Bundesliga soccer team Hartberg is fighting for a place in the top six - but in the last three rounds, the team from Eastern Styria felt massively disadvantaged by the referees. The "Krone" gets to the bottom of the matter with referee columnist Rene Eisner.

Hartberg chairman Erich Korherr is actually a level-headed guy. Recently, however, the official's hat went up. In the eyes of TSV, the referees have played badly with the Styrians in the last three rounds. "It always feels like it's the same club - us in this case. That's really not normal anymore," said Korherr, wondering about the whistles and decisions after three recent draws (0-0 at Wattens, 1-1 against Klagenfurt, 0-0 in Altach).
