A very lengthy episode is on tap for this week’s Turkish Football Weekly. But considering the two headlines that made the rounds not only within Turkey but beyond Turkey’s borders, it will be worth the time. Week 5 results of the Turkish Super League get reviewed, and the week 6 schedule is discussed. The Besiktas-Galatasaray match from week 5 gets reviewed in its own segment, as the hosts look into the derby which featured good football, but a lot of fans wanting to “get involved” to put it mildly. Also, the subsequent sanctions handed out by the TFF’s Professional Football Disciplinary Committee, mostly against Besiktas, are reviewed. While that would have taken a good chunk of an episode by itself, Galatasaray countered with its own headline making move. The hosts discuss Galatasaray’s sacking of manager Fatih Terim, and whether it was shocking or perhaps to be expected.
