Official Club Statement

🇲🇹 Stqarrija tal-Klabb. Filmati tal-ewwel 45 minuta mill-logħba tal-GFA Trophy, Victoria Hotspurs FC vs Qala FC. L-episodji li qegħdin nuru ma jħallu l-ebda lok ta’ interpretazzjoni. L-arbitraġġ ma kienx għall-altezza f’numru ta’ okkazzjonijiet għad-detriment tal-Victoria Hotspurs FC. Dan huwa inaċċettabbli. Ir-reazzjoni qawwija minn naħa tal-istands għal tali arbitraġġ huwa għaldaqstant inevitabbli. Kull azzjoni għandha reazzjoni. Madanakollu l-Victoria Hotspurs FC jikkundannaw bla riservi l-aġir tal-persuna solitarja li tefgħet sigarett fid-direzzjoni tal-linesman u dana ġie milqut. Il-membri tal-Kumitat jappellaw lill-partitarji sabiex iġibu ruħhom sewwa waqt il-logħob tal-Hotspurs, irrispettivament mid-deċiżjonijiet li jkunu qed jittieħdu mir-referee jew mill-linesmen. Il-Bord ta’ Dixxiplina tal-klabb ser jieħu azzjoni kontra dawk il-persuni li jwettqu l-inkwiet matul il-logħbiet tal-Hotspurs. Il-Kumitat se jibqa’ viġilanti u jkompli joħroġ fid-dawl kull episodju – ġewwa jew barra mill-grawnd – li manifestament imorru kontra l-interessi tal-klabb. Il-klabb tagħna qatt mhu se jċedi għall-ebda aġenda moħbija ta’ xi ħadd.

🇬🇧 Club Statement – Footage from the first 45 mins of GFA Trophy match Victoria Hotspurs FC vs Qala FC. The highlighted episodes leave no space for interpretation. Refereeing was not up to scratch on a number of occasions to the detriment of Victoria Hotspurs FC. This is unacceptable. The vociferous reaction from the stands to such refereeing is hence inevitable. An action causes a reaction. Having said that, Victoria Hotspurs Football Club unreservedly condemns the behavior of the solitary person who threw a cigarette and hit the linesman. The Club Committee members appeal to its supporters to maintain restraint during Hotspurs games irrespective of the decisions being taken by the referee or the linesman. The Club’s Disciplinary Board will take action against the perpetrators of any wrongdoing they do during the games. The Committee will remain vigilant and continue bringing to light any episodes – inside or off the pitch – that manifestly go against the Club’s interests. Our Club will never succumb to anyone’s hidden agenda.
