RFS cut out Majic’s controversial statement regarding Osipenko’s gesture.

RFSC cut out Majic’s controversial response regarding Osipenko’s gesture. RFSC also cut out Majic’s words regarding the incident involving Osipenko’s reaction to Costa’s provocation. The head of the referees’ department was directly asked by Match TV about this incident during the broadcast. In response to Costa’s provocation, the Russian referee gestured with his hands, showing his groin area, and said some offensive words. Majic said that neither one of their actions deserved attention. However, RFSC demanded that the broadcaster cut out this excerpt from the broadcast, citing that this topic falls under the jurisdiction of the Referees’ Committee, which is Majic’s responsibility. According to the original agreement with the channel, RFSC retained the right to make adjustments to the programs involving Majic. The programs featuring Majic are recorded, not broadcast live. So, it’s possible that this happened during the first half of the match, when Costa started to provoke the defender. The referee didn’t respond to the emotional outburst, but after the match, the controversy became public knowledge. Now, the issue will be resolved strictly according to the rules, without any public comments from the referees. This stance of the league’s management emphasizes strict control over media coverage related to refereeing decisions.
