Bull fans cannot be denied consistency
Red Bull Salzburg narrowly won the Bundesliga opener against GAK 3:2. The decisive goal was scored after a tip-off from the video assistant referee. The fans of the city of Mozart demonize this, as "Krone" editor Christoph Nister notes in his column.
It is not without a certain irony that Salzburg's fans unfurled a banner reading "Abolish video refereeing" seconds before the 3:2 goal against GAK. It was this of all things that gave the visitors the penalty that Karim Konate converted to win 3:2 in Graz.
To be fair, it has to be said that this makes absolutely no difference to the Bulls supporters - and many fans of other teams. They are against the video assistant referee as a matter of principle.
Coach Pep Lijnders sees things a little differently. He agrees that the process could be better, i.e. faster. But: "The game has to be honest. The more honest it is, the better. You have to earn the win." The handball by GAK player Benjamin Rosenberger was punishable, so the penalty was okay. Even if the Bulls fans didn't want it that way.
