Conspiracy theory?

[rugs]

It's now being reported that the rumour that the Sepahan-Saipa match was tied came from the TS bench.

Apparently it is being investigated.

[Paradigm]

I have to see the highlights before I can say if the match result was influenced by the refereeing. But it does not happen very often that Ando gets a red card... I was checking the result online and when Tractor went ahead 3-1 at home, I thought it was going to be over. Of course Naft Tehran is a very capable team too, as we all know.

[ali alipour]

The only weird thing is that there doesn't seem to be any video of Ando's red card. It also wasn't shown live.

[sarbaz]

Ando is definitely at fault for his red card he should have known better
This guy is our TM captain with almost 100 international games

However I still blame the Oliviera and the tractor players for loosing their concentration after the red card

[sarbaz]

Also you tell me in this day n age of information they couldn't talk to someone in Esfahan to follow the end of that
Game to be sure what the final result was ?????????

well there is lot of news about how sepah was behind this to keep tabriz from exploding in case tractor wins the league

Teraktor Sazi is owned by Sepah. They are the most Sepahi team in Iran.

How is it that no tractor player was on his phone looking for live updates of scores? wtf actually!?! I was hoping sepahan would win but it makes no sense why the coach of tractor or there management would have lied to the players that a tie would be sufficient in those last 15 min.

Tractor is the most scum club in the entire league. Even though they have the most dedicated fans which I respect (except for the stupid separatists Turks who can rot in hell) but they have the most corrupt management which is mainly influenced by the Sepah which is also corrupt. Every thing run in TT is dirty. Either Naft or Sepahan deserved the title and I thought Naft played amazing today with or without Ando being tossed. All these teams should be lucky Zobahan had a slow start or they would have easily won the league with the form they displayed in the 2nd half. Either way, Sepahan is the true champions of Iran for 4 out of 6 years. They are one of few clubs (Naft, Zobahan, and Foolad being the others) that are run proper and clean football starting with outstanding youth academies and management.

I immediately had to think about the recent San Servan false tweet issue in Spanish amateur football. They tricked their opponent by announcing a wrong result on twitter, hence their competitor Valverdano took out their best striker and gave up a 1-0 lead, just to find out later the 1-1 wasn't enought as San Servan had comfortably won and got promoted instead. However, this was amateur football. Tractor was playing at home, Sepahan's game was on national tv, so if they had prepared, there would have been an easy way to figure out what the score is, and even if not, as said before it would be highly naive to think Sepahan would give up a 2-0 lead at home within 5 minutes.

Ando's red card was the real turning point and unfortunately it was neither shown live nor could I see the scene in any highlights yet.

That's why you always go for the win. TT had control of their destiny and they blew it away. Sorta like boxing where you control but once it is in the hands of judges, then anything can happen. Tractor should've had the mindset that Sepahan was going to win and that they should go all out for the win. The red card was the turning point but thats not an excuse for all the Lak mistakes on those corners.

See what you can make out of it here; the video's already been fast forwarded for your convenience:

From what I can see, Ando's second booking was rather unwarranted. Looked like a bit of a push and a verbal exchange of who knows what, but a seemingly uncalled for decision by ref.
Does anyone know around what time in the game he received the first yellow?

[unique football]

This is true BS how can an entire city of tabriz not know what the score of the esfahan game was? it was played on national tv for gods sakes the announcer kept referring to the scores up to the very last second, deal with Sepahan won fair and square its not our problem tabriz cant put one smart guy to check the livescores instead of sitting there eating pashmak.

He got his first yellow as soon as the first half whistle was blown , he kicked the ball with anger and high force outside the pitch which caused him his first yellow

And lol at the tractor excuse "we thought the other game was 2-2 so we took out a forward to replace him with a defender to hold the 3-3 tie". Hahaha, that's something you wanna do then you're leading 3-1, so your soorakh lak doesn't concede 2 goals.
