😅 Match in doubt: referee goes viral testing ball on awful pitch

A referee in Turkey went viral for conducting a test to see if the ball would roll on the field. He was just following the rules... But perhaps he was a bit too faithful to the regulations.

The stage for Kahramanmaras İstiklalspor vs. 1461 Trabzon, in the Turkish second division, had an ABSURD amount of snow. The images are downright hilarious:

According to TRT Spor, a Turkish channel, the snow was about 40cm deep.

And, as expected, the field was not in playable condition, and Kahramanmaras İstiklalspor vs. 1461 Trabzon had to be postponed.
