Last December 5th, the libero and the referee made peace.

Source says there a short “I AM SORRY” ceremony before the start of the match for both parties to kiss and make up.

Awwwwww….

Hope he will NEVER do it again!

Lessons learned.

So we’ve learned that the player who attacked the referee during a match has been SUSPENDED for only 2 matches and must pay a fine of USD$4,000.

That’s it?

Our source also provides more info about the fight:

“During the 4th set of game between Shahrdari Urmia and Saypa last Nov. 14th, Ahsanolah Shirkavand, Libero of Shahrdari Urmia, protested against the decision of the line judges. When referee showed him a yellow card, he pulled the referee’s leg and pulled him down from the stand. The game was postponed for about 10 minutes and referee showed him a red card.

Iran Volleyball Federation suspended Shirkavand while Disciplinary Committee is suspending him for 2 matches.”

The source also adds that Ahsanolah Shirkavand’s excuse was that he got carried away and was also getting stressed out. Therefore, he failed to control his emotions.

LAME EXCUSE!

A player like him MUST be PUNISHED!

We justreceived a very DISTURBING image of a libero attacking a referee during a club match in Iran.

It looks like the ref has made a questionable call, then the team captain starts  to argue and all of a sudden the libero aka the BIGGEST LOSER suddenly attacks the official by pulling him off the stand.

The pic below pretty much shows the sequence of this unpleasant incident:

Who is this player?

Can someone please tell us more about this incident?

Regardless of what the call was, the Iranian Federation better PUNISH him! What a terrible player!  It’s every athlete’s job to respect the call and the decisions of the officials.

Any thoughts to share?
