Karol Michalak

Karol Michalak wrote that the match was played in the style of Legia, which he accused of gaining an advantage off the field, and he assessed that the referee was the "12th player." He congratulated the opponents on their victory on the field, but stated that as an organization they lost, accusing them of a lack of class and fair competition skills. #sędziowanie (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that he did not want to evaluate the match in sporting terms because, in his opinion, it had little to do with sport. He emphasized the progress of Kuba Krzyżanowski, adding that he does not know the limits of his abilities, and the player is developing at an impressive pace. #sport #KubaKrzyżanowski #rozwój (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that serious refereeing errors can sometimes be explained by various circumstances, but he did not understand how, with 115 cameras, the referees could not award a penalty kick. He rejected such "football" in the Ekstraklasa. #Ekstraklasa #piłkanożna #VAR (translated)

Karol Michalak criticized the refereeing, pointing not only to the lack of a clear penalty but also to the absence of cards, calling fouls after clean tackles, and missed corner kicks and incorrectly awarded throw-ins. He described what happened before and during the match as disgusting and wrote that it made him feel sick. He added that it had nothing to do with football. #piłkanożna #sport #emocje (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that he was not surprised by coach Papszun's statement, whom he criticized for having no objections to secretly spying on the opponents' training sessions. He assessed that such behavior showed a lack of class and spirit of fair play. #sport #fairplay #trener (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that Legia asked the police if they could play matches without away fans, and they agreed. He emphasized that in his opinion, it did not resolve the issue of PZPN licensing regulations. The author distinguished this situation from those involving Radomiak, Górnik, and Wisła, where renovations were said to result from the owners' overarching decisions. He claimed that Legia closed the away section on September 28, citing non-existent police orders and ZZW. After these documents were questioned, the club most likely asked the police if they could play the match despite the renovations. Michalak pointed out that the PZPN could suspend Legia's license due to possible violations of licensing regulations. He added that although the Ekstraklasa organized the competitions, the license was issued by the PZPN, which had the right to intervene, but — as he predicted — probably would not do so. In the end, he criticized Legia Warsaw for seeking to play a match without fans and accused them of fighting for unequal competition. He wrote that the club had nothing to do with football and described its actions as pathetic. #LegiaWarszawa #Ekstraklasa #PZPN (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that for the past three years he has been fighting against the discrimination of Wisła Kraków fans. He claimed that he sent hundreds of letters to police departments, mayors, and presidents, corresponded with the Commissioner for Human Rights, UOKiK, and international organizations, and also prepared a 40-page study on the impact of boycotts on competition. He described that clubs from all over Poland treated him as a person of lower status, and he himself was insulted and humiliated. He wrote that despite this, he did not give up on his efforts to be able to watch matches. However, he added that the post and the approach of its author discouraged him from football. He described this person as, in a sense, the face of Canal+ and pointed out that the station has long been associated with the Ekstraklasa. After years of discrimination, he felt "spat upon." Michalak also wrote that Legia should not give up and should seek documents that would prevent people from watching football. He concluded his statement by saying that he no longer wants to be part of this environment, which — in his opinion — has nothing to do with the beauty of football. #piłkanożna #dyskryminacja #kibice (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that the club's silence did not mean resignation, and he wondered whether it was looking for documents that would allow it to avoid consequences for not admitting away fans. He added that he had had enough and accused Canal Plus of detachment from reality. #piłkaNożna #kibice #CanalPlus (translated)

Karol Michalak criticized the description he was responding to, claiming that each of its paragraphs contained "a load of nonsense." He used insulting terms towards people from all over Poland who — as he wrote — had made something up, accused PZPN of drinking alcohol instead of addressing the issue, and accused Legia of disregarding the regulations. He added that the description portrayed the club as if it were bravely fighting. #piłkaNożna #PZPN #LegiaWarszawa (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that his interlocutor either lied or consulted the wrong people. He noted that the League Commission can only punish the club after unjustifiably not allowing the visiting fans, but PZPN — in his opinion — has the tools to intervene before the match. He referred to points 4.3.6 and 6.1.2 of the PZPN Licensing Manual. As he pointed out, the Club Licensing Commission can suspend or revoke a license if the conditions for its issuance are no longer met or if the licensee violates obligations defined as criterion A. He added that licensing authorities can check compliance with the criteria at any time during the licensing season. Michalak stated that if Legia violated criterion A due to the lack of an efficient away sector, it could face consequences such as the suspension of its license. According to him, it would also be possible to order the match to be played with empty stands or to postpone the meeting. #PZPN #piłkaNożna #licencje (translated)

Karol Michalak criticized the post regarding the boycott of Wisła Kraków. He asked its author what specific problems the organized fan groups of Wisła had caused over the past 10 years and what the club was being boycotted for. Regarding the matches with Wisła, he pointed out that — according to police recommendations and regulations, as he wrote — fans should be allowed into the stadium. Michalak also questioned the characterization of the actions of some individuals as "self-cleaning," emphasizing that it concerned professional hooligans and criminals. He asked whether the author of the post portrayed Legia as both a party to the conflict and a victim, referring to the statement that the club's silence does not mean raising a white flag. As a solution to the problem, he indicated adherence to the regulations. He added that until now he had avoided direct criticism, but after this post, he felt the author had compromised himself. #WisłaKraków #kibice #sport (translated)

Karol Michalak referred to Tomasz Włodarczyk's comments on the Meczyki program, stating that on Sunday, there may be a lack of fans in the stands, and only later will it be revealed what penalty will be imposed on Legia. Michalak considered such a scenario realistic but questioned its logic. He wrote that if Legia is breaking the rules, and the PZPN knows about it, the reaction should occur before the match; if the club is not breaking the rules, there should be no penalty for the absence of fans. He compared this situation to the police passively observing a theft to the detriment of an elderly woman, and only taking action after a month. #LegiaWarszawa #kibice #PZPN (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that in his opinion Legia did not appreciate the struggle of the Wisła community against systemic discrimination, which it had been conducting for the past few years. He claimed that the actions of the clubs were being verified, mainly by Lysypokrakowska, and false information was being corrected. He added that Legia was not much different in this respect from clubs in lower leagues. He reminded that recently it was close to relegation and assessed that organizationally it presented first-league aspirations. As examples, Michalak mentioned situations concerning Wisła fans. He wrote that Motor Lublin justified its decision with safety concerns, although in the justification it described the behaviors of Górnik Łęczna. In the case of Górnik Łęczna, the club referred, according to him, to a decision by the mayor, who allegedly denied having made it and stated that he did not see a problem. Michalak also stated that GKS Tychy explained its decision by renovation and mourning for the death of the pope, but after a delegate's visit, they were ordered to play the match. Chrobry was said to have referred to a police opinion, which — as the author reported — declared to ensure safety. Kotwica Kołobrzeg also indicated a police opinion, but it supposedly communicated that the club did not ask for it and issued none. Miedź did not consult the police for an opinion, and the police were said to have concluded that Wisła fans should be let in. Regarding Stal Stalowa Wola, Michalak wrote that the club referred to the position of the police, which denied having issued a recommendation. Stal Rzeszów allegedly spoke of a police opinion, although it did not evaluate the ban. Wisła Płock justified its decision with safety concerns, but the police reportedly conveyed that the club did not ask for their opinion. Śląsk referred to talks with the police, which publicly denied the information provided. The author also reminded that GKS Tychy justified another decision with a breakdown after a downpour, even though in the meantime they played a home match. Pogoń Siedlce pointed to a turnstile malfunction, and Wisła was said to have proposed a self-repair; later the reason was changed to safety concerns. The police were said to have assured that they would guarantee safety. Arka referred to renovations coinciding with the match against Wisła, despite a 75-day break between competitions. Stal Mielec justified its decision with renovation, and the city reportedly assured it would be completed before the match, after which the decision was changed. Michalak summarized that Wisła fans were collectively denied entry to matches 31 times and wrote that Legia found itself in this group. #Wisła #Legia #dyskryminacja (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that the takeover of power in Wisła Kraków by the fans and their use of equipment was considered an extreme pathology. He stated that if organized crime groups had any influence on Legia Warsaw, and the PZPN, Ekstraklasa, and Canal Plus did not react decisively, it would be a scandal of enormous proportions. He left the readers to assess whether such influence existed. #kibole #WisłaKraków #LegiaWarszawa (translated)

Karol Michalak assessed that Legia Warsaw has compromised and disgraced itself, despite being the largest club in Poland. He wrote that the club appeared to him as either an organization subject to the influence of criminal fan environments or managed catastrophically. He warned that if the PZPN and Ekstraklasa succumb to what he described as a farce, it will be pointless to pretend that serious football is being attempted in Poland. He called the whole situation a shocking scandal. #LegiaWarszawa #Ekstraklasa #futbol (translated)

Cezary Kukesza rok temu w rozmowie z @sport_tvppl informował, że jeśli Jaga nie przyjmie kibiców Wisły (remont:), to klubowi należy cofnąć licencję. Ktoś mi wyjaśni, czym się sytuacja z Legią różni? Pozdrawiam wyśmiewanych moją opinię odnośnie zabrania Legii licencji. #Ekstraklasa #PiłkaNożna #Kibice

@MateuszMiga @LegiaWarszawa Pozostaje zadać pytanie, kto zgłosił się do Zarządu Zieleni, aby ten oficjalnie wezwał Legię do rozwiązania sprawy. Bo chyba nie jest przypadkiem, że od 2017 sprawa jest nierozwiązana i NAGLE przed meczem z Wisłą obudził się Zarząd Zieleni. Szanujmy własną inteligencję. #LegiaWarszawa #ZarządZieleni #piłkaNożna

Najbardziej dołująca w całej sytuacji z Legią jest świadomość, jak głęboko w d*pie jesteśmy jako środowisko piłkarskie. Dziennikarze, PZPN, Ekstraklasa, kibice, sponsorzy - nikogo nie rusza ta sytuacja. Ot, nie wpuszczą kibiców, o co afera? Legia Warszawa, czyli największy klub w Polsce. Lider tabeli wszechczasów. Najwięcej kibiców, największe przychody, klub-ikona. W sercu stolicy kraju, który aspiruje do europejskiej czołówki. I z zewnątrz widzę tylko dwa potencjalne wytłumaczenia tego, co się dzieje: 1. Formalne powody są wymyślonym pretekstem, a decyzja jest de facto ustępstwem wobec "najbardziej zagorzałej" części trybun, której nie podobają się kibice gości. Niezależnie od tego, czy z wygody, czy z obawy przed konfliktem, warszawski gigant wsłuchuje się w głos "kibiców". 2. Remont jest realny i klub wprost przyznaje, że bezpodstawnie korzysta z majątku miejskiego, ma nie do końca sprawne kamery na stadionie i stare siatki na trybunach. Jednocześnie nie jest w stanie w ciągu całego miesiąca rozwiązać tych drobnych spraw. Nie zrobił też tego przed sezonem. 290 mln zł przychodu, chęć gry w Europie. I nie potrafi. Nie wiem szczerze mówiąc, która opcja jest bardziej kompromitująca. Wiem natomiast, że jest to smutny dzień dla polskiego futbolu. I nie chodzi nawet o to, co zrobiła Legia - chodzi o całkowity brak reakcji i akceptację futbolowej społeczności. Akceptację potencjalnych wpływów kiboli, niechlujstwa, braku profesjonalizmu, nieprzestrzegania przepisów i braku konsekwencji za ich łamanie. Akceptację coraz głębszego zanurzania się w tym szambie. Czyli zwykły dzień w polskiej piłce nożnej. #LegiaWarszawa #polskiepiłkanożna #futbol

Tak na spokojnie, bo to pismo zawiera kilka ciekawych kwiatków. 1. "Nie ma możliwości zapewnienia korzystania z sektora gości w sposób odpowiadający wymaganym standardom". Prosta logika: albo problem jest nowy, albo standardy wcześniej nie były spełnione. Która wersja? Jeśli nowy, jest jakiś protokół zniszczeń po meczu Legii z Widzewem? Jeśli zaś stary, to czy Legia przyjmowała gości na niesprawnym sektorze i się do tego przyznaje? Jedno z powyższych musi być prawdziwe. 2. Kwestia działki - problem nowy, czy Legia nielegalnie korzystała z gruntu nienależącego do niej? Tak czy siak, ZZW daje możliwość podpisania umowy dzierżawy do 7.10. Przed meczem z Wisłą. W czym problem? 3. Zakres prac: monitoring, wymiana siatki i ekstra brama. Nic, czego nie da się naprawić w kilka tygodni. Tym bardziej absurdalne wygląda ten termin "do końca 2026 roku", bo oczywiste, że uda się naprawić dużo szybciej. Generalnie baaardzo zawoalowane kłamstwa i gierki mają to do siebie, że łatwo się w nich pogubić. Śląsk przynajmniej wprost przyznał, w czym jest rzecz. Ciekawe, czy Legia na wszystko ma papier. Tak czy siak wielki wysiłek, aby przypodobać się kibolom. Oczywiście znam realia i wiem, że w tym kraju i z tym związkiem Legii nic nie grozi. A powinno grozić co najmniej bardzo szczegółowe dochodzenie. #Legia #kibice #sport
