Kohr: Bayern referee was "clearly wearing a Bayern jersey"
Referee's Bayern bias
Eintracht Frankfurt's Sebastian Kohr has accused referee Tobias Stieler of bias towards Bayern Munich, claiming that the official was "clearly wearing a Bayern jersey" during their Bundesliga match on Saturday.
Kohr's comments came after Bayern were awarded a controversial penalty in the first half of the match, which they went on to win 1-0. The penalty was given for a foul on Robert Lewandowski by Evan Ndicka, but Kohr believes that the decision was incorrect.
"The referee was clearly wearing a Bayern jersey," Kohr said after the match. "It was obvious that he was biased towards them. The penalty was a joke."
Stieler denies bias
Stieler has denied Kohr's accusations, saying that he made the decision to award the penalty based on the laws of the game.
"I understand that Kohr is disappointed with the decision, but I can assure him that I was not biased towards Bayern Munich," Stieler said.
"I made the decision based on the laws of the game, and I believe that it was the correct decision."
Kohr's accusations spark debate
Kohr's accusations have sparked a debate about the role of referees in football.
Some people believe that referees are too often biased towards certain teams, while others believe that they are simply trying to do their best in a difficult job.
It is important to remember that referees are human beings, and they can make mistakes. However, it is also important to hold them accountable for their decisions.
Conclusion
The debate about referee bias is likely to continue for many years to come. In the meantime, it is important for fans to respect the decisions of referees, even if they do not agree with them.
