state.

Irritating factors, including coronavirus, socio-economic, and political problems are not in last place. Echo, they may respond with such wild antics, and even on the football field.

I am not at all trying to justify Roman Shirokov, who, in his apology for the unseemly act committed by him, did not fail to note that the penalty was obvious. But, as the defendant himself noted, and the not -appointed penalty, and the red card shown after the verbal skirmish “cannot be the reason for waving hands”. He swung successfully, which can not be said about Nikita Danchenkov’s hot hand.

How Vladimir Vysotsky sang on behalf of an unlucky boxer, "I simply cannot beat a man in the face." And now it is simple, even commonplace. The opponent of Match TV, by the way, was a team called “Nothing ordinary”. This is probably just a coincidence.
