Referee in Lower Bavaria: Murder threats after B-youth game!

A shocking drama in the Football Circle of Lower Bavaria Ost! After a B-youth game between SV Beutelsbach and SVG Ruhstorf in the Passau district, the referee received murder threats that caused horror. According to the Passau referee group, this incident is without an example and is being sentenced to the sharpest. "Something like this has a completely new quality. It was inconceivable that this is possible for us. Just sad and terrifying," said Passau's referee chairman Simon Leebmann.

What led to this terrifying incident? On Sunday morning there was an exciting duel that ended with a 3: 3. But after the game, the referee, an impartial from Simbach, received several anonymous threats. These calls recorded on his answering machine were anything but harmless. In a message he was killed with the words "dirty referee man. Is killed, this bastard! Tschüss!" threatened. Further calls confirmed the threats and caused fear with him and his family. The referee immediately filed a complaint and the police started the investigation.

identity of the perpetrator reveals

The situation quickly escalated when the perpetrator, who turned out to be a member of the SVG Ruhstorf, was identified. This resulted in the upcoming home game of the Ruhstorf B-Juniors against the JFG Passau Donautal. "These threats are intolerable and far exceeded the limits of the acceptable in our sports community," said Leebmann. The club reacted promptly and thus showed a clear attitude against violence and threats in football.

Leebmann praised the cooperation between the two clubs and emphasized the importance of respectful use of sport. "We thank the SVG Ruhstorf for their cooperative and respectful cooperation. The responsible persons of both clubs were very important to clarify the incident," he added. These frightening events should not only serve as a warning, but also to call for more respect for more respect. "The referee group Passau is fully behind its member and urges more respect for everyone involved in sport," said Leebmann. It is time that football remains a safe place for everyone!
