Fans of Lokomotiv ( Sofia) staged an unprecedented act which seriously impacts on their own team in the name of fair play in Bulgarian football. Fans of Lokomotiv asked the Committee on ethics and fairplay for the last league match of the round between Slavia and Lokomotiv ( 2-0 ) . Here's what fans write in relation to this and other matches of the club :
To the Committee on Ethics and Fair Play to BFU Lokomotiv ( Sofia) was a club that played legends like Nicolas Kotkov , Nachko Mikhailov and much more from the generation of Stoyu Nedialkov in spiro Debar and Stoycho Stoev , etc. etc. - Stars showed not only their football skills but also their sportsmanship and attitude towards football. Lokomotiv was a club that is famous with intransigence , fighting , beautiful play and brings pleasure football club, nice and supporters of other teams . Our Lokomotiv was such a club 20 years ago ... Lokomotiv is no longer that same club, but " match " against Slavia that day became a full joke. And before we saved teams from relegation - Chernomorets, and Cherno more and Lokomotiv Plovdiv, and miner , and many many others. And before we helped other teams to championships and tournaments. And we needed a "help" last year to keep our place in Group A , and we received it . But the games with Slavia in recent years surpassed everything ... Three seasons in the last round Slavia did not try to stop us to qualify for Europe tournaments. In the next championship Lokomotiv logically gave no resistance in the first game and in the second forfeit . Last spring we needed points to stay in the fight and on the eve of the centennial glory not try to win in the Municipality. This autumn Slavia took six points from the two league " matches " while Lokomotiv continued for the cup ... Now Slavia had a greater need of points after a month the result will depend on the rankings then ... way passed the " game " on Monday surpassed any theater at this sight all over Bulgaria in live on TV. Obvious reluctance of players to play in such a spectacle . Displaying passes - passes out of pitch , counterattacks to our own half , defenders, ordered as slalom poles . Visible disgust of some players from participating , clearing the yellow card records of key players for next games , unexpected injuries , unfinished at the meeting with pointless red card ... Although the owners of the two clubs are in the Executive Committee of the BFU and thus the hierarchy are Commission on ethics and Fair Play , although the chairman of the commission is a "friend " of both clubs , though we hope and urge this committee and all relevant authorities to take measures against these parodies , to whatever cause it .
