Partizan 1:1 Vojvodina
There are 2 aspects from which we can look on this blunder. On the sports side, we were below every minimum and we played badly from the first minute . We deserved to lose points. We were extremely nervous from the first minute and it seemed like we just cannot cope with the pressure. On the other side, Vojvodina was very motivated just like I expected, and even though they had a player less from the very beginning almost, it wasn't seen on the field at all. They outplayed us in the first half, we had too many technical mistakes, and didn't shoot on the goal at all. In the second half we had a period of good play and that lasted for about 10 minutes, which is when we scored. And instead of scoring another goal and saving the result, we retreated and started acting like flies with no head. In the last 10 minutes we looked like what we wanted to conceive a goal. And then in 91st minute, totally unexpected, a referee gives a gift penalty that didn't exist for Vojvodina, as the foul did exist but it was on some 18 meters from the goal. And thus we conceive a goal from a non-existing penalty, a penalty that can easily solve the champions race.
And this aspect is actually far more worrisome. This is a 7th match that we played, and in 6 of them, the judges were "accidentally" making catastrophic mistakes, and all of them directly to damage us. In Novi Pazar we lost points when a regular goal that we scored was disallowed, and now from a non-existing penalty. Mistakes in judging are natural when it comes to soccer, but this is something else entirely, as this is a clear tendention, no doubt about that. It is enough to look at how we are massacred by the referees on every single match, and our eternal rival has the privilege that the rival defenders stand still and wait for them to score, red cards for their rivals are falling like raindrops.....and I just get an impression that the referee will put the ball in the net of Zvezda's rival with his own hands.
Sadly, it is obviously decided on the higher levels that we musn't be champions this year, and they basically showed that to us in the match against Vojvodina. But we will fight until the very end and our spite they cannot remove. The match against Javor to psychologically raise after this.
