The reigning Super Lig champions feel they were let down by the referee in the 1-1 draw against Konyaspor in the league last week.
The replays showed that the referee made a mistake in awarding Konyaspor a penalty which resulted in Serdar Aziz being sent off. The match official refused to look at VAR which would most likely have overruled the call.
Yellow-Reds fans have developed a siege mentality as a result with club officials and fan groups complaining that match officials and the authorities are singling them out.
