TFF Awards Bursaspor Win Following Diyarbakırspor Match

Turkcell Super Lig  •  Author: Nathan Redd   •   Wednesday, March 17, 2010 Picture

The Turkcell Süper Lig has a new leader, and that leader is Bursaspor.  The Green Crocs now sit atop the table after a decision from the Turkish Football Federation Tuesday.  The TFF have awarded Bursa a 3-0 victory following their cancelled match in week 24 against Diyarbakırspor, and the three points have boosted them to the top of the standings.

Bursaspor now sit atop the Turkcell Süper Lig table with less than ten weeks remaining in the season.  The Green Crocs were awarded three points as a result of their controversial match in week 24 against Diyarbakırspor.  The match was called off for fan violence - the first of two matches involving Diyarbakırspor that was cancelled recently.  Their outing against İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor was called off in the 87th minute last weekend after fans rushed the pitch and threw objects onto the playing surface.

The Turkish Football Federation Executive Committee ruled Tuesday that Bursaspor would be awarded a 3-0 victory and three points as a result of the Diyarbakırspor match.  That ruling now gives Bursa 55 points and moves them two points ahead of Galatasaray in the table. 

The Green Crocs have never won the Turkcell Süper Lig title.  If they can maintain their lead, they would be just the fifth different team in Turkish football history to lift the league trophy.

Here's how the Turkcell Süper Lig standings look following TFF's decision:

As expected. We're now two games behind a TIE with the leaders. We need to get our s**t together and hope the 3 teams above us have colossal fails like we did in Feb.
