Yesterday's statement, made by the press service of the Football Federation of Ukraine on the failed contract between FC "Arsenal" (Kyiv) with Valery Fedorchuk, has been commented by the president of FC Arsenal (Kyiv) Vadym RABINOVYCH:

You know, I stop to be surprised by many things ... and by such statements, too. Specifically, I would like to say the following. First of all. Concerning the history of Valery Fedorchuk. We acted in this situation, unfortunately, having listened to the advices and recommendations of Federation staff. And as always got ... well, to put it mildly, not in the right place! I will never do such a big mistake again - and I will not appeal to the so-called of experts from the Federation, who, excuse me, look at us with bull’s eyes and say: "Who are you?" We do not remember you!" ..

Secondly. Application form of the press service of the Federation - what can I say: it corresponds to the content! ..

Thirdly. I really wanted to hear from the Federation of something about the problems of judging. Unfortunately, I did not heard anything except empty talks.

I want to emphasize one more point: I firmly believe that the appointment of referee of Volodymyr Syrenko, who sued the match of FC Arsenal (Kyiv) in Transcarpathia on August 29, did not take pure goal into account, unfairly removed our goalkeeper and appointed a non-existent penalty, received a poor for judging the match, is at the match of Ukrainian Cup Shakhtar - Dynamo like an extreme point, beyond which is nowhere to go! Appointment of Syrenko is a manifestation of absolute cynicism, denial of any rules of "fair play"! Perhaps, in such a situation already we may simply declare the results of any football game before the start! ..

I repeat one more time: referee Syrenko, who will lead in the Ukraine’s Cup the teams Shakhtar and Dynamo is a disgrace for Ukrainian football! ..
