Grün-Weiß Siebenbaumen are currently missing two referees to meet the requirements of the SHFV. Now the Oberliga climber may be threatened with deduction of points.

Lübeck/Siebenbaumen. In the 2020/21 season, the Schleswig-Holstein Football Association suspended point deductions due to a lack of referees. At that time, the executive committee decided to change the rules of the game with regard to the sanctions according to paragraph 9, whereby fines remained unaffected. Now the topic seems to be coming back to the clubs.

Seven trees with two referees not enough
“Point deductions have never been removed from the statutes, which the clubs should actually be aware of. However, I do not know how attentively the clubs have recently dealt with the topic. I don’t want to hide the fact that this has slipped into the background for many,” says Dirk Schröder, the new chairman of the SHFV game committee. The first letters are out. For example, Oberliga newcomer Grün-Weiß Siebenbaumen received mail from the Lauenburg district football association. “Yes, we have two referees too few,” confirmed chairman Marco Kalcher when asked. However, those responsible for GWS are a bit irritated because there were no point deductions before the past 2021/22 season. According to LN information, the clubs had to pay a fine.
Many open questions on the part of the association
“We consulted the SHFV and asked for support. There they could not tell us on what basis the points will be deducted again. Is there a new decision? Has the paragraph been changed again? Where is that in the statute? It would have been nice if the clubs had been informed in the spring, for example, that point deductions would apply again,” Kalcher continued. “There is also the question of to what extent the Corona period, i.e. the last two years, will be counted. What level of sanctions are we at?”

Six points deduction threaten
The LN asked Klaus Schneider, Schröder’s longtime predecessor. “The questions are all legitimate. We really have to deal with the issue internally.” Siebenbaumen is threatened with the deduction of minus six points. “What a big mortgage would be,” says coach Gerd Dreller. The association can lodge an objection with the SHFV committee for statutes and law until next Wednesday. “Regardless of that, I think that the SHFV does not handle the whole procedure well in general. Other associations nationwide regulate the issue completely differently by only charging fines.”
Difficult conditions due to the corona pandemic
Kalcher reiterates that it is very difficult, especially for village clubs, to generate new referees. “Even if we were to win over a young referee, what do we do if he doesn’t have a car but is used for a game in Mölln, for example. The problem is that there is no direct bus connection. In cities like Lübeck this is not a problem. Of course, we knew about the situation, but we had no opportunity to train referees during the corona pandemic. As a climber, that’s a board of course.”
Yilmaz Caglar swears troops
What is certain is that the team was informed as a precaution that points would be deducted. “Actually, we wanted to tackle the Oberliga in a sporty manner,” says Dreller. Goalkeeper Yilmaz Caglar has, however, sworn in the squad. The veteran knows the situation, once had to accept the mortgage of minus nine points with VfR Neumünster. “If that’s the case, we’ll have to live with it,” says Dreller.
